The Last Hurrah of Garble

The Last Hurrah of Garble is the 48th Episode of Season 3A of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. Ever since the events of Gauntlet of Fire, Nefarious was shocked to only see that Garble returned. Garble explains that Spear, Clump, Fizzle, Baff, and Vex have turned against him thanks to the new Dragon Lord of the Dragon Lands' Wild Dragon Outlands, Princess Ember, who was granted the role from her father Torch after Spike passed it to her upon winning the Gauntlet of Fire. Nefarious angrily demanded an explanation as Garble revealed that he wanted to use the Gauntlet as a way to earn Team Nefarious a new dragon army after Torch was retiring by law, and Garble not only saw it as an opportunity as revenge against the pony community, but to give Team Nefarious a dragon army to use against the Lodgers. Then Spike, Twilight, and Rarity stopped him and ultimately rendered him the biggest joke of the Wild Dragon society when he was forced to hug dragons without explanation. Even telling what he saw in the competition, as well as the fact that Spike was the original Dragon Lord ended up backfiring as Torch already saw too much in his daughter to be fooled by his tricks because of not only Spike's age and choice in life, but because the other dragons, including Garble's goons, were actually impressed with how 'friendship helped her survive against the Gauntlet' while other dragons were beaten and bruised. Though skeptically and out of being respectful to a Dragon Lord, the other dragons began to consider the idea of friendship, and just so happened to like the idea, helping King Drakesis out with the crisis of non-pony relations, and even leading to Drakesis' son starting to date Ember despite Torch being an old bully of Drakesis who competed in several Gauntlets of Fire with him, and previously wanting the same role as King of All Dragons, believing that he would get his chance someday now that he has released a burden to his daughter. As a result, Garble was more humiliated for hoping that infomation that would've worked against Ember had only benefited her even greater. Though the wild dragons are still rowdy to ponies with only viewing friendship as an excuse to make themselves stronger with combined strength, it's obvious it's going in the right direction, and a direction away from Garble's favor, as proven since Garble's former friends are now with Ember and Spike. With Garble technically being viewed as weak for being a stagnated loyalist to the forsakened old wild dragon beliefs, and eventually losing faith, in teen-like angst he looks as if he's on the verge of changing ways himself. Nefarious then decided to bitterly hang onto his 'semi-useful' henchmen, as well as the only reminant to his infamous Gala plan, by ordering him, under the guidance and aide of Bellwether and Lawrence, the intermediate brute muscle from The Diamond Dogs, and the comic relief of Scratch and Grounder, they go back to the Dragon Lands and get that dragon army by using Torch's personal goal to corrupt him with the added use of a corruption serum, to make the otherwise begrudgingly-neutral Torch violate dragon tradition and angrily usurp his own daughter and have the Wild Dragons delcare war on ponies and the weaker civilized beings as an act of revenge against them for trying to 'make dragons including his daughter weak', angrily forcing them to cheer, and mostly disgusted by the obvious lack of enthusiasm. As such, Bellwether has the Diamond Dogs and the Nefarious Troopers build a corruption machine, named 'The Toughenator' by the egotistical corrupted Torch, to re-correct Wild Dragons to being jerks again, making the Gauntlet Volcano their base of operations, taming all the creatures that lived there. Garble, despite getting what he wanted, is surprisingly more put off than glad by what's happening, proven that the fall of his ego cannot be easily fixed. This naturally causes Lawrence and Bellwether to think that Garble will have to be put in the Toughenator just in case he would be used against them. Ember, struggling to keep back a broken heart and hurt feelings she felt for a legitimately first time, goes to warn Spike of what happened. Can Spike, The Mane 7, the Lodgers, Kairi and Gazelle (Who both are here because of circumstances, Gazelle being shown the worlds of the UUniverses, with Kairi being as a guide to her) stop another case of Dr. Nefarious going extreme again, and would Garble end up being a key to unraveling it?

Intro (Skyrim- Song of the Dragonborn (With Lyrics))

Chapter 1: Garble's Lament

Team Nefarious Station

• A Nefarious Trooper guide is seen giving Bellwether a tour around the station.
• Bellwether: ".... Ya know, I am still amazed that Nefarious was able to afford all of this kind of stuff."
• Guide: "Who's to assume he paid for all of this?"
• Bellwether: "Oh, right. Villain. Ya know, it's no Zootopia City Hall, but I just love the sytile he has here."
• Guide: That's alien sci-fi for you. And this IS a big place. You won't get to see much of it since the accident that destroyed the Communications Room and Morgana's Aquatic Chamber. Had to get Undertow and those two rays of hers into an alternate form of water.

Cutaway

• Undertow: (He was in a fishbowl, and Cloak and Dagger were actually in a stolen ray tank, all unamused in their current situation)...This is whales***! I can't even transform into my normal size in a space like this! HEY, THOSE TWO ARE NOT THE KIND OF RAYS TO PET!!
• Madam Mim: But they're so cute!
• Undertow: They bite!
• Madam Mim:...Oh...

Present

• Guide: And already, they hate where they are. There are other places of interest including the view lounge on the top of the station's big domed head. Has a lot of stuff. There's a decent McD's and great activities like a laser tag course for training, a WIIIIIIIIIIIDE plasma screen HV...uh, holovision, it's like our universes' version of television. (Sighs) And it SUCKS that DreadZone was cancelled. I liked that show back before I was a Nefarious Trooper. Had the violence, had the gore, had the foul-mouthed carnage, all the action teenagers could love.
• Bellwether: So what happened?
• Guide: Ratchet and Clank happened.
• Bellwether: Oh, THOSE guys.
• Guide: Yeah, Vox made a grave mistake letting him destroy the station for ratings that were not worth having. But hey, Vox was replaced by his more moral brother and thus a new...voluntary gladiator show was broadcasted. Not as good as DreadZone, but hey, they still fight in the Shadow Sector.
• Bellwether:...Okay, just take me to the Lounge so I can see the elegance you claim of it for myself.

Later...

• Bellwether: DEAR DARWIN!!! (They see that the lounge had a great view of space, and several other Team Nefarious members were seen talking)
• XL: He was SO ugly that EVERYONE died! (Team Nefarious members laugh!)
• Doofenschmirtz: (With Nefarious Troopers) So then the duck says 'Got any grapes?' (They all laughed)
• Gravitina: (She sits in one of the holo-tables of the McDonalds stand as they bring up her food and she just levitates it to her as she sips her drink)
• Torque: (He sits near Warp watching the Villains Channel on the plasma TV-like holovision screen)... Ah, it's so good to watch Heroes Suck Balls. I get to listen to the Lodgers getting insulted for their weak moments. Especially that walking talking cheese of a sponge. His hometown is so stupid, they go into an apocalypse because of the loss of a simple food product. If you ask me, the mayor of that cesspool of a town should have that burger mass-produced if that thing is so important so tirades like THAT never happen again.
• Warp: Eh, it doesn't bother me. It makes me laugh at how retarded Bikini Bottom is.
• Bellwether:... THEY STOLE MONEY FOR THIS?!? Wow, it's really no wonder why crime is always so rampent.
• Guide: Yeah, a lot of bolts and effort was made to create this place. Ever since the last one was destroyed, there are a few new additions. Nefarious' office has a unique viewport for looking out in space, there's a massive armory for containing weapons both illegal and dangerous, there's multiple saucers for deploying Nefarious Troops and hornets, there's a Hypernova Defense Laser for blasting squishy intruders, and the Leviathan II has it's own compartment in the rear. Plus, protocol states that the Nefarious Space Station must not be in the same place twice so the Freedom Fighters do not find us that easily... Though it doesn't stop them from finding us anyway, because... We're in a giant space station that resembles our leader's head! Not exactly an easy thing to miss! And an exsample of why you should be careful on baseing your lair on your ego!
• Bellwether:... Well... This place IS big. I think it'll take a while for me to get used to it.
• Guide: That's what the tour is for. Now let's get to your sleeping quarters.
• However, as the two attempted to leave, they were surprised by a broken looking Garble.
• Bellwether: "..... Is that, a reptile with bat wings?"
• Guide: "..... Not too familier with mythical creatures are you? Ok, to be fair, you were from an isloated and NON-MYTHIC world, so it would make sense you don't know what a dragon is."
• Garble, not even responding to Bellwether's comment, moves on into the room and sat down into a couch and sighed pitifully.
• Zigzag: ".... Oh dear. It would appear, Garble is not in a finer mood."
• XL: "Can ya blame him? I heard he got OWNED in that MLP G4 episode where there was this compition about becoming the new boss of wild dragons. That can send anyone down the crapper."
• Warp: "Wait a second.... Isn't there usually...... More then just him?"
• Rover: "Your right.... Where's Spear, Clump, Fizzle, Baff and Vex?"
• Spot: "Ya don't suppose something bad happened to them?"
• Fido: "Oh! I know what would make him happy! (Brings out a Spike Punching Bag)."
• Fido walks over to Garble.
• Fido: "Hey Garble, little Spike's been talking poop about you again! Your not gonna take that, are ya?"
• Garble only winced in fear from the punching bag and reflexfully burped a powerful flame that sends Fido jumping on his flaming butt like in a Mario game!
• Fido: "DAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!?"
• Fido was yelping like a scared dog!
• Bellwether: ".... Ah, I can clearly see that whatever happened in this event, was not a good day for him."
• Rover: "WHOA!? What exactly happened that caused him to be like this?!"
• Torgue: "Ugh, I hates to say it sweethearts, but there's only one way to find out. Computer, play the MLP 4th Generation episode "Gauntlet of Fire"."
• Computer: "Demand reckindised."
• Doofensmirtz: "Oh, I know it's for Garble, but do we REALLY have to watch this stuff?"
• Warp: "Just do what I do when I'm surviving being tortured by being made into watching something like Barney.... Make gruff and comedic commentary out of it."
• Zigzag: "Oh yes, that will certainly help."

Later...

• Garble: (He growls angrily as he snorted flames after seeing himself hug Torch)
• Bellwether:... (Scoffs, and laughs)... I'M SOH-HA-HA-HA-HAREY! I COULDN'T RESI-HI-HI-HIST!!
• Garble: Hey, bitch, is that wool of yours flammable?
• Guide: Be nice, Garble. Not that it's your thing, anyway, but she's just new here.
• Bellwether:... So... What exactly happened since then?
• Garble: It was EMBARRASSING! That little baby pony-lover ruined my chance to be the next Dragon Lord.
• Undertow: (Morgana came in holding his bowl) What I don't get is how Torch is not the ruler of all dragons, and King Drakesis is?
• Garble: That dweeb is the king of ALL dragons in the Dragon Lands. Torch is just the ruler of a Wild Dragon Community that consists of dragons that are... WERE, the ones that cause trouble in Equestria. You see... It all started when a casual conversation with Nefarious lead to him sending me on a mission to become the next Dragon Lord...

Flashback

• Dr. Nefarious: So, how'd that raid on Tradeworld go?
• Garble: As you'd expect, BADLY! I'd agree those weapons would be strong and upgrade our forces. That place's black market is some sneaky s***, and they provided us with fancy schmancy guns that Warp and XL described as 'stronger than any common outlawed firearm in the black market'. But then... The Freedom F*****s showed up and blew the lid off our entire operation! All the weapons were confiscated or destroyed. We even lost most of our black market access on Tradeworld.
• Dr. Nefarious: (Sighs) Oh, Space Christ! Those Freedom Fighters always find ways to make things worse. Now we've lost most of our black market hold on that place? Well, it doesn't matter anyway! Zurg can completely fix that for us. When it comes to crime in his galaxy, he's always the best source of restoration. But hey, we still have a lot of power. Daxx always provides us with evil inventions and weapons, we're thinking about recruiting Stewart Zurgo and Ace Hardlight and Shiv Helix into our ranks, and we're even trying to locate Klunk and bring him into our ranks. (Sighs) It SUCKS that we don't have the resurrection power the Villain League has. Otherwise, Vorselon and the Valkyries would still be around to serve us.
• Lawerence: "But we managed to bring Zigzag back when he originally died a few times."
• Dr. Nefarious: "That was back when we had the reserection machines! But sadly, they have since malfuntioned by the time the cronicles series started!"
• Lawerence: "Oh, of course. Though, why didn't you think of bringing them back while we have the reserection machines?"
• Dr. Nefarious: "Bad hindsight, I guess. Oh, Speaking of the forementioned characters, how's the progress on that, Lawrence?"
• Lawrence: Going smoothly. We already communicated with those guys, and they are thinking about it.
• Nefarious: And Klunk?
• Lawrence: Still no sign of him.
• Nefarious: (Sighs)... Are you at least keeping what's left of Vorselon fresh?
• Lawerence: "It's like he's not capable of rotting."
• Garble: (Feels awkword about being around the two)... Well... Great... I'd better go, and- (Suddenly, he starts glowing)... What the?
• Nefarious:... Uh... Garby, what's up with you?
• Garble: "..... I.... I don't believe this..... The Dragon Lord has need of me?!"
• Lawerence: "You mean Drakesis? I could've sworn he pretty much views you as a betrayer to Equestia."
• Garble: "Drake is only the ruler of those dragons that accept and "appresiate" the ponies. The Dragon Lord rules the wild dragons where I come from that.... Well, my kind doesn't exactly flat out hate ponies, but we're not fans either. This is awesome!? The Dragon Lord summoning me either means he doesn't know about me joining a group of c-list conquesters, no offence, or he's desperate for something! I mean, now that I think about it, Torch's been dragon lord for a long time, which, by custom, it means...... He, has to retire and get a new heir! WOOOOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOO?! BOYS?! YOUR NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!?"
• Spear, Clump, Fizzle, Baff and Vex walk in, glowing as well.
• Spear: "Ohhh, dude, your glowing too?"
• Clump: "I'm surprise the Dragon Lord isn't aware of us being with Team Nefarious."
• Baff: "Guess he either doesn't know, or doesn't care, or is desperate for something."
• Garble: "Who cares?! Everyone knows that the Dragon Lord is pretty old! You know what that means?!"
• Clump: "Oh! Oh! He got to enjoy alot of birthdays?"
• Vex: "Many years of birthday cakes? I am so GLAD to be a dragon."
• Fizzle: "I can only imagine what my 100th year birthday celebration is like and-"
• Garble: "NO YOU DOLTS?! It means, the Dragon Lord may have to retire soon! And he's gonna want a strong dragon!? We're strong, aren't we?"
• Clump: "Uh, "strong" is a relitively strong word, pardon the pun. We're at least not a bunch of wimps at best."
• Garble: "It means, The Dragon Lord is gonna give his new position to another young and strong dragon, and he's not gonna care who he is or where he came from! It's perfect you dolts! And given he doesn't know or doesn't care about what we were up to, or even if he does know, he's too desperate to be considerate at all, we can potainionally score a wild dragon army for Team Nefarious!"
• Spear: "Ohhhhh. Right."
• Clump: "Any one of us would make an awesome new dragon lord. I would make it that on a certain day in may, we celebrate a holiday called "Burp Day"! (Burps fire as a large flame engulfs Nefarious and left him cartoonishly burned and annoyed.). Oops."
• Spear: "Ha! I would make a holiday dedicated to having a hairsytile like mine! I already envision it, bros! Alot of dragon dudes and chicks having awesome hair!"
• Fizzle: "I would totally abuse my power and demand virgin and infint sacrivices!?"
• Silence.....
• Fizzle: ".... I'm suppose to be the crazy one here, don't be too surprised."
• Baff: "Well, I would use the power of the dragon spector to give myself musles and turn myself into a real ladies man! Awww yeah, I can already picture the sexy dragon ladies admiring me and my good friend, my pe-"
• Vex: "Oh oh oh! If I was dragon lord, I would make it that we turn the entire badlands into a land of chocolate by forcing every magical pony to turn everything to chocolate for everyone to eat! It will also always re-generate and never run out! And that's just sloving world hunger! I can use my power to cure cancer, end all wars, make better relationships with all races, end the death penalty useage, and-"
• Garble got annoyed and angerly bonks Vex in the head!
• Garble: "THOSE DREAMS ARE IDIOTIC AND RETARDED!?"
• Spear: ".... Dude, mellow harsher."
• Clump: "Well let's hear your dream if you think it's any better, Garb."
• Garble: Well, besides the previously stated, I'M gonna start by laying waste to all those worthless ponies in Equestria, IN THE NAME OF NEFARIOUS!
• Nefarious: (Cackles wildly) THAT'S THE SPIRIT, GARBY! You make me proud! I mean, I was gonna give you another mission to do another weapon raid on Zordoom's Weapons Disposal Facility for it's greatest amount of RYNO weaponry and protosuits, but I guess I can have Warp and XL do that for me. As for you, you know you mission! Win that role as Dragon Lord, then report to me as soon as you win and unleash your fury on those ponies... But be sure not to kill any, otherwise it will attract unneeded attention... And we'll be ready for a new age of legions for Team Nefarious!
• Garble: I will not fail you, sir! We will show no mercy to ANY who stand in our way! Come on, boys! Let's make wind! (They fly out to a Nefarious saucer and take off)...
• Nefarious:... Well... Isn't it very strange that an opportunity just came out of nowhere?
• Lawrence: Indeed. I'm sure Garble will do this without a scratch.
• (King Dedede): And I'm gonna take a WILD guess that it failed?
• (Garble): Yeah, THANKS TO THAT DWEEBY BABY DRAGON, THOSE BRATTY PONY FRIENDS OF HIS, AND THE DRAGON LORD'S DAUGHTER!!! I'll admit, I would've made her my queen someday had things played differently.
• (Warp): Did you happen to tell the retiring Dragon Lord the truth about Spike being the initional Dragon Lord?
• (Garble): Not until Ember ordered me to stop hugging dragons randomly because it was embarrassing enough. And so, I told Torch EVERYTHING! I expected him to be angry at her own daughter for cheating her title. But... Well...
• Torch:... Well, how about that? My daughter was not the initial Dragon Lord.
• Garble: Exactly! It was Spike! So? How do ya feel about it?
• Ember: "..... Father, before you get really mad, know that, for the record, the ponies didn't helped, at all! In fact, I kinda don't have an idea how they keep showing up in disguises other then magic. Even then, they never just offered to use magic to get us the spector or anything! They were just, there."
• Garble: "BUT STILL! Ponies weren't suppose to know about this sort've thing! Or, at best, actselly see it! It flies in the face of our traditions!"
• Torch:.... Actselly, this is abit of a huge stalemate. I mean, let's look at the facts.... Well, in one hand, it wasn't like the ponies really actselly helped, more like unautherised spectating at best. But then again, they did witness a tradition not meant to be seen by outsiders. But, showing that teamwork helped her in the Gaunlet, I can't argue how effective that is. But at the same time, it kinda went against the rules. But then again, the rules didn't outright forbidden teamwork. Just heavily enforced the "Your on your own" thing, which in a way is violated. This is kinda a mixed bag here..... (Ember was scared of what would happen)... Eh, I'll let it slide.
• Garble:... What?
• Torch: While I would normally be mad that something like this, and trust me, that was VERY unorthodox, I will say that she had the courage to defy her own father's orders and prove that she could lead just as well as me. As for the baby dragon... I assume he's got a life of his own. Plus, to be fair, he was too young to be the Dragon Lord, AND I assumed he didn't know much about our species. That normally tends to happen when you live with ponies, epseically if you were born cause of them. I just needed as much wild dragons as can be found, even ones that come from eggs that were adopted by ponies. Drakesis was a rival to me in other Gauntlets of Fire, yes, but he at least knows when violence between us and other races are necessary or not. We may be dragons who make our own rules, but we ourselves have a code of honor. Though... Ember...
• Ember:... Yes, father?
• Torch:... Why didn't you tell me this sooner?
• Ember: I didn't think you'd take it well with me being friends with ponies and wanting to-
• Torch: I've heard enough. Honey, you're still my daughter either way. You did something bold and assertive, and risked your own life to prove you were just as tough as me. And as you'd expect, I could care less about how you got this title. But I must say you waited this long to tell me. So I may have to ground you for that. If what Garble said about you providing peace to ponies and us is true, then you might have to tell them that you can't see them for a month.
• Garble: BUT YOU'RE NOT DRAGON LORD ANYMORE-
• Torch: SILEEEENCE!! (Garble was blown into the water and surfaced, gasping for air)... I may no longer be Dragon Lord, but I am still her father, and thus I have equal authority.
• Garble:... (Chuckles)... I knew that.
• Ember:... So I can't see Spike and the others for a month?
• Torch: In the meantime, you can help with other important matters like helping collect treasure from the abandoned Griffin stashes so us dragons can have cave nests.
• Ember:... Yes, daddy!
• Garble:... So... That's it?
• Torch: "Pretty damn much! Also, reguardless of it being the baby dragon or my daughter or otherwise, it would still mean the wild dragons would've had a WAY better leader then someone who was with an alien c-list conquest group. (Garble was surprised.) Yeah, don't think I never heard about that little stunt you and your friends pulled at the ponies' boring gala party! It's one thing to not have much fondness for ponies, but to get involved with aliens and making us dragons look bad? That's almost Malevolent Flames low! Because I'm in a relitively kinder mood, I'll let you off with a warning! Now be gone for our sight!"
• Garble: "But-"
• Torch: WHY ARE YOU STILL HEEEEERRE?!? (Garble was pushed deeper into the water and his head got stuck in the floor as he got out and surfaced, flying off in disgrace)
• (Garble): Yeah, it didn't work out for me. All that conversation did was give me swimmer's ear. But that wasn't the worst of it.
• Spear, Clump, Fizzle, Baff and Vex appeared in front of Garble.
• Garble: "..... Oh, hey guys..... I know, that mission was a MESS! Turns out, Torch was aware of what we were with all this time. Sucks, don't it? All well. We may as well at least return to the base and-"
• Spear: "About that dude..... We kinda have some reflections, man..... You never helped us out when we were in trouble!"
• Clump: "Yeah?! I got shot in the ass by one of those giant eels!?"
• Fizzle: "A blouder messed up my fro, yo!"
• Baff: "I was getting nailed by one of the traps!"
• Vex: "One of the creatures bit me! (Cries)!?"
• Garble: "Look, to be fair guys, it was every dragon for themself, ok?"
• Spear: "That didn't stop Spike from teaming up with Princess Ember and how the two totally worked togather!"
• Garble: "But, they had ponies with them!?"
• Clump: "..... In all fairness, it wasn't like the ponies just teleported them inside the volcano and grabed the spector from there."
• Spear: "Yeah, they pretty much played fairly through and through."
• Baff: "The ponies were pretty much spectators at best."
• Garble: "Ok, fine, whatever! Look, in my defence, Spike and Ember would've ended up ruining the mission, which EXACTLY, HAPPENED!? I was just making sure the mission didn't get wrecked?!"
• Spear: "AT THE COST OF YOUR FRIENDS GETTING HURT?!"
• Garble: "Hey, no body died."
• Clump: "That's because the Gaunlet wasn't designed to kill anyone! Just at best non-fatally weed out the weak from the strong! Seperate the leader from the followers!"
• Garble: "Look, I get it! You're alittle upset that you got pwned in vain in light of Spike getting the best of us!"
• Clump: "You mean the best of YOU!?"
• Garble: "I meant us, cause, isn't it our mission?"
• Spear: "Yeah, but you let your hatred on Spike get the better of you, man!"
• Garble: "For crying out loud, you hate him too!"
• Clump: "To be honest, we more disapprove to his lifesytile then truely hate him. In all fairness, we did used to had a great time with him."
• Garble: "THAT WAS BEFORE THE PONIES?!"
• Baff: "It was kinda also because Spike drew the line at picking on that Pheniox family, bro, and the ponies just sort've made everything even more conflicting."
• Garble: "Bros, don't you remember what ponies have done to our kind in the past? I mean, OUTSIDE of the Elephant dragon in the room that is P.J.D., ponies have done nothing but turn dragons like that dweeb Spike into slaves and wimps! Turning our kind into a joke and wimpifying them?! Worse off, Celestia just, allows this! Oh, it's one thing for the Griffins and the other Mythic Beasts to use ponies like pack mules, but when baby dragons get turned into servents and house maids and are kept from being true to themselves, THAT'S SOMEHOW FUCKING OK?! That's pretty much why I hate Celestia and Ponies?! THEY'RE HYPOCRITES!? They abolished pony slavery but dragons still get the short end of the stick with every one egg or so being taken from perfectly good dragon families to be turned into slaves?! Or worse, like, when they used to be the one ever pony that was awesome to you, (starts crying), and then, and then, some bad arguement with Sunbutt ends up sending her away to where I can never see her again and-"
• Record Scratch.....
• Clump: "...... Dude.... Were you adopted into Ponies?"
• Garble: "N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-NO?!" I--I-I-I-I-I-I-I--I-I--I-I!? That was a tongue slip and-"
• Spear: "Then what's with the water works, yo?"
• Garble: ".... Saltwater in the eyes?"
• Baff: "The wimpering?"
• Garble: "I don't wimper!"
• Clump: "Ok! I'm getting the feeling that you aren't being honest with us here?! Did you used to be with a pony until something bad happened that drove you to return to your wild roots or what!?"
• Garble: "Nn-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-n-no!? Alchourse not?!"
• Spear: ".... Typical. You refused to be honest to us because of pride. Your too prideful to admit to something in fear we would think of you as lame for it! If it helps, if you told us what's going on, it would've gave us insight to why you hate Celestia?!"
• Garble: "BUT YOU GUYS LAUGHED AT MY CELESTIA JOKES?!"
• Baff: "It helped only because you were funny. We otherwise didn't hated Celestia. Do we think she's imperfect for a god? Yeah! But do I hate her for it? No! She controls the damn sun for crying out loud and basicly defeated forces that even Torch would fear!?"
• Clump: "Either you swallow your pride and admit it, or we're gonna reconsider our friendship!?"
• Garble: "THERE'S NOTHING TO ADMIT!?"
• Silence.......
• Spear: ".... Oh yeah? Then we're done being with you."
• Garble was surprised.....
• Garble: "Wha..... Wha....."
• Spear: "You made pride more impourent then us! Even for villain standerds, that's uncool?!"
• Clump: "And let's be honest, we're not even with a COOL alien villain team?! We got a bunch of C-Listers! The only good thing it has for it is mainly Zurg and his friends, but that's about it!? What's the rest of them like? A goof-ball Sciencetist? A Blue Penguin? Dr. Blowhole's and Mojo-Jojo's three way love child with a Jack Russel Terrior? Diamond Dogs? Two dipshit robots? And among others, a has-been darkspawn of machinery?! Hell, it might no longer be accreate to even call him a darkspawn anymore!"
• Baff: "On top of that, we basicly lose every damn time?! I mean, too be fair, even the cooler villains don't win, BUT AT LEAST THEY TRY MORE THEN HIM?! WHO KNOWS HOW LONG UNTIL WE,..... THEY, CAN SCORE A VILLAIN THAT CAN SERVE AS NEFARIOUS' SECOND BRAIN OTHER THEN LAWERENCE?!"
• Fizzle: "In otherwords, we want out of that noise?! Out of wanting to congure worlds, out on taking orders from a spazzy cyborg! Out on being disgraces to our speices?! And most of all....."
• Fizzle, Clump, Spear and Baff: "WE WANT OUT OF BEING WITH YOU!?"
• Garble was incredabily hurt by that.....
• Vex was seen crying and had turned away from this.
• Garble: "..... Vex..... You..... You still got my back on this, right? We've, we've been friends since Celestia's- Duh, uh, since birth from our totally true wild dragon days?!"
• Clump: "Oh, so Vex wasn't a wild dragon either? Well, at least that as soon as he gets better, we'll ask him then?!"
• Garble: "Hey, leave him alone, you drones?!"
• Vex: ".... NO!? (TURNS ANGERLY AT GARBLE TEARS AND FIREY NOSTROLS ABLAZING!?) IT'S YOU WHO NEEDS TO LEAVE ME ALONE, DRONE?! I, HAVE SUPPORTED YOU EVER SINCE WE BOTH LOST SUNNY AND STAR?! I NEVER GOT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO STAR, AND SUNNY NEVER CAME BACK AS FAR AS I'M AWARE!? (CRIES), YOU, YOU SAID THAT FOR AS LONG AS I STICK WITH YA, EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE!? WELL, EVERYTHING'S NOT FINE?! NOT FINE AT ALL!? I HATE YOU?! I HATE YOU!?"
• Vex cried loudly!?
• Spear and the others comferted Vex, while looking at Garble bitterly.
• Spear: ".... Come on guys.... Let's go see if we can beg for Dragon Lord Ember for forgiveness and to give us a new life in the wild dragon community... We're done with being with Team Nefarious...."
• The group left Garble alone.
• Garble fell into silent crying and flew away to be alone on the volcanic island, where even the hostile creatures left him alone in his sorrow, sensing that harrassing him is not befitting for his situation....

Present....

• Garble: "I ended up staying there for a long awhile, till I desided to get the guts to return to base and waiting for the ineditable for Nefarious to be pissed at me."
• Doofinsmirtz: "(Sniffs).... And they say the Lougers are the ones who get the saddest moments?"
• Warp: "Wow.... Sucks to be you.... Seriously...."
• Zigzag: "But a very concerning problem! Nefarious needs to be alarmed of defectors so we can work to reabilitate them back into our side at once!"
• Garble: "I'M NOT YET READY FOR NEFARIOUS TO KNOW ABOUT THIS?! I'm, I'm just waiting for when I can earn him into a good mood! I assume whatever he was doing intermediately during my absince didn't go too well!"
• King Dedede: "It went horrorably. Plus, Scratch and Ground wrecked our communications AND Morgana had a accsident in her room!"
• Garble: "That's why, I can't let him or Lawerence or his man-child-bots Scratch and Grounder know about this or else-"
• Nos-4-A2: "One minor issue. (Points to Scratch and Grounder poorly disguised as a lamp and a flowerpot were seen.)"
• Grounder: "..... Uh..... Nobody here but a flowerpot and a lamp?"
• Scratch: "YOU DUMB OX, WE'RE NOT SUPPOSE TO TALK?!"
• Garble screamed, then growled, as he aimed to mess the two screaming num-nuts up until Bellwether intervined!
• Bellwether: "OK, OK, OK, WHOA?! Now, before we turned into savages here, let's try to have calmer heads here?!"
• Garble: "I'M NOT READY FOR NEFARIOUS YET?! THOSE TWO NEED TO BE MADE TO SHUT UP ABOUT IT!?"
• ???: "Oh sure, those two may be easy to silence."
• Lawerence was seen.
• Lawerence: "But I don't fancy myself the easy to scare type. Other then not having a fear chip instailed."
• Garble: "Aw come on, Lawerence, I know Nefarious is like your boss and all, but he can't know about this yet!?"
• Lawerence: "Look, I'm normally one for "cutting a bro some slack" as one would say, but something like defectors is serious business for Nefarious. He needs to know of this."
• Garble: "But he's already mad as he is! Him discovering that I ended up losing to Spike and Ember for the Dragon Lord position would cause him to throw away his anger management skills.... For the upteenth time in a row."
• Bellwether: "Well keeping secrets from him is just gonna make his day even more unpleasent!"
• Warp: "Yeah, kinda have to agree here, kid. Ever since we lost Blueblood, you and your friends, along with the dogmen, are pretty much the closest reniments of that Gala fiasco. Nefarious tends to be, touchy about that sort've deal."
• Mr. Smarty Smarts: "Trust me on that, Garb. He hasn't taken not being able to have an Alicorn in Team Nefarious very well. He's still throws temper tandrums about it!"
• Ice King: "Believe me, dragon, you do NOT wanna see the nasty side of the doc!"
• Garble: "But I need to be able to make a good excuse for it and-"
• All of Team Nefarious stared in concern!
• Garble: "..... What?"
• All the Team Nefarious members ticked their heads to turn around.
• Garble looks to see a stern Nefarious.....
• Nefarious: "(Struggling to maintain anger), Excuse, for, what!?"
• Garble: "(Squeaky) Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
• Nefarious: Is THAT why you've been absent this whole time? Not only did you FAIL to become the Dragon Lord, AND waited THIS long to tell me about it, but you ALSO HAD A PAST WITH PONIES YOURSELF, AND AGAIN, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!? YOU INSOLENT, FIRE-BREATHING, OVERGROWN- (He glitches again as Strangers Like Me by Phil Collins was playing)
• Garble:... Please don't slap him.
• Lawrence: Too bad, we have to. (Slaps him)
• Dr. Nefarious: -LIZARD!!! YOU HAVE FAILED TWICE IN BEING HONEST WITH ME!!! YOU DO REALIZE THAT A PAST LIKE THAT CAN BE DAMAGING TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP HERE!!! WE'VE EVEN LOST YOUR LITTLE FRIENDS THANKS TO YOUR ARROGANCE!!!
• Garble: Sir, please, this is nothing you can't fix, right?
• Nefarious: I'M FAR FROM DISCOVERING CORRUPTION!!! I ONLY CORRUPT THROUGH CAREFUL MANIPULATION!!! ACE HARDLIGHT WAS TOUGH TO CONVINCE BECAUSE OF HIS POSSIBLE REFORMATION!!! WITH WEAKNESSES LIKE YOUR PAST, IT MAKES IT EASY FOR THE HEROES TO USE THAT AGAINST US!! WE MIGHT LOSE YOU AS A RESULT!!!
• Garble: Sir, I would NEVER lose my alliance with you. My pony liking days are done when Sunny vanished.
• Dr. Nefarious: "Depends. What was Sunny's full name?"
• Garble: "Sunset Shim- (Realises certain events)......... Ohhhhhhh.... If it helps, she probuly doesn't even remember I existed anymore. She's been away to that other dimention for so long that-"
• Dr. Nefarious: "SHE'LL JUST AS EASY BE REMINDED AND EVERYTHING GOES TO SHIT?! AND I HAVE A SAVE ASSUMTION THAT VEX WAS WITH STARLIGHT, WHO IS STILL IN EQUESTIA?!"
• Garble: ".... Ohhhhhh shit. Again, I'm sure that cutie-mark communisum thing, or, whatever it is really is in light of recent inconsistences brought up by the analist community, has made her forgot all about Vex! Ponies don't exactly have the memories of elephants you know!"
• Bellwether: "Hey, that's racist! I met PLENTLY of elephants who had memory problems or don't always remember everything!"
• Garble: "..... Man, that Zootopia place is a politically correct pain in the ass. What I meant is, Star and Sunny are far unlikely to even have a hint of knowing we exist, let alone remember us! Star got too caught up in her bad luck and eventually Sunny turned bad and-"
• Dr. Nefarious: "BUT NOTHING'S REALLY STOPPING THEM FROM BEING REMINDED?!"
• Garble: "Oh come on, I didn't even canonly reformed!"
• Dr. Nefarious: "Neither did the Hyenas, Kaa, Icky, Sir Hiss, Argueability Fidget in light of that obscure Disney comic where he became friends with that same family he messed with awhile back, EVEN FREAKING LORD SHEN AND THE WOLF, but it didn't stop them from becoming good guys!? And that's just to name a few!?"
• Garble: "You disincluded Iago and Cynder-"
• Lawerence: "That was because their reformations are canonly reciniseable. Nefarious was referencing the uncanon reformations."
• Garble: "Look, I'm sure in our standerds, I'm probuly like that Tai Lung guy! I probuly have too bad a reputation AND I'm too close to you guys to just go and change!"
• Dr. Nefarious: "THAT'S A RISK I CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE?! Cynder and Shen had crap reputations with socity too, AND LOOK HOW WELL THEY WERE ACCEPTED!?"
• Lawerence: "Give or take a few awkword instences were their redemption roads hit some bumps along the way."
• Garble: "Oh come on, the Lougers don't reform EVERY villain they come across!"
• Warp: "Then you didn't see half of those new cronicles episodes."
• Garble: "I mean as of this time?! It looks to be that they still have a healthy rouge's gallery!"
• Dr. Nefarious: "AGAIN!? RISK, NOT, WORTH, TAKING!? EVERYONE TO THE MISSION BRIEF ROOM, NOW!?"
• Nefarious angerly stomps away!
• Bellwether: "Another mission after a few weeks? But aren't we still recovering from that botched mess from Zootopia?!"
• Lawerence: "That's what happens when Nefarious gets angry or determined or stubbern enough.... (Rolls his eyes) He flat out ignors logic."
• Bellwether: "..... Wow, no wonder the other villain teams mock you."
• Zurg: "That's not even half of our problems."

Chapter 2: Nefarious' New Plan

Mission Briefing Room

• Nefarious: (All the Team Nefarious members were sitting inside a large circular room with seat rows and a holographic table as he came in)... Well, my friends... It seems that we have something important to do thanks to the arrogance, neglect, AND the stubborn recklessness of Garble McMoron here costing us valuable members AND bringing a conflict into his very membership.
• XL: Boss, are you entirely sure that you know what you're doing?
• Nefarious: YES I'M SURE! If we don't strike now, then that dragon is going to blab about Garble's past to our enemies and use that to their advantage! Then we'll lose MORE of our connection to Equestrian dragons. We're launching a full-scale and strategically-planned assault to conquer the Wild Dragon Lands before those dragons reveal sensitive information that could ruin us! I REFUSE to have our power with Equestrian dragons eliminated by some do-gooders!
• Escargoon: And you're sure that risking it more by conquering that land is a good idea?
• Lawrence:... As much as I'm afraid to admit it, I'm afraid they may have a point.
• Dr. Nefarious: ARE YOU KIDDING?!? WE'RE IN A NO-WIN SITUATION HERE!! Would you rather the information be revealed to the heroes and they take Garble and his connection the dragons away from us, OR DO YOU WANT TO GO THE EASY WAY BY TAKING THE WHOLE CONNECTION BY FORCE?!?
• Scratch: What if the heroes end up taking the connection either way? Like you said, we're in a no-win situation.
• Dr. Nefarious: It's all we've got at the moment! We MUST protect our connection to the dragons. And the first step is to corrupt Torch!
• Garble:... I thought you didn't HAVE corruption technology.
• Dr. Nefarious: That didn't stop me from stealing from others. I have been able to steal shipments of the Villain League's corruption powder, and create a powerful corruption serum out of it.
• Lawrence: Sir, I think that might've been a poor decision.
• Dr. Nefarious: Maybe, but nobody had suspected it yet, so they won't be a problem for the moment. Either way, I have created this serum in order to corrupt anyone who drinks it. Garble? You, Lawrence, Bellwether, the Diamond Dogs, Scratch, and Grounder will go there and administer the corruption serum to Torch. Once you do, the rest of us will be there to launch the invasion.
• Bellwether:... But how exactly do we convince him to drink it? It's not like he's gonna just randomly drink whatever he is offered, espeically not from strangers and the one guy whos' basicly the biggest shame ever. No offence. He's too smart for that as a former Dragon Lord.
• Dr. Nefarious: I'm sure you'll think of something. Readings has shown he now resides in a series of caves that housed aged dragons. It's in an area neightbering the Badlands. Watch out because sometimes the residents get cranky.
• Garble: "Oh trust me, you do NOT wanna end up disturbing an elder dragon..... This one minotaur did, and no one ever heard from him again."
• Scratch and Grounder gulped.
• Dr. Nefarious: "Our shorces discovered that the reason he went there because the mountain is near to a private dragon oasis filled with dragon-themed flora. Including a litteral snap dragon flower, which is basicly a meat eating plant simular to a hybrid of normal snap dragons and the venus fly trap, flame-flowers, flowers that do as name suggests, and, the most nasty of the bunch.... Danalions."
• Grounder: "That's not so scary."
• Dr. Nefarious downloads an image of a Equestian Danalion, which is litterally a normal danalion plant with a lion face on where the seeds grow in.
• Grounder: "...... I'm conflicted to feel scared or amused by this."
• Dr. Nefarious: "Trust me! You'd be wise to be afraid of those things! They're giant flowers the size of trees with the feriousty of a lion!"
• Bellwether was about to say something!
• Dr. Nefarious: "Appearent lion racisum unintended! What I meant by that is, these things aren't pussy cats or a nice little daisy!"
• Scratch: "Then why are you sending three robots, a sheep, three dog creatures, and one teen dragon there when you have several much more capable combat built guys on the team?"
• Dr. Nefarious: "Because this is Garble's redemption mission, in due to the fact that, THE MESS WAS HIS FAULT?! Also, I'm sending you two there as punishment for what happened to the communications room! Lawerence's coming to make sure you two dimwits don't louse it up! And Bellwether's going cause she needs to have a first team nefarious mission OUTSIDE of the Zootopia one."
• Grounder: "Figures."
• Scratch: "Of course that fiasco comes to full circle."

Space.

• A Team Nefarious ship is seen flying throughout space, and eventally, reaches Equestia's space.

The Retiring Dragon Mountian.

• A Huge Dragon-faced mountain was seen as elderly, sometimes huge dragons are seen by it.
• The foremention private dragon oasis was seen, teaming with life, including the dangerious plants.
• The Ship lands just outside of the area.
• The Team Nefarious Squad came out.
• Bellwether: "I calulated our chances, and, if we use the serum to contaminate the Oasis, it will corrupt Torch."
• Lawerence: "But there is one small problem. (Points to the hostile plants) They might be an issue for us to get to the water."
• Bellwether: "That's why, Garble's gonna be the one to do it. I wager these things aren't hostile to dragons."
• Garble: "Yeah, but, only if your about the size of Torch or if you put up a damn good fight! Those plants don't respect wimps! They eat'im!"
• Scratch: "Wow, even in retirement, dragons are hardcore."
• Garble: We can maintain a healthy fighting youth for thousands of years. The age-limitations of dragons is unspecified, even for us. Torch is over 2300 years old, almost as old as King Drakesis. Plus, we go through up to 50 growth spans depending upon the breed, and the size that Torch currently is, is not even the largest. They can be roughly the size of skyscrapers.
• Bellwether:... I say you still need to go down and corrupt the water.
• Garble:... If you say so. (He flies down after taking the gas bomb containing the serum, and he is immediately met with the dangerous plants harassing him) WHOA, EASY!! (He flies off before any dragons that were alerted by the plants' noise could notice him, even Torch. Garble was seen hiding in seaweed)... Whew! (Got the seaweed off)... That was close! (Takes the serum gas bomb, and tiptoes towards the shore)... (He looks to see if there is anybody)... (He suddenly throws the bomb into the water as it sank down and scared off the fish)... Alright, that's that.
• Bellwether: Good work, Garble.
• Garble:... (Chuckles) Nothing to it- (He is suddenly chomped in the butt by a Snap-Dragon flower) YOWW?!!
• Bellwether:... (Sighs) Get him out of there and let's get out of plain sight.
• Scratch and Grounder ran off and grabbed Garble away from the plant as the duo scream from a plentora of hostile plants!
• The Two made it back to the hidden group before any elder dragon saw what occured.
• Bellwether: "..... Wow, that was close."
• Lawerence: "Well, now it's the matter of the waiting game, I suppose."

Chapter 3: Torch Gets Torched

Hours later.

• Torch gets out of his cave.
• Torch: "Ohh, man. Retirement could've been more exciting. A quick sip from that nice little oasis, and then back to sleep."
• Torch flew off and got to the Oasis, the hostile plants leaning out of his way.
• Torch: "Yeah, you lousy plants better move out of my way."
• Torch approves the water and saw that it was red.....
• Torch: ".... Wow..... Ok, who or what did you plants kill?"
• Silence....
• Torch: "..... Ahh, what do I care? It was probulity another desperate goblin vagabond. Honestly, that always happens. Why do we have an oasis of hostile plants to begin with? Oh well. Water's water."
• Torch leaned down and tried to drink, but noticed an off putting smell.
• Torch: "EW!? Wow, this particular Vagabond smelled AWFUL?! He smells like bad enfluences for some reason?! I'm reporting this to the Oasis keeper!"
• Torch was gonna walk away.
• Torch: "OASIS KEEPER?! I THINK YOUR DARN PLANTS KILLED ANOTHER GOBLIN VAGABOND!? AND HE REALLY SMELLED BAD!? YOU MIGHT WANNA LOOK INTO THAT AND-...And...(He suddenly got red eyes)...and LORD TORCH IS BACK!!! (Cackles)
• Dragon #1: WOULD YOU SHUT UP?!? PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!!!
• Torch: (Roars and flies off)...
• Dragon #1:... Okay, now he was just teasing me!
• Bellwether and the group were seen hiding and watching Torch move.
• Garble:... Well... Did it work? Is Torch corrupted?
• Bellwether: As he'll ever be! It's lucky for us the mere act of sniffing the darn stuff is as effective as actselly consuming it. It sort've helped that he was weak-minded.
• Lawrence: You've fully redeemed yourself, Garble.
• Garble:... Heh, I guess that whole thing wasn't so bad after all. So... Now what?
• Bellwether: "Now, we introduse ourselves to Torch, and get him into the right direction.... Cause without it, he'll end up doing what he darn well wants and prematurely get himself in trouble."

Elsewhere in a meadow.

• Torch: "First I'm gonna find me a village to burn down, then I'm gonna kidnap a princess and keep a huge hoard of treasure, then I'm gonna kick some knight butt, and then-"
• Suddenly, the Nefarious group intersected.
• Torch: "What the- What is this?"
• Bellwether: "Hello there, my, very large friend. We're a group of concerned travelers who-"
• Torch: "Wait, is one of you guys that Garble dork? Hey.... Your those Team Nefarious guys. (Realises that there was only Bellwether, The Diamond Dogs, Lawerence, Scratch and Grounder.)...... Well, to be honest, I was expecting better."
• Bellwether: "(Quietly) Well great, he's onto us, but at least he's corrupted. (Openly) Oh, you see, there's way more of us, but, they aren't to come in until WAY later. In the meantime, you should be thanking us for placing in a rejuvination potion into the oasis and make you capable to retake the throwne for the wild dragons."
• Torch: "Oh that was you? Well not to be a critic and not meaning to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it SMELLED BADLY! Ya might not wanna quit your day job. Also, you kinda contaminated the oasis, so alot of other elderly dragons are gonna end up drinking it if they don't get that smell first."
• Bellwether: "Let's not worry about that. Now, we reinjuvinated you because you need to keep wild dragons from becoming pony loving wimps."
• Torch: "Hey look! I may not entirely approve of what my daughter is doing, but I do kinda see where she's coming from. Working with the baby dragon helped her win the title of Dragon Lord. By all accounts, she's allowed to do what she pleases."
• Bellwether: "(Quietly) I figured that corruption serum would take awhile to really work. (Openly) And that's fine, but we have info that she's dating someone related to someone you don't like!"
• Torch: "You mean Drakesis' kid? Look, admitingly, it wasn't my first choice, but to be honest, outside of being a pasifist pony lover, Drakesis is still a pretty tough guy, even though I'm WAYYYYY awesomely bigger then him!"
• Bellwether: "(Quietly) Ok, time for the big guns. (Openly). It's fine you don't have any problem with that what so ever.... But aren't you worried about mythical creature slayers?"
• Torch: "Well, the worse of them is Pred Judu Des, but luckly, that old mule finally lost his luster. But other then that, yes, I am abit concerned that Ember's new-age management would send a wrong message to them right there."
• Bellwether: "(Quietly) Bingo. (Openly) Well, we're concerned that the other mythic creature slayer groups might catch wind of this and use this as an oppertunity to wipe out the wild dragon community! Now you certainly don't want that do ya? Not only your dear daughter falling victim to them, but for the once proud wild dragons to go down in a wimper? When you used to be encharged, they took trash from no one! Don't you want to make it that way again....."
• Torch: "..... Say, your right! Well-meaning as Ember is, we wild dragons need to be tough and bitter to survive and to keep the likes of mythic beast slayers away from us! You convinced me, wooly little sheep! This old dragon's coming out of retirement! Forget what tradition said! But.... I'm kinda gonna need your guys' help because, well, Ember has the spector now, and even with my size, Ember holds the spector empowered by the jeweled heart of the fallen dragon god of volcanos Lavorious."
• Bellwether: "Oh, worry not. We have a plan for such an occation."
• Torch: And what would that be?
• Lawrence: Simple! All you have to do is find a way to separate your daughter from the scepter. But since you're too large for such a sneaky mission, it'll be Garble's duty to do that.
• Torch:... Well... Alright, then. Consider it approved. As soon as I get the scepter back, I shall begin a new conquest.
• Lawrence: Yes. But in return, you must help us get rid of some heroes that might stop both us and you.
• Torch: I am a dragon of my word, and I wouldn't allow that to happen to me. I shall dispose of these 'heroes' you speak of.
• Lawrence: Good. Now let's get started.

Dragon Lands.

• Ember was seen with an older son of Drakesis, while the local wild dragons are communing.
• Ember: "Dragoflos, or, Dragflos, or, how you pronounce that name, this community couldn't've gotten any better ever since I got in charged."
• Dragoflos: "And on top of it, you even managed to rebiliate those ex-friends of Garble."
• Crashing was heard!
• Spear, Clump, Fizzle, Baff and Vex in armor were seen around broken pottery.
• Spear: "..... It was like that when we got here, we swear!"
• Ember: "(Sighs)..... But I did NOT cure them of their stupidity."
• Dragoflos: "Though.... I'm still worried about this.... Won't Garble, or Dr. Nefarious most likely, be vengeful about the situation?"
• Ember: "Dragy, I process a spector with a jewel made from the heart of the fallen Dragon God of Volcanos, Lavorious. I think I can handle Garble and his C-List friends."
• Dragoflos: "I, kinda flunked history. Who was the Lavorious again?"
• Ember: He was a dragon god who, in our lore, used special gemstones beneath the volcanic earth to augment his flame breath beyond even a Dragon Lord. Tragicly, he was among the dragon gods killed from the Choas Wars. This jewel was what became of his heart when he died.
• Dragoflos: "Wow..... That sucked. Is it great to know that you're under the gaze of a new dragon god? Well, dragon goddess to be more correct."
• Ember: "You mean Healzon? Oh like you wouldn't believe. Her existence alone should totally halt down those slayer groups. With them out of the way, dragon and pony relations will improve."
• Dragoflos: "Well, I can arrange a chance to have a conversation with her. She's pretty much staying in my dad's kingdom."
• Ember: "You would do that?"
• Dragoflos: "Totally. Well, depends on my dad. He's, kinda neutrol to you, cause, well, he and your dad used to be, and argueabily are still, rivels. I heard alot of stuff about the two having conflicting ideals about how dragons should treat or view ponies."
• Ember: "Ugh, like you wouldn't believe! This whole thing started because Drakesis was viewed in civilised dragon socity to be a better befitting leader then dad because everyone was put off by dad's.... "Colorful Opinions"."
• Dragoflos: "I'm sure they weren't THAT bad."
• Ember: Well... See... My dad has a burning belief that ponies don't belong with dragons because of how they treated us when really it was how WE were treating THEM! Only Drakesis knew the difference. Thus, Drakesis was picked on by dad and/or less enlighten dragons during his dragonling days. It wouldn't take until my dad and yours challenged each other and made a bet that if Drakesis lost, he leave the Dragon Lands in disgrace for his very beliefs, and spend the rest of his life being a lost dragon. And if my dad lost... Well... He would call himself a loser who believes that ponies deserve to be in a toddler's show.
• Dragoflos: Oh, yeah, daddy told me those stories all the time when I was little. We laughed every time.
• Ember: Ever since, my dad has been trying year after year to surpass Drakesis in the civilised dragons' verson of the Gauntlet of Fire, and at first it started out with both of them losing. It wasn't until one faithful day that the two ended up in a tie by touching the civilised verson of the scepter at the same time. Thus a tie-breaker Gauntlet of Fire was declared in order to see who would get to be the one to rule civilised dragon socity. They made ANOTHER bet, and this time, if Drakesis lost, he would be banished off-world to another dragon world where dragons are nothing BUT savage and greedy. And if my father lost... Well... He would call himself a loser who believes that ponies deserve to be in a toodler's show... AND are incredibly girly bimbos... IN FRONT OF ALL PONIES!!!
• Dragoflas: (Scoffs and laughs hard) I'm sorry! My dad told me about THAT, too! I STILL can't hear that with a straight face! (Laughs)
• Ember: (Giggles) Well, neither can I, because he deserved it for sure. Not to mention that this left my father to be shamed in both pony AND dragon society. Thus, he left and went here, and made his own Gauntlet of Fire, and his own specter with thanks of the remains of Lavorious, and became the Dragon Lord of a wild dragon socity. He would later have me, and after centuries of ruling this place, here we are.
• Dragoflas:... I'm sorry, what did you say?
• Ember:... Were you distracted by me again? You know what happens when you do that. You end up babbling like an idiot out of sheer-
• Dragoflas: Who's babbling, I, uh, I, uh, I'm not babbling. I wasn't distracted by your, uh, laughter. I mean, come on! Besides, I, uh, already know what happened to Torch since he lost that second bet.
• Ember: (Laughs) Okay, Dragy, I think we've been around long enough. I'd better take you home.
• Dragoflas: NO!... Uh, I mean, sure. It was nice to see you anyway, cute, uh, I mean beautiful, uh, I mean, pretty eyes, uh, I mean gleaming scales, uh, I mean, Ember. (Chuckles nervously)
• Ember:... Yep, you definitely need to go back home, otherwise you'll end up in another one of those embarrassing wet-yourself moments. I swear, the day you learn to control your own puberty, I'll be the first in line for the celebration.
• Dragoflas: Sorry, I just-
• Ember: No need to apologize. Some of us go through it often.
• Spear: (Laughs) Did you really ej*******?
• Ember: GUYS, PLEASE DON'T START!! Now come on, I need to take you home. I need to resume my duties and make sure nothing goes wrong when Garble's friends possibly arrive.
• Dragoflas: Uh, sure thing, toots, uh, I mean, hooters, uh, I mean, tits, uh, I mean, chesties, uh, I mean, Ember.
• Ember: Okay, PLEASE don't talk until we're there. You're starting to amuse me... And quite frankly, that'll make it worse. (They fly off)
• Baff: "Ahhh, young love. We never witness things like that in Team Nefarious."
• Clump: "Oh diffently. So glad to have gotten out of that mess of a villain team. Next thing you'll know, Nefarious would end up recruiting a little sheep into the team!"
• The Teens laughed!
• Fizzle: "I would laugh my ass off if he actselly did that!"
• Spear: "I bet the sheep would have a stupid name too! Like "Ewe"."
• Clump: "Me?"
• Spear: "Not "You"! "Ewe"."
• Baff: "Me?"
• Spear: "No! "EWE"!"
• Fizzle: "Me?"
• Spear: "NO?! "EWE"?!"
• Vex: "Oh it's me for sure, right?"
• Spear: "NO!? NOT ANY OF YOU!? "EWE"!? AS IN E-W-E, THIS REALLY WEIRD WORD ASSUSIATED WITH SHEEP?!"
• The 4: "Ohhhhhhh.... Still don't get it."
• Spear: "..... (Face-palms) Ugh...... No wonder Garble wasn't a good friend to us."
• Clump: "Well his own fault for expecting guys who laugh at their own burps and farts to be confident followers and-"
• Vex farted a flaming fart.
• Silence....
• The five laughed uncontrolability!
• Clump: "Nothing like a good fart to lighten the mood!"
• Spear: "I know what else would lighten the mood. Making fun of the possability of Nefarious recuriting a sheep."
• Vex: "Oh yeah! I bet her name is something stupid! Like Little Bo Peep!"
• The 5 laughed again!
• Clump: "(Falesto voice) Hi! I'm little Bo Peep, and I'm with Team Nefarious!"
• The group laughed!
• Baff: "(Girly voice) I'm a cute little evil mastermind with the lust for power and changing the world for sheep everywhere!"
• The 5 clowns yuck it up!
• Vex: "(Falseto voice): "Oh woe is me, the idea of getting sheared makes me poop my wooly pants!"
• The 5 laughed harder!
• Spear: "I, I, I got a good one! (Falesto girly voice) Oh, look at me, I'm a sad little twerp with over-sized glasses and a nepolion complex! I also have a rediculious hairsytile and bad taste in clothes!?"
• The 5 laughed until Fizzle laughed even harder when he was pointing at something!
• Fizzle: "DUDE?! THERE'S THIS LITTLE SHEEP STAREING AT US WHO FITS THAT DISCRIBTION?!"
• The group look at an angry Bellwether.
• The 5 laughed harder!
• Bellwether: "...... May I tell you idiots off that Bo Peep, and Ewe, are the most OVERTLY USED INSULTS THAT TROUBLED THE SHEEP COMMUNITY OF ZOOTOPIA FOR DECADES!?"
• Clump: "Wait, Zootopia? That politically correct furry movie? Well what're you doing out of there?"
• Bellwether: "Well, while you idiots were with Garble on that botched mission to claim the spector, I was recruited into Team Nefarious and-"
• Clump: "Wait..... Nefarious DID recruit a sheep?!"
• Bellwether: "Well, yes, and-"
• The 5 laughed as loud as they did, often shouting "MY GOD, HE ACTSELLY DID IT?!" and "AND WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT TOO?!"
• Bellwether: "...... Torch, kick their asses."
• The 5 suddenly stop!
• Clump: "Wait wha-"
• Torch came out of nowhere and smacked the five with his tail, flattening them cartoonishly like pancakes.
• Bellwether: "So.... Are you imbaciles willing to treat me with proper respect now?"
• Spear: ".... One question..... Why is Torch taking orders from you? He's normally extremely too prideful for that."
• Torch: "Oh, she and some of those C-Listers, including your "friend" Garble gave me a rejuvination potion that makes me young again."
• Baff: "..... But you're still old as all hell!"
• Torch: "Well, I imagined it was only on the inside, cause I still get backpains and artrithise. Other then that, I came back to reclaim the spector and take back my throwne away from my daughter and her beliefs that, while I am not against, are just gonna risk slayer groups getting the wrong impression that wild dragon socity is easy pickings now!"
• Spear: "And you listened to them? Really? Dude, we were apart of these guys and they are known tricksters! Whatever was that "Potion", it most likely wasn't what it was discribed and-"
• The Diamond Dog trio, along with two guards of their pack, nabbed the 5!
• Bellwether: "Now fortunately, I actselly have a use for you half-wits! And it'll start once that Ember girl comes back."

Dragon Kingdom

• Drakesis: Thanks for all you've been doing for Torch and for the rest of our kind and ponies, Ember. Normally, I'd be pissed because of your father, but because you've impressed the dragon community by reforming Garble's friends, I'm in a good mood.
• Ember: But you still trust me with your son, right?
• Drakesis: To be fair, not only would it be rude and unreasonable of me to just automaticly dispise you because of the fact that I didn't really liked one of your birth parents, but also because you have shown you are not like your father. You're more kind-hearted, and you show good respect for my son.
• Ember: Yeah, we had a good time. Had to bring him back because he was starting one of his puberty moments again.
• Drakesis: (Sighs) I was dreading for his puberty getting the best of him, just like it did with me.
• Ember:... Then I can clearly see where he gets it from. No offence sir. (Suddenly, her scepter acted up)...
• Drakesis:... Is there something wrong?
• Ember: It's a distress signal! The Wild Dragon Lands are being attacked! No doubt it's Garble's space friends wanting revenge. I gotta go!
• Dragoflas: YEAH, GO GET 'EM, BABE!!! (Drakesis looked at him sternly)... Sorry, dad, I can't help it!
• Ember: Take care, Dragy! (Flies off)
• Dragoflas:... If you'll excuse me, I need to use the bathroom. (Goes there)... (Suddenly, disturbing sounds were heard from there)
• Drakesis:... (Sighs) I have GOT to set up an appointment for him.

Later...

• Ember: (Flies to the same spot) ALRRIGHT, GARBLE! I KNOW YOU AND YOUR SPACE FRIENDS ARE HERE!! SHOW YOURSELVES NOW AND NODRAGON GETS HURT!
• ???: "Seriously? It's bad enough ponies do that "Nopony" and "Everypony" shit every now and again, but even you dragons do it?"
• Nefarious on his head-shaped hovercraft with Lawerence and Bellwether present appeared.
• Ember: ".... Dr. Nefarious I presume?"
• Nefarious: "Oh no, you totally mistaken me for someone else. My name is "Shit Sherlock". First name "No".
• Ember: "Well your surprisingly sassy for a doctor. Just what are you a doctor of?"
• Nefarious: "Machanics, and, EVILLLLLLLL!? Obviously."
• Ember: "There's no doctor for being evil."
• Nefarious: "Believe it or not, there is. (Brings out his lizence and credentals of being an offical mad sciencetist). You had no idea how much CRAP I have to do to be reckindised as an evil sciencetist. Appearently since 1991, every mad sciencetist needs to have an offictal lisence. It's so you can automaticly be pointed out for any exspeariments getting out or a doomsday gone south and be made to do all kinds of insurence crap. Have you not heard of the UU Senate Bill Mad Science Accountability and Answers For Unessersary Pain Causing Act, or MSAAAUPCA for short......... Yeah I know, it's kinda of a bad actranim, but it's arguebily still better then the actrenim for Doofenshirts' enemy Parry the platapus OWCA!"
• Bellwether: "But you have to admit, Senator White's "UTAH" Bill is abit more clever."
• Lawerence: "But kinda insulting to the state of Utah in the grand sceame of things."
• Ember: "Ahem!? If you're all done being abunch of dorks, I'm just about to send your sorry butts out of here!"
• Nefarious: "Dorks, huh? Would dorks be able to capture an entire community of wild dragons?"
• Nefarious points to every single wild dragon captured by the rest of Team Nefarious, including the straight-jacketed Garble's friends.
• Spear: "..... We're not gonna be blame for failing to protect everyone, are we?"
• Ember gasped!
• Nefarious: "And would DORKS, be able to coherse a powerful dragon to join sides with us?"
• Ember: "Pff! Like any self-respecting dragon outside of GAGble would actselly take you clowns seriously."
• ???: "EMBER?!"
• Wind was felt around Ember as Torch was seen silluetted and red-eyed.
• Ember: "Dad? What're you doing here? Can't you see I'm in the middle of chasing out some C-List losers with the Spector?"
• Torch: "(Reveils himself) And I am proud of that, really I am. But you see, these very "C-List losers", rejuvinated me, albeit only on the inside, disappointingly, and made me realise that, while I respect and understand what your trying to do, in the long-term, IT'S GONNA END UP HAVING THIS COMMUNITY DESTROYED BY SLAYER GROUPS IN MINUTES?!"
• Ember: "Wait, what? But what ever happened that your not gonna butt in on what I'm doing?!"
• Torch: "That was before I was informed that making the wild dragons soft is gonna be the downfall of us! While I know those Slayer Ponies don't speak for Equestians as a whole, we can't afford to lose our resolve! If we start being kinder and friendly, that's gonna end up getting us all killed and getting the spector in the hands of a slayer who would use it to harm the rest of the Mythic creature community! I kinda can't afford that on my good contence, Ember. I wouldn't live with myself if your embracement of that silly and flawed pony religen of what is assentually a pet name for an allience ends up getting you killed, not mentioning the potainional Mythic Being doomsday by a slayer with that spector! I'm coming out of retirement and claiming back the spector!"
• Ember: "Bb-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but, dad, the traditions said you can't!"
• Torch: "The traditions are but products of lack of future hindsight! They weren't designed to counter against those that foolishly embrace ponies and their weird worship in being friendly! We're not like those pussy civilised dragons! We're wild dragons! We're supposed to be crude, bitter, cynical, and nasty at worse to ponies, not be party guests for their tea parties!?"
• Pellow-Obcessed Dragon: ".... So does that mean I'm gonna miss out on Pellow-Blossoms Tea Party?"
• Torch: "Dah, I, Blah, YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?! Your already being a damn bloody bad enfluence?! Good grief, and I thought you dating Drake-sissy's kid was the highlight of you turning out to be a mistake!?"
• Ember gasped by this!
• Torch: "..... Yeah! I admit it! You are a mistake!? And not just a mistake as letting you become a leader, BUT I MEANT A MISTAKE AS AN OFFSPRING!? I knew there was a reason why I didn't let you compete in the Gauntlet other then being small! I honestly thought you knew better then to assusiate with ponies?! HOW MANY DAMN TIMES DID I MADE YOU AWARE OF THAT?! YOUR JUST SUDDENLY GONNA FORGET WHAT THE SLAYER GROUP MYTH KILLERS DID TO YOUR WAAAAAAAAY BETTER BROTHER!? NOT FORGETTING THE REST OF YOUR SIBLINGS AND FAMILY?! WHAT, DO THEIR FUCKING DEATHS MEAN NOTHING TO YOU ANYMORE?! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE EMBER I RAISED TO HATE PONIES WITH A PASSION!? DID THAT MORONIC SLAVE-BABY TURN YOU INTO A SAD LITTLE PUPPET LIKE HIM AND-"
• Ember: "SHUT UP!? (Everyone was surprised by that outburst, even the never-liking this in the beginning Garble) I THOUGHT YOU SUPPORTED ME?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE READY TO MOVED ON!? I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO CHANGE?! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO GIVE THE PONIES A CHANCE, BUT YOU PROVEN TO BE AS HARD-HEADED AS EVER?! AND ALL IT TOOK WAS GARBLE OF ALL PEOPLE AND A BUNCH OF C-LISTERS TO SAY OTHERWISE?! I THOUGHT YOU FINALLY SAW ME AS A FULLY CAPABLE LEADER, BUT YOU BACK-TRACKED ON THAT BECAUSE COMPLETE STRAGERS AND GARBLE SAID SO!?"
• Nefarious: "(Quietly) WOW that corruption serum really kicks in!"
• Torch: "Ember, I just felt that it might be a better idea to held onto the spector for a bit longer and to make sure we make a periment enough mark to keep slayer groups from ever going after us! I only want to remind the world that Wild Dragons have no time for nonsense like that friendship junk!?"
• Ember: "JUNK!? SPIKE SAVED ME FROM DROWNING CAUSE OF THAT "JUNK"!?"
• Torch: "..... Ember, we're dragons. We're semi-aquatic. Though that doesn't mean we can hold our breath forever since we don't have the longer lungs sea dragons do, but you could still pretty much survive. If anything, all the baby dragon did was putting you back in the game."
• Ember: ".... Oh yeah. I don't know why he ever thought I was gonna drown.... But he saved his friends from danger!"
• Torch: "And what benifit he got from it? Endangering himself! Also, I bet he only did it because of slave-obligations! Do you think those dips*** horses would save HIM if he was gonna be eaten or killed or raped or something!?"
• Ember: BECAUSE HE SHARED A CLOSE BOND WITH THEM BECAUSE HE WAS RAISED BY THEM! You know that the ponies often adopt our eggs when they are either abandoned or lost of their parents. Wouldn't YOU do the same?
• Torch: Enough talk! I'm talking back the position, and that's final! I need to spend the rest few moments of my life punishing ponies before they do something horrible to us!
• Ember: AND WHAT BAD THINGS HAVE THEY DONE TO US?!? WHY WOULD THEY FORM A UNITY IN FAVOR OF US?!? WHY WOULD THEY RAISE OUR KIND TO BE BETTER THAN WHAT WE WERE BY NATURE?!? DRAKESIS IS DOING YOU AND I A FAVOR BY ESTABLISHING PEACE WITH OUR RACES!! I THOUGHT YOU COULD SEE THAT!!
• Torch: I did at first. But then my eyes were open thanks to the good points brought up by these people.
• Ember: THEY'RE PLAYING YOU!!! THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT YOU BELIEVE AS TO MAKE YOU EVIL AND AS BITTER AS YOU WERE IN THE PAST!!! I KNOW YOU, FATHER!! WHATEVER THEY DID TO YOU, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT IT!
• Torch: SILEEEEEEEENCE!!! (She is pushed into the water face-first as Torch grabs the scepter from her)...
• Ember: (Takes her head out and coughs) EVEN IF YOU CAN HAVE THAT SCEPTER, OUR TRADITIONS WON'T LET YOU TAKE IT BACK! It won't respond to anydragon but me!
• Torch: "..... CURSE YOU LOGIC!? YOU ALWAYS RUIN EVERYTHING?!"
• Dr. Nefarious: "Tell me about it."
• Bellwether: "Well, she said any "dragon", so I guess that means that anyone not a dragon can-"
• Ember: "Let, me, rephrase that! It won't respond, to ANY "ONE", but me!"
• Bellwether: ".... Up, there it goes."
• Clump: "Yeah, you guys are out of luck there! And there's no way you'll ever learn of the reverseal of power incantation to restore Torch's original position back from Ember!"
• Ember face-palm!
• Warp: "..... (Quietly) And Nefarious wants these clowns back in the team WHY?"
• Bellwether: "Ohh, an incantantion you say? Do tell."
• Clump: "Yeah. And there's no way that you'll get us to reveil that the incantantion is "We Dragons Rule and Ponies Drool" In reverse."
• Ember groaned at this annoyed by their stupidity!
• Spear: ".... Clump..... Uncool."
• Clump: "Oops."
• Ember:... Yeah, the "Oops" fixes everything.
• Torch: "..... Ohhh. Right..... I forgot about that silly incantantion. I remember making it back in the day. Anywho, EW SNOGARD ELUR DNA SEINOP LOORD?!"
• The Incantantion activated the spector and took away Ember's ability to use it as Torch is restored of his control.
• Ember flopped to the floor in defeat and humiliation.
• Bellwether:... How in the world can you pronounce something literally backwards? Even I haven't managed that!
• Torch: "It takes vocal practice, my wooly friend. Now, there is the matter of this stupid thing being too small for me. (Makes it WAY bigger) Better. Now, Ember, I'm willing to give you two opitions. You at least willing to humor me and follow me through in my new plans to forcefully make ponies respect and fear us dragons, or I'll have to exsile you. And trust me. If you think I don't have the guts to exsile my own daughter, then you have some wishful thinking! A dragon lord is professional and unbiased of who he banishes! Even if he/she is related to said rehivient of banishment."
• Ember: "(Cires), YOU DON'T NEED TO EVEN DO THAT?! YOU BROKEN MY SPIRIT AND MY FAITH IN YOU?! THAT'S DAMAGE ENOUGH!?"
• Ember flies away crying!
• Torch was momentarly off-put by that, but quickly regains composure.
• Torch: "Teens. Am I right?"
• Garble looks as if he's very guilty about this.
• Torch: "But still. The fact these ponies caused this personal termoil in my family PROVES these stupid ponies are in dire need of being reminded of their place! What they did to my daughter, is an act of war!?"
• The captured dragons looked shock at that prospect.
• Dr. Nefarious: "Well, I think I did all I can do. The rest of Team Nefarious and myself will return to base now. Bellwether, Lawerence, I am entrusting the continuing operations with you two. Help Torch "Toughen up" the Wild Dragons for war!"
• Bellwether and Lawerence saluted!
• The extra Team Nefarious group left the original team on the area.
• Rover: "..... So..... Now what?"
• Bellwether: "Luckly, Nefarious left supplies to build a machine to, "Toughen" up the dragons again to return them back to being mascilenient."
• Torch: "Well if any fancy alien device is being made here, I want to name it!"
• Bellwether: "Ok, hotshot, lay it on us."
• Torch: "Uh..... Oh, how about..... The Toughenator!"
• Scratch: "(Quietly) Oh dear god, and I thought Doofensmirts was bad with that kind of stuff."
• Grounder: "(Quietly) Tell me about it."
• Bellwether: ".... Not, a name I would've choosen, but, you're the Dragon Lord. Ok, robots, weird, mishapen, dog people, you are to commence construction of the uh, "Toughenator" and follow Nefarious' instructions to the letter! Ok people, let's go go go!"
• The Diamond Dog guards and the Nefarious troopers commence with their orders!
• Lawerence: "I'm also for taking advantage of the volcano and the local creatures and the entirity of the Gauntlet as a base of operations, good Torch. Mind telling us every bit of detail?"
• Torch: "Oh, you bet."
• As Torch started to ramble, Garble looked distressed.

Later...

• Garble sat down as he saw that the island was being converted into a Team Nefarious lair.
• Garble's still ex-friends arrive.
• Garble look in shock at them.
• Spear: "...... Why did you do it, bro?"
• Garble: "...... I was only listening to the doc, ok?"
• Spear: "Not good enough! Why did you ruin Ember like that!?"
• Garble: "It was Nefarious' idea, ok?! He wanted to teach her a lesson about messing with those impourent to Team Nefarious!"
• Fizzle: "And ya do that by turning her dad into a douche and leaving her broken hearted?"
• Garble: I HAD NO CHOICE!! HE COULD NOT AFFORD TO LOSE SOME VALUED TEAM MEMBERS!
• Vex: And why not? Because he was afraid that we would tell everyone about our past with Sunset and Starlight? (Garble was shocked by that)
• Spear:... Yeah, didn't think we'd go there, did you? Did you REALLY think we wouldn't notice? Do you think we're stupid?
• Garble: I've NEVER thought that!
• Fizzle: It seems that you did. Hence the point why we will NEVER be with you OR Nefarious!
• Spear: Besides, the moment we join you again, we'll end up doing what (Nudging Clump) SOMEDRAGON else did to make the situation worse! Clump would still blab about you and Vex's past either way even if we DIDN'T figure it out.
• Fizzle: In fact, the Lodgers DESERVE to know about that past, because we know that this is NOT you! We are telling them EVERYTHING they have to know.
• Garble: YOU CAN'T!
• Spear: And who's going to stop us? (Suddenly, gun cocks were heard as they were surrounded by Protomantises)... Me and my big fire-breathing mouth.
• Lawrence:... I'm afraid we cannot let you leave! (The five flew off, but the Protomantises shot them down unconscious, leaving Garble to look away in horror)... Bring them to the dungeon. Nefarious will decide what to do with them later.
• Garble:... Lawrence, are you sure shooting my friends were worth it?
• Lawrence: They were threatening to do what we came here to stop. You know we're doing this to not just restore your friends' loyalties, but to protect yours as well. And if the Lodgers know that you have a tragic past with ponies that caused you to hate them, they will use that to their advantage. We're doing what is best for you.
• Garble:... I don't know if this seems necessary, though. Don't get me wrong, I am still loyal to Team Nefarious, but I don't think shooting my friends was a smart move.
• Lawrence: They are not even dead. Plus, Nefarious is not going to have them sentenced to death. He is going to use the Toughenator to restore them back to loyalty. You don't want to leave, do you?
• Garble:... No.
• Lawrence: Then trust me when I say, this will all be worthwhile.
• Garble: What about Ember? She's sure to bring the heroes here because of her exile.
• Lawrence: That's what the base of operations, the Toughenator, and the dragon armies are for. Now let us move on. We need a plan of counter-attack as soon as trouble comes.
• Garble left as Bellwether walked up to Lawerence.
• Bellwether: "(Quietly) Let's play it safe with him and have him be placed in the machine first to discourage the possability that he'll lose his edge."
• Lawerence: "(Quietly) The Good Doctor has already considered that in light of Garble's recent behavior alone. See Miss Bellwether? Already he's starting to follow your exsample and he's thinking ahead of the situations."
• Bellwether: "Glad I was of service."

Chapter 4: Ember In Need

Ponyville.

• Rarity: "WOW those last few episodes were exhasuting!"
• Pinkie: "I know! And we're not even done yet! They're still two more until the hiatus kicks in!"
• Rainbow Dash: "Yeah, first that dragon adventure stuff awhile back, then Trixie and Starlight becoming Besties, THEN MY EPIC CROWNING ATTHIVEMENT TURNING INTO A WONDERBOLT, (SMILES FOR ABIT THEN FROWNS) Kinda took an unexpectedly humiliating turn, BUT STILL!? I'M, A WONDERBOLT NOW!? I KNEW MY AWESOMENESS WOULD PAY OFF IN THE END!? Then another early Hearths Warming Speical, then our rather misadventures-worthy exspearience in Rarity's manehatten shop, then came Applejack's "Day Off"."
• Applejack: "And it's only gonna get busier with the episode that introduses Fluttershy's actual brother, a canon possability of getting to see Fluttershy's family, and that episode about Rarity and Pinkie Pie going to canterlot to help a father and daughter fix their troubling relationship over their business."
• Spike: "I have to give a critqute on that. Does a family spat REALLY count as a friendship problem? I mean, families argue all the time, how come Oak is never picking up family arguements like crazy? I mean, prior to the fact that Starlight appearently BROKE it cause of the Time Travel Fiasco AFTER the original scroll was sent away. And then Fem broke it even further with THE SAME CRAZINESS!?"
• Starlight: "I SAID I WAS SORRY!?"
• Twilight: "But to answer the question over all, I guess this particular one must be serious enough that it needs to be addressed. Sometimes family arguements lead to disowning and disavowing your family."
• Spike: "Yeah, but, how does family connect to friendship when you almost already like the people your family with?"
• Applejack: "Family is impourent to everyone, Spike. Sometimes your family is the bestest friends any pony can ask for when someone unrelated to you can only do so much. Take the Apple Family for exsample. We're more tight-knit then a room full of yarn-knitters."
• Pinkie: "You should see my family! We stick togather like a rock pile!"
• Spike: "Then why did you left them to work for the cakes?"
• Pinkie: "Well, kinda because of my cutie mark to make ponies happy, that kinda makes me unable to properly be a amish rock farmer, so I had to find a career to fit the talent, and luckly, the cakes half-adopted/hired me into their home/slash/business! By all means they still love me, but they insisted that I find a life best suited for what I can do."
• Applejack: "Yeah, that is almost what Applebloom was afraid of. Not getting a cutie mark that matches the family. She told me she had this one dream that because of getting a derpy eyed Dolphin cutie mark that we just upright disowned her! Like we would forsake her because of something she doesn't have control over! Heck, the fact we treat mah aunt and uncle Orange like family members disproves that dream by a long shot! We still invite them to the reunion! So they desided to move far from the tree. They're still apples in our eyes and they still love the family. It's just that they felt the country life didn't suited them much. Sure, they are vastly unlike the rest of our kin being more like Manehatten sofisicites then something appolosia would produce, but family's family, and it ain't right to disown them often because things they have no control over or even if for things nobody quite knows the full story of."
• Fluttershy: "Sadly, that's not always true. By all means, I know mother and father love my brother very much, but they are being such doormats to him and letting him do as he pleases. I think he should start caring for himself and not.... Be a "Freeloader" as some would discribe."
• Starlight: "Depends, was he always mommied in his life?"
• Fluttershy: "Oh, yes. Alot."
• Starlight: "Well there you go. Nothing breaks a person's ability to be independent by always caring for them. He obviously sounds like the kind of guy that should've been made to learn to care from his self as soon as before he starts seeing puberty. Your parents' fault for allowing him to basicly become a staillian-colt to begin with."
• Rarity: "Well that was abit rough."
• Starlight: "Hey, it's a fact. Also, I'm starting to notice a trend.... Why am I mostly absint in these episodes?"
• Twilight: "Well, that could be because the writers want to take baby steps since some of the brony community are still, unsure, about your reformation."
• Pinkie: "That, and it's because you aren't needed for EVERY episode! Heck, there's episodes for the Crusaders and that we're not always gonna have a spot in some way! I mean, think about it, what sense would it make to have Fluttershy be in the "Rarity Investigates" episode? If a character isn't really needed there, don't bother with them. Heck, a better exsample is Rainbow's cameo in the Applejack's Day-Off one. Sure it was funny to imagine RD taking pedicures and massages, but, what was the point of that other then a joke? It was entirely un-nessersary and-"
• Everyone stares on the surprisingly logical sounding Pinkie....
• Pinkie: "..... What? Sometimes the Brony Analist Community rubs off on me."
• Starlight: "Ugh. Please don't talk about those guys. A good number of them don't respect what happened to me and expected me to suffer the worse."
• Pinkie: "That's because the reformation was kinda rushed and the fact you commited cronoterrorisum, not forgetting that Jerry Peet thinks that only children and child-minded mental cases would take your philosify seriously and that Toon Kritic even thinks you worked better as a villain and that you kinda stole the position that he personally believes that Sunset would've earned more then you."
• Starlight: "Oh don't get me started on that creep! He made a joke about 'accsidenty" putting me into a airlock when mistaking it for a jailcell and not giving much of a fuck about it, the sadist! I do NOT like that guy!"
• ???: "Tell me about it!?"
• Diamond Tiara was walking by.
• Diamond Tiara: "He didn't even wanted to talk about me!"
• Diamond Tiara left.
• Starlight: "I mean, sure he said mostly nice things about Gilda and Discord and my sis Sunset, but he criticised me and Trixie! He doesn't know what really happened outside of what the canon show allowed! He has never been in my shoes! What gives him the right to ciritcised me!? I bet the Lougers never have to deal with this kind of shit!?"
• Pinkie: "They kinda did. There's this guy on Devientart that criticised 4 of the original crossover episodes. The one that had the worse was the Hercules one cause of several things, but most netouriously the Fidget/Shifu fiasco. The critic was practicly ROOTING for the possability of Fidget being kicked out for good! Well joke's on him, that little bat's still a team member!"
• Rainbow Dash: "To be fair.... How DID Pain and Panic back when they were Hades' Stooages and The Frog Hunters were able to get past them when they were clearly outnumbered? How did two cowerdly imps and three dead-brain swamp-living rednecks get past them?"
• Twilight: "I asked them about that once, and, well....."

Original SAFA Series Flashback

• The Lougers have an intense stand off with Pain and Panic and the Frog Hunters.
• Icky: "All right, stooges! We're onto Hades' little game and-"
• Pain and Panic turned into giantic brutes with menacing power and faces....
• Icky: ".... Shape-shifters..... Of course."
• Outside of Oylimpus, loud fighting and smashing sounds are heard!

Flashback ends.

• Twilight: "..... The Lougers used to be alot less, effective, back then."
• Starlight: ".... And yet Zeus didn't hated them for screwing up in protecting his son?"
• Spike: Well, he blew his top and caused a thunderstorm, so yes, he pretty much did. They were possibly like that because the plot had to move along somehow.
• Applejack: Sure wasn't enough to shut them critics up, though, because they said it was STILL uncalled for.
• Spike: Well, I say, they should probably do with what they got.
• The Gang entered the castle and just as they were about to relax-
• ???: SPIKE! (Ember came in with watery red eyes, and flew through the window panting after hours of flight)...
• Fluttershy: MEEP?!! (Hides under her throne)
• Rainbow Dash: "WHOA?! EMOTIONALY DISTRESSED DRAGON!? QUICK?! SHOW THEM CLIPS OF THOSE SKYRIM DRAGONS TRASHING PLAYERS!? IT ALWAYS MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER!?"
• Spike: Guys, that's Ember, the Dragon Lord of the Wild Dragon Lands that I helped stopped Garble at!
• Applejack: Shouldn't it be 'Dragon Lady', because 'Lord' seems like a pretty masculine title.
• Spike: To be fair, Dragon Lord traditionally went to guy dragons, there was rarely any female dragons interested in ruling, so yeah, she's a dragon lord dispite being a girl.
• Twilight: Ember, you look you went through a horrorable exspearience!
• Ember: Understatement of the entire millenda! My father has been corrupted by Garble's space friends! (Starlight was confused and caught-off guard by those words...) They've made him overthrow me with lies about how my rule would cause some mismanagement between both our races, and wants to end it by wreaking havoc on you.
• Rainbow Dash: WHY THAT DOME-HEADED BUCKET OF BOLTS!!!
• Twilight: We must inform Celestia and Drakesis about this!

Celestia's Castle

• Drakesis: "OF ALL THE STUPID THINGS TORCH GOTTEN HIMSELF INTO?!"
• Celestia: It is troubling that Nefarious wants Garble's friends back in the team.
• Rainbow Dash: I know, right? They even caused Torch to literally say hurtful things to his own daughter. She came here with red sore eyes.
• Fluttershy: I never thought I'd get to see any grown-up dragons since those many Dragon Migrations.
• Ember: *Sniffs* Those guys need to be stopped! I know my father would never say such hurtful words.
• Drakesis: "Kinda making assumtions, are you? This is the same idiot who tried to brute-force his way into the position of power and litterally have an incantation basicly be a childish taunt torwords ponies, made backwords! If anything, all this corruption did was made him more willing to embrace these sad C-Listers in even usurping his own daughter! I bet the corruption had nothing to do what his real opinions on what you were trying to do on the matter were. All it did was made him honest about it."
• Ember: "YOU DON'T KNOW THAT!"
• Drakesis: "Trust me. Do you think an old brute like him will ever forgive ponies for the actions of the less then graceful few? For all you know, he trusted the spector you held more then you in protecting the dragon lands! And it only failed because of his own stupidity!"
• Celestia: "Drakesis, please, Ember is not in the right mood to hear about your ciriticisums about Torch, understandable as they may be from your past with him. For what it's worth, the fact he even allowed his daughter to be a new lord and had not try to misuse his power to just simply give it to someone he would've more prefered, is proof enough he's not as closed minded as you think."
• Drakesis: "Perhaps, but he is NEVER without his doubts. And corruption or not, all it takes is just a silver-tongue and suddenly he's against you!"
• Celestia: "I won't expect you to get over your personal feelings with Torch, but at least keep a open mind about him having more to him then a stubbern beast."
• Drakesis: "(Sighs).... Ok, I'll give the imbacile SOME doubt and would like to believe that insulting his daughter wasn't ENTIRELY his own mind, or at least they were opinions he kept locked up out of legit valuement to his daughter and the corruption caused him to not just keep the opinions to himself for once."
• Spike: "Still though, that Nefarious really went the deep end! And for the dragon teens?"
• Luna: Indeed. Nefarious is risking so much by claiming the Dragon Lands.
• Rainbow Dash: The first risk being letting Ember go and let US warn the Lodgers! D*** move, Nefarious! D*** move indeed.
• Rarity: That's actually a good point, why would Nefarious have Ember banished instead of keeping her locked up? He literally left himself wide open for the Lodgers to come in and whoop his sorry butt.
• Celestia: "Two possabilities. It may not nessersarly be Nefarious' doing, rather him letting Torch deside what to do with her, thinking it was best to keep Ember from ending up being used as a moral sheild to re-wake Torch from his corruption should Nefarious make the mistake of harming her.... Another is..... He wants the heroes to know about this as a chance to give out a reminder to the Lougers that trying to reform Garble's friends was a mistake."
• Spike: "But, tecnecally, they didn't reformed canonly and they currently don't have a reason to.... That I'm aware of."
• Starlight looked as if she finally had an empiffeny!
• Starlight: "Wait wait wait wait! Did you say, "Garble"?"
• Spike: "...... Yes?"
• Starlight: ".... Does he have a friend named Vex?"
• Spike: "Well, he HAD a friend named Vex until they basicly dumped him for being a cruddy friend. I don't have the full story why though...."
• Starlight: "..... I think I may have one..... I was wondering what ever happened to those two ever since I left!"
• Rainbow Dash: "Ohhh boy. (Brings out a soda). Here comes another twist with Starlight...."
• Twilight: "What do you mean?"
• Starlight: "...... Twilight..... Garble and Vex were the assisents of my sister and I."
• Everyone but Rainbow Dash who was drinking the soda gasped.
• Rainbow Dash: "(Burps). Good night, everypony."
• Spike: "Ok, let me get this straight! You mean to tell me, that Garble wasn't a wild dragon AFTER ALL!?"
• Starlight: "Yes, and Garby wasn't always so hostile. He was my sister's assisent, I had Vex. He was so sweet and affectionate. He always agreed to do the most rediculious exspeariments with my sister, often along with Vex! One time, we tried an exspeariment on how Balloonble Bees would collect hunny from faces! (Laughs abit) It took FOREVER to get those two back down!"
• The group started to laugh!
• Applejack: "(Laughing). Sounds like you 4 were inseperateable."
• Starlight: "We were! But..... We all know what happened afterwords.... First, I was the one who ended up disappearing.... Then..... Sunny followed suit.... And now....... They, must've ran away from home and became wild dragons.... Or something worse happened."
• Celestia: "..... I can't believe I never reckindised them...."
• Spike: "..... WELL NO WONDER HE EVEN KNEW WHO CELESTIA WAS?! I mean, outside of her name being well known, but, I once read that typical teen dragons don't particularly care about political figures names to the point of not even knowing the person who has that name! I thought the fact those numnuts knowing who Celestia felt off!"
• Rarity: "Where did you read that?"
• Spike: "From a book from the dragon community that looks like Bedrock in Fillydelpia.... Wait, are we still not allowed to reference the comics?"
• Scroopfan's voice: "Don't worry, the ban has been lifted. Though we're still disavowing "Seige of the Christail Empire" as mostly uncanon with exception to the lore of the Unibras, Umibros, or whatever they were, the rest of the comic trilagy was just too conflicting to this series and personally abysmal to consider."
• Rainbow Dash: "Ya mean like Lightning Dust being bad again for no realistic reason?"
• Applejack: "The involvement of The Flimflam Bros and Iron Will for no logical reason?"
• Pinkie: "Along with Celestia, of which your a huge fan of, and Luna getting a really poopy treatment in that comic and the reforming of Sombra which you might consider both unrealistic AND too canon conflicting to the over-all arch your planning with him?"
• Scroopfan's voice: "Try all of the above. Look, I'm once again ok letting the comics be referenced again for as long as it's not the Seige one with only some minor exceptions like those freaky horse monster abominations with the hard to spell name. For now on, it's considered to be the one comic that is obviously fake to the reality of Equestia and of which has NEVER happened! Ok? I mean, the Unibras or whatever were still a problem, but the events of the comic never happened, deal?"
• Applejack: "Luckly for you, it never actselly did. It was legitamently just Hasbro being fanservicey again with the comics and-"
• Scroopfan's voice: "Good."
• Spike:... So, anyway, I guess this WOULD explain another reason why Nefarious is doing his. He probably didn't want Vex to tell this to us, and thus make it easier for us to reform Garble, and in his own words, "I'VE ALREADY LOST ENOUGH AS IT IS, YOU INSOLENT SQUISHIES!"
• Twilight: Makes perfect sense. Garble's one of the closest he's got in his power on Equestria, and he wouldn't let anyone take it away from him. Not even the Lodgers.
• Spike: So... CAN we reform Garble with this information?
• Applejack: I'M still stuck on the durn fact that Garble is even HATING ponies because of what we just learned. Why would he mysteriously hate us when he was raised by them like Spike was?
• Starlight: Other then because he was extremely sad to has lost Sunny and me, I can only do guess work. Usually, the Garble and Vex I knew wouldn't be like that. Something HAD to happen to him to make him so distasteful of us. It would have to take something cruel, something heart-breaking, something EXTREMELY bitter that would've caused him to have a prejudice against our-
• Twilight: Wait.... Prejudice?...
• Fluttershy: (Sighs) Pred BETTER not be involved with that!
• Rainbow Dash: Yeah, I think we've had enough of HIS past self now that he's doing his hero duties the right way, thank you very much.
• Starlight: "Oh, don't worry. I was sure to warn Vex and Garby of Pred during his youth. He knew to avoid that old nutcase and knew he wasn't a true representation of ponies. If anything, as far as I can currently tell, I think the real shorce of them being like this now, is because they were simply befriending wild dragons and they became bad enfluences in terms of how to view ponies, and they said awful things even about Celestia out of looking cool. Even ending up believing them themselves to cement it. Obviously, Garby must've ended up breaking that echo chamber when he was losing his friends. They could've enfluenced them badly with their own prejudices."
• Spike: Yeah, that prejudice, AND that attitude of his seems pretty strong. When I first met him, I thought he was a little TOO cool. Then he tried to kill me over not smashing Peewee's egg.
• Twilight: Speaking of which, Ember? You happen to know why dragons kill babies of their own species?
• Ember: Dragons are very territorial and aggressive creatures. All of them in this world are capable of speaking perfect English AND can be reasoned with, yes, but it's like the relationship with baby and adult Komodo dragons. Adults tend to cannibalize offspring. In the some segments of wild dragons' society, if they're crazy enough or are more animalistic in nature, cannibalism is legal. Some find it as a kind of primitive instinct that they won't give any concern for babies of their own species. To feral dragons, babies are either family or trespassers.
• Fluttershy:... That... Sounds rather mean.
• Ember: Most dragons are like that. In fact, since we're reptiles, the reptilian region of our brains are larger, and therefore we are aggressive, and can easily be pushed to our limits. Anything we find cruel and unfair in our eyes, including a trespassing, theft of gold used in nests, and even a kick to the nose, can set them off like an autistic teenager.
• Fluttershy:... And THAT gives me ANOTHER good reason to fear dragons.
• Ember: Oh, don't get me wrong, we dragons may be, "Mean", in your words, and damn proud of it, mind you, but even we can acknowledge friendship like the rest of you ponies as long as we're treated well. And I'm guessing that whatever Pred or another discriminative pony or because of peer preasure by Garble's other friends, could've pushed Garble and Vex's aggression levels and caused them to inevitably despise AND distrust you ponies. When dragons mature, their reptilian brain regions do as well, thus making it easier to piss them off.
• Spike:... I had no idea. Will that ever happen to me?
• Twilight: I sure hope not. Because hopefully, you won't end up like Garble or Vex, because you'll thankfully be with us long enough to learn proper manners. (The two hug)
• Pinkie: "Provided if we avoid giving you too many presents again and repeat "Secret to my Excess"."
• Twilight: "Besides the point, Pinkie."
• Celestia: Well, we must contact the Lodgers at once! We can't handle one of their villain enemies by ourselves.
• Luna: "Luckly, they came to equestia as part of their universeal tour to show Gazelle socities outside of Zootopia."
• Spike: Already on it! (Runs off)

Chapter 5: The Lodgers' Convenient Visit

Manehatten.

• The Lougers are seen in the city as Kairi and Gazelle are with them.
• Gazelle: ".... This place is incredable! How can a city like this be able to exist in what some of you previously discribed as a "Semi-Medevil world"."
• Kairi: "Kinda hence why we called it that. Sometimes their homes are very simple, other times, others managed to make almost modern looking buildings like these. Trust me, tecknowagey still barely has a true enfluence here, so, they still use carrages."
• Gazelle: "I see."
• Icky: "Trust me, Gazzy. Your gonna LOVE the sweets they have here, espeically Pinkie's! Her cupcakes are awesome.... Oh, and uh, don't ever take that awful fanfiction of the same name too seriously should you ever end up encountering it. Trust me, it's thankfully fictional as all hell."
• Gazelle: "I'm not sure what that is, but that sounded like I should take your word for it."
• Duke: "How do these little horses manage to build a city this large and in charge?"
• Gilda: "You'd be amaze on what magic and being able to have wings can do for a socity like this."
• Duke: "Yeah, I, kinda have a question..... Why do these people center a religen based on Friendship?"
• Trixie: "They would ask the same thing about Zootopia always being about political correctness to some extent."
• Spongebob: "But to answer your question seriously, well, let's just say like how it was because of flowers being respondsable for the existence of Zootopia, Friendship is pretty much respondsable for Equestia's civilisation."
• Duke: "No kiddin'?"
• Sandy: "Oh it's quite a long and fascinating story. You see...."

Flashback...

• (Sandy): Long ago, the three tribes hated each other since an ancient war that destroyed the Alicorn Gods that keep the laws of nature in check, leaving much as the last. As a result, ponies lost their mark on peace and began to care about nothing but their own welfare. However, all this hated attracted nasty cold-hearted varmints, no pun intended, called Windigoes, creatures that fed off of distrust and negativity, and fueled bone-chilling cold that froze everything around them. When ponies began to discover what their negativity was doing to them, that was when they decided to treat each other better and put an end to the Windigo Ice Age. Thus, Equestria was founded, and friendship has pretty much evolved from that.

Present

• Duke:... So... They have this friendship philosophy... All because of these spirits that freeze anything through hatred and only liking eachother can stop them? What is that, some kind of childish moral? That's a pretty piss poor and contrived excuse to-
• Icky: Believe me, dude, it doesn't make any sense to us either. By all realistic accounts, the problem should've been just as easily fixed with like, a holy relic or something that unites them togather anyway. But it's true either way. The thing is, Equestrian ponies are among the purest beings in the UUniverses. They can never truly be corrupted even with the strongest of curses. Their hearts are just TOO strongly pure to make them completely evil with no possible hope of redemption. No matter how evil, there is ALWAYS hope for them to change.
• Gazelle:... Never thought a being can be pure enough to resist pure corruption.
• Merlin: It depends upon the kind of God that created them. The Alicorn Gods were said to come from the purest of light in the UUniverses, born for the sole purpose of spreading purity and living in pure harmony, thus all they control or create is pure. The closest exception is Sombra, though the proven fictional comic "Seige of the Christail Empire" said that it is possable, it's just that, the only one capable of doing that is Radient Hope, but, sadly, again, most of everything assusiated with the comic is rendered to be a proven myth in light of too many inconsistencies with continituy so, we're pretty much stuck with him.
• Gazelle: "I can't imagine anyone or anything wanting to hurt this place."
• Icky: "Yeah, being the purest and almost incorruptable beings in the universes tends to attract dick cheeses that want to prove that throey wrong or just wants them out of their way for the sake of having everything as dark and shitty as possable."
• Squidward: "It's why, outside of the producer being a brony, we often have to come to the defence of this place because of that. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if we had to once again, contend with another problem and-"
• Icky: AAAND karma comes in 3, 2, 1...
• Rainbow Dash: (The Mane Six, Spike, and Ember arrived) Guys, please tell me you noticed something is wrong in the Dragon Lands!
• Kowalski:... Let me guess! It involves that Gauntlet of Fire episode, and Nefarious was hoping to use the Gauntlet of Fire itself to raise an army of dragons to conquer this place?
• Ember:... Yeah... And Garble's friends renounced membership with Nefarious, and Nefarious corrupted my father to usurp me, had me banished, and is trying to make sure his plan to raise an army of Equestrian dragons does not go in complete failure.
• Spike: Plus, big surprise, Garble and Vex were assistants of Sunset and Starlight.
• Max:... You mean a dragon that hates ponies... WAS RAISED AMONG THEM?!?
• March Hare: That makes no sense at all. And I'm nonsensical enough as it is.
• Mushu: (Shrugs) PLEASE tell me it wasn't a past action of Pred!
• Fluttershy: Don't worry, we already ruled out that it wasn't him.
• Ember: We dragons are easy to piss off, so SOMETHING had to happen for that to turn those two against you ponies.
• Shifu: Clearly Nefarious is not willing to let his dragon allies get taken away from him. He must be taking over to force Garble's friends to either restore their loyalties or to stay silent about Garble's past.
• Squidward: But he made ONE fatal mistake! And that's banishing a dragon that he should've imprisoned if he wanted information to be secured.
• Ember: We ruled out it was either because their corrupted Dragon Usurper is my father and doesn't wanna risk me being hurt in some way to undo his control, or that he wanted to give a middle finger to everyone involved for messing with his dragon allies' loyalties.
• Squidward: It still proves regardless that Nefarious will NEVER be as successful as the Villain League.
• Spyro: And we're still going to stop him either way.
• Starlight: "And get Garble and Vex back."
• The Lougers got nervious by that remark.
• Icky: "Tch, ahhhh. Yeah, see....... Here's the problem with that. This is obviously a simular senairo with when Tai Lung was gonna quit the leage in faver of his sister when Peng and his gal joined in. What happened here was a case of Ember tampering with the personal issues of villain team polotics and got in trouble for it. End result is, that you were too quick to welcome those clowns back into socity when they still behaived like henchmen and not true repenters. Trust me, Nefarious is too man-childish to just give up members that don't automaticly hate him for good or if they're too high risk. And sorry, but at best, it's just a case of them being unsure at the moment and you making the mistake of indulging them. Had Nefarious not known about it sooner, I'd say, like 4 days tops, they'll realise that they would've been nothing without Garble and Team Ne-Dork-Ious."
• Ember: "Wait, are you suggesting we just hand them over to them and not let them have a chance to redeem themselves?"
• Iago: "Look, it's not that we're against the idea, it's just that, well, it's Nefarious we're talking about. That robo-dork is VERY desperate to maintain his team numbers as much as possable! Heck, he's OBVIOUSLY doing this cause he's afraid we're just gonna reform those clowns when REALLY we wouldn't do jacksquat otherwise! If we do, he's never gonna give Equestia a break!"
• Rainbow Dash: "Well if that's true, why didn't he ever bother trying to get Bloueblood back?"
• Iago: "We exposed his original plan to betray Blueblood before he both realised that an alicorn god could be useful to him and not worth betraying over the control of one measly world, and that Pred ruined that for him by taking away something that would've made a betrayal possable otherwise. Blueblood is OBVIOUSLY unlikely to forgive something like that, even if it was reconsidered. Cause nothing makes you less likely to trust a villain, then even the THOUGHT of being stabbed in the back in the end!"
• Ember: "Well, how do you know Spear, Clump, Fizzle, Baff and Vex don't really want to actselly repent and change their ways?!"
• Crane: "Because they do their little "Leave Team Nefarious" episodes all the darn time and end up causing more trouble then their worth! For exsample, the one time they left Team Nefarious to become Superiors."

Flashback

• Kratos was invaded by Nefarious Troopers and Hornets.
• Clump, Spear, Fizzle, Baff and Vex stood by the street.
• Clump: ".... Well, we fucked up."

Present

• Icky: "And the time they said they were gonna quit the team to live with The Alternate Universeals."

Flashback

• The Grand Council were held at gun point by Hornets along side The 5.
• Warson: "..... I'm afraid we'll have to reconsider your residentcy, boys. It's obvious your former boss doesn't appresiate desertion."
• Spear: "Figures."

Present

• Lord Shen: "AND DON'T, GET ME STARTED ON THE MISTAKE KAIRI MADE IN SECRET WITHOUT OUR KNOWING IN TRYING TO REFORM THOSE CLOWNS HERSELF!?"

Flashback

• Kairi was seen in a robotic wedding with Nefarious.
• The 5 Dragon Teens were seen.
• Clump: "..... Maybe for Kairi's sake, we would be better off if we stop trying to leave Team Nefarious until it gets dispaned."
• Spear: "Ditto."
• Fizzle: "Yup."
• Baff: "Good idea."
• Vex: "Mmm-hmm."
• Kairi: "Yeah maybe that's for the best."

Present

• Kairi: "I already learned my lesson on that Shen! You can't blame me for having a good heart for those guys!"
• Lord Shen: "Well it would be for the best we HOLD OFF on those plans until we can for SURE, disban Team Nefarious and make sure it doesn't stupidly get rebanded thanks to Nefarious' dumb luck! Until then, Miss Ember, you're better off orcistraighting those idiots AND Garble until the celebrated day Team Nefarious can be finally kept down for good!"
• Ember: "But, I can't just let Nefarious have them! It wouldn't be right!"
• Sandy: "You keep those fellas around, then Nefarious might never leave the dragon lands, let alone Equestia, alone! He'll just keep coming back with crazy plan after crazy plan until those guys desided it would be for the best to give themselves back to Team Nefarious anyway, just so YOU wouldn't have to deal with that dome-head anymore!"
• Ember: "But-"
• Shifu: "We know this not what you wanted to hear. It's not that Garble and friends aren't reformable, it's just that doing so prematurely without making sure Nefarious is kept secure in Prison 42 is just going to risk making him almost Junjie extreme until he gets them back! It's for the best we at least stop him from causing more harm in all this."
• Rarity: "I'm afraid they're ghastly serious about this, Ember. I know it wouldn't be very fair to them, but it wouldn't be fair for the wild dragons to become Nefarious' slaves either. And I hate to imagine him keeping your father around. You have any idea what a madman like him could do with someone like Torch? (Shudders). Parish the thought!"
• Spike: "I hate to say it, Ember, but..... Nefarious is just gonna get worse if we take Garble and friends away from him without making sure he's stopped for good. Besides, isn't the rest of the wild dragon community more impourent then 6 guys? Nefarious would just continue to be a problem if we keep them in Equestia."
• Ember:... I... I just... This...
• Shrek: Ember, we get it. But Nefarious is more relentless than the Villain League, which is what makes him so fearless. He will not stop until he achieves his goal. That means trying again and again and again until the heroes crack from exhaustion. Nefarious is going to keep at it unless we give him what he wants.
• Ember:... (Sighs) Very well!
• Starlight:... I feel this is wrong, too! They were great friends and companions to me and Sunset.
• Ember: I'm afraid they're right, Starlight. It's clear that Garble and Vex are never going to be free for a long time. They've changed too much to be let go.
• Starlight: I still feel as if we're in a no-win situation here! Garble and Vex don't deserve to be like this!
• Shifu: They're already long gone for the moment. They've moved on too far for you to reach them now. Whatever happened to them to make them this way, it's not going to be cleared out anytime soon. I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter.
• Starlight:... Then I want no part of this mission! If Garble and Vex have made their decisions, who am I to change that? I'm just going to be an obstacle, and Nefarious is not going to like it when he sees me here. He's going to have me killed, or worse.
• Twilight: I think he'd already TRY to have you killed, anyway, Starlight. He sees you as an obstacle that is bound to play a big part in taking away what he wants. If we don't fully satisfy him, he's going to wreak havoc on Equestria. You're coming, and as your mentor, I want no excuses.
• Starlight: Twilight, you're actually more of a friend than a mentor. I know you're trying to help by making me your pupil, but I feel that I am too much of a danger to be on this very mission.
• Twilight: Well, doing nothing is not going to make a difference. Before you know it, there could be Hornets storming the castle with the command to hunt you down. With us being preoccupied, we'd never reach you in time. You're coming because you NEED to be protected.
• Iago:... She has a fair point, Starry.
• Thundera: Si, mi amigo. Nefarious will be gunning for you because he thinks we're going to be taking valuable members from him DESPITE those dragons' long history of quitting. You'll need protection at all times because if we WERE to leave you here, we'd be too late to save you if Nefarious' forces end up attacking.
• Starlight:... Well... Okay. I guess that's a good point. Alright, I'll go.
• Ember: Good. Now, we need a plan of attack because Nefarious has made the volcano his base of operations. That volcano has all the obstacles necessary for protections. Even in numbers, it'll be hard to get in. Some of us will end up injured, dead, or worse.
• Monkey: Couldn't have said it better myself considering what we saw in that episode, what with you almost drowning. Course, they never established that you Equestrian dragons were semi-aquatic.
• Ember: Yes, but our aquatic adaptations are pretty much like that of a crocodile. We can hold our breath, but not forever. Terrestrial dragons can't do that as long as sea dragons can.
• Spyro:... How long can you hold your breath, specifically?
• Ember: The length increases when you mature. Babies like Spike can only do it as long as a human. Teens can do it for approximately 2 hours. Dragons as big as my dad can do it for 5 hours. Sea dragons can remain underwater for days.
• Spyro:... Well, in MY world, we dragons are amphibious. Our wings can practically be used like flippers when you learn to use them like a gannet. Tails can be used as rudders, though to a certain extent, and our legs are good enough for providing movement.
• Ember: Right. Anyway, point is, we'll still need a game plan.
• Duke: "And a DAMN good one since Bellwether's still with them! She's a smart little wool factory, that Dawn! If she was able to mastermind the Night Howler Conspiracy, she can pull off an impentatrentable fortess, (snaps his fingers), just like that!"
• Icky: "Simple! We'll just call in the Dragon Riders and have them battle Torch and use the big lug's size against the place!"
• Duke: "Bellwether would counter that by having those robots dispatch them quickly!"
• Spyro: Duke has a point there, Ick. Besides, this matter's too urgent to wait for back up. We need to make this work with just us. Nefarious is bound to have dragons or Hornets patrolling the skies, so any allies coming in would be spotted, and the forces will know we're coming.
• Ember:... Then what?
• Iago: "I'm more concerned on how we're even gonna get there, let alone how we're gonna pull this off."
• Spyro: It won't be easy given what we know about that place. But going to the Dragon Kingdom is out of the picture since Bellwether will think to send patrols there waiting for us.
• Sparx: Then where do we go?
• Kowalski: Going underwater might work, but while the Hornets and Nefarious Troopers aren't completely waterproof and could be dispatched easily underwater, we established that dragons here can still hold their breath long enough to catch us hiding, besides the fact that sea dragons could be in their ranks.
• Skipper:... What about that cloaking device we have on the van?
• Kowalski:... I suppose that could work. But we'd need uranium to power it, but WE'VE GOT PLENTY OF THAT S*** IN THE VAN LAB! (Laughs) But regardless, it can't make us invisible forever, so we need to act fast.
• Banzai: Good enough for me, and we're running low on options, so let's give it a try.
• Icky: "Well since we're not bringing in Hiccup and the gang, THEN HOW THE FUCK DO YOU SUGGEST WE BATTLE A GIANT-ASS DRAGON WHO WAS AN EX-LORD OF WILD DRAGONS AND WITH A POWERFUL MAGICAL SPECTOR!? All he would have to do is just smack his tail at us and we'll be more pwned then a group of collage nerds playing dodge ball against a multinational champion team of pro dodgeball players! That guy clearly looks like the ultamate trump card?! Even the most brillient attempt is doomed from the start if that guy gets involved!"
• Spike: "I uh.... Might have a few suggestions....."

Chapter 6: Nefarious-ized Dragon Lands

Meanwhile.

• Armored Dragon Teens and Nefarious' forces are everywhere as a dark looking machine is being buildt.
• Else where, the volcano is seen becoming almost a Nefariousiesd fortress.
• Bellwether and Lawerence were watching this.
• Bellwether: "I can't tell you how amazed I am about this progress."
• Lawrence: Indeed. But with Ember banished, she's bound to get the heroes involved, so we must be on our toes at all times.
• Bellwether: Hopefully, all the obstacles here will be good enough to defend us. Especially Torch, he's the kind of guy who would lash his tail at the van, and blow it up in an instant.
• Lawrence: Quite.
• Bellwether:... So, how has Garble been doing?
• Lawrence: So far, he's still feeling uneasy about this what with us shooting his friends unconscious.
• Scratch: (He and Grounder arrived) And what would locking them up accomplish? Didn't they quit plenty of times?
• Grounder: Yeah, like, remember Kratos, the Alternate UUniverses, AND the Kairi incident?
• Lawrence:... Oh, dear, you are correct. Perhaps the Lodgers are not willing to reform Garble and his friends after all. But we should still do this because Nefarious is a little picky. He'd say that he wanted the whole Gauntlet of Fire plan to go successfully, and wanted to take the command by force. Even if we brought up his own persistence in defending members' loyalties, he'd still come up with a good excuse to attack this place.
• Bellwether:... Fair point. This is just another incident with those dragons' attempts to leave backfiring. Although, I should recimend you take him to see someone about those kind of issues. Thiese sort've things are not healthy for a stable villain team, let alone any group.
• Lawerence: "We know this really good villain psyciatirst in Muggshotra, he's really professional."
• Bellwether: "Good. In the meantime, I'll go check on the diamond dogs and see how production of the "Toughenator" is doing. Lawerence, check up on Torch."
• Lawerence: "I am already intending on doing that."
• Bellwether: Great. The last thing we need out of an eventual hero attack is the progress on the device being halted. We need it in order to keep Garble from easily turning over.
• Lawrence: Indeed.
• The two split.

Torch's area.

• Torch sat on his outside thrown relaxing as he's being massaged by some dragon teens.
• Torch: "Ahhhh.... I missed this sort've thing."
• Lawrence: Lord Torch? How are you doing in here?
• Torch: Great. Your boss really outdone himself. Speaking of which, when is he gonna get here?
• Lawrence: Any moment. He still advises to take utmost caution because with Ember being banished, it will be INCREDIBLY likely that she'll be back with friends that want to stop this.
• Torch: Bah, they won't get far in their quest. It's heavily fortified, and the obstacles are good enough to quell them.
• Lawrence: It is not a wise thing to underestimate these heroes' strength. They have a reputation of shaming their villain opponents including us, and making them look like jokes. We still must be careful.
• Torch: It's fine, Lawrence. We've got this all under control. How is the Toughenator going by the way?
• Lawrence: Bellwether is currently checking on that.
• Torch: "Well I hope it is going nicely, because I really need to have the wild dragon community toughen up again! There's no telling how badly Ember made them lose their toughness and merciless attatudes."
• Lawerence: ".... It's only been like that since April 16. It's pretty much about two months ago."
• Torch: "I know, but still. Drakesis turned the entire dragon kingdom into wimps in a matter of days! That's why I need the Toughenator as badly as I do!"
• Lawrence: Well, as long as we keep the heroes Ember might be bringing at bay, then the Toughenator will be in good hands....And by good, I mean good in an evil sense.
• Torch: Perfect. I will ensure that no ponies will even THINK about attacking our kind. (Cackles)...WHY ARE YOU NOT CHEERING?!? (Lawrence was unphased)
• Lawrence: I am a robot. I can hardly feel emotions. Plus, I'm not the cheering type. All I can do is agree with you on your statement.
• Torch:...Sounds pretty sad.
• Lawrence: Not really. Again, hardly feel any emotion.

Toughenator Room

• Bellwether: (She enters and sees the main trio with their pack and some dragon teens building up the Toughenator) ALRIGHT, DIAMOND DINGBATS! NEFARIOUS WILL BE HERE SOON, AND HE EXPECTS THIS TOUGHENATOR TO BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A SCRATCH, EVEN FROM THE LODGERS!
• Spot: We're working as fast as we can, lambcho- (Rover slaps him) Uh, I mean, mam!
• Bellwether: Too late, already offended! Just tell me the progress on the Toughenator.
• Fido: The device is, as a smater guy would say it, uh.... (Looks at the numbers on the list) Oh, here it is! 74.56% complete, mam!
• Rover: Plus, this chamber is secured by the best technology Nefarious can offer. Rapid-firing RYNO cannons, stolen from outlawed RYNO technology, lockdown barriers with rechargeable energy shields, and it can only be activated through DNA recognition.
• Bellwether: Good. These Brain Pods and these so called Grubs really outdone themselves.
• Spot: (Cackles) Yeah, these things will DESTROY their sorry asses for messing with our plans. They won't be able to air it on the news because it will be SO GOREY!!!
• Bellwether: First of all, why would the news pick this up? We're pretty much isloated from civilised socity from the looks of this place. Secondly, it wasn't the Lodgers who did it in this case, in fact, it was shown by that "Episode" that it was the ponies and the baby dragon. If you should be mad at anybody, be mad at the ponies and dragon.
• Fido:... Still, these things will waste them like garbage!
• Bellwether: Well, I certainly hope so. From what I saw in Zootopia, I came under the impression that they won't be easy to beat.
• Rover: DAMN RIGHT! But this time, it will be different!
• Bellwether: "Oh, and uh, remember to be cautious around Garble. We have reason to believe that he might not be thinking straight."
• Rover: "We'll buzz ya if Garbo acts out in a way not very helpful to us."

Elsewhere.

• The Pellow Dragon and the Lavander Long-eared Dragon, along with various other dragons seen from the Gauntlet of fire are seen patroling.
• Lavander one: "This really sucks! First we were given a chance to have a way better connection with the ponies under Ember's rule, who's espeically was gonna approve my "greeting burps" idea! Then Torch desides to f*** our tradition in the ass and ignor it!"
• The Pellow Dragon: "Not to mention that Torch won't let me to see those awesome ponies who own a pellow factory!? A, PELLOW FACTORY!?"
• The Green Giant Arm one: "...... Dude, seriously, the f*** is with you and pellows?"
• Giant Teeth one: "He has once said the ground isn't very comfy, so, there's that."
• Aged Dragon: "Bah! I say hog-washers to that! Why, in my day, we wouldn't have to get pellows! Nature was our pellow! It was also our toilet paper!"
• Everyone stops to stare at the aged dragon......
• Orange Dragon: "..... Gramps, why the f*** would you share that?"
• Gramps the aged dragon: "I'm just sharing my personal life. Why, I remember this one time where I accsidently wiped myself with poison ivy and then rubbed my tush onto the skales of a Slingtail! Critter sent me flying without mah wings fer days!"
• The others groaned!
• Gramps: "But that's plumb nothing when I was almost swallowed whole by a sea worm! Darn water spitter wanted a taste of this old war veteran and-"
• Lavander one: "GRAMPS, WOULD YOU SHUT UP FOR FIVE SECONDS!? God?! Why did Ember choose you to be part of the guard?!"
• Bulldog Bodied Dragon: "Because he fought in the Dragon/Slayer Wars, Earritia. Heck, he even survived in the one against the Judu Des clan. That war was BRUTAL!"
• Earrita (Lavander one): "But he's OBVIOUSLY way passed his prime now! He's barely even a threat to himself!"
• Odd-Horned Nose Dragon: "Actselly, if he falls down and can't get up, that could be pretty threatening."
• Earritia: "GRR?! BESIDES THE POINT, YOU MORON?!"
• The Tail-Standing One picks up the irritated Earrita gently.
• Tail-Standing one: "Now, now, Earrita.... We mustn't lose our temper. Looks like someone needs another anichent easten lands chant again."
• Earrita growled in frusttraition, then The Tail-Standing one does a chant simular to Chin Po torwords Yao in mulan, with the others staring awkwordly at this.
• Earrita, speaking some gibberish, calms down....
• Tail-Standing one: "..... Better?"
• Earrita: "...... Yeah.... Thanks a bunch, Chi Sho."
• Earrita gets placed back down.
• Earrita: ".... Ok, I am going to calmy remind everyone here that we're suppose to take this job seriously. Spud, please shut up about the pellow thing! Arm-Mar, don't be a dick about everything. Tooth, don't support Spud like that. Gramps, keep your old war stories and espeically your gross and just plain stupid ones to yourself. Rocker, respect your elders! Bullgon, nobody asked for a history lesson! Noser, nobody asked you! Now, for the sake of maintaining my sanity, we're gonna split into groups! I, will lead team Badass. Spud, will lead team Enemy-Bait."
• Spud the Pellow Dragon: "Why do I have to be team enemy bait?"
• Earrita: "Because I'm stronger you, older by a year then you, Ember made ME captain, AND I'LL STRANGLE YOU WITH YOUR DAMN TAIL IF YOU DON'T!?"
• Spud:...Why else?
• Earrita: NOW, SPUD!!
• Spud: "(Wimpfully)..... Ok."
• Earrita: "Ahem! Ok, Chi Sho, Arm-Mor, Rocker, Bullgon, and Noser are with me! Spud, you get Gramps and Tooth."
• Spud: "Hey no fair! You got most of the really good ones! We have to split them evenly!"
• Earrita: "Ugh.... Fine. Rocker is the least strongest, so, he's with you."
• Spud: "Abit better, but, you have nothing but strong dragons! I mean, Chi does her weird easten fighting stuff, Arm-Mor is a beast with those arms of his, Bullgon assended from pony created war-dragons, and Noser has a nose made of pure steel-like bone!"
• Earrita: "Well nine is a hard-to-even-out number, so be glad I'm not leaving you alone! Team Badass out!"
• Earrita's team leaves with Spud and his group behind.
• Spud: "(Sighs)...... What does Ember see in her? She's not even that strong!"
• Rocker: "Hey, to be fair bro, Earrita came from a rough life. She was always picked on in her dragonling days because of those ears of hers. It, kinda drove her to be aggresive."
• Spud: ".... Ok, that's understandable. But did she had to call us team Enemy-Bait? It's like she assumes we're gonna be the first ones to go down!"
• Tooth: "Well, we can always earn her trust and- (Gasps)!"
• A sign to candy mountain is seen.
• Tooth: "...... MY DREAM CAME TRUE?! CANDY MOUNTAIN IS REAL!?"
• Tooth ran fast!
• Spud: "What the, TOOTH!? GET BACK HERE?!"
• Spud, Rocker, and the slow moving Gramps followed suit.
• Tooth arrived to what looks like a mountain made of candy.
• The trio came in!
• Spud: ".... What the hell is this?"
• Gramps: "I done don't like it. It smells like a trap for black market ponies to steal our kidneys."
• Music starts to play as Icky and Iago appeared as barbershop singers.
• Spud: "What the fu-"

Icky and Iago sang this!

Candy Mountain (Cover) Excerpt from Brawny the Unicorn

• Tooth: "YAY!? CANDY MOUNTAIN!?"
• Spud: "TOOTH WAIT!? There's a spontanious mountain that no one has EVER seen before, with two silly-looking birds that clearly don't look like they belong here! Doesn't that seem a little be suspicious?"
• Tooth: "..... CANDY MOUNTAIN!?"
• Tooth runs into the cave of the "Mountain", as suddenly, fighting sounds are heard!
• Spud: "TOOTH?!"
• Gramps: "IT'S AN AMBUSH!? NO ONE LIVES FOREVER MEN?! CHARGE!?"
• Rocker: "YOLO!?"
• Gramps and Rocker charged in as well!
• Spud: "GUYS NO?!"
• Gramps and Rocker charged in as fighting sounds are heard!
• Spud started to panic!
• Spud: "Uh, I, I..... EARRITA-HAHAHAHAHAHA!?"
• Spud ran away crying like a baby!
• Suddenly, he bumped into B.O.B.
• B.O.B.: "..... Hi there."
• Spud: "(Squiels like a girl!) BLUE SLIMER!? I THOUGHT THEY WERE ALL BANISHED TO THE DARKEST PARTS OF TARTARUS EVER SINCE THE FEAR WARS!?"
• B.O.B:... Wait, there's another kind of slime creature here besides the Smooze?
• Missing Link: B.O.B!
• B.O.B: Oh, right! (Traps Spud inside him as he muffles in panic)

Later...

• Spud: (The four were tied up and trapped in the van as they were investigated by the Lodgers) LET US GO!!
• Lord Shen: I'm afraid we can't do that! Not until you give us information on how to break into Nefarious' fortress!
• Gramps: YOU'LL NEVER MAKE US TALK!! WE CAN TAKE ANYTHING YOU INFLICT UPON US!!
• Spud: Gramps, seriously, not helping!
• Lord Shen: ENOUGH OF THIS NONSENSE!! We brought you here, and you will do as I say!
• Spud: We can't! Torch would have us... Well... Torched.
• Rico: Hmmph! (Takes out a torture device) Blaaahhhhyah!
• Skipper: Rico, what did I say about torture? Heroes don't do that!
• Rico: Awww!
• Skipper: Instead, we have a NON-lethal method of that. Bring out... The Barney video tape. (The dragons' eyes shrank at that)
• Rico: (Blabbers excitedly as they got out the TV, and played the video tape as a familiar theme song played)
• Spud: No!... NO!... NOOOOOOOO!!!
• Rocker: TOO CHILDISH!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT ALREADY!!!
• Rainbow Dash: Had enough yet?
• Spud: NEVER!
• Rainbow Dash: Well, I hope you can tolerate the whole thing. As dragons with attitudes, I'm TOTALLY sure you can do that.
• Gramps: WE WILL NEVER TELL YOU ANYTHING!! WE CAN HANDLE THIS TORTURE!!!

6 minutes later...

• Spud: (The dragons were actually crying)
• ???: Time to sing the 'I Love You' song!
• Spud: (Dubbed as Nostalgia Critic) NooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! NO, NO, NO, NO, DO SOMETHING ELSE!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT WRETCHED UNHOLY SONG!!!
• Spike:... I don't know if I should feel sorry for them.
• Lord Shen: Don't! They'll crack eventually.
• Spud: ALRIGHT, WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TAKE DOWN THE DAMN PLACE!!!
• Tooth: TORCH SAID IT WAS FOR SECURITY REASONS, SO HE ONLY SHARES THAT INFORMATION WITH THE SPACE ALIENS!!! THE MEAN SHEEP LADY TOLD HIM SO!?
• Spud: YOU THINK WE WANT TO SERVE HIM ANYWAY?!? WE'VE JUST BEEN ENSLAVED!!! SO PLEASE DON'T LET US HAVE THAT HORRIBLE BARNEY SONG TRAPPED IN OUR HEADS!!! (Cries)
• Lord Shen: THAT'S more like it! Not good enough info, but it's better than nothing. (Turns off the tape) Now you lot are lucky we didn't desided to use one of the ealier MLP generations, then THAT would've been over-kill.
• Spike:... Wait, aren't you guys some of the dragons that competed in the Gauntlet? (Looks at Spud) And aren't you that one dragon that wanted to become dragon lord because you wanted to take pillows from ponies?
• Monkey and Mantis snickered at this.
• Spud: Yeah, of course. And you must be the baby dragon who helped Ember get her position.
• Tooth: HE'S SO CUTE!!!
• Icky: "Yeah, but it kinda sucks Bellwether told Torch to not have idiots know something about impourent places and weaknesses. Kinda makes nabbing these clowns pointless."
• Spike: "Not exactly. Maybe they're helpful in another way. Spud, do you know where the greeting burp dragon is?"
• Spud: "You mean Earrita? She took the stronger elite dragons and named her group "Team Badass" while I got stuck with Gramps, an aged old war veteran who lost most of his self awareness (Gramps was heard snoring), Tooth, who's.... Easily convincable. And Rocker, who's fast, but.... Not what you would call a durable dragon. And there's little ol' me, Spud, the, as folks had called, pellow obcessed dragon who doesn't like sleeping on the floor. We were called "Team Enemy-Bait"."
• Missing Link: "Hey, for what it's worth, at least in this situation, it kinda fits."
• Spud: "Well, I kinda don't want to expose where Earrita is for 3 reasons: One, she's argueabily my friend, so it wouldn't be cool of me to rat out on her. Two, she didn't tell me where she and the others are going, so, I got nothing. Three, I'm doing you guys a favor. Earrita is the daughter of two famous warrior dragons and has a NASTY temper! She also has Arm-Mor, that dude can turn mountains into pebbles with those arms, Bullgon is asended from anichent pony-created war dragons, Noser has a skeliton and skull made of really strong metals thanks to being subugated by a pony company called "Genesis" giving him some kind of freaky treatment, and Chi Sho, well, she has this weird fighting sytile from the easten lands. She, kinda fights like some of those aliens."
• Tigress: "This Chi Sho knows kung fu?"
• Twilight: "Well, yes and no. Only a simular sytile called "Fighting Arts". The Easten Lands are basicly part of Equestia's own verson of China. Chi Sho must've been taught under a master there."
• Spike: "Then what was she doing being among wild dragons?"
• Spud: "She said something about her master asking her to "Bring Enlightentment and peace to a community ruled by a brutish idiot". I guess she wanted to be dragon lord to do just that. But I guess Ember taking the job gave her a chance to do it reguardless through her."
• Po: "Oh yeah, we SO can't risk those guys being a use to Nefarious!"
• Spike: "And I know how to lead them here."

Elsewhere.

• Earrita and her posse looked everywhere for Spud's group!
• Earrita: "Damn it Spud, will you show your face already!?"
• Arm-Mor: "..... Yo, Ear. Ya don't suppose, (laughs abit), those chuckle-heads ended up living up to their names and ended up becoming enemy-bait, did ya?"
• Earrita got nervious by that.
• Earrita: ".... Don't, don't be rediculious. I only called them that to tease Spud. I never actselly meant for them to be captured."
• Chi was seen exsamining the ground.
• Chi Sho: "I sensed that their presence were originally present somewhere over there, but then they were ambush by a trap of shorce. And judging by this stray wayword Lollypop, (Picks up a stray lollypop from the Candy Mountain trap), It was clearly through Tooth's, sweettooth."
• Bullgon: "Well, in that case, it might be a good idea to warn Torch and-"
• Earrita: "No!? If we do that, then WE'LL be punsihed for incompidence!? We, we have to save them ourselves!"
• Noser: "But didn't the sheep said-"
• Earrita: "F*** what the sheep said?! I'm the one in charged of this group, and what I say goes! Arm-Mor, Noser, Bullgon, your team beta, search the south area, Chi, your with me in team Alpha, we'll search north!"
• Chi Sho: "Would it not be more suitable to stay closer to eachother?"
• Earrita: "We'll cover more ground if we split up! Besides, obviously unlike Spud, we can handle ourselves! Team, move out!"
• The group did that.

Team Beta's location.

• Noser: "..... Did anyone else saw how Ear reacted when Chi said that Spud may be captured?"
• Arm-Mor: "(Laughs). Oh yeah. That TOTALLY sounds like Earrita has the hots for Spud of all people!"
• Bullgon: "Yup. The total disreguard to commen sense saids it all. Fortunately, we're smart enough to stick togather, right boys?"
• Arm-Mor: "Bathroom breaks are exceptions right? Cause I would not do well having you two watching me."
• Noser: "...... Uh, Arm? Why ARE you standing on your large arms and not on your back legs?"
• Arm-Mor: WHY DO YOU THINK I DO THAT?!? I'm a victim of a mutation! You KNOW I'm sensitive about that!
• Noser: Hey, it's nothing personal, I was just asking a simple question.
• Bullgon: Best not to ask anyway, Nosey. Now let's just get back to the mission, and HOPE we don't get captured like a bunch of pansies.
• Arm-Mor: Yeah, we ain't pansies! We're DRAGONS! We aren't bred to be pansies!
• Noser: Yeah, we aren't even flowers!
• Bullgon: Not exactly what my point was. Now, we should remain as quiet as possible. Who knows what surprises could be-
• Pinkie appeared from nowhere in front of them!
• Pinkie: "SURPRISE?! (CONFETTI AND SILLY SOUNDS!)"
• The trio: "WHA!?"
• Pinkie: "HI! I'M PINKIE PIE, AND I'M THROWING A PARTY JUST FOR YOU! BUT YOU HAVE TO CATCH ME FIRST!?"
• Pinkie zoomed off!
• Arm-Mor: "Aw, nuts! Something tells me Spud and the others, unsurprisingly, DID get captured if that pink jester's here!? Grab her for answers!?"
• The trio chase her around as comedic senarios are seen during the mlp-ish benny hill theme.

My Little Pony Friendship is Magic - Benny Hill Chase (Background Music)

• After song, the trio seemed to have finally cornered Pinkie.
• Arm-Mor: "Ok, pony! You're gonna tell us everything you know! Are there others like you?"
• Pinkie: "That's easy. Just look behind you."
• Arm-Mor: "Look behind us, why is that suppose to mean any- (Suddenly, they were knocked out cold by the Penguins) OOOOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO! (They fell unconscious)"
• Skipper: Mission accomplished! We've recovered more witnesses.
• Rico: BARNEY TORTURE, BARNEY TORTURE, BARNEY TORTURE!!!
• Bullgon: BARNEY?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
• Skipper: Rico, easy on the rush of moral torture.
• Kowalski: Besides, we have nothing to ask of them yet. They're sure to be as clueless as the others about taking down Nefarious.
• Rico: Awww!
• Skipper: Nice stalling, Pinkster.
• Alex: I'm sure the others will have found the other group by now, so let's get these guys back to the van.
• Rico: BARNEY TORTURE, BARNEY TORTURE! (Cackles wildly)
• Skipper: (Sighs)

Else where.

• Earrita and Chi are seen strolling across the area.
• Chi Sho: "...... You should know that your true feelings torwords Spud are not un-noticed by us."
• Earrita: "Duh, what do you mean, Chi?"
• Chi Sho: "For starters, out of all of the males, you seem to mess with him the most."
• Earrita: "That's because I like to tease him! He's infamous in the dragon community for his darn pillow obcessions!"
• Chi Sho: "Oh sure, it's not because you secretly sympathese with him for being orastraighted for being what he is? Like on how you used to be treated poorly for your ears until you defelupted an infamous attatude."
• Earrita: "Seriously, Chi, I more see Spud like a little brother then a mate! I don't sympayhise with him for being picked on for something he can't really help, or how he came from a miserable life of being orphaned and barely could've survived on his own! He was BEYOND, lucky, I saved his ass from being hunted down by The Myth Killers. Though in all honesty, I was more saving the myth killers from a waste of their time."
• Chi Sho: "Your pride may say otherwise, but your heart sings a different story."
• Earrita: "Chi, hearts don't make anything other then thumps and beats."
• Chi Sho: "I mean, your true feelings are very greatly in contrast of what you make yourself to be and your afraid of showing a softer you because of being reputated as a fierce warrior."
• Earrita: "Ok, can you cut it out with that easten lands wistom stuff and focus on our patrol?"
• Chi Sho: ".... I, understand your not comfertable talking about it. Very well. I'll continue it when you are interested in it."
• Earrita: "..... (Abit Quietly) Thanks for the talk though, I, did sort've needed it."
• Suddenly, puffs of smoke appeared!
• Earrita: "WHOA!?"
• As the smoke faded, the Furious Five are reveiled.....
• Earrita: ".... Aw, shit. Those are some of the aliens!"
• Chi Sho: "Not just any. But their martical arts devision. You are best to let me handle them. (Enters a fighting stance). This is a fight worthy of a master of the fighting arts."
• Earrita: "...... Glad I can relie on you Chi. But don't be afraid to ask for my help if it gets hecktic."
• Chi Sho: "Thanks for the offer, but.... I anpisipate that this fight shouldn't be able to be so problematic."
• Chi leaped up and triple flipped down and formed an attack position torword's the five!
• The Five dodged as Chi landed epicly, causing a small earth-quake!
• The Five and Chi Sho entered a fighting pose stand-off!
• Chi Sho: "..... Fair to warn you all.... I'm stronger then what I appear to be."
• Chi Sho started to do abunch of poses and summons forth chi-like powers.
• Mantis: "Heads up, chi master!"
• Chi Sho: (Blasts a wave of energy at them as they were able to dodge)
• Mantis: And a DIFFERENT kind of chi master than that of our worlds.
• Chi Sho: (She flies like a Chinese dragon and attacks them as they dodged, and Shifu was able to grab her by the horns and pin her down) OOF!
• Shifu: You may be strong, but we've dealt with other Chi masters before, regardless of what kind of level chi can go in certain worlds.
• Chi Sho: (Shines chi on him and blasts him to a tree)... Well, let's see how you deal with EVERYTHING I have! (Powers up her chi, and is able to handle attack after attack)
• Po: PANDA POTHOOOOOLLLEE!! (Jumps towards Chi, but she tried to blast Po, but Po quickly used a protactive chi tecnic that balenced out the attack and ended with Chi Sho being butt-slamed!) 
• Chi Sho: URRGGHH! GET OFF ME, YOU BIG FATTY!!!
• Po: Quit struggling. Don't make me fart.
• Chi Sho: OH, GOOD LORD NO!! (Bites him in the tail as a glass shatter occurred around Po's eye as he got off screaming in pain)
• Po: OW!!! THAT HURT!!
• Chi Sho: Yeah? This will hurt even more! (Tries to charge a chi blast until the Furious Five flanked her on all sides, and eventually overwhelmed her and piled up on her)
• Earrita: CHI, NO!
• ???: Hey, big-ears! (Shrek appears and sticks out his butt)
• Earrita: What the- (POOOOOOOOTTTT!!) (Everyone coughed and vomits were heard) OH GOD, IT PUTS MY UNCLE'S TERRORABLE SULFER BREATH TO SHAME?! AND THAT'S HARDLY EVER ATTHIVED?! (Faints).
• Donkey: SHREK, DID YOU ACCOUNT FOR YOUR OWN ALLIES BEING AFFECTED BY THAT DAMN STUFF?!?
• Shrek: Hey, at least the dragons got knocked out cold. Now let us get them to the van, the others are sure to have captured the other dragon team.
• Boss Wolf: We will do that... RIGHT AFTER RECOVERING FROM THAT STINK BOMB WE CALL YOUR ASS!! (Barfs)

Back at the Lodger Van

• Earrita and Chi came through as they discovered to have been captured and tied up with the others.
• Arm-Mor: "..... You didn't really lasted very long either, did ya?"
• Rocker: "P.U.!? You smell like you were farted on by an Orge?!"
• Chi Sho: "Would you believe the misfortune of that being accreate?"
• Gramps: "That's nothing compaired to when I had a bad encounter with a skunk dragon AND the Ever-Stinky Trash Beetles! Close second though."
• Earrita: "..... What kind of miserable elite guards are we, being defeated by predictable traps, and FARTS?!"
• Arm-Mor: "In my case with Bullgon and Noser, we got distracted by the pink pony in a chase and ended up getting surprise-pwned by penguins."
• Spud: "To be fair, this could've possability be avoided if we stuck togather to begin with, captain!"
• Earrita: "Spud, don't you freaking dare rub it in!?"
• Bullgon: "It's actselly not the only case of bad planning. You also failed to report an obvious sign of these aliens' preasence."
• Noser: "And all because you were worried about your crush Spud."
• Earrita: "I DO NOT, HAVE A CRUSH ON SPUD?! (Blushes wildly)!"
• Arm-Mor: "..... Then I think your change in skin pigment is kinda betraying you in that reguard."
• Spud: "Wait, guys, what're you all talking about? Doesn't Earrita hate me?"
• Rocker: "Dude, we're gonna be honest with you. Earrita, is actselly-"
• ???: "AHEM?!"
• Ember was seen before the lot.
• Earrita: "(Nerviously gulps).... Miss Ember..... It's, nice to see that banishment means nothing to you. Look, if it means anything, in terms of preventing hard feelings in hopes of NOT getting killed, we don't AT ALL support what Torch and those C-List assholes want to do with us! We're just being obedient out of fear of Torch! You of all people know how powerful your dad is! Even WITHOUT the spector, he's not a guy you want to piss off!"
• Ember: Well, we only captured you because you're the only ones that can help me in stopping Nefarious and regain my position.
• Spud: HELP YOU?!? And get our asses torched? I don't think so!
• Rico: BARNEY TORTURE?
• Skipper: No! They're going to be double agents WITHOUT us forcing them to be so.
• Chi: Double agents? What are you talking about? Even those space fools won't let us anywhere near what they are working on.
• Ember: And what exactly ARE they working on?
• Bullgon: What makes you think we'll tell you so easily?
• Rico: BARNEY!
• Bullgon: A MACHINE CALLED THE TOUGHENATOR THAT AIMS TO TOUGHEN UP DRAGONS!!!
• Earrita: My GOD, Bullgon, what is so bad about a toddler's show? All you have to do is give adult commentary and you'll tolerate it enough. It's what I'd do.
• Lord Shen: What if we showed you ALL of the Barney videos? As much as it PAINS us, we purchased all of them from tolerable to worse. It may be silly, but it's better than those violent methods of torture. In fact, any other toddler's show will do well enough, but people say Barney is-
• Earrita: SHUT THE F*** UP!!! EVEN IF THE CAT IS OUT OF THE BAG, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WE WILL COMMIT AN ACT OF SUICIDE BY HELPING YOU BEAT A USURPER?!? YOU CAN'T MAKE US HELP YOU, EVEN WITH THOSE CHILDISH TORTURE METHODS!!!
• Icky: "Ok, listen here, Big Ears-"
• Earrita: "DON'T CALL ME THAT!?"
• Icky: "I can freaking call you whatever I want, big ears! People like you being too scared of a supposed retired lord isn't worth to be treated with decenty! Your letting him and a bunch of C-Listers step all over you! Your like stairs!?"
• Earrita: "ARE YOU CALLING ME A COWERD!?"
• Icky: "If the shoe fits!?"
• Earrita: "GRRRRR?!"
• Icky: "Lady, you were made a guard by a rightful ruler! Ember! Plus, you just freaken admited that you have NO love for her dad and those Team Nefarious clowns! So why stay obedient to people you hate in against someone you legitamently care about?"
• Earrita: "Because Torch would-"
• Icky: "There you go again, being afraid of the wrath of the same guy who has the mental capisty of your typical idiotic brute."
• Earrita: "But-"
• Icky: "BUT NOTHING!? If you let him and those Ne-Dorks get away with this, "Toughenator", which is most likely a corruption machine of a sort, alot of wild dragons are gonna be turn into puppets of Nefarious, AND THAT CAN RISK A WAR BETWEEN PONIES AND DRAGONS?! And that'll make Ponies have valuement in Slayers again! That would mean that Slayer groups will be enlisted to destroy many Mythic Being communities! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!"
• Earrita: "..... N..... N..... No?"
• Icky: THEN WHY THE F****** HELL ARE YOU GONNA JUST- (Gilda stops him)
• Gilda: Ickster, PLEASE, I think she's about to crack. Talk softly.
• Icky: Why? She's a guard acting like a coward!
• Earrita: IT'S NOT MY FAULT, OKAY?!? I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AFRAID OF TORCH SINCE I WAS A BABY!!! I was born during his rule, and ever since I was traumatized by his loud voice at such a young age, HE WAS THE ONLY THING I WAS SCARED OF!! He's my only AND worst fear!
• Ember:... Earrita... I had no idea.
• Icky:... WOW, NOW I JUST FEEL LIKE A JERKASS!!!
• Spud: YOU TOTALLY DID, CHICKEN-BOY! And just for that attitude, you can FORGET having us help you, and you can do it on your own!
• Rainbow Dash: Oh, nice going, Icky-butt! You gave them good reason to not join us!
• Icky: DON'T RUB IT IN, GAY PRIDE PARADE!!!
• Rainbow Dash: WHY YOU LITTLE?!? (The two tried to attack until Shifu was able to grapple them into a death lock) YAAH!
• Icky: YAAH!
• Shifu: That is enough! Let's just let Ember deal with this, because we are OBVIOUSLY not going to go anywhere with them!
• Ember: ".... Look.... Earrita.... As rude as that birdbrain was.... He does have a good point. My dad is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He's strong, big and loud, sure, but intelligent? Not, a, chance. Why else do you think he basicly lost to Drakesis in trying to become ruler of all dragons in Dragonmainia?"
• Earrita: "How would you know that?"
• Ember: "I'm his daughter, duh! But to be on a serious note, here's an exsample. When he told Garble off about trying to expose me. If he wanted to kill Garble, he wouldn't bother with just talking down to him and just wasted him. All he did was just yelled and humiliated that lunkhead. And for the times he DOES get physical, that's just typical alpha male stuff. Dad may talk big, but it's only his bark being worse then his firy bite."
• Earrita: "BUT HE PRACTICLY EMOTIONALLY WRECKED YOU BY SAYING THAT YOU WERE A MISTAKE TO HAVE CONCHIVED!?"
• Most of everyone gasped to that!
• Ember: "..... Look.... Sometimes, if dad gets enraged enough, or if he THINKS he knows what's best, he, can be alittle, verbal. That, and whatever Garble and those space dorks did to him, must've upped the ante on that. But again. His bark is the only nasty thing about him."
• Arm-Mor: "Then that's one hell of a bark."
• Ember: "My point is, like the bird pointed out, dad is NOT what you would call a smart dragon. He doesn't even know a Slingtail from a Sauran Club."

Flashback.

• Torch was looking at A Slingtail and an Anklasaurus-like creature.
• Torch: "...... WHY CAN'T I GET THESE TWO SLINGTAILS TO MATE?!"

Present.

• Earrita: "..... He really doesn't?"
• Icky: "And no one's questioning the possability that Equestia now is shown to inhabit dinosaur-like critters?"
• Iago: "It was kinda already established with the Parrot-Dactyl thing that Wrath jerk unleashed apawn the Christail Empire along aside a mess of others, I think it was already likely we encountered more of the like."
• Ember: "And that's not even his most stupidest mistake! He mistook the giant statue of the equestian purple dragon, AS ANOTHER DRAGON!?"

Flashback.

• Torch was seen with a giant dinner date with a statue of Lavulite.
• Torch: "So..... What's your sign?"

Present.

• Earrita: ".... Oh he cannot get anymore stupider then that!"
• Ember:... He confused Drakesis' wife for his ex-fiancé.
• Earrita: OH, GOD, THAT IS JUST EMBARRASSING!
• Ember: Yeah, the two look exactly alike. The only difference is the freckles.
• Earrita:... Well, I guess that convinced me enough, he's a total dumbass.
• Ember: Watch it, he's still a good father regardless. With his corruption, he's bound to kill and ask questions later. But don't let THAT scare you. He's still easy to fool.
• Earrita:... I don't know...
• Ember: You'll be fine. Just follow our lead.
• Spud:... I guess we can trust her, Earrita. Has she ever been wrong before?
• Earrita:... I guess not. Okay, we're in.
• Spyro: Well, that's great! We could really use some double agents.
• Cynder: But they're still guards. And there's little chance that Torch or Bellwether will let them anywhere near this 'Toughenator' or any other important area.
• Bullgon: She's right. Torch was always known to be strict. Even WITH the knowledge of his idiocy, he is still menacing in one way or another.
• Sparx: Pfft, we already established that wasn't the case. What worse things did he POSSIBLY do?
• BOOOM!?
• A Mountain was seen totally destroyed by a fire blast.
• Torch's voice: "OH YEAH, I MISSED BEING ABLE TO SHOOT FIRE BALLS THAT DESTROY MOUNTAINS!?"
• Bullgon: "....... That is self explanatory."
• Sparx:... Okay, anyone else think that this is a good idea?
• Shifu: It's still got to be done.
• Arm-Mor: Are you sure we can't go wrong with power like THAT?!?
• Ember: Maybe not, but we gotta try!
• Earrita:... If you say so, then. (Sighs), Everybody got their life insurance policies ready?
• Iago:... You guys have life insurance?
• Ember: When you've got a greedy side, you tend to use gold however you want, and not just for making our nests. Now then, we need a plan.
• Spike: Luckily, my plan is starting to work out fine. Just stick to the plan, and you won't be incinerated by Torch.
• Gramps: I hope you know what you're doing, young dragon.

Chapter 7: Team Nefarious Botched Once Again

Elsewhere.

• A Large Patrol of Nefarious Troopers and Hornets are seen.
• Torch flew by and was seen returning to his throwne area.
• Torch: "Nothing like an exsellent day of blowing stuff up to get adrendalen pumping. LAWREEEEEENNNNCCE!!!"
• Lawrence: (Appeared) Yeesh, and I thought Nefarious' screaming was obnoxious. Right here, sir.
• Torch: Is your big boss here yet?
• Lawrence: ETA here is 10 minutes.
• Torch: And the Toughenator?
• Lawrence: Still in tact and protected. The Diamond Dogs said that it is 89.61% completed. It should be completed within 30 minutes.
• Torch: Excellent! All dragons will be under my control with this device within our grasp. As soon as Nefarious gets here, we shall begin our plan.
• Bellwether: Well, don't get your hopes up, because the Lodgers could be striking any minute. Plus, some of our guards have gone missing.
• Torch: WHAT?!? MISSING?!?
• Bellwether: So there's no doubt the Lodgers are involved. We have to prepare the security for an eventual assault.
• ???: THAT won't be necessary. (Earrita and her friends arrived)
• Earrita: We've actually spotted the Lodgers hanging out on an island across the shores, preparing for their assault.
• Spud: Yeah. Somebody needs to stop, no, scorch them into charcoal!
• Torch: And that somebody is US!! Bellwether, you're in charge until I get back and destroy those meddling rats!
• Bellwether: "Wait a minute there, Torchy...... How would you guys know about what the Lougers are doing?"
• Tooth: "Oh, because-"
• Arm-Mor grabbed Tooth's mouth and firmly grasped it!
• Arm-Nor: "WE, did some tactical prosition around the area and saw that there was a flying van with cool hotrod flames. We, had a safe assumtion it was them cause, come on, since when does Equestian socity produce Hotrod Flamed Flying Vans?"
• Noser: "Though to be fair, they seem to have flying ice cream trucks for some unexplained reason."
• One such landed into a passing Nefarious Trooper, then proceeds to leave quickly.
• Scratch: "(With a megaphone) Please do not land flying ice-cream trucks onto Team Nefarious robots."
• Lawerence: "To be fair, those things could easily be imports from Spongebob's home world, Bikini Bottom. Darn things became quite rampent in other worlds in recent years."
• Bellwether: ".... Well, something doesn't feel right about this. Torch, I'm saying that it might be a bad idea for you to charged after the un-known like you own the place! I recimend we send a patrol onto that island instead."
• Torch: "You sure? I can totally take them on!"
• Lawerence: "Trust us on this Torch, they handled unbelieveable-proporstion-sized creatures and beings before and often always come out on top. I would advise we play it safe and just send out a patrol to investigate."
• Torch: "(Groans). Fine! Send out your little toys then."
• The Team Nefarious group walked off.
• Earrita and the posse looked at eachother.

Meanwhile at a TOTALLY different location.

• Earrita: "I hope you misfits weren't looking forword to send Torch into some kind of trap, because the sheep talked him out of it and instead is just sending a bunch of robots on a wild goose chase on a island you aren't in!"
• Shifu: "Worry not. This is part of the plan.... Granted, it was suppose to be Torch going to the island, but in all fairness, it's obvious Bellwether isn't one to just jump at an oppertunity to strike at her foes personally or allows any powerful assit to automaticly deal with it."
• Icky: "Typical! Another villain that acknowledges the evil overlord list! Something tells me that the Producer wants to challnage us again."
• Spike: "Don't worry guys, I did figure that Bellwether is obviously not gonna be like the rest of Team Nefarious, or Torch! I have work arounds!"
• Earrita: "Well, I hope they're  good, because I doubt those guys would take us seriously again with that island turns out empty."
• Lord Shen: "Worry not, it's part of the plan. Besides, the island won't be ENTIRELY empty. You see, Drakesis originally owed us a huge faver for forgiving him for accusing Celestia of assulting his son awhile back. So, we then finally desided to have that dept answered and he lended us his best fighters for this mission. We have them situated in that island with a replica of our van that I'm still surprised Kolwalski has made so quickly!"
• Kolwalski: "Oh shucks, t'was but a simple field day for me."
• Icky: ".... Ya know, Kolwalski, the series has been alittle inconsisent about your abilities. In some situations, your able to make an awesome invention in minutes, but in others, you have a major meltdown in being asked to make something on borrowed time. Why is that?"
• Kowalski: Usually, it's because of anti-climatic inconsistency, or I'm just like Pinkie Pie where I can just pull a freaking BFG out of my ass.
• Patrick: Oh, cool, you can create movies that aren't even in theaters yet? (Everyone paused at his stupidity)... What?
• Squidward: (Sighs) This is why I think "BFG" isn't a good idea for a movie title. People easily confuse it for the BFG of Doom.
• Patrick:... What does BFG stand for?
• Squidward: Depends, do you want the movie or game?
• Patrick: Both.
• Squidward: Big Friendly Giant and Big F****** Gun.
• Patrick:... (Laughs) They put *dolphin sound* in the name!
• Ember: Can we FOCUS?!?
• Spike: Relax, Ember, I'm sure that trap will work on itself. Right now, let's leave the rest to your friends AND us!
• Rainbow Dash: Uh, (Chuckles), I'm ENTIRELY sure that capturing a simple amount of Troopers and Hornets WILL make a difference in this plan.
• Spud: And here I thought the baby dragon knew what he was doing.
• Spike: I DO KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, PLEASE DON'T PRESSURE ME!!!

The Island

• The Nefarious Troopers and the Hornets arrived on the island and began shearching for the van.
• As such, a group of dragon guards are seen hidden.
• The Robots eventally found the van and were posed to wreck when-
• Flaming Spears impaled each and everyone of them!
• Nefarious Trooper 1: "Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (Dies with a whirr)......"

Mainland.

• Bellwether was tapping her foot impathently!
• Bellwether: "Why are those bots taking so long?!"
• Lawerence: "We, do have to consider the fact that the Lougers surpassed a great number of Hornets and Nefarious Troopers before, so, in hindsight, all we did was send perfectly good bots to the scrapyard."
• Bellwether face-palmed!
• Bellwether: "..... Typical. Just, typical. Well, it doesn't matter in the long run because at least the Toughenator will be completed an-"
• ???: "Uhhhh.... Miss Bellwether?"
• The Diamond Dogs appeared smoked up.
• Rover: "...... There, may have been a slight over-sight......"
• Bellwether: "..... Oversight? OVERSIGHT!? How, just, how bad is it!?"
• Fido: Well, SOMEONE forgot to stabilize the venting system for the device, and the whole thing overheated.
• Bellwether:... You're kidding me, right?

Toughenator Lab

• Bellwether: YOU'RE NOT KIDDING ME?!? (The Toughenator was seen partially melted)
• Rover: So... Yeah, the blasted device is going to have to be delayed as 38.76% of it has been compromised.
• Bellwether: "...... YOU STUPID DOG, THINGS, YOU MADE ME LOOK BAD?!"
• Spot: I SAID SORRY!!!
• Bellwether: NEFARIOUS DOESN'T ACCEPT ANY SORRIES FOR HIS DEVICES BEING COMPROMISED!!! YOU JUST LEFT THE LODGERS MORE TIME TO COME IN HERE AND DESTROY THE REST OF IT!! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?
• Spot: (Sobbing) I was just trying, okay? PLEASE don't make it hard on me!
• Bellwether: Whoa, easy, I'm just warning you that Nefarious is going to be upset when he sees what happened to the device! (They failed to notice that it was actually done by the SpyBug, which flew off before anyone could notice) Was there ANY effort put into the damn machine?!?
• Spot: I swear, mam, I thought it was going well. I thought I checked the venting system-
• Rover: Oh, sob stories are not going to protect us from Nefarious' temper-tantrums!
• Spot: IT'S THE TRUTH!!!
• Bellwether: I don't CARE whose fault it was. I want security on this lab DOUBLED, no, TRIPLED, just enough to make sure those Lodgers don't take care of the rest! I can't believe I left you idiots in charge of a simple task.
• Diamond Dogs: Yes, mam!
• Bellwether: And from now on, I'm bringing the more competent Nefarious Troopers to work on the Toughenator. You two are off the project!
• Spot: "OH WHY IS ROVER PARDONED?!"
• Bellwether: "At least he informed me of this mess."
• Fido: Well, from the looks of what just happened to the machine, it looks pretty fried, and it'll take FOREVER to completely fix it. It's almost as if it was cooked from the inside-out. We may not be able to finish it before the Lodgers arrive.
• Bellwether:... Then I'm afraid you're gonna have to be taken OFF the mission entirely. I can't tolerate idiots in this mission. It's too important to Nefarious to fail.
• Spot: You let Scratch and Grounder in the mission.
• Bellwether: That's because Nefarious wanted them punished for the damage to the Space Station! By the end of this, Nefarious will have SOMEONE's corpses tied to the bumper of the Leviathan II. (The Diamond Dogs shivered in fear and took off)... (Sighs)... This is going to be one of those days.
• Lawerence: "Ya know, Nefarious won't be the only one disappointed with the outcome. Who's gonna tell Torch that the plan may be delayed?"
• Bellwether: "We'll just have to soften him up abit before we flat out tell him. Wow, this is spiraling out of control already."

Elsewhere.

• Fido and Spot are seen walking.
• Spot: "This ain't fair! I know the Toughenator was working fine! Something's CLEARLY is a miss!"
• Fido: "A Misses Who?"
• Spot: "Not a "Ms." as in person, you numnut! Something ain't right here! I just know in the pit of my bones!"
• Fido: "Hmmmm. Bones. Hey, let's go visit that Boneyard Island where the dragons place their dead in and chew on some bones."
• Spot: "Ugh, seriosuly. Something could be potainionally wrong and you think about food?"
• Fido: "Well you said bones, so-"
• Spot: (Squeals in annoyance) I AM SAYING THAT SOMETHING MIGHT'VE CAUSED THIS, AND IT CERTAINLY WASN'T ME! I KNOW, it wasn't me. But what is it?
• Fido: Just let it go, Spot, we're off the mission anyway! (They soon noticed Arm-Mor flying by)...
• Fido: Oh, he's just patrolling the area.
• Spot: Yes, but... He's supposed to be patrolling another area, and not be here.
• Fido: "Should uh, we follow him?"
• Spot: Nah, let's not bother! For all we know, he could've been only heading there for a bathroom break and we would've ended up intruding on him!
• Fido: "Well, we mustn't be impolite and stuff."
• The two went on their way.

Later...

• Kowalski: (They bring the SpyBug back to their location)... Great! We were able to sabotage their Toughenator device with the SpyBug, and let one of the Diamond Dogs take the heat.
• Skipper: Outstanding work, Kowalski! And we couldn't have done it without the knowledge of where to go.
• Earrita: Yes, but it wasn't a complete success. Now the Toughenator is going to gain MORE defenses and FAR MORE competent workers to fix what we wreaked on it.
• Spud:... Where's Arm-Mor? Shouldn't he be back by now after giving us the information from a Nefarious Trooper?
• Chi Sho: You don't think he's in trouble, do you?
• Ember: No, I'm sure he'll be back any moment.
• Lord Shen: Until then, we must remain out of sight, and not do anything that makes us stick out.
• Arm-Mor: (Appeared) WHEW! There you all are! This place is too big for me to remember where I've been.
• Kowalski: And great work for your assistance in getting the information we required to sabotage the Toughenator.
• Alex: Though the BIG catch is that security and maintenance will be increased, which will make it even more challenging for us to finish the job.
• Spud: "Well now what, then?"
• Spike: "This is where you guys come in. Torch is an incredability prideful guy, right?"
• Arm-Mor: "Ugh, like you would not believe!"
• Spike: "Well, make him believe that he doesn't need the Toughenator to make the dragons tough again and that he can do that on his own! That, would strain Team Nefarious' relationship with Torch."
• Earrita: "Ahhh, I get ya, little guy. Get Torch to express his idiot-side. Surprisingly crafty for someone raised by sugery sweet equines."
• Spike: "I dabled."

Torch's Throne Area

• Torch sat there angerly.
• Torch: "Gees, ya think alien tec would be totally without problems! A vent system or whatever went bad and the thing went kaput? Ha! Never trust Diamond Dogs with big fancy machinery I suppose."
• Earrita and the group approuched Torch's face.
• Torch: "What do you lot have to report now? The robots have yet to confirm that they gotten rid of the misfits, and quite frankly, I have my doubts they would ever actselly be a threat to those misfits considering that I am with a bunch of C-Listers after all."
• Spud: "Actselly big guy, we couldn't've help but notice that our great and powerful dragon lord seems to be taking alot of orders from a bunch of tiny aliens, diamond dogs and Garb."
• Torch: "In all fairness, they were the ones who inspired me to return to power, and, insidely speaking, rejuvinated me, so-"
• Spud: "And that's fine, sir, but, now that you gotten all that, you don't need to take orders from a group that's clearly nothing to you! In fact, it is THEY who should listen to you!"
• Torch: "..... Say, I never really thought of that before. You guys got a point there."
• Spud: "In fact, a true dragon lord doesn't need fancy alien tec to make his people tough again! He can do that on his own terms!"
• Torch: "Hey, your right! In fact, I feel my pride insulted having to wait for a bunch of non-dragons doing what I can just as easily do with only by the sound of my voice! You guys convinced me well enough!"
• Torch got up and left the throne.

Toughenator Lab's location..

• Torch approuched it.
• Torch punched through the building and snagged the Toughenator out!
• Torch: "I, the dragon lord, don't need YOU to make MY DRAGONS tough again!?"
• Torch angerly tosses the Toughenator straight into the volcano, as it went it, the volcano spontaniously erupted!
• Torch: "(Laughs), Volcano humor. A stable for any Volcano God. Espeically Lavorious."
• Bellwether and the other of her assigned group came in!
• Bellwether: "TORCH, WHAT THE FUDGE!?"
• Torch: "Well, I made an offitcal plockremation that I don't need your silly alien tec anymore! I can make the dragons tough myself! And another thing..... YOU ALIENS WILL TAKE ORDERS FROM ME NOW?!"
• Rover: "(Quietly) I think the corruption powder has really gotten into his head."
• Grounder: "(Quietly) Helped little by the fact it was from the Villain Leage, who not only hate us, but aren't here to keep the guy in line. Not that it helps us."
• Torch: "Now, aliens, go back to making the entire area invader proof?! I'll go out of my way to make preperations to make dragons tough ON MY OWN TERMS!?"
• Bellwether: "BUT THAT COULD TAKE DECADES TO MAKE THEM TOUGH LIKE THAT WITHOUT THE TOUGHENATOR?!"
• Torch: "Hey, Equestia wasn't founded and made into a large country in a day, sheepy!"
• Torch leaves.
• Bellwether: "..... Oh Nefarious is not gonna make it a good day for us."
• Garble: "I don't get it! I thought he liked the Toughenator! Hell, he even gave the damn thing a name! What happened?!"
• Lawerence: "Obviously the corruption has started to slowly backfire on us. This is why I usually try to advise against using that stuff cause it always ends up going against us in the end. Worsen by the fact that Torch isn't exactly smart and is fully aware that Team Nefarious isn't exactly a force like the leagers for the scourge imperials, and even when the rest of the team arrived, we're no true threat to him, he's a giant dragon!"
• Bellwether: "Ugh, don't worry, we'll just wait for Nefarious to arrive and see we can plan for a way to regulate that corruption so he is still evil yet can co-operate with us. That way, we can later device a replacement for the Toughenator after we put Torch in a more obedient mood."
• Lawerence: "Yes, but be warned that he is gonna throw a bit of a tandrum over this. His anger management classes are still working on him handling failure better."
• Bellwether: Thanks for reminding us!
• Scratch: So... When is our adopted daddy gonna get here?
• Lawrence:... Right about now. (The Leviathan II arrived, and Nefarious teleported in)
• Nefarious: HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, BITCHES!! HOW'S THE PROGRESS ON MY DEAR DRAGON ARMY GOING- WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?!?!? (He saw scorched Toughenator parts all over the area)... WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TOUGHENATOR?!?
• Grounder:... Oh, balls!
• Bellwether: Sir, I can explain everything!
• Nefarious: You'd better!
• Bellwether:... The corruption powder may've forced Torch to demand all the glory for himself.
• Nefarious:... WhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- (He glitches as 'Crusade' by Voltaire was playing)...
• Lawrence:... (Slaps him)
• Nefarious: -AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?
• Bellwether: IT'S NOT OUR FAULT!!
• Grounder: Yeah, blame the Diamond Dogs for screwing the Toughenator up beforehand, and- (Nefarious had a pissed off funny face)...
• Scratch:... Not really helping, Groundy.
• Nefarious:... WHY YOU MISERABLE, STUPID, INCOMPETENT, RETARDED SONS OF BITCHES!!! YOU HAD ONE JOB, AND YOU F***** IT UP IN AN INSTANT?!?
• Lawrence: Sir, calm down-
• Nefarious: (Slaps him down) IT'S BETWEEN ME AND THESE GUYS, LAWRENCE!!!
• Lawrence:... My mistake sir.
• Nefarious: BELLWETHER, I THOUGHT YOU WERE BETTER THAN THIS!!
• Bellwether: I TRIED, SIR!! PLEASE DO NOT GO PAWNING THIS OFF ON ME!! BLAME THE IDIOTS HERE, OR QUITE FRANKLY YOURSELF FOR NOT SEEING THE FLAW IN THE CORRUPTION SERUM!!
• Nefarious:... Okay, fair point. THEN WHAT WERE ARE SAID IDIOTS?!?
• Bellwether: The Diamond Dogs.
• Nefarious:... YOU LEFT THE DIAMOND DOGS IN CHARGE OF THE TOUGHENATOR?!?
• Bellwether: I THOUGHT THEY COULD HANDLE IT!!
• Nefarious: THOSE DUMB MUTTS COULDN'T HANDLE THEIR OWN DIAMOND DIGGING SKILLS, MUCH LESS THE TOUGHENATOR!!! NOW IT'S GONE!!! STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID- (He glitches as the same song from before plays)...
• Lawrence:... I think you all should go. I'll deal with his problems later. You just find a way to handle Torch until we can fix this.
• Bellwether: Right away! We don't wanna be his anger management punch dummies... Or punch dummy robots?
• Lawrence: Punch dummy robots, yes.
• Bellwether: Alright, let's get out of here. (They left)
• Garble: "Ugh, I knew this was gonna suck right away."

Meanwhile...

• Kowalski: Well, it looks like it worked.
• Marty: But it also looks like Nefarious is here.
• Ember: Well, Spike, your plan seems to be going well so far.
• Spike: You learn a thing or two when you're an assistant to an intelligent pony.
• Twilight: Yeah, kinda rub off on him like that. (The dragons returned)
• Noser: Well, we riled up Torch pretty good.
• Earrita: So what's next, little one?
• Spike: Well, with Torch having a strained relationship with Team Nefarious, that means we're free to attack, and free the rest of the enslaved dragons.
• Shifu: Couldn't agree more. Team Nefarious seems at it's weakest now despite the fact that their boss is here.
• Po: (Scoffs) And even then, their boss is still pathetic even with his abilities.
• Spyro: Then it's settled. It's time we began our attack.
• Cynder: Though we still need a plan of attack.
• Spud: "They still have control of the Slingtails and the Sea Worms. I think even if they're at their most disorganised, they still have that the the defences of the Gauntlet's obsicles."
• Twilight: "That's where I came in. (Activates a spell simular to a digimal map and creates a simulation of the Gauntlet Volcano area)."
• This amazed the dragons.
• Noser: "..... And WHY did we used to hate ponies again?"
• Arm-Mor: "Mainly because of their bad eggs like slayer groups and discriminative types. We felt that guys like that sort've flies into their "Purity" claims and yet guys like that existed. We felt that it's, hypocritical at best."
• Rarity: "In all fairness, those ponies have their purity tainted because they most likely had unpleasent exspeariences or heard of such exspeariences from bad dragons. We're basicly making eachother look bad."
• Noser: "..... Fair enough."
• Icky: "Kay Twi-by, what's the plan of attack?"
• Twilight: Okay. A-Team will handle Torch, and we'll need some of the strongest of us to do that. B-Team, which are Earrita's friends, will need to keep Nefarious distracted while we begin out attack. Plus, we've already established that the defenses will be top-notch, so C-Team will take care of them. Team-D will be in charge of surveillance and aerial assistance. The rest will be surrounding the place and attacking on all sides. Now, we need to decide who'll be in each team.
• Spyro: Me, Cynder, Sparx, Insectasaurus, Susan, Devon and Cornwall, and Sam and Max's group will be in the A-Team.
• Sparx: Oh, why me?
• Spyro: Because if I go down, you're going down with me as my companion.
• Sparx: Okay, that's just stupid!
• Twilight: B-Team are the dragons that still have Torch and Nefarious' trust. As for C-Team?
• Skipper: My men, the hippies, Dodger's gang, the snake Lodgers, Razoff, Creeper, Pain and Panic, and Djon will handle that.
• Crane: Those of us that can fly will be in D-Team. Me, Trigger, Nutsy, Batty, Iago, Icky, and the Dactyls will join me.
• Twilight: Then the rest will do the assault. Now, for the battle plan. The assault team will surround the base on all sides waiting for the signal to attack. The first ones to act will be B-Team. They will distract Nefarious, Lawrence and Bellwether long enough to allow A-Team to deal with Torch unnoticed. Then, C-Team will commence on dealing with the security, whatever it may be. D-Team will try and remain out of sight when flying to survey the progress. Once D-Team gives the signal, Assault Team will begin the attack. Once they attack, the other teams will do so from where they are. With all of us overwhelming the forces, we'll be able to handle the rest.
• Ember: Sounds easy enough.
• Icky: "For future reference, what is exactly the success rate of this sueiside mission?"
• Twilight: "Inconclusive at the moment. It all just depends on how everyone plays their part well. But even then, we can't predict the ultamate outcome. So, I have to stress that we have to be on our toes here."
• Sir Hiss: Or anything else needed for movement.
• Twilight: "Oh, right, sorry."
• Bagheera: Well, I suppose this plan should work well enough. Plus, don't have time to come up with another. With Nefarious around, they're sure to step up their A-game.
• Baloo: Then what're we waiting for? Let's kick his robotic nuts!
• Icky: Assuming he has any nuts to begin with.

Later...

• Nefarious: I CANNOT BELIEVE YOUR GUTS, TORCH!!! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE WITH ME!!! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?!?
• Torch: Listen, tin-can, this is MY turf now, and I'M supposed to be YOUR master! Some of my fellow dragons told me enough about you being too out of my tastes!
• Nefarious:... You mean... Your SLAVES told you to turn on me?
• Torch: "Slave" is abit of a strong word. I'm more of a "Mandatory Worker by Force" kind of guy. Other then that, yes.
• Lawrence:... That's strange. Why would they do that?
• Bellwether: No doubt they're against us, trying to make Nefarious look inferior, and try to get us all off of the equation! Or worse, they may be double agents for the Lodgers!
• Nefarious: (Growls) Find those dragons and have them sent to the dungeon! I want them punished for costing us the Toughenator!
• Torch: I give the orders around here now! I forbid anyone from taking orders from him.
• Nefarious: YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!!!
• Torch: (Roars in his face as he screams and hides behind Lawrence) AS I SAID, I GIVE THE ORDERS HERE!! AND YOU WILL FOLLOW MY ADVICE, OR I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH MY PINKY!!
• Bellwether:... Gulp.
• Lawrence: Torch, let's be reasonable.
• Torch: NEVER! MY PLACE, MY RULES! SO I DECREE THAT THOSE DRAGONS ARE NOT TO BE SENT TO THE DUNGEON FOR INSPIRING ME TO DO THIS, AND YOU WILL RESPECT THAT!!
• Nefarious: (Growls angrily) NOW YOU LISTEN HERE, BIG GUY!! I GAVE YOU ALL THIS POWER! I CAN TAKE IT AWAY FROM YOU!! SO I SAY YOU DO WHAT I SAY, OR I WILL HAVE THE PLACE SELF-DETONATED!!
• Torch: Perhaps you didn't hear me! (With loud booming voice) IT, IS, MY, TURF!!!
• Nefarious: AGAIN, I GAVE IT TO YOU! NOW THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! SHIT, OR I BLOW THIS PLACE TO BITS!
• Torch:... Take them to the dungeon! (The dragons surrounded him, and confiscated his self-destruct remote)
• Nefarious: NO! LET ME GO IMMEDIATELY!! LAWRENCE, BELLWETHER, HELP!!
• Lawrence: Sir, they have us, too.
• Nefarious: YOU LET US GO, TORCH, RIGHT NOW!!!
• Torch: Goodbye, Nefarious! And thanks for everything you gave me! (Cackles as the three were thrown into the dungeon right next to Garble's friends)
• Nefarious: DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE US IN THIS CELL, YOU INSOLENT SQUSHIES!!! I WILL ANNIHILATE YOU SO HARD!!
• Lawrence: Sir, give it up! There's no point in reasoning with him. The plan backfired on us.
• Spear: It sure as hell did! Didn't think the possibility of him turning against you all that well, did you?
• Nefarious:... WHY ARE WE NEAR THEM?!? (The dragons ignored them and left) HEY, I AM TALKING TO YOU!! GET YOUR SQUISHIE D**** BACK HERE!!!
• Lawrence: I asked you to let it go, sir!
• Fizzle: Is this your sick sense of revenge, Nefarious? You ruined our great home!
• Nefarious: It's YOUR fault for walking out on us! Besides, we aren't going to be in here for long. My forces will be in here to rescue us in no time.
• Garble: "(Garble comes in) Your out of luck, Doc. Torch figured the rest of Team Nefarious would be an issue, so.... I'm, have been dubbed new leader by him. He's intimidating Scratch and Grounder to make the new swift of alligence offictal, Doctor Poopinstien!?"
• Dr. Nefarious: "..... Garble? Wha, what're, what're you doing!?"
• Garble: "I'm taking advantage of an oppertunity to finally be done with you, for causing me to lose my friends with your stupidity!? You ruined everything for everyone!? Now, Torch is likely gonna cause a pony-dragon war because of you!? And for what? So you can keep a bunch of guys that aren't even THAT useful?! I'm barely that impourent of an asset, and yet I was worth causing a desistating war?! SERIOUSLY!?"
• Dr. Nefarious: "Garb, babe, listen to me-"
• Garble: "NO!? YOU, LISTEN TO ME?! Thanks to you, now I have to be the one who fixes everything! I'll have Torch semi-cured of his corruption with help of the Cleanser Plant, a healing plant with great properties, leaving only enough so he won't chicken out on this, then, I'll become Vice-Dragon Lord with Torch, then togather with the wild dragons and Team Nefarious, we're going to dedicate outselves of ridding the world of Mythic Beast Slayers! I am gonna turn your botched revenge sceame into my plans for redemption, for everything you made me do or would've made me done!? Then after all the slayers are gone, I'll banish Team Nefarious from our lands for life, leaving you three clowns imprisoned here! Consider that as payback for possability planning to throwing me into the Toughenator. (The three were surprised). Yeah, don't think I didn't figured you would do that! You were the same people that were originally gonna betray Blueblood until Pred screwed you over and the fact you actselly liked having an Alicorn by your side changed your hypocritical minds! I feel as if I owe Equestia and beyond greatly for what I was being involved with, and now, I'm gonna see it through!"
• Dr. Nefarious: "Garble, please, we're practicly family!"
• Garble: "FAMILY?! A bunch of worthless C-List villains, is NOT, family!? The only ones I ever considered family were my friends Clump, Spear, Fizzle, Baff and Vex, but getting involved with your shenanigans ruined everything!? I'm done with you!? I'm done with Team Nefarious!? I'm done being a bad guy! The path of redemption begins now!? And Nobody's halting that?! Smell you never, Ne-Dork-Ious."
• Garble bitterly left the group alone.
• Nefarious broke into oily tears and cried!
• Bellwether: "...... Teens, am I right?"
• Lawerence: "Indeed. They rebel on you in the very end."
• Clump, Spear, Fizzle, Baff and Vex began looking at eachother to what they've done.

Torch's Throwne Area.

• Garble and some dragons are seen taking a giant bowl of blue speicalised plants torwords Torch.
• Garble: "Your victory Salad, mi'ledge."
• Torch: "Now THAT'S more like it. I do enjoy me a good Cleanser Plant to melt me troubles away. I'll only eat what my stomich doesn't make me puke out. We are traditionally carnavores after all."
• Garble: Right, sir. Enjoy.
• Torch: You know, I'm so GLAD I'm the new leader of this land. That robot friend of yours was thinking I would take orders from him, when really I should've done this all on my own.
• Garble:... But, he gave you this power, didn't he?
• Torch: Yes. But he's proven to put his own ego against those that follow him. I must ask... Why did you join his little skirmish in the first place?
• Garble:... Reasons. Leave it at that.
• Torch: Ahh, I'm in a good enough reason to ignor it. Now, get the rest of this place prepared for those heroes' probable assault. (As Crane was watching from the roof) We don't need any misfits ruining my plans.
• Crane:... (Flies off)

Meanwhile...

• Crane: (Arrives with D-Team)... Guys, I guess things just took a sudden twist. Nefarious, Lawrence, and Bellwether got sent to the dungeon, AND Garble has turned against Nefarious.
• Icky: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, s***! Nefarious going man-child 2.0. on us really delivered an unintentionally worse situation! That's going to make it worse. That was what Nefarious as fearing would happen on this mission.
• Iago: GREAT! Now he just ran the risk of destroying this entire place.
• Crane: Actually, Nefarious' actions unintentionally did that.
• Trigger: Still. I'd estimate Nefarious would still try and destroy this place. He once said that if he couldn't have something, nobody could. He feels that if he can't have something, he will destroy it.
• Nutzy: Yeah, he's pretty ballsy like that.
• Icky: In that case, we need to change our plan of attack. (On radio) Guys, major twist on our plan here.... And it's gonna be ABIT hard to swallow.

Later...

• Lord Shen: Well, everyone, it seems we need to change our plan around now that Nefarious, Lawrence, and Bellwether are imprisoned AND Garble has renounced his loyalty to Nefarious.
• Boss Wolf: Damn right, because if Nefarious regains his power, he's surely going to punish this place even more.
• Ember: From the looks of it, it looks like Nefarious might destroy my home, and father along with it. We need to do something!
• Spike: Relax, I think my plan can still work. We just need to change a few things.
• Twilight: Right. Looks like B-Team will have to remain undercover and distract Torch as double-agents while A-Team will continue distracting him out of sight.
• Lord Shen: Luckily, I just addressed everyone what to do beforehand.
• Twilight:... You knew what I was going to decide?
• Lord Shen: That's why I'm the general of the Lodge. I think ahead.
• Twilight:... Well... Good work, I guess.
• Lord Shen: I just hope we hurry up with this plan. One little slip-up, and it may cost us a chance to overwhelm all these forces from the inside-out.
• Spike: It's going to work. I know it will.
• SpongeBob: I trust Spike enough with this plan. We've made it this far.
• Patrick: What was the plan again?
• Lord Shen:... (Sighs)

Later...

• Nefarious Trooper #1: This is some bulls***! We lost our master all because of a flaw in his corruption serum?
• Nefarious Trooper #2: To be honestly fair, I would've seen it coming. The corruption powder was from the Villain Leage after all. And to be quite frank here.... It didn't really helped that Torch wasn't exactly a very bright guy, so all it takes is the mere power of suggestion and bam! Guy turns on ya! But at least he's not the one encharged of us. At least we have to listen to Garble.
• Nefarious Trooper 1: "Yeah, but, I heard talk that it's temporary until he cleans out all the mythic beast slayers in this world! Afterwords, we're all banished from here."
• Nefarious Trooper 2: "Well, considering that we're villains either way, getting banished from a world like this isn't too surprising."
• Nefarious Trooper 1: "We won't even see Nefarious anymore after this! He's pretty much condemned here?!"
• Nefarious Trooper 2: "Look, if it helps, whenever these sort've things happen, it's almost always likely that the Lougers will come out of nowhere and wreck everything. Hell, I wouldn't've be surprised if everything going to crap was pretty much their fault for the sake of keeping us from getting this dying operation from the ground and that Nefarious being stupid about the whole thing was an unintentional setback because of him being such a robotic man-child!"
• Nefarious Trooper 1: "Even if that is true and likely, we can't prove it either way. We're just gonna have to assume that wild dragons are jerks through and through."
• Nefarious Trooper #2: Well, if it does... Does that mean we still have to take orders from Torch, or even Garble?
• Nefarious Trooper #1: It's not like we have a choice in the matter. Garble's a pretty serious person, and packs as powerful of slaps as Nefarious.
• Nefarious Trooper #2: Well either way, I say I hope the Lodgers win, because I like our old master better. As abusive as he was to us, he was still decent enough to enjoy with his glitches, AND it was funny to watch him get bitch-slapped.
• Nefarious Trooper #1: We can't defy orders for that, though.
• Nefarious Trooper #2:... What if we looked like we tried our best, though?
• Nefarious Trooper #1:... Clever thinking, but I'd rather not take any chances. As sucky as this change is, Garble will have us sold for scrap if we refused to do his bidding. (They were being watched by Coldfront as he flew off before he could be noticed)
• Nefarious Trooper #2: Alright, but I'm STILL not supporting this silly change. Why, I bet we're just sitting here so we can be taken out by something that came out of nowhere- AGGGAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?
• Nefarious Trooper 1: "AGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAA!? WHY DID YOU SCREAMED!?"
• Nefarious Trooper 2: "...... Oh, sorry, I was just practicing on when should we get ambush. It's like when in every ambush senario, you get pounced on and the ambushe screams bloodly murder. See, you made a good one just now. Do it again." (He screams when he sees Spyro and Cynder behind him) Oh, dude, that was a good one- (The two were blasted into pieces by their attack)
• Spyro:... Alright, that should keep some of Torch's forces distracted. (The two flew out of sight)

Meanwhile...

• Nefarious Trooper #3: It's called the Wilhelm scream, man! It's like the one in Star Wars where the Stormtrooper falls. (They were both watched by Sam and Max who were both armed wit revolvers)
• Nefarious Trooper #4: Oh, yeah, I love that scream! Doesn't it sound like 'Eeeeyyyaaaahhh'?
• Nefarious Trooper #3: No, dude, it's more like 'aaaAAAUUGH'!
• Nefarious Trooper #4: No, that wasn't it either- (He was shot down by Max as he did the Wilhelm scream)
• Nefarious Trooper #3: DUDE, THAT WAS TOTALLY IT- (He got shot by Sam as he did the same scream, then the two fist-bump each other)

Meanwhile again...

• Nefarious Trooper #5: (As he leads second-leading Sentinel Hornets and normal Hornets, singing) THE HORNETS AND THE TROOPERS GO MARCHING ONE BY ONE, HURRAH, HURRAH! WE SHOOT THOSE MISFITS JUST FOR FUN, HURRAH, HURRAH! THESE BOTS GO MARCHING THREE BY THREE, YET NEVER SING ALONG WITH ME, YET I KNOW THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE VOICE BOXES! (As he continues singing, the Hornets show disbelief at the Nefarious Troopers' nonsense by face-palming)
• Cornwall: Sheesh, the Nefarious Troopers these days!
• Devon: I know. As stupid as their creator. Then again, that's what you get when you have a dome for a head. (They blasted fire at them, scorching them to charcoal)
• Cornwall: Yeah! (They high-fived each other, and took off)

Meanwhile yet again...

• Susan: (She and the shrunk Insectasaurus snuck through more marching Hornets, and barely avoided the larger buffer red-and-black ones)...So...I have NO idea why we're distracting those guys when all we're good for is our size. (Insectasaurus squealed) I know, I know, it's because they've been saying we need to cut back on using that most of the time. Why do you think Phil was going all Full-Metal Jacket on me during training?

Cutaway

• Phil: YOU KNOW SOMETHING, TOOTSIE ROLL, ALL YOU DO IN THIS LODGE IS STOMP ON PEOPLE LIKE THEY WERE ACTION FIGURES!! WHICH IS WHY I HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU GO THROUGH BASIC TRAINING LIKE THE REST OF THEM! YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT, SUSIE SKYSCRAPER?!?
• Susan: SIR, NO, SIR!
• Phil: THEN YOU CAN START BY GIVING ME 100 F****** PUSHUPS, THEN PILE IT UP WITH 1000 SITUPS, THEN YOU PILE IT UP WITH 1 MILLION MOTHERF****** THUMB PUSHUPS!! I DON'T CARE IF YOUR SIZE MAKES YOU STRONGER, YOU NEED TO PROVE YOU CAN USE THAT QUANTONIUM WITH AS MUCH MIGHT AS ANY OTER SUPERIORS ON KRATOS!!
• Susan: SIR, YES, SIR!
• Phil: GOOD! AND I WANT NO CRYING LIKE THE OTHERS DID!!! I DRANK THEIR TEARS AND IT REALLY REFRESHES ME!
• Susan: Ew, did you really-
• Phil: DON'T YOU BACK-TALK ME, MOUNT EVEREST, I WOULD NOT DO SOMETHING THAT SICK!! JUST FOR THAT REMARK, MAKE IT 1 QUINTILLION PUSHUPS!!! OR AT LEAST UNTIL I SEE YOU CRY OR WHEN I SAY SO!
• Susan: Didn't you say-
• Phil: I CHANGED MY MIND, SHUT UP!! NOW DO AS YOUR TOLD!!! (Susan quickly started doing pushups)

Present

• Susan: I admit, it helped, but the screaming was more distracting than helpful! Plus, it wasn't necessary. What, was he watching Full-Metal Jacket and it stuck too much to him? (Insectasaurus squealed)... Oh, that WAS what happened?... Eh, that's not surprising. Now, how do you suppose we provide a distraction? (Insecto squeaked while pointing at something) What? (He pointed at a hovertank)...Hmm...I think I might have an idea. But we can't drive it through. We only need a distraction. (They were able to sneak through as Susan displayed a decent amount of gymnastic tricks and flips to avoid detection)...Alright! Let's make some noise! (They got into the tank)... (The Hornets entered and saw Ginormica in the tank)... Oh, hello... And goodbye! (She blasts the tank, completely destroying the troop)... (Insectasaurus squeals) I know, it's loud, but it will be a good enough distraction. Now let's get out of here. (They got out and took off)

Outside Base

• Lord Shen: (As they heard the tank blast)... Well, it seems it's going fine.
• Boss Wolf: Yeah. Perhaps a little TOO fine.
• (Icky): Hey, guys! Did you hear that? Susan and Insecto just took a tank, delivered an awesome line, and blasted the crap out of a troop of Hornets!
• Phil: Finally! I see she's finally using her head for this! I taught her well.
• Lord Shen: Good. But remember, we can't start the attack until the traps are taken care of and D-Team gives the signal.
• Boss Wolf: And this could leave the possibility that the villains will immediately deduce that it was us that did those things.
• Spike: Maybe, but it'll still leave them distracted long enough for the traps to be taken care of.

Elsewhere.

• The Slingtails are seen resting next to the blouders.
• Alex: (He and his group nodded each other).
• Marty placed down a boombox and flipped the switch.

I Like to Move It, Move It - Sacha Baron Cohen - Madagascar (2 3 4- LONGER VERSION ) TRUE LYRICS

• The music plays as it gets the attention of both the Slingtails AND the Sea Worms and both started to get jiggy with it!
• Melman: "..... Your right Marty, this is WAY more better then just pushing a blouder onto them.... And abit more humane."

Meanwhile...

• Kowalski: (They were going through the vents)... Oh, it's so cool in here!
• Skipper: Duh, we're in the flipping air vents. Now let's see if we can find some turrets or laser fields to shut down.
• Kowalski: I recommend we target the control room. I'd estimate that the entire security system is controlled there.
• Skipper: I would've figured that out without you, Kowalski. We just need to take the motherf****** in there, and we're golden.
• Rico: (Takes out an inactive chainsaw and chuckles quietly)
• Skipper: Whoa, easy on the violence there, Rico! They could be living things, like the dragons we're supposed to protect.
• Rico:... (Chuckles) Sorry!
• Skipper: Relax. If they're not, you can shred them up as much as you want....Provided chainsaws can actually cut metal.
• Private: I don't think it can. (They passed a vent through a room with RYNO cannons in it as it started to sense them and aim at them) (The Penguins covered him before he can yelp)...
• Kowalski:... Just remain still! They can sense our movement, and they sure as heck can blast this vent open with us in it. (They stood still until the cannons focused off of them, and the Penguins slowly moved as the cannons were getting active, and the Penguins made it through safely)...
• Skipper:... Nice work, boys!
• Kowalski: We're almost to the control room.
• Private: Good, because I can't take this 'being sneaky' thing anymore. We've been doing it for 30 minutes.
• Skipper: Private, stop being so nervous. We've made it this far, didn't we?
• Kowalski: Yeah, but I've been studying Nefarious' security technology for years, and I must say that it won't be easy getting through them, even in vents. Those cannons we passed, we've seen them before. They are improved motion-sensing RYNO cannons. Fires devastating minigun-rocket blasts at anything that moves. And that's not even the first in a long line of his security devices.
• Skipper: Security schmecurity! We've faced worse than that. So shut up and let's get moving. (They eventually entered the control room)... Well, let's kick their asses.
• Kowalski: Hold on! Recognize that button right there? (They notice a big red button with a specific icon on it)
• Private:... Doesn't look like any button I've ever seen.
• Rico: Nothing in my noggin!
• Kowalski: It's a sanitation blast button. It unleashes a flash of energy that will harm any that it senses is a threat. It doesn't affect Nefarious' forces, but it affects his enemies. It's basically an evolved version of the sanitation field he used during one of our missions.
• Skipper: Oh, yeah, that field that's like the laser web thing in Resident Evil that slices the victim like fish. No way to beat it, just need to prevent it from BEING used.
• Kowalski: Exactly. We need to attack with the upmost caution. I recommend we-
• Rico: NAAAH! (Hacks out a bomb that explodes, destroying everything in the control room, including the Nefarious Troopers, Hornets, and the control panel, causing everything within the security, including the RYNO turrets, to go offline)
• Skipper:... Nice work, Rico!
• Kowalski:... A little crazy to say the least, but better than the risk of being fried by a flash of light.
• Rico: I know. I'm awesome!
• Skipper: (On radio) C-Team reporting, the tech security is disabled.
• (Lord Shen): Yeah, we heard the explosion from here. At least you're doing A-Team and B-Team a favor.
• Rico: Ah, shucks!
• Kolwalski: "Though, to be honest, I think this control room handles more then just the defence system. I estimate that-"
• The power goes out.....
• Kolwalski: ".... Up, there it is."

Meanwhile...

• Suddenly, the power of the entire place as a whole begins to die.
• The Communications died out as well.
• The Generator that powers the Nefarious Troopers and Hornets died out as well, as the bots go offline.
• The cells containing the prisoners lose power.
• Bellwether: "..... Did, the power, just, died?"
• Clump: "..... Is it safe to say that the lougers already began to wreck their shit?"
• Nefarious: "Well for once, I'm glad for them."
• Bellwether: "..... Why are our robots shut down along with the power?"
• Nefarious: "Well, usually they are powered independently, but Celestia casted a powerful anti-robotic invader spell recently that shuts down any invading robot force, so to prevent that, we have to have robots with generators so they can be useful.... I know, it's tecnecally stupid considering how it easily backfires for those CIS guys from the Star Wars Prequils, but again, the spell would ruin independently powered robots before they had the chance, so please, DON'T BITCH TO ME ABOUT THAT?!"
• Bellwether: Sorry, just thought we'd establish something here.
• Lawrence: But it is still a believable question to ask for a rookie.
• Nefarious: If you can even call planning good strategies rookie material. Now, let's get out f here! (They all got out of the cell)

Meanwhile...

• Torch: WHAT THE F*** JUST HAPPENED TO THE POWER?!?
• Garble: It must be the Lodgers!
• Torch: Well, what the hell are you waiting for? Send in the Troopers and Hornets!
• Garble: (On radio) TROOPERS, GET OFF YOUR ROBOTIC ASSES AND RESPOND! (The device was inactive)...Oh, boy, they're all shut down.
• Torch: WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE ALL SHUT DOWN?!?
• Garble:... I think the power generator powering them was cut off with the rest of the power.
• Torch:... You mean to tell me... YOUR ROBOT FORCES ARE POWERED BY A MEASELY VULNERABLE GENERATOR?!? WHAT KIND OF IDIOT IS YOUR FORMER MASTER?!?
• Garble: HEY, BLAME CELESTIA FOR THAT ONE!! SHE CAST A SPELL THAT DISABLES INDEPENDENT POWER FOR ROBOT INVASIONS RECENTLY!!!
• Torch:... Yet another reason why I hate ponies. Alright, just send in the dragon forces to take care of it!
• Garble: Yes, sir!
• Torch: By Lavorious, first we're going hall to hall with disruptive noises and destruction, AND NOW THE POWER IS DOWN?!? It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have night vision, but NOW OUR SECURITY IS DOWN!... Well, except for those Slingtails and Seaworm-
• Garble: SHUSH!
• Torch:... HOW DARE YOU SHUSH ME?!?
• Garble: Do you hear that? Don't you hear that?... (They hear the boombox music outside and see that the Slimetails and Sea Worms are dancing to the music)... What the f*** are they doing?
• Torch: WHY ARE THEY WASTING THEIR TIME WITH MUSIC?!? GAH?! THEY'RE USELESS NOW!? We're on our own, Garble?!
• Garble: So what do we do then?
• Torch: We prepare for the eventual assault. It seems these Lodgers want to play rough, so we'll show them who's rough! (They were watched by Thunderclap, who flew off)... Wait a minute... I hear flapping! (They saw Thunderclap as he flew off)
• Garble: IT'S ONE OF THOSE DACTYLS THE LOUGERS HAVE!!
• Thunderclap: (On radio) ALRIGHT, I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT! SEND THE SIGNAL! NOW!
• Crane: Sending the signal! (Flies up) CA-CAAAAAA!! (The sound echoes as it caught everyone's attention)
• Lord Shen:... I think that's our cue! (On radio) ALL LODGERS AND ALLIES ATTACK!!
• Torch: "GARBLE?! GET SOME REINFORCEMENTS HERE NOW!?"
• Garble: "How am I suppose to do that!? Communication's down!?"
• Torch: "FIND SPARKY, HE'S AN ELECTIC DRAGON!? FIND HIM AND GET HIM TO RE-ENGERGISE THIS PLACE?!"
• Garble: "HE'S AWAY ON FAMILY VACATION!?"
• Torch:... What genius gave him permission to do that?
• Garble: You did.
• Torch:... DAMMIT!! (The Lodgers and allies surrounded the area and began attacking) Alright! Looks like if you want something done right, you do it yourself! (He begins spreading blasts of fire all over the area)
• Gilda: OH S***, OH S***, OH S***, OH S***!! (The Lodgers barely avoided the blasts as Po had a flaming butt)
• Po: D'AAAHHH!! HOT BUTT, HOT BUTT, HOT BUU-HUU-HUU-HUTTT!!!
• Ember: Oh, great! Looks like father's going to step into the fight!
• Spyro: We can handle them! (He and Cynder flew up and blasted at him as they avoided all of his attacks)
• Susan: (He and Insectasaurus saw them fighting)... Well, looks like they'll need our help. (The two grew to their signature sizes) HEY, UGLY!
• Torch: (Growls and sees them both, growling)
• Susan: Come and get some!
• Torch: (Growls, and blasts fire at them as they jumped out of the way as Susan ended up with her head in the water, and got it out as she sputtered)
• Susan: Okay, THAT was just really- (Torch grabbed her head and put it back in the water as she started suffocating)
• Cynder: LET HER GO! (She and Spyro blasted him in the back as he let go, and Ginormica gasped for air)
• Torch: WILL YOU JUST PISS OFF ALREADY?!?
• Sparx: THEY DON'T HAVE TO USE THE BATHROOM, UGLY!!
• Ember: Watch it, bug, that's my father you're talking to! Also, it's not really helping.
• Torch: "Hey, FYI, that "Piss off" thing was an expression, bug!"
• Sparx: "Express my ass, Torch-Dork!"
• Torch growled as the fighting starts!
• Twilight: At least they're keeping him busy.
• Rainbow Dash: Good. Now let's go kick some Nefarious ass!

Elsewhere.

• Nefarious, Lawerence, Bellwether and the rest of the Team Nefarious group aimed to retreat in the ship!
• Nefarious: "Ya know what? I am not gonna bother with any initional threats about not having Garble anymore?! I just want to get out of here!? We'll figure out a plan to get Garble back into our side later!"
• Bellwether: "Seriously?! After he basicly turned on us, you still want him back?!"
• Nefarious: "Hey, like I said, family's family!"
• Bellwether: "HE DEGRADED, HUMILIATED, AND INSULTED YOU!?"
• Nefarious: "He does that to everyone!"

Flashback.

• Garble was seen giving Morgana swhirles with her clearly unimpressed or unintimidated.
• Garble: "ENJOY THE SWHIRLES, OCTO-TURD?!"
• Morgana: "You know I can survive underwater, right? Also, the poo water doesn't even bother me anymore, you done to me so much that I gotten de-sensitised to it. Anyway, how much longer is this gonna be, I really need to-"
• Garble dunks her head back in!
• Another part, Garble was seen wedging Rover and Spot in Nefarious brand underwear!
• Garble: "WEDGE TIME, JEWERLY MUTTS?!"
• Spot: "Hey, we agreed, "No racial Diamond Dog Slurs", remember!?"
• Another Part has Garble repeatingly stomp on Zigzag's foot as various comical screams are heard!
• Garble was then seen giving Scratch and Grounder noogies!
• Garble: "NOOGIES?!"
• Doofinshirtz sees this.
• Doofinshirtz: "Heh. Glad I'm not caught in the middle of that."
• Garble looks at Doofinshirtz....
• Garble: "Hey..... That kinda reminds me."
• Doofinshirtz: "..... Ya done it again, doof.... Ya done it agai- (He was screaming as Garble chased him down)"

Present

• Nefarious: So yeah, sticks and stones can break my bones... If I had any... But words don't hurt me. I've insulted people so much, I get used to it as well.
• Bellwether: You were clearly crying. Didn't even know robots could do that.
• Lawrence: Again, he used to be organic. Robots not bound by cartoon logic don't even HAVE feelings, otherwise he wouldn't be, as some people would call him, insane.
• Nefarious: Pfft, even I know I'm insane. But pfffffft, I don't give a f***! Now let's get the hell out of here!
• ???: NOT SO FAST, RETARD! (Dragons appeared with Buzz Lightyear Plasma Cannons)
• Dr. Nefarious:...You can breath fire, you know!
• Dragon #1: We know, but firing these things is WAY more awesome!
• Dragon #2: EVERYDRAGON READY YOUR CANNONS!! We'll blast him apart, and sell him and his butler for scrap. As for the sheep... I think she'll make great lamb chop.
• Bellwether: UGH, THAT IS DISGUSTING!!! DON'T YOU ALL HAVE ANY SHAME?!?
• Dragon #3: Give us a break, we eat sheep! Now shut your baaing mouth an hold still!
• Dragon #1: READY... AIM... FIRE- (Before they could fire, the Penguins took them all out until Dragon #1 was left, putting up a good fight with the plasma cannon until Rico bashed him on the head with a shovel) HAH! You think a silly old shovel is going to beat me? Well, you are VEEEEEEEEEEERY correct, because I think I'm blacking out! (He falls unconscious)
• Nefarious:... I... Uh...
• Skipper: Well, dome-head, have anything to say? (Rico took a plasma cannon and stuck it on one of the dragons' butts) Rico, don't you dare! (Rico moans in aggravation)
• Nefarious:... Well... Don't think I'll give you a thank you just because you saved our lives, squishy! As soon as we get out of here, I'm getting back to the Space Station, and you will go back to the Dragon Temple and do your silly good deeds while we take our time to refresh. FOR I, STILL PLAN TO GET GARBLE BACK AND-
• Skipper: "How's about we help you on that by getting Garble off of his high horse and focus on the real shorce of the problem: His friend problems?"
• Nefarious: "Uh..... Wait, you guys WANT him to go back to us!?"
• Private: "Well, mainly as means to prevent you from harrassing Equestia more then whatever an episode needs initionally to be honest, but we heard about how you considered him family, so, in a way, we understand that very much."
• Skipper: "That's why we want to help remind Garble of his place and talk those friends of his out of reforming until we can PERIMENTLY make sure your out of the eqation. Under the condition you don't do more crap for until there's another episode for you!"
• Nefarious: "DAWWW, BUT THE PRODUCER IS INCONSISTENT WITH THAT?! WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN HE'S GONNA USE US AGAIN OUTSIDE OF THOSE KIND OF EPISODES WHERE WE SHOW UP ALONG SIDE THE OTHER VILLAINS WHCH DOESN'T REALLY COUNT AS A TRUE TEAM NEFARIOUS APPEARENCE!?"
• Bellwether: "Well we at least kinda owe them for both saving our lives AND for causing this mess to begin with!?"
• Nefarious: "Ugh.... Fine."
• Dragon 1: "Ugh, gees, Lougers, if you guys just wanted to give them Garble and his dumb friends back, you could've just told us and not kick our asses for it."
• Skipper: "Sorry about that, sometimes acting without thinking tends to be as automatic like a well oiled machine."
• Rover: "Litterally in Nefarious' case."
• Nefarious smacks Rover in the back of the head!
• Rover: "OW?! METAL HITS HARD!?"
• Nefarious: Well, Lodgers, I suppose in return for your help, we'll at least give you some space. After all, we do need a lot of things to fix. Especially when Scratch and Grounder f***** up part of the Space Station.
• Spot: And what about those new-
• Nefarious: NEW VIDEO GAMES FOR THE NEFARIOUS LOUNGE! Of course, we promised one of the Troopers we'd get Overwatch for the Omni-Console. (The Penguins were confused)...(They chuckled)
• Skipper:...Alright, Nefarious, what was he REALLY going to say?
• Nefarious: Oh, he's stupid, he'll say anything.
• Skipper: NO! We know you're hi- (Suddenly, more dragons appeared with more blasters)
• Private: WE SURRENDER!!!!
• Skipper: Really, Private?
• Original Dragon 1: "Whoa whoa whoa, dudes! No need to cause trouble! The Lougers are trying to get Garble and his idiotic friends out of here AND get Torch out of office!"
• Back-Up Dratgon 1: "Oh.... Why didn't you just say so? But why did they have to pretty much wreck our defences over it?"
• Kolwalski: "Because it would've been unrealisticly hard to go into this place otherwise."
• Back-up Dragon 2: "He has a good point sir."
• Backup Dragon #1: Alright, but first, let us waste this robotic dumbass for causing all this mess! (They take their plasma cannons and aim)
• Skipper: Whoa, lower your weapons, guys!
• Backup Dragon #1: Why should we? He ruined our perfect kingdom!
• Spot: Hey, if you should blame anyone, blame Garble and his friends for bringing the trouble.(Everyone was surprised)
• Private:...REALLY?!?
• Skipper: Oh, GREAT! Now they're going to take the blame on Garble and his friends, and that's going to make things WORSE! Nice going, you dumb mutt!
• Backup Dragon #3: Actually...we still blame Nefarious. Garble and his friends were in the right for quitting the team. Nefarious was the one who refused to accept it.
• Kowalski: Guys, know that Nefarious doesn't accept anything when it comes to losing his teammates. This is not the first time they tried to quit, and all it ever did was lure Nefarious and cause chaos to whatever worlds they went to.
• Backup Dragon #1: Well, that's his own fault. Also, it gives us more reason to kill him. If he can't learn, then he never will. It's best we put him out of his misery.
• Backup Dragon #2: Yeah! A person who causes trouble and chaos all because of a rightful choice of redemption? There's no excuse for that! Now move or you will join them!
• Private: "(Gets angry) NOW LISTEN HERE, YOU BLIMEY REPTILIAN MORONS?! (The Back-Up dragons were caught off guard by that!) BY ALL MEANS, YOUR ENTITLED TO HATE THESE GUYS FOR UNTIL THE DAY YOU PASS ON FROM THIS WORLD, BUT THAT GIVES YOU NO RIGHT TO TAKE AWAY THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF BEING VILLAINS!? THERE'S VILLAINS THAT DO WORSER THINGS FOR MUNDANE AND PETTY REASONS THEN THESE GUYS!? COMPAIRED TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT, TEAM NEFARIOUS ONLY ACTED OUT LIKE A DYSFUNTIONAL FAMILY BEING LEAD BY A MAN-CHILD!?"
• Nefarious: "HEY!?"
• Private: "AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU JUST COMMITED THE ACT OF THREATENING THE LOUGER LIVES JUST BECAUSE WE STAND IN THE WAY OF YOUR BLOODLUST!? THAT'S TREASON IN THE EYES OF THE HIGH COUNCIL PUNISHABLE WITH A LIFE SENTENCE IN PRISON 42, BUSTER!?"
• The Back-Up Dragons gulped!
• Private: "ALL HE WANTS HIS TO HAVE MEMBERS OF HIS FAMILY BACK AND HE'S ENTITLED TO IT FOR AS LONG AS HE'S CAPABLE TO EASILY ESCAPE FROM PRISON FOR AS LONG AS WE CAN TELL IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE?! NOW, I'M GONNA GIVE YOU BLIMEY NINCOMPOOPS ONE LAST CHANCE?! BACK OFF, OR ELSE?! (Starts to violently twitch)."
• Back-Up Dragon 1: "OK, OK, FINE!? We'll back off! Gees! Man you lougers get strange and preachy sometimes!?"
• The Back-Up Dragons dropped the blasters and leave.
• Back-Up Dragon 2: "Why do good guys have to be so strange and complicated?"
• The Back Up Dragons left the area.
• Private was doing breathing exsirsizes.
• Skipper: "..... Wow! I'm surprised by that moxie, Private!"
• Private: "Well, I don't really tend to like it when people threaten families, metathorical or otherwise, for any reason, Skipper. I just chouldn't take it."
• Nefarious: "Ya didn't had to call me a Man-Child though!"
• Skipper:...What were we just talking about?
• Nefarious: Less lip, more ship! (They took off)

Meanwhile...

• Torch: (He was still fighting against Spyro, Cynder, Insectasaurus, and Ginormica) GRRRGGGHHHH!!! (He lashes at them with his tail, pushing Ginormica and Insecto straight to the ground)
• Trixie: (The impact caused a tremor that shakes everyone off their footing)...Urrgh! That fight isn't really helping with the tremors!
• Gilda: Look, it's just keeping Torch busy, just come to peace with it.
• Trixie: Alright, fine! (They all continued fighting the forces as Nefarious' group and the Penguins were seen coming out)
• Nefarious: Okay, we're finally out of that death trap!
• ???: HEY! (Garble flew out)
• Garble: What're you all doing out of your cells?
• Lawrence: Do you not remember the power outage?
• Garble:...Alright, whose idea was it to-
• Nefarious: MINE! PLEASE DO NOT CRITICIZE MY METHODS LIKE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW POWER IN MACHINES WORK!! POWER IS NOT UNLIMITED AND NEEDS A SOURCE, YOU KNOW!!!
• Garble: Uh, excuse you, I was going to ask why the cells weren't tech-based and just made out of a dense and durable metal!
• Nefarious:...DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA- (He glitches as Kingdom Hearts music was heard)...
• Garble:...(Sighs)
• Skipper: (As Lawrence slapped him and he continued screaming) Garble, this madness has to stop! Nefarious did all this because he feared you would renounce your loyalty! By doing that, you gave him a perfectly good reason to continue terrorizing this place until he gets what he wants. (The Lodgers arrived after dealing with all the forces)
• Lord Shen: I'm afraid he's right! You've pretty much doomed your own race by doing the one thing he came here to prevent!
• Icky: Yeah, what kind of monster do you think you are? As far as we're concerned, all this is pretty much your fault!
• Garble: HOW DARE YOU CRITICIZE ME FOR A CHOICE I HAD TO MAKE?!? HE DAMAGED MY FRIENDSHIPS AND WENT TOO FAR WITH IT!!!
• Banzai: Alright, listen here, jackass, you know how Nefarious doesn't appreciate ditching! HE WENT TO ALL THIS TROUBLE JUST FOR YOU, AND THIS IS THE THANKS YOU GIVE HIM?!?
• Garble: OH, SO NOW YOU'RE SUPPORTING HIM?!?
• Banzai: NO! I'M SAYING THAT YOU'RE NOT A GOOD MEMBER FOR BEING SO VINDICTIVE!! YOU KNOW HE CAN KEEP DOING THIS AS LONG AS HE WANTS!! ARE YOUR FRIENDSHIPS AND TRUST IN THEM MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE LIVES OF YOUR ENTIRE RACE?!?
• Garble: MAYBE THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE!! (Everyone was surprised)
• Ember:...So...that's the way you want it, huh? You want Nefarious to keep doing this until you are hurt enough to join? Or worse? What if someone you valued was hurt in the process? Like, say, Sunset Shimmer?
• Garble: (Was surprised)... Come again?
• Ember: Yeah, we heard about you sharing a childhood with her. You used to be with ponies yourself like Spike was!
• Garble: LIES!! ALL LIES!!!
• ???: Are they? (Starlight appears)
• Starlight: Because I certainly remember.
• Garble:...Oh, no! Not her!
• Vex: STARRY! (The dragons looked at him weird)
• Garble:...NOBODY LISTEN TO ANYTHING SHE SAYS! SHE JUST WANTS TO MAKE ME LOOK BAD!!!
• Starlight: I never said I wanted to do that! I'm just saying that they have good reason to know why you're like this in the first place. Why you're even WITH Nefarious!
• Garble: NO! I DON'T THINK THEY WOULD CARE LESS!
• Dragon #1: I did, actually.
• Garble: NO YOU DON'T!!!
• Starlight:...Look, I remember you and Vex very well. Sunset may be living a new life, but she wouldn't like what you're doing to this place!
• Garble: WHY DO YOU CARE HOW I LIVE MY LIFE?!?
• Starlight: Because I know you well even after me and Sunset were still fillies.
• Garble: YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ME!!!
• Starlight:... I know that your first word was 'blood'.
• Garble: (Growls) JUST GET AWAY FROM ME!! YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO-
• Starlight: NO I AM NOT! IF I WAS, THEN I'M SURE SUNSET WOULDN'T LIKE ME!! I'M NOT THE SAME RUDE AND SOCIOPATHIC MONSTER I ONCE WAS!
• Garble: None of you listen to this garbage! Just destroy them AND their worthless pony friends! Ponies are ALL garbage! THEY'RE CRUEL AND HYPOCRITICALLY HEARTLESS AS THE PUREST OF ALL BEINGS IN THE UUNIVERSES! ALL THEY DO IS MOCK US, TORMENT US, TURN THEIR BACKS ON US! And when it looks like they give you a chance, THEY STAB YOU RIGHT IN THE BACK, BOTH FIGURATIVELY AND LITERALLY!
• Starlight:... You didn't always think so.
• Garble: Oh, yeah? Name ONE thing I would LOVE about those lovey-dovey friendship-worshipping matriarchal farm animals! Name ONE itty-bitty cider-squeezy little thing!
• Starlight:... Me and Sunset!
• Garble:... Really?
• Starlight: PLEASE stop denying the truth! Me and Sunset cared about you and Vex. Even after all the trouble you went through, we still loved you like family. Don't you remember ANY of that love that Sunset gave you? I cared about you just as much as she did. In fact, like Spike here, you fell in love with a pony! (The dragons were surprised)
• Garble:... No, I didn't! They're just too bland and I happen to think bestiality is very wrong!
• Starlight: That hasn't stopped someone like Spike. He finds a lot of things to like about ponies. You could've if... Things hadn't happened.
• Garble: JUST SHUT UP! I WAS NOT WITH PONIES, END OF F****** STORY!! YOU'RE JUST-
• Starlight: I AM F****** NOT!!! YOU JUST FEEL EMBARRASSED TO LET THE DRAGONS KNOW THAT YOU LOVED SOMETHING OUTSIDE OF YOUR OWN SPECIES, AS IF THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE ABSOLUTELY ASHAMED OF!! YOU LET YOURSELF GET WORSE WITH YOUR ATTITUDE, AND HERE YOU ARE, WITH A VILLAIN TEAM, AND NOT EVEN GIVING THAT VILLAIN TEAM THE RESPECT THEY DEBATEABLY DESERVE!!! AND HERE I WANTED TO CHANGE YOU!!! BUT NOW THAT I SEE YOU'RE LONG GONE, THEN ALL I CAN SAY IS FUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu... (Garble was actually hurt by those words)... I also knew... You were really sensitive to your own attitude.
• Garble:... (Softly sobs)... OKAY, FINE! I ADMIT IT! I LIVED WITH PONIES WHEN I WAS A BABY! ME AND VEX LIVED WITH THEM!! BUT SO WHAT?!? I DIDN'T BELONG THERE ANYWAY! I BELONGED BETTER WITH DRAGONS!! THEY DON'T DEGRADE YOU OR TRY AND KILL YOU... Unless you disturbed a feral one's territory, given that wild dragons aren't typically a lawful socity so, duh,... BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT!! DRAGONS UNDERSTAND ME! PONIES WERE JUST NOT MY THING!! THEY HAD THEIR CHANCE, BUT THEY FAILED WITH THEIR SILLY PREJUDICE AND INJUSTICES WITH OUR KIND!! THEY ARE NOTHING BUT GIRLY, ANNOYING, HAPPY, SONG-SINGING, FRIEND-O-PHILIC, TRADITION-SABBY, DRAGON-FEARING, CUTIE-ASSED, MATRIARCHAL, HYPOCRITICAL EQUINES WHO THINK THAT THEY'RE BEING THE PUREST BEINGS IN THE UUNIVERSES, WHEN ALL THEY DO IS TREAT US BADLY!! I WAS IN THE RIGHT FOR LEAVING YOU STUPID CREATURES! YOU OFFERED ME WITH LITTLE OPTIONS! I... I... I... (Growls angrily and fights off his tears)...JUST GET OUT OF HERE!
• Starlight:... Is all this because me and Sunset losing sight in ourselves and then, eventally disappearing without a trace and leaving you and Vex alone? Then.... I'm sorry for it and on Sunset's behalf. In my case, I was pretty much the victim of my own troubles, which included having difficulty finding somepony I really cared about, only to go crazy with a Hippogriff belief against Cutie Marks and ended up getting on the path of being punished, only to be "Rescued" by chaos creation in the form of a anthromorthic lesbian bat who helped me create an equil cutie mark village, ONLY to be ruined by a gang of misfit mares, which lead to TWO BOTCHED REVENGE ATTEMPTS!? Where even dispite commiting CHRONO-TERRORISUM, I was given a chance to be on the path of redemption, NOT counting the times it hit MAJOR bumps in thanks to the same Bat lady, AND A FREAKY BAT-PONY HYBRID THAT BROUGHT A FICTIONAL HOSTILE ALIEN RACE TO LIFE?! THEN I FINALLY REUNITED WITH MY FRIEND DISPITE MY FEARS THAT HE WOULD REJECT ME, WHILE IN THE MISTS OF THE CHRISTAIL EMPIRE HAVING AN APPEARENT WILD STORM PROBLEM, WHICH KINDA FLIES IN THE FACE ON THE FACT WE BASICLY CONTROL WEATHER AND ALSO BRINGS QUESTIONS ON EVER LIVING IN THE FREAKING ARTIC TO BEGIN WITH?! AND ON TOP OF THE SHIT MOUNTAIN THAT IS MY LIFE, I, HAVE JUST DISCOVERED, THAT THE BEST DAMN ASSISTENT TO MY SISTER AND MY OWN ASSISENT, HAVE BEEN PLAYING SUPER VILLAIN WITH A BUNCH OF C-LIST VILLAINS!? I mean, personally, you could've done alittle better then that, BUT REGUARDLESS?! SO IF YOU HONESTLY, HONESTLY THINK THAT YOUR LIFE IS TERRORABLE, THEN WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR WHAT SUNSET WAS GOING THROUGH?!
• Bellwether: "..... Gees Louise, and I thought I had problems. I mean, seriously girl, take a chill pill for the sake of your heal-"
• Starlight: "QUIET?!"
• The Team Nefarious Members stared in shock of that reaction.
• Garble: ".......... Actselly...... I've been keeping track. I.... Secretly bought the Equestia Girls movies on DVD. But, but only for Sunset. I, kinda think the films are otherwise sell-outing garbage and-"
• Icky: "Yeah, tecnecally, the follow-ups have a better standing then the first."
• Garble: "Yeah but they're all still assently Hasbro's late attempts to cash-in on the late "success" of the High Shcool Musical films! Tell me you do NOT take a good look at those movies and instently feel like "Yeah, that's really just an animated High School Musical, but with ponies!", and not see the sell-out?! Heck, the toys themselves feel like Barbie rip-offs!"
• Icky: "No denial there bro."
• Garble: "ANYWAY, By all damn means, alchourse I still cared for you and Sunny! I'll never stop that! It's just.... Yeah, the whole wild dragon deal ORIGINALLY was suppose to be about hating ponies and, admiting that I had at least ONE nice thing say about, even if it's only an individual, that's instint loss of credability! Dragons are surprisingly judgemental! I mean, no wonder you ponies got that purity title even though I do at times doubt that, ALL OTHER RACES ARE ABUNCH OF ASSHOLES!?"
• Dragon 1: "Guilty as charged."
• Gilda: "No shit, sherlock."
• Garble: "I mean, I'm sorry if this sounds racist, but Griffins have an even worse greed problem then us dragons, Minotaurs are macho brawns-for-brains, Giants are squishing accsidents waiting to happen, Orcs, Goblins, and Ogres are just NASTY to look at, Centaurs are just..... (Shudders). Why did Tman obcessed over them?"
• Scroopfan's voice: "I asked myself that all the time."
• Garble: "And I could go on and on and on about how even my own kind sucks! But being among ponies just felt.... Lonely, since.... Well, you and Sunset basicly gone power-mad and just plain deludtional. Other ponies at best, just felt indifferent about me. Neither did they hate me or love me. They don't even talk about what happened. Life just.... Goes on for them like, your struggles is just another Dishastor of the Week for them!"
• Icky: "Buddy, do you have, ANY, idea how commen crazy events like that are to these ponies?"
• Trixie: "Those sort've things happened so commenly, we have to write a book to keep track of them all!"
• Garble: "Do you have PROOF of that?"
• Twilight makes a giant book appear from nowhere with her magic.
• Garble: "..... "The Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Big Book of Past Problems of Equestia"?"
• Twilight: "And THIS, is just volume one!"
• Garble: "..... Do, I even want to know what Volume 2 looks like?"
• Twilight: It's so big, it can't fit in a library. The point is that these sort of things happen all the time. We may be the purest beings in the UUniverses, but that doesn't mean we're completely flawless.
• Starlight: But what I don't get is why you despise us like this! You were raised by our kind, so what could've POSSIBLY happened to you to make you wanna wreak havoc on us? What happened to you and Vex after we were gone? Surely you would want other ponies to take you in.
• Garble: I did! I didn't want to be away from your kind. I had hoped that, even after all the times I had been looking for trouble, I had been expecting new students of Celestia's school to take us in. But unfortunately, the Unicorn Council wasn't so thoughtful....

Flashback...

• (Garble): After you two left, Celestia was deciding what to do with us. This decision, as it turns out, would be my judgment point of whether or not you ponies were worth my trust. But what had happened that day, only proved me wrong! We had a royal summit that would decide my fate. I had long heard stories about Shineflare herself being against non-pony creatures, but I had hoped for the best that even she, as a pony, would be easily forgiving.
• Celestia: Headmaster, these two have been troubled all their lives. They deserve better than what I presume you are going to give them.
• Shineflare: I'm sorry, but their permanent records in your school tell a whole lot about them. Their past actions justify a proper punishment. Especially the red one. (The young Spike-sized baby Garble looked nervous) Even I know how awful he was without reading his permanent record. It says here that he framed a young colt for rubbing soap all over his mother's face, and used a bad language incident as a way to cover it up.... All because he tattled on him.
• Violet: Ohhh-ho-ho-ho! That's cold, even for me!
• Celestia: He's only a child!
• Shineflare: That's no excuse, he's still a dragon! We all know dragons have serious attitudes because of the reptilian part of their brains being bigger than ours.
• Vex: Headmaster, please! Give us a chance!
• Shineflare: YOU WILL NOT SPEAK UNLESS SPOKEN TO, OR I WILL PLACE THE SILENCE CHARM ON YOU!
• Garble:...How rude! (Violet growls angrily)
• Celestia: Both of you, listen, they're right! They can change if you just give them a chance.
• Shineflare: Not after what the rest of his permanent record says. Other acts include blackmail, lying, stealing, attacking ponies for singing, disturbing peace, and for countless amounts of tricks. And this seems to violate a lot of rules in the school policy.
• Celestia: But the policy specifically states that dragon assistants can only be pardoned by a pony faculty member, like me since I'm the superintendent.
• Glitterhair: I'm sorry, your highness, but I'm afraid we're a higher authority than you, so whatever you say we're going to have to overrule.
• Celestia: Well then, why don't you see what Headmistress Twinkle Dust thinks? Policy states that, in a situation like this, a person who speaks for the school itself like her can support a pardon.
• Shineflare:...Very well, then. If she supports the pardon, we let them stay. But if she is against it, then I'm afraid the pardon will be overruled completely.
• Celestia: I'm sure she'll be as forgiving as me.
• (Garble): This is where my trust in the ponies were put to the test. Headmistress Twinkle Dust was a very influential and understanding pony, and I knew she taught the other students well.
• Shineflare: Alright, Headmistress Twinkle Dust. What are your thoughts on whether or not Garble and Vex should be allowed to stay?
• Twinkle Dust: Hmm...well, I seemed to have interviewed the entire school beforehand, and they were pretty thorough about the decision to let them stay. However...I'm afraid that Garble has done a lot of bad stuff to them. Especially when one of the students was framed for the soap incident...that just so happened to be a relative of my family. (Garble gulped)...So the odds are pretty much not in his favor. As it turns out, that's not the only student he wronged. Every student will admit that Garble was the worst assistant in the school. He did have a friend in the form of a hall monitor, but then he got her fired as payback for 'betraying' him by reporting an act of ripping a detention slip, aka DOING HER JOB. And that's not the first in a long line of up to 200 offenses. The votes of him staying were specifically 10% of the students at the school.
• Garble: (Was surprised, along with Vex and Celestia)
• Twinkle Dust: So...I'm afraid that, by demand of the students of the school, I disapprove of this pardon. (Garble, Vex, and Celestia were devastated)
• Shineflare: Then the motion passes! Pardon is completely overruled!
• Garble: No, please! Let us stay! This is our home!
• Celestia: Twinkle Dust, this is an outrage! How could you do this to them?
• Twinkle Dust: Don't blame me, your highness. Blame your students. They have spoken, and I must comply with their demands.
• Glitterhair: So you know the rules, Celestia! Any dragons who are denied redemption in the school are to be banished to the Dragon Lands for life.
• Garble: NO! I WON'T ACCEPT THIS!! (They try to escape until the pony guards surround them and arrest them) CELESTIA, PLEASE, DON'T LET THEM DO THIS!
• Celestia: I'm sorry. The Council is too powerful. There's nothing I can do.
• Garble: TALK SOME SENSE INTO THEM!!!
• Shineflare: It's too late! Our community has specific standards and rules, and you refused to follow them. A typical thing for dragons to do. Take them away!
• Garble: NO! PLEASE, SOMEBODY STOP THIS!!! PLEASE, LET US GO!!! I DON'T WANNA GO!! PLEEEEEEEASSSEEE!!! (The words echoed)
• (Garble):... I was shunned by the ponies who claimed themselves the purest. I thought Celestia had taught them better than that! As a result, I was left in a dragon penal land where I was shunned even more by angry and mean dragons. They treated me awfully. They made me do chores 24-7, and gave me disciplinary pain! I was alone. Unwanted by the ponies I put my trust into.

Present

• Private:... That sounds awful!
• Icky: "(Quietly) Mental Note, Fluttershy, give Discord permission to give Shinebutt serious hell for this."
• Fluttershy: "(Quietly) I'll see to it that it happens."
• Garble: Oh, it damn was! I was wronged! I felt betrayed by the very ponies I was told could be very forgiving. Even those that supported me weren't enough!
• Starlight: "The ponies who turned against you only did it because they thought you were nothing but a punk! Also, you kinda fell victim to the controversey assusiated with me and Sunset, so it didn't really helped. If it makes you feel any better, Shineflare is given the worse shit ever now because of her support for Pred Judu Des alone, let alone hindsight of her racist antics finally catching up to the bitch! Those same ponies who wanted you punished, TOTALLY changed their minds since punishing you only made you worse and totally hate the Unicorn council now! The Headmistress of the school even took a heel-face turn on it and had been advocating for you to be unbanished for a long time till her retirement! We were not being the monsters you thought we were.... We..... Just make mistakes..... I mean, come on, we may have purity, but we're not PERFECT! You had any idea how many rouge dragons and mythic beings have happened because everyone expects purity and perfection to be the same freaking thing?"
• Garble: "..... So.... Wait..... Your saying that they only turned on me because..... My troubled child antics caught up to me and I was more the victim of bad karma then anything else?"
• Icky: "Yup! Your a classic case of "Shit Happens"!"
• Garble: "..... You..... You mean..... I..... I ended up becoming a pony hater..... For practicly nothing!?"
• Vex: "(He and the others came in) Looks like it. Though Shiney was still very mean."
• Garble: "..... Can..... Everyone excuse me, for a moment?"

Later.

• Garble: "(Bonking his head into a rock) STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, STUPID, (Repeats saying Stupid for awhile)."
• Starlight: "...... He's gonna take awhile."
• Rainbow Dash: "Do you think that battle with Torch is still going on?"
• Icky: "Actselly he was defeated 19 hours of Garble calling himself stupid ago. He's already being tied up by stupidly strong chains and is awaiting treatment."
• Garble was still bonking his head calling himself stupid until enough bad bumps forced him to stopped!
• Garble: "Ugh! WHY IS IT EVERYTIME I TRY SOMETHING, I ONLY END UP FUCKING UP HARDER?! ALL MY LIFE IS FILLED WITH FUCK UPS?! I'M A FREAKING FUCK-UP?! (CRIES) I'M A FUCK-UP-HA-HA-HA!? (Bawls loudly!?)"
• Dragon 1: "..... We're, gonna go somewhere else now, it's, clear there's not much he can really DO anymore."
• The dragons leave.
• Starlight came up and comferted Garble in his hour of need.
• Garble: "I..... I..... I JUST WISH THE LOUGERS WEREN'T TOO COWERDLY ABOUT NEFARIOUS' OUTBURSTS?! Then this TOTALLY would've been the part where I DROPPED EVERYTHING and turn a new leaf?! WHY DOES EVERYTHING GO WRONG FOR ME?!"
• Starlight: "(Cries abit) Oh, Garby, I totally wish I never become upset over something as STUPID as thinking Cutie Marks are awful?! NO WONDER MOST OF THE BRONY ANALISTS BASICLY HATE AND MAKE FUN OF ME?! Then I would've been a good sister to Sunny and none of this would've ever happen?! I certainly would've AVOIDED being raped by a furry!? Let alone the Chronoterrorisum mess?!"
• Garble and Starlight cried, as Vex and the other Dragon Teens joined in, then Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Rarity! Applejack stayed behind and took her hat down and held it close to her heart.
• Bellwether: "Why aren't you joining in?"
• Twilight: "Applejack cries on the inside."
• Applejack: "It's true."
• Icky: "Wait, but what about when you were crying your eyes out for Applebloom and the crusaders joining into the Gala?"
• Applejack: "Tears of Joy. Not the inhered same as normal tears."
• Icky: "Ok, ok! Break it up, break it up! Now, as great as it is Garble more or less got over his pony hate, I hate to say that he's still stuck with Ne-Dork-Ious and the C-List losers. So, be sure to say your good-byes and-"
• Nefarious: "ACTSELLY...... I think I kinda want to arrange something...... You see, as a make up for over-reacting and, basicly wasted everyone's time and EVEN MORE of Team Nefarious funding, I'm willing to allow Garble a brief vacation from Team Nefarious service just to rekindle with Starlight and Sunset. I won't even attempt to make Garble hate ponies or even Celestia again. HOWEVER, Under the condition that you lougers keep true to your word that your NOT gonna attempt to capture and/or reform ANY Team Nefarious members UNLESS certain circumstances are met!"
• Lord Shen: "..... Well.... Surprisingly mature of you, doctor. Very well. Your terms are embraced."
• Bellwether: "But what do you mean by circumstances, sir?"
• Nefarious: "The obvious one being whenever the Lougers are ACTSELLY successful in locking me up, and for good! Another would be whenever I would deside to not have a certain member around anymore or if you guys have TRUELY lost your evil nerves to the point that I have to resort to dangerious extremes! They're, 50/50 chances at best."
• Icky: "Fair enough. But fair warning, Doc. Next time we meet and you deside to do something stupid again, it's business as usual."
• Nefarious: "And I look forword to it personally!"

Chapter 8: Garble Rekindles With His Friends

Later, at Twilight's castle

• Garble and his friends were seen togather by the Map.
• Garble: "...... Look..... Guys...... About not being able to help you guys out during the Guantlet...... I'm sorry..... I should've been a real team player, and I shouldn't've over-focused on Spike, even if he was gonna trashed the mission. It was not something Team Nefarious members should do.... Well, it varies on the current leadership and, Dah, I'm getting off tracked! What I am trying to say is.... Can you guys ever forgive me?"
• Clump: "....... Now who ever said we would never forgive you man?"
• Spear: "Yeah come on, bro! We should know better then that."
• Fizzle: "Dah, friends said alot of shit that ain't true, bro."
• Baff: "We wouldn't be any better then that Shineflare pony for being like that."
• Vex: "..... I never truely hated you from even when I was making it like I hated you now..... If, that makes sense."
• Garble was making a wiggly face.
• Garble: "..... You guys...... D'AW, CELEBATORY WRESLING ON ME, BOYS?!"
• The Dragon Teens hooted and Hollar as they started to fight eachother!
• Spike: "(Chuckles as he rolled his eyes), Typical Garble.... Kinda ashame he's gonna go back being a Nefarious pawn though."
• Starlight: "I know..... But it's ultamately better then Nefarious continuiously attacking Equestia. Say.... Where's Twilight?"
• Spike: "Let's just say..... She's going to inspire major change."

In Ponyville hall.

• A news anchur Pony: "This week in Equistia Daily, Twilight has made a VERY bold statement against the current Headmistress of te Unicorn Council, Shineflare, and has announced a campaign to have the controverseal pony replaced and removed from office. We now go live onto the Princess of Friendship's bold speech."
• Twilight: "It has come to my attention that Shineflare has commited countless acts of being a bad representation of us ponies AND even being a negitive influence to the rest of the council AND the general masses! Shineflare, ever since her personal tragity, has proven that she can't be relieable on making the right desitions, rather, prefering to do what she wants! This lead to celebrating a slayer's actions as heroic instead of being clearly the acts of an outdated murderor, wrongfully prosicuting dragons and mythics, even fellow ponies, in preference to her own idea of law instead of understanding the truth behind everything! As such, it lead to at least a good number of painful tragities and dishastors caused by the ever unreasonable Unicorn Council! That is why, I am asking for her impeachment and to replace her with someone who will know to handle the council much better! And I proudly introduse that such pony as someone who was the greatest Headmistress from Celestia's School of Gifted Unicorns...... Miss Twinkle Dust."
• A Slightly older Twinkle Dust took the stage with ponies applouding for her.
• Twinkle Dust: "..... This is such a commenditive honor, Equestia. Admitingly, there was once a time where I wasn't exactly a true improvement from Shineflare. I was even involved with allowing her to hurt another because the masses didn't understood the true story behind Garble, or misunderstood it at best. But now, I realised that even before recent events, that punishing poor Garble may've not been the best solution in hindsight. What's done is done, but that doesn't mean we should let Shineflare continue to make more Garbles, or More Preds, or who knows what else can she make things worse. We don't even know if Shineflare can change from her mind set ever since Pred Judu Des retired from being her idea of a hero. If she can, then it'll have to be away from office, cause it's a clear conflict of any such interest of changing herself for the better. I promise to make the Unicorn Council change from their false idelogical beliefs and change them for the better. Equestia deserves better then a known conspiractor, murderor celebrator, overkill punisher, even a member of a slayer group herself! Equestia, deserves change!"
• The Ponies cheer!
• News Anchur Pony: "You heard it first on Equestia Daily. Real change will come to Equestia when Twinkle challnages Shineflare in the electional races come this fall. Shineflare would finally be out of office."

Unicorn Council Office.

• The TV Displaying the news is suddenly zapped by magic!
• Shineflare was seen breathing heavily and angerly with her horn glowing......
• Shineflare: "...... HOW, DARE SHE DO THIS TO ME?! AFTER ALL I'VE DONE FOR EQUESTIA?! I WAS EVEN THE ONE WHO APPROVED HER ASENTION, AND YET SHE DOES THIS TO ME!? AND OVER THE SUNSET DRAGON ASSISTENT?! I AM GONNA ORDER HER TO BE TURNED BACK INTO A UNICORN FOR THIS!?"
• ???: I'm afraid that will not pass, Shineflare, because it is already too late. (Nightus and Heavenslight arrived)
• Shineflare: Oh, your highness and majesty! I, I can explain!
• Heavenslight: Not sure you can at this point. Twilight and our daughters called us to make sure you don't try to escape your trial or to try anything nasty. You know we're a higher authority than you.
• Nightus: Let's face it, Shineflare, you had to have seen this coming.
• Shineflare: AW, COME ON! WHY IS THAT PURPLE EGGHEAD ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME?!?... (Sighs)... Your majesties... Is... Is there ANYTHING I can do that will allow me to keep my title?
• Nightus: No.... But perhaps... You CAN stay in the Council as second-in-command. But that only depends on what the ponies decide for you.
• Heavenslight: Your crimes have left too much of a bad influence on ponies and non-pony creatures alike. There's bound to be more threats out there that you and Pred have created. And it seems that, like Pred, it must change for the better. Until then, you will be stripped of your Council Ascension charm and be placed into royal guard custody.
• Shineflare: BUT LOOK AT WHAT I HAVE DONE FOR EQUESTRIA!! I PROTECTED A LOT OF PONIES FROM THE LIKES OF MALEVOLENT FLAMES!! I WAS MERCIFUL TO A LOT OF PEOPLE! I-I-I-I just can't believe this is actually happening!
• Nightus: Oh, please. You knew this would come one day, and you brought it upon yourself by bringing harm in the relationships of Equestrian sentience alike. Just be grateful you might still be a member of the Council, but no longer as Headmistress.
• Heavenslight: So you are no longer going to give other races good reason to be against us. If we let you remain Headmistress any longer, more people like Garble, Rougber, Baku, and Malevolent Flames will be born! So this must be done. (They cast a spell on her that removes the charm that gives her increased power, and turns her into a regular Unicorn)
• Shineflare:... (Sobs)
• Heavenslight:... I know it's tough, Shineflare, but sacrifices must be made. You've had this coming for a long time. Now you are coming with us until Twilight's campaign is met and everyone is satisfied with this decision.
• Shineflare: JUST DROP ME INTO THAT DAMN CELL, LEAVE ME ALONE, AND LET ME LAMENT ON THE FACT THAT MY LIFE IS OFFICIALLY RUINED! PLEASE!! (Cries)
• Nightus:... (Sighs) Let's just teleport her there, we don't want the guards feeling too upset for her. (They teleported her to a cell)
• Shineflare: "...... Ughhhh. First Pred retiring, now this? What have I done wrong to deserve this?"
• ???: "There's enough to make a clip-show."
• The Lougers came in.
• Lord Shen: "Let's us start with the fact you covered-up Pred's attacks against those certain places DURING A HOLIDAY! There is the fact you asked Pred to attack Ms. Sparkle with one of my own fireworks to EMOTIONALLY MALMITULATE CELESTIA AGAINST US, then there was placing Blueblood in horrendus torture, then there was banishing Discord UNFAIRLY and through MALMITULATING MY WORSE FEELINGS FOR HIM, then there were the times you were painfully quick to try to take over Celestia's rightful place in whatever inconvincence she was in, AND YOUR EXTREMELY QUICK TO TURN ON HER FOR EVEN SOMETHING THAT EVEN THOUGH CONTROVERSEAL WAS FOR THE GREATER GOOD?! You also bring trouble to those of non pony origins about opening a place of business, and you honestly, HONESTLY, WOULD'VE RATHER LEAD DEATH COFFIN INADVERTINGLY DESTROY THE WORLD INSTEAD OF LETTING US DO A FAKE-OUT BETRAIL TO BRING HIM DOWN STRAGITICLY! AND I DON'T NEED TO REFERENCE YOUR SHOTTY ATTEMPT TO JUST BANISH STARLIGHT WITH RECKLESS ABANDON?! And those are the just the things THIS SERIES HAS SHOWN!?"
• Shineflare: "Ok, ok, FINE! Maybe I'm not the ideal Headmistress, but I'm still useful, aren't I? I helped you out from that Rougbar mess!"
• Icky: "Ya most likely did it to saved Pred's ass."
• Shineflare: "I, I approved that martical arts club!"
• Peng: "It was after you begrudingly allowed it after you made a foolish dare on defeating a relitively easy challnage that Pred failed in."
• Shineflare: "Hey come on now, I showed appresiation for you for not submitting to your crazy mother."
• Peng: "That's sadly only one of the very few things you did right."
• Shineflare: "Ugh..... Look! Fall isn't for awhile now anyway, and the news said that Twinkle won't become headmistress until then!"
• Icky: "And tecnecally, your right, but that doesn't mean you get to STAY in the head huncho position, for it would risk the latest stupid stunt of the week, which is why Glitters will take over until then. But the thing the ponies like to discuss about until then is what to do with you!"
• Shineflare: "..... (Sighs)..... For what it's worth, I HAVE been making some attempt to view mythic's in a postitve light."
• Shifu: "And we appresiate that. We just felt a proper punishment might help you take a better understanding in your morality."
• Shineflare: "A pretty extreme way, don't ya think? Ponies might not want me in the position anymore!"
• Icky: "Look, if it helps, Twilight will make everyone aware that your bullshit was tragity motivated, so, at the least, you'll only be removed as the council leader and be placed in a position where your kept from being a bad enfluence to peers and people awaiting judgement alike."
• Trixie: "And believe it or not, even Pred thinks you need this!"
• Shineflare: "If you think that'll shock me, then newsflash, he was already against me since after his declaration to being a deathless hero, as he, well, gave me the scorn talking I always known Pred for."

Flashback.

• Pred: "Miss Shineflare, don't take this too personally, but apawn my change of viewing the world, I realised that like Shred, YOU WERE A BAD ENFLUENCE ON ME?!"
• Shineflare: "But, Pred, not even I know what was really going on! How was anyone, even your famed family, suppose to know that Shred wasn't, uh, well in his mind!"
• Pred: "True. But you should've been a voice of reason for me. You didn't had to changed your viewpoint in light of your own troubles, but you should've at least tried to keep me from that position I was in. But no. All you did was encourage me the wrong way."
• Shineflare: "Look, if it's any consolation, I at least kept you safe from being LONG sent to Black Staillian Asylum or worse by those that wanted to harm you!"
• Pred: "But there was almost a time you weren't able to do just that. I was in another world, at the mercy of a bad tempered cyber dragon that really wanted me and my poor daughters dead! While you were most likely captured by now! Fluttershy was the one who ultamately saved me.... Well, that and the fact that crazy Tri-Corn was turned off. She still had the heart to forgive me and my girls even after what we did to the peacock on that event. And eventally, that kindness paid off when I started to make a real effort to protect Equestia without being part of a tainted, outdated tradition. And I hope you'll start thinking the same way, or otherwise it'll be doubtful if you stay on your high horse for long. Trust me, Shine, your sins will catch up in a big and painful way. Keep in mind about it."
• Pred left.

Present.

• Shineflare: "And wouldn't you believe that his warning was right? Here I am now, awaiting trail and possability won't even be allowed to defend my position come election day in the fall."
• Gazelle came in.
• Gazelle: "Well that's what happens when you let tragity be an excuse to hurt others over something the fault of a few bad apples. It'll only served to hurt you more."
• Shineflare: "Ohhh, right. You must be that, messiah and stuff. Look, as humbled as I am about your visit, isn't there like things you need to fix about the recent fiasco? Like, that oasis in the retiring area for the dragons?"
• Icky: "The High Council and this Oasis Keeper dude got that covered by now, and we'll contend with any corrupted elder dragons."
• Shineflare: "Well what about that retired once again brute Torch? Are you sure he's been cleansed? Corruption's very unpredictable you know!"
• Icky: "It's funny you mentioned him...."

Elsewhere

• Torch: Daughter, are you entirely sure that this charm will protect me from yet another corruption?
• Ember: Healzon is both a newly-ascended Dragon God and an Equinox Master. She'll give you something that will balance you out.
• Torch: Well, she had better not disappoint me. I really don't want becoming some other alien's patsy to become an everyday thing for me. That is NOT an ideal retirement plan for a retired dragon lord.
• Ember: "Not something I would look forword to either. Trust me."
• Healzon: Welcome, Dragon Lord Ember. Is your father prepared to be ammuned of future corruptions?
• Ember: He is.
• Healzon: Then I shall grant it to him. But keep in mind that this will not affect his personality in any way. His angry and brutal side will still remain, but that will no longer indicate that he can be corrupted so easily. It only purifies his heart, not his mind.
• Torch: I'll take it. I wish to never emotionally insult my daughter like that again, let alone be AGAINST what she feels is good for our race.
• Ember:...Thank you, dad.
• Torch: You know deep down I would never say such a thing. Though I am a bit iffy on your choice of helping Drakesis on his quest for peace between ponies and dragons, AND the fact that you are dating his son, cause it will feel VERY awkword to be in-laws with the guy I REALLY didn't liked in my youth, I will at least respect the fact that you make dragons' lives safer by making ponies clean up their prejudicial and selfish acts through peace.
• Healzon:... Well, your only half-right. It's also something dragons themselves need to learn to over-come. Our kind, isn't any better, but aside from that, well said, Torch. Well said. Now hold still as I begin the charm. (She flies up and turns into an Equinox form as she shines a purifying light upon Torch which goes on for 8 seconds until it all calms down)...
• Torch:... Don't seem to feel any different.
• Healzon: Again, it doesn't change your mind, but your heart. And it's not much to feel as long as you MAKE-
• Torch: Okay, please silence yourself before you sound like this is some kind of toddler's special.
• Ember:... I can tell that she's right on what she said. Still the same father I know, but is now no longer easy to corrupt.
• Torch: "Well, as long as there's implications of that it works, it's better then nothing. Can I go back to my retirement mountain cave now? Hasgore the Golden Skaled has plans to play giant shoffal board with those retired Titans from Saddle Arabia! We have a trophy to take back!"
• Ember: "Typical dad. A busy day of being cleansed from corruption and to be made ammuned of future insodents, you instintly think about sports."
• Torch: "Eh, it's a guys thing. One stressful day only leads to the yearning of sports and a good helping of booze then afterwords..... Say, whatever happened to that Garble dork?"
• Ember: "He's, catching up with an old friend."

Christail Empire.

• The Mirror was seen.
• Garble stood in front of it....
• Garble: "..... Uh, Spike, are you even sure Sunset would even reckindise me after so long? I'm OBVIOUSLY not the same "Garby" I once was! She'll just mistake me as some punk and-"
• Spike: "Wow. You lost your confidence rather quickly. And yet your the same guy who charged through the many trails of the Gauntlet of Fire ALMOST unsetached."
• Garble: "Hey, almost non-fatal booby traps are one thing, but, reuniting with someone who may not even remember you exist? Nothing sinks a friendship faster like a failed reunion cause of memory lost! Sunny has most likely forgotten about me considering, where, she went nuts for power! Heck, she might only remember me as one of those dragon goons from that alternate reality fiasco I heard about once when we did "Mock the Lougers Night" when we review the croncles episodes and mocked the Lougers in their falling of logic or bad hindsights and stuff! How do you know she'll even remember?"
• Spike: Easy. She'll recognize you. She may be experiencing a lot of human-like customs and problems in the world behind this mirror, but I'm sure she hasn't lived there long enough to forget about what she's been through in THIS world. She'll know you when she sees you.
• Garble:... I'm a little scared. Why don't I just meet her in THAT world?
• Spike: And let her see you as an unfamiliar dog? She'd DEFINITELY not recognize you.
• Garble:...I thought you said this world was populated by humans, and ponies who enter turn into them.
• Spike: Well... When I entered, I ended up being a dog. No denying the same thing would happen to you, except you'd probably be a bigger one... Like a Great Dane or something. But again, it's best to let her come through and see you. Twilight already wrote the message to have her come and expect 'someone special' to be there.
• Sunset: (They both waited as the portal acted up, and Sunset was seen on two of her legs as she immediately got back to a quadruped support)...
• Garble:... Sunny?
• Sunset:... I... Who is this?
• Garble:... Is she-
• Spike: Give her a moment.
• Sunset:... Wait... That voice... It's... Changed a lot from... I... Holy Celestia!... I can't believe I forgot... I...(She briefly shed a tear)... Garble!
• Spike:... See? I told you she would recognize you.
• Sunset: Where have you been? If you don't like me for walking out on you, I wanna say I'm sorry. I was just very bitter with my usual studies and I became too fascinated with what this mirror possessed. I got into a bit of trouble, and I completely forgot about what I had in my life.
• Garble:... I... I...
• Sunset:... Garble, are you okay?
• Spike:... Is there something you'd like to tell her?
• Garble:...I...I-I-I...
• Sunset:... What's up with him?
• Spike: He's just a little nervous having to see you again after so many years. You see, he's been through a LOT of crap since you and Starlight left.
• Sunset:... WAIT, I FORGOT ABOUT VEX, TOO!! SWEET JESUS, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE TWO OF YOU?!?
• Garble:... (Gulps)...
• Spike:... (Sighs) He's kinda speechless and scared of what you might think of him, so I'll give you the whole thing. Since you and Starlight left, he and Vex were placed in a summit with the Unicorn Council, Shineflare manipulated ponies into turning against the two, got them exiled to the Dragon Lands where they grew up in a troubled dragon environment, blamed ponies for something that was actually not that big of a deal, started hating them, nearly killed me for refusing to smash a Phoenix egg, joined Team Nefarious, later attempted to become Dragon Lord to crush pony civilization, lost to me, got embarrassed, lost his friends, got into some serious crap with Nefarious, and nearly got everything else into serious crap.
• Garble:... (Smiles nervously)
• Sunset:... Is THAT what you've been through?
• Garble: Sunset, I, I can explain! The ponies-
• Sunset: No, it's actually not that surprising to me. I could've taken a wild guess that the students of that school wouldn't want you there because of your rude actions on them. But I had no idea that the Unicorn Council would be involved.
• Spike: Well, luckily, since that incident was all Shineflare's fault, she's finally going to face the consequences of her misdeeds. There's a case coming soon that will decide her fate.
• Sunset: Well, I say good, because I would WANT her to pay for ruining Garble and Vex.
• Garble:... Sunset... I just don't get how you would end up in a world like...whatever is behind that mirror...without thinking about the consequences of leaving me alone. I had hoped that problem with you moping on and on about that mirror would eventually stop. It was shocking to hear that it got to you! Did that EVER cross your mind when you exiled yourself to that world?
• Spike:... Speaking of which... How exactly did your discovery of that world turn out for you?
• Sunset:... As you can guess by now... Like any fish out of water.

Flashback...

• (Sunset): Went through the same troubles that Twilight did upon HER discovery. Embarrassed myself through the Equestrian vocabulary, pony gestures, lack of magic, a lot of stuff. My actions seemed to get so much attention from bullies who posted the stuff on YouTube. I was shunned by so many people, and you can imagine how much that did to my tainted ambitious mind. It took me so many years to learn how to use a bipedal body. I was even stunned silent by how hairless these creatures were. I've never even HEARD of humans before I came through, and I never knew what...was underneath my...well, I'd rather not say. I admit, the creatures were charming, and had a bit of differences between their world and mine. They had devices that I could hardly manage even when I had the fingers to do so. These videos keep making me look bad for the following year in a half. This world confused me a whole lot. With hardly any answers and just asking a single person about them would make me look like some kind of freak, it took me so many years to actually USE my fingers. The practice was...hardly noticed. The same could be said for the rest of the new body. Long story short, it was really confusing. But over the next five years, I not only got better, and got to knowing this world a little more, but I saw some potential in it. All these creatures I never knew about, their curiosity, their strange and alien nature...they were vulnerable. I had been planning to use them for my plans for Equestria. And so, over the NEXT few years, I got better at understanding them, I blended in perfectly, I actually adapted and loved it, and I posed as a student with a home.
• (Spike):... Speaking of which...where exactly DO you live in that world?
• (Sunset):... I kinda pretended to be a disabled person who had a little bit of mental problems as an excuse for my 'strange' actions. I got a useful disability money program where I am generously donated paper money, and I afforded an apartment and some food. I must say, I was a bit disgusted when I heard that humans ATE meat, but...well...I ended up strangely trying some myself. I couldn't begin with how delicious it was, but I couldn't even fathom how insane I felt eating what was already living. But again, I learned quickly. But thankfully, once I changed and got some friends, and even got a decent celebrity status, I got my own independent money and I afforded my own house and even a new attire. Got tired of what I originally wore. But as you might already know from your first trip, I was Flash Sentry's girlfriend not only for popularity, but...well...let's just say he touched me on a personal level. It wasn't enough for me to LEGITIMATELY love him, but he was rather attractive. I felt embarrassed being attached to an alien creature I've never seen before. I even earned statuses as Princess of 3 Fall Formals in past years. I practically grew from being a washout fish out of water into a respected and serious person who knew how to manipulate people into doing whatever I want. Then came the day when you and Twilight showed up, and...
• Spike: (Came onto the screen) You stole our crown, we followed you there, you got us blacklisted on the Internet, AND almost had Twilight framed for wrecking a party, attempted to destroy the mirror back home, turned into a horrifyingly-raging she-demon who brainwashed all the students, and almost conquered Equestria until we stopped you, you changed your ways, and-

Present

• Sunset: (The screen faded away) You know, if you point out EVERYTHING I went through in those three movies, we're going to be here all day. I'm just waiting for that fourth one coming out this fall.
• Spike: "Well, point is, it was QUITE an emotional roller coster."
• Garble: ".... Well, Sunny, as great it is to see you, I... Kinda have to break some bad news here.... My time being away from Team Nefarious is.... Only brief. The Doc tends to be unbeleiveably touchy about losing members. I'm.... I'm kinda stuck with him until the Lougers actselly do have him jailed for good or if Nefarious does ever deside to retire me, Vex and some friends I made in faver of greater forces, and, we can't nessersarly predict when any of those would be the case. So, ya might wanna saver this moment as much as you can cause.... Once we both went our seperate ways, I'll have to go back to the doc and, ya know, basicly go back to do dumb crap until fate desides otherwise. But if it helps, I lost my pony-hating edge.... To an extent, I mean, I'm still likely to take jabs when it's convinent. I'm at best just a neutrol-opinioned grunt now and-"
• Sunset gives Garble a big hug.
• Sunset: "....... Our friendship, is not something even fate and destiny can truely seperate.... Whenever you gone power-mad for godhood, or basicly being a trouble-maker in service to c-list villains, no one is unworthy of anyone's friendship. Always remember that Garble, even when your taking Nefarious' orders, remember that when the day comes when Nefarious finally loses his edge, that you'll have friends to help you out of the messes you were involved in.... It was true for me. Until that day.... Try to avoid being TOO villainious. And make sure Nefarious stays clear of going too extreme."
• Garble: "..... Thanks Sunny..... And don't worry about that.... Let's just say, even before this mess happened, I stood clear of the Doc when he REALLY was gonna go to far this one time when he originally gotten hold of a freaky furturistic program. I, know when to back out on something to narly even for Fizzle to take up, and you would NOT beleive of what goes on in his mind! In fact, I am not gonna even talk about it! Trust me! You'll sleep better for not knowing!"
• Sunset:... I appreciate that, Garble. And thank you for at least giving us ponies a chance.
• Garble: No problem.
• Sunset:... Well... I'd better get going. They're about to showcase me and the Rainbooms on Saturday Night Live. I can actually use the Equestrian customs as a means of comedy. Sure most humans there think what I claim is just nonsense, at least it can be used for SOME advantages. We'll get to perform and do stand-up stuff.
• Spike:... There's a Saturday Night Live in that world?
• Sunset: Uh, yeah. But it's different from yours in so many ways. Well, I guess this is goodbye, Garble... For now.
• Garble:... (The two hugged again as Sunset went back through the portal)...
• Spike:... See? Was that so bad?
• Garble:... I hate to admit it, but you seem to be more mature than you seem given the fact that you believed in me.
• Spike: Thanks.
• Garble: "Yeah, well, don't forget squirt, (grabs Spike and starts noggeing him) Until the day comes, I'm still gonna mess with you every chance I get."
• Spike: "(Sighs), Typical Garble. Typical Garble."

Ponyville, a few days later.

• Garble and the Dragon Teens board the Team Nefarious ship as it proceeds to leave Equestia.
• Applejack: "..... Ya know, it's kinda bittersweet that even though Garble changed his feelings about Ponies, to an extent, it ain't gonna stop him from still being abit of a punk."
• Rarity: "Indeed it is. The sooner that eventual day Team Nefarious is disbanned indiffently, the better."
• Rainbow Dash: "Well, at least he's not a pony hater anymore.... Fully. Though he's likely to still have his doubts about our purity. Heck, I bet he still has issues with Celestia."
• Fluttershy: "Well, what we did accomplise with him is a step in the right direction."
• The Lougers, Kairi and Gazelle came in.
• Lord Shen: "Miss Gazelle, I am ever so sorry that the Equestia Tour was interupted by business as usual. I'll promise a completely uninterupted re-tour and-"
• Gazelle: "Oh don't worry. I'm not bothered at all. Seeing how you guys handle an instent problem is not burden to me. I won't mind having to wait to learn on Equestian History and Lore soon again. Until then, my first time here was- (Suddenly gets a migraine, screams for abit and falls down to the floor as everyone looks on shocked to what just happened!)!"
• Duke: "GISELLE!?"
• Icky: "Aw don't tell me the Uniter has a sezure problem! Then we can't afford to let her watch flashy anime!"
• Gazelle: "I, aggh, have no prior sezure history!? What is going on-"
• Gazelle gets a vision!

In Gazelle's vision.

• A Dark and Nefarious Machine was seen being build by silluetted birds, followed by plans to greatly damage planets with it and provoke universeal outrage. Followed by a growling squack with what looks like a metalic Vulture Skull quickly appearing onto the center with eyes that flashed red and blinded the scenery!

Vision ends.

• Gazelle freaked out as her eyes returned to normal.
• Duke: ".... You okay kid? You looked like you had a bad dream!"
• Gazelle: ".... I kinda did. What was that?"
• Shifu: "..... I beleive it is a Uniter Vision. A vision of the future that warns of a great and terrorable darkness about to happen."
• Gazelle: "..... Then in that case, did I ever gotten a very bad one! There was these alien birds making some kind of super-weapon and they're planning on using it against worlds, but not to destroy them, but to leave serious enough damage to provoke other beings to start an uproar! Then I saw this metalic vulture skull with red glowing eyes! The biggest thing is, this weapon looked super advance, beyonded ANYTHING Zootopia could even dream of being capable of and the birds don't look like anything seen in any world!"
• Shifu: "Hmmmm...... That sounds like the vision is summoning you to the Alternate Universes. Perhaps there is a new threat on the rise and it appears that you are in need to put a stop to it."
• Icky: "Well if that's true, then how come our pals in the HA haven't-"
• The communicator begins ringing!
• Spongebob picks it up.
• Spongebob: "Yello, Shell Louge Squad, Spongebob speaking..... Oh Hey Xandy...... What's that? You need us to investigate rumors surrounding a controverseal fuedulent demockiry island planet of birds with a known history of messing with something they shouldn't've? The Grand Council said it was urgent? Well, ok, we'll be on our way. We just need to drop Kairi off first."
• Icky: "..... Ok, NOW they did."
• Shifu: "Miss Gazelle, it appears you have been giving your first mission as a Uniter to protect a universe from a massive threat."
• Gazelle: "Really? This, thing about Garble didn't count?"
• Icky: "You were kinda underused in this episode, so yeah, this adventure didn't count cause you didn't get to do jacksqaut."
• Gazelle: "..... In that case, I'll do whatever I can to stop what's happening."

Epilogue

Skullian Prime.

• The Architect looked onto the leaving Shell Louge Van leaving Equestian space....
• Architect: "...... I see the Lougers are taking the Uniter on her first mission to protect the alternate universes from a great and dark problem..... Good.... An oppertunity to see how truely strong the Uniter is..... Even more then her powers alone already having drained half of my usual power...... Also.... I wonder if Titan will have an interest in this particular "Weapon" the Uniter predicted."
• The TV Screen came up and showed Titan.
• Titan: "I so very much do, boss! But only in terms of it's tec! I consider some parts of that weapon impourent for a major ongoing project my two top guys need to make it able to do what I want with it!"
• Architect: "Well, unfortunately, it's likely the lougers meant to destroy the very device itself. It holds no chance of surviveal."
• Titan: "A sad but true fact. That's why I'm gonna send Fem and the Enforcers to sneak in and snag some skematics from the smug wiseguys messing with the powerful weapon. They'll be under disguises that no one will suspect trouble from them."
• Architect: "Good.... But be sure they are as far away from the Lougers and the Uniter as much as possable. She's capable of visions now. Even just being seen once by her and your plans will shatter like a glass house of cards!"
• Titan: "Ya mean like one of the Leage's Junjie's attempts at wasting the Lougers? Ya don't need to tell me twice! I'll be sure to deliver a strict no contact onto the misfits order! Fem knows when to remain unseen. She is a master criminal after all of my own tuterings."
• Architect: "I stressed the impourence of being cautious reguardless. Keep in mind that Sopony has still left us without the ability to wipe memories."
• Titan: "Tell me about it. I'll make sure the order is known, boss."
• The TV turned off and went up.
• Krin-Nom came in.
• Krin-Nom: "...... I want to be reminded again sir..... Why assusiate yourself with the Mafia Allience? You know Titan is only with you to take advantage of our relics and weapons to make crime stupidly easy to do. I mean, I know about what the Dragozaurs did to him in the past, but, are we sure he is truely devoted to the Darkspawn cause?"
• Architect: "I don't expect him to truely be loyal to the cause. And I have no complaints about his true intentions behind being assusiated with me. I consider him extremely impourent to keep me in touch of the villainy of the universes, even more so thanks to the rise of the Uniter, Krin-Nom. But make no mistake. One day, I will tab enough to his darkness and make him a true devoter to the Darkspawn. He will soon be changed from just being in only such entry levels of wickedness and be a true servent of darkness, and not just a servent to crime and greed."
• Krin-Nom: ".... What about the possabiity of him being cautious around you?"
• Archtiect: "Why else do we rarely physically met? He knows we darkspawn are a corruptive and tricky sort, and he knows that if I have choosen to be so, I would easily turn him into a true servent of darkness, and not just another lord of crime. As such, I am cautious enough to be careful of the possability that his interest in Darkspawn magic would cease and decisted. In fact, during my stay at his lair, I litterally had to pass up oppertunities to re-earn his trust on that, to an extent. He is however still very weary of my attempts to dispose of the Lougers, and has indeed admit some moral concerns about what I plan to do with the Darkness Ooze and the Mythos Christails."
• Krin-Nom: "Ahh, so, giving him our artifacts is just to keep him from leaving us, yes?"
• Architect: "In a way. Though it helps to make sure to have plans that don't risk his business in the progress. He is clearly unafraid to express criticisum when his business gets harmed during my attempts to end the Lougers. Even more so on what happened with Warface."
• Krin-Nom laughed.
• Krin-Nom: "Ya mean that stupidly named waring planet? Why would people named their homes like that? That's only asking to have be nothing but war and-"
• Architect: "BESIDES THE POINT, YOU IMBACILE?! Now kindly see yourself out before I asked the guards to disaplen you again!"
• Krin-Nom: "(Gulp). Well said sir."
• Krin-Nom cartoonishly runs away!
• Architect: "Ugghhhhhhhh. No wonder Krin-Nom has been dubbed as The Darkspawn of Tomfoolery and Incompidence..... Why do we even HAVE a darkspawn like that? Was he meant to be some kind of jester or something? I didn't even know we darkspawn even had an appresiation for humor.... Well, dark humor anyway.... But I diegress. (Resumes watching the Lougers' van). You misfits don't know it, but I am in a kingpin situation with you. Even if you win, the skematics of that device you sought to destory will fall into Titan's grip, then once so... I'll ask to share some of that with me so I can use some parts of the weapon as a factory to regulate the Darkness Ooze and the Mythos Christails to morth them into christails of my own design.... But.... It wouldn't hurt to see if I can have that, and see if I can have these aimless fanactics do you misfits in as well.... Either way..... I would only be a step closer to my ultamate goal.... (Laughs sinisterly)."
