Chapter 5: The Crystal Heist
Back outside Hitch has finally arrived at the top of the cliff as he climbed to the top which made two ponies hop away in fright before they saw Hitch which made them hop to him and nuzzle him which made Hitch look in disbelief before he turns to the far edge of the cliff where a sticker of an Unicorn was seated which made him gasp in disbelief
"Litter!" Hitch called out in shock before talking normally again "I mean, a clue" Hitch said before he looks to the side before he saw (Y/N)'s (F/C) hat "(Y/N)'s hat!" (Y/N) gasped in shock before he went and sniffed on some of Izzy's light blue mane "Unicorn mane" Hitch said before he walks over to a Pegasus feather and pulls it up before licking it "Pegasi" Hitch said before he moves his ear to the ground below "Track's gone cold" Hitch said before pulling his head up as he then started talking to himself which made a lot of bunnies think he was acting "Guys, guys, guys, guys, you think you've escaped? Well think again, I will not eat! I will not sleep!" Hitch said before realizing something "Well maybe a quick nap and snack if I can't find you in the next few hours BUT! After that nothing will stop me!" Hitch called out before bunnies started cheering and clapping "Oh" Hitch realized before turning to the bunnies and chuckling while bowing down "Thank you, thank you, no, no, you're too kind" Hitch thanked before starting again "ALSO!" Hitch called out as the bunnies silenced except for one which caused another to shush it "I'll follow you wherever you go! Whether harshest deserts, the cold tundra's, no trail to dangerous, no clue to small!" Hitch called out before the clouds splitted apart which made the bunnies chitter and try to get Hitch's attention "The past matters not! It's justice---" Hitch started before he saw some bunnies chittering and when he did they all pointed to what seemed to be Zephyr Heights "What? What?" Hitch asked before turning around which made him smirk in happiness as he saw three ponies on the banners of sorts which were no doubt Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) "Gotcha" Hitch said with a smirk before he saw the last pony "Huh? Who's that?! Well, I'll find out when I arrive" Hitch said
Hitch then galloped off ready to arrest the three ponies
Meanwhile in the castle Zipp opened a lid which led to the basement before she jumped in with (Y/N) following after her only to fall on his head making him sit up and rub the top of his head
"Ugh! I swear this is too dangerous!" (Y/N) said in disbelief
Zipp then went to help (Y/N) up
"You alright?" Zipp asked
"Yeah, I'm fine" (Y/N) answered
Zipp then turned to the two other girls
"Watch your step" Zipp suggested
Sunny then jumped down as (Y/N) catched her before she let's her go to the side as he did the same to Izzy and when the four were all down Zipp pulled the lever which made the giant basket float down as the three ponies went to the edge and saw the entire inside ground which made all three gasp in awe as Zipp joined in and hung on the rope before they stopped at the ground
"Where are we?" Sunny asked
The four then went out of the basket as Zipp turned to them
"It's amazing, right?" Zipp asked
"Of course but what was this used for previously? I mean it looks a lot dustier than the rest of the castle" (Y/N) asked
"I'm pretty sure it was some sort of station for when Earth Ponies and Unicorns used to visit Zephyr Heights, it's like everypony just... Forgot" Zipp answered sadly
Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) then went to some picture on the side as Sunny wiped the dust off before she saw that it was her home lighthouse making (Y/N) tear up as he remembered what his mom said a long time ago
[Flashback Start]
"(Y/N), I've always been adventuring with my friends a long time ago when I was just young they were Phyllis, Queen Haven and Alphabittle, but one day when we were adventuring we noticed some weird place right behind the woods, a place which cursed my friends to fight with each other as they were all broken apart, the lands we've seen was a bit like the Dark Lands, once we went in there none of us were the same again and when they returned I saw them forcing ponies to create either planks which won't allow ponies in, a rich country where everypony gets phones, tablets and more and of course our hometown where Phyllis made Canterlogic which was the source of all the terrible items they made if Unicorns and Pegasi were to return and once I went back home I was pregnant with you especially since Alphabittle was my boyfriend before he heard about what I had in mind after that I've never been able to return to Bridlewood, your original hometown" (Y/N) explained
[Flashback End]
After remembering this (Y/N) broke down which Izzy and Sunny noticed
"You okay (Y/N), are you having terrible memories again?" Izzy asked
"No, it's just I remembered something about my mom's past from these picture" (Y/N) answered sadly
After that Izzy and Sunny gave (Y/N) a hug which (Y/N) sobbed on and when all was done Sunny looked up and also saw the Bridlewood picture
"This is proof! All pony kinds used to be friends! My dad and (Y/N)'s mom's friend was right" Sunny said in realization before she along with a teary eyed (Y/N) and Izzy trotted on over to Zipp who was sadly looking at a Wonderbolts poster "It must be really weird being the only Pegasi that can fly" Sunny said worriedly
Zipp then looked down in sadness which made (Y/N) worried as he puts an hoof around Zipp's back
"The truth is we can't fly either, we've been faking it" Zipp explained
"I feel you Zipp, I was also forced to fake my past along with my mom because we were living in Maretime Bay while being Unicorns, I also felt like a bit of an outcast back then" (Y/N) explained sadly
"Tell me about it, we all were there" Izzy said in sadness
"But still, faking it?! But... But how?! Sure (Y/N)'s story is foolproof but yours! I'm confused at it!" Sunny said worriedly
Zipp then sadly removes (Y/N)'s hoof before walking over to a giant blackboard
"You'd be surprised what some wires and good lightning will do but I'm just so tired of living that ridiculous lie" Zipp explained
"Well, then what do you do to get out of this situation?" (Y/N) asked
"Well, I come down here to get away from all that and well... To do this" Zipp answered
Zipp then started running as she uses her tail to move the lever which caused air to go out of the vent and her to jump up into the air and fly with her wings spread out to feel the wind brushing through her veins
"Well that's some way to get some fresh air" (Y/N) said in disbelief
In the meantime Sunny and Izzy were looking in awe from all the stunts she does on it before Izzy saw something that only she can see
"Her sparkle is so bright right now!" Izzy said in awe
"I kinda have to agree although I don't know what a sparkle is" (Y/N) said
Zipp then went off of the air machine and flew back down to the ground before going to the window next to the four and landed on the ground
"But that's not why I brought you guys down here" Zipp explained before turning to the window sill above while pointing at it "This is what I wanted to show you" Zipp explained
The four then turned to look at it before they saw a window sill which in the middle had the Cutie Mark symbol of Twilight's titular purple and white stars
"Oh my stars...!" Sunny gasped in shock
"I agree, this looks beautiful" (Y/N) agreed
Sunny then looked at the book along with Izzy and (Y/N) as Zipp continued to explain
"This was made a long, long time ago, when we still had magic" Zipp explained
"It's beautiful!" Izzy called out in shock
Sunny then turned to look at the right of the windowsill before she saw a Pegasus flying after some green 'U' like shaped crystal
"What is that?" Sunny asked
"That's the Pegasus crystal, it's part of my mom's crown" Zipp explained
Sunny then went to the other side before she noticed a hole in the window
"Where's the Unicorn crystal?" Sunny asked as her friends shrugged before she went to some sort of blanket that laid on the ground which made her pull it off as it showed a blue pointy like shaped crystal reflection as she looks to the other reflection crystal on the side which made her move it on top of the green crystal "Look!" Sunny called out
After calling that out her three friends approached her as Izzy got confused
"They fit?" Izzy asked
"It's just like my mom said her friends fought over three crystals but there are only two here, where's the third?" (Y/N) thought
"These two crystals belong together, united" Sunny explained
"Wow! I didn't know that! Looks like history hasn't been fully fortold" (Y/N) said in shock
"Maybe" Sunny thought
"So... What are you two saying?" Zipp asked
"Maybe you lost your magic because the crystals were separated" Sunny answered
"Yes and as far as I know there's three crystals, the one from the Unicorns..." (Y/N) explained which made Izzy confused "Pegasi..." (Y/N) continued as Zipp looked at the ground thinking "And Earth Ponies which nobody has found just yet" (Y/N) finished which made Sunny shocked
"What are you talking about?" Sunny asked
"I'm not sure but from what I know a certain hero told me there were three crystals two which haven't been found yet and one that's on your mom's crown Zipp" (Y/N) answered
"So if we put them back together..." Izzy started
"Magic will return?" Zipp finished asking
Sunny then began cheering excitedly
"And all three pony kinds will get along again!" Sunny answered excitedly
"All right!" Zipp said before she realized something "But what about the Unicorn crystal?" Zipp asked
"Well, if you're looking for crystals, we've got like a gazillion of them back in Bridlewood!" Izzy answered
"Then that's where we'll go next after we get the Pegasus crystal from your mom of course" Sunny said
"Yes, so as I will say now! For our friends...!" (Y/N) started before Izzy interrupted
"For our families...!" Izzy called out before Zipp interrupted
"For our homes...!" Zipp called out before Sunny interrupted
"For Equestria!" Sunny called out
Just then Zipp realized something
"Still that'll be tricky she uh, never takes her crown off" Zipp said in worry
The screen then flashes to Zipp's mom Queen Haven doing lot's of stuff starting with Queen Haven sleeping with a sleeping mask with the Royal dog along side her wearing the same sleeping mask, the next scene showed Queen Haven showering while rubbing a brush across her back
"Keeping the Queen cleeeeen..." Queen Haven sang
The next scene showed Queen Haven putting on a swimming hat before leaping off the diving plank with her wings spread out before falling into the water
"And you decided to tell us that now?!" (Y/N) asked
"I'm sorry, it just slipped my mind" Zipp answered nervously
"It's alright Zipp so what do we do now?" Sunny asked
"I got it! Pipp's performing at tonight's royal celebration, all eyes will be on her especially my mom's, she'll be distracted so we just need to swap the real crown with the fake" Zipp suggested
"Oooh, I can craft a decoy! But I will need a box of macaroni, a tube of glue, fourteen gooey bunnies and three jelly beans, oh and glitter, lot's of glitter" Izzy suggested
"Alright and I'll help Zipp and Sunny bring the shopping bag to her all I need is some spy glasses, a black hoodie and some rope" (Y/N) suggested
"Then I'll do the shopping" Zipp said
"Alright, let's get to it then girls" (Y/N) said
After a while of getting (Y/N) and Sunny's stuff prepared Zipp, Sunny and (Y/N) left as Zipp went to the shop and went inside
"I'll get the supplies" Zipp said before the screen changed to her giving (Y/N) the bag who used his super speed and strength to get on top of a roof and drop the bag to Sunny "(Y/N) will go and pass them off to Sunny" Zipp explained before Sunny ran to get the bag to Izzy who was prepared for her return "And then she will get them to you" Zipp explained before the screen changed back to the station where Izzy crafted the same but macarony crown "Once you produce the decoy, get your flanks to the palace" Zipp explained before the screen changed to nighttime where a few ponies were looking at the Zephyr Heights castle while a few other ponies trotted inside Everypony who's anypony will be there so security will be tight" Zipp suggested as the screen then changed to her, Pipp and Queen Haven walking out of the elevator and through the crowded pathway full of photographers who were calling out to Zipp as she looked over to her three friends who were sneaking out of the elevator and into the castle "I'll distract them so you can sneak in" Zipp explained
Just then Izzy interrupted
"Maximum sneaky!" Izzy suggested
The two then went behind the guards before heading inside
"You'll need to be stealthy, carefully make your way to the Grand Hall but watch out for the guards" Zipp suggested as Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) were then seen running through the halls before stopping as they saw two guards from before which made them go underneath a tablecloth which laid on some sort of cart as the trio moved the cart slowly to the other side while trying to not being seen before Zipp lead the trio to the backstage place "I'll open the door to the backstage of the throne room" Zipp explained before Zipp presses a button next to the door which made it glow green as Izzy, Sunny and (Y/N) ran inside the backstage of the throne room as the trio then ran to the throne room as they went to sit and hide behind some of the thrones "And once Pipp starts singing my mom will be so caught up that swapping the crowns will be easy-breezy" Zipp finished explaining
(Y/N) then looked to the side which shocked him as he looked at the top of the balcony where Zipp came from before
"Easy breezy, seriously?!" (Y/N) asked in disbelief and worry
Meanwhile on the top of the balcony Queen Haven was seen using some sort of brush against her cheeks which made a few of the make up come on the cheeks while Zipp was looking at her friends below before Queen Haven talked to her
"I hear you paid our guests a visit" Queen Haven said in worry
"Pipp told you?" Zipp asked
"Oh, you know, she tells me everything" Queen Haven answered before turning to Zipp "I wish you would tell me more, you're going to be queen one day, you'll wear this crown and trust me it is heavier than it looks" Queen Haven explained
"Actually, there is something I wanted to tell you, the Unicorns don't have any magic, I-I think it's tied to why we can't fly and I---" Zipp started
"Zephyrina! I don't know what silly ideas that Unicorn put into your head but we have a duty to protect our citizens, The Pegasi are happy enough knowing that we royals can fly why would you want to disrupt things?" Queen Haven asked
"Because it's a lie!" Zipp answered angrily
"It makes them feel safe" Queen Haven said before she turned around while sighing "One day you'll understand, your sister does" Queen Haven said before Pipp floats by while not actually flying "Oh and here she is now!" Queen Haven called out
"Me-me-meeeee!" Pipp sang
"Showtiiiiiime!" Queen Haven called out
Somepony from the crew then called out
"We are go for launch" Somepony in the crew then called out
https://youtu.be/8IoL90JrpZ0
After that the crowd cheered as the lights dimmed and Queen Haven, Pipp and Zipp floated down towards the throne room full of ponies
"Remember to smile!" Queen Haven ordered
After that Zipp groaned in disbelief as she along with her sisters began to float down as everypony in and out the castle looked at the royals flying
[Pipp Petals:]
(Glowin' up, kind of love)
(Dip and slide, through the cut)
After singing that Zipp and Queen Haven landed on their respective thrones while Zipp looked at Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) all three of them who were looking with determined looks at each other
(Glowin' up, kind of love)
(We say 'hi' You say 'What')
After that a light shines on top of Pipp as she was seen in the air flapping her wings while singing
We got the light, we're coming in stronger, we're in it together
After singing that Pipp flew above the crowd in circles smiling and flying to the rhythm
If you want it, it's all inside your mind
We got the light, won't wait any longer we'll get it together
After singing that Sunny went on top of Izzy trying to balance while (Y/N) stood on his two hind legs stretching his arms ready to protect her if she falls as Sunny tried to reach for the crown which made her duck again
If you want it then you can paint the sky
"This is gonna be harder than I thought" (Y/N) thought
Sunny then decided to give it another chance as she goes back up ready to swap the crowns with Zipp looking at her in worry
[Pipp Petals:]
Used to care what they'd say, let 'em into my brain
Sunny soon managed to swap the crowns which made her and Zipp nod in happiness before Sunny went backstage again as she, Izzy and (Y/N) cheered silently in happiness
But I found a new way, ooh-ooh-ooh!
(Y/N) then led Sunny and Izzy through the way as they went towards one of the doors as the Pegasi dog felt a disturbance in the area which made him follow after the three ponies as the three ponies arrived at the door which (Y/N) opened before he notices a guard on the phone with somepony else being distracted
"No, you hang up" The guard suggested
Just then (Y/N) gasped in shock and quickly closed the door before motioning his friends to go after him as they turned around before they saw the Pegasi dog growling at them which made them worried as they ran off in fright after (Y/N) with the Pegasi dog following after them
[Pipp Petals:]
We don't fly like we used to we take what we've been through
and we can feel brand new
Soon the trio arrived at the door as Sunny opened it before Hitch was seen in the doorway which made (Y/N) and Sunny gasp in worry as Hitch was angry
"Sunny Starscout, you are under arrest---" Hitch started
(Y/N) then quickly closed the door before Hitch could do something as the Pegasi dog then flew for the trio as (Y/N) decided to attack him as he kicked the Pegasi dog into the air sending it flying before (Y/N) motioned Sunny and Izzy to run after him to which they did before Hitch galloped into the room seeing that they were gone
[Pipp Petals:]
I'm shining brighter, ooh-ooh-ooh!
Glowin' up, kind of love
Dip and slide, through the cut
Glowin' up, kind of love
Dip and slide, through the cut
Hitch then turned around and saw his butt dancing to the beat which he glared discomfortably at before walking forward in search for both Sunny and (Y/N)
Glowin' up, kind of love
Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) continued to run towards another pair of doors before they saw two guards which made them hide behind a pillar in worry before Sunny looked to the side and saw the Pegasi dog running up to Queen Haven
We say 'Hi' you say 'What'
Everywhere that I've been they say I'm different
The Pegasi dog soon arrived in front of the throne steps barking as he was trying to get Queen Haven's attention before Zipp got worried and approached him trying to stop him
But I'm good in my skin ooh-ooh-ooh
Zipp then arrived at the Pegasi dog and covered his mouth as muffling barks came out
"Be... Quiet... Now... Please!" Zipp ordered angrily trying to shut him up
[Pipp Petals:]
If it doesn't feel right, break it in with tie-dye
The Pegasi dog then got out of Zipp's grasp making him run away as Zipp ran after him in anger trying to shut him up
And don't you stop 'till sunrise
We don't fly like we used to, we take what we've been through
And we can feel brand new ooh-ooh-ooh
Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) continued to look for where Zipp went before they saw Hitch walking to them in anger which made them go behind the curtains where the pony working on the tech was who looked at them frightened from their sudden appearance
"It's the prisoners!" The worker called out in fright
The worker then began running in circles which made Izzy, Sunny and (Y/N) worried as they ran after him
"No, no, no! Shh! Shh!" Sunny ordered
"Quiet!" Izzy ordered
Meanwhile Pipp continued to sing
[Pipp Petals:]
I'm shining brighter ooh-ooh-ooh
Zipp in the meantime was continuing to chase the Pegasi dog before somepony blocked her path which caused the Pegasi dog to turn back to him while running before bumping into Hitch which made him look down at it in confusion causing the Royal dog to look at Hitch in awe
We got the light, we're comin' in stronger
Meanwhile Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) continued to try and keep the technician type of pony calm
"It's okay, don't be scared!" Sunny suggested
"We're not gonna fry your brain, okay" Izzy said
"Way to ruin the mood Iz" (Y/N) said in disbelief
The pony in the meantime got more frightened before he accidentally pressed a button which caused the lights to turn off and on a few times
"What the?" Pipp asked in shock
Just then the lights switched on to Hitch who got a bit confused along with a few other Pegasi
"Uhh..." Hitch started before he began dancing and singing fakely
[Hitch Trailblazer:]
Throwin' up, find a glove
Fly around up above
Doin' stuff that I love
You're like 'why' I'm like 'what'
The ponies back in the control room then looked at Hitch in confusion before (Y/N) facehoofed
"Isn't that the least of his worries" (Y/N) thought in disbelief
"What is happening?" Pipp asked
[Hitch Trailblazer:]
Crisp and dry, eat some mud
Glowing up, lovey dove
Zipp then noticed that the Royal dog was gone while in the control room the controller started running around in worry pressing all kinds of buttons which caused the lights to change again and again and also caused Pipp to go flying all over the place before the controller ran out of the room with Sunny, Izzy and (Y/N) walking out after him as Zipp walked over to them
"I got it!" Zipp called out
"Yes!" Sunny called out happily
"Then let's go! The more we stay in this place the more we get into trouble!" (Y/N) called out
The trio then started to run before Hitch turned to them and pointed after that
"Freeze!" Hitch called out
After that Sunny, Izzy, (Y/N) and Zipp stopped and turned to Hitch while the other Pegasi turned to the four on the other side
"It's the prisoners!" Somepegasi called out
Just then Pipp flew over Hitch which caused his made up wings to fall off
"Another Earth Pony!" Another Pegasi called out in shock
After that Hitch ran off as Pipp continued to swing before suddenly stopping upside down which made the crowd gasp in shock
"She's a fake!" Somepegasi called out after
"Fake!" Some other Pegasi called out after
Somepony else then took a picture of Pipp hanging upside down
"The royals can't fly either?!" A third Pegasi called out in shock
Pipp then looked at Zipp who was running off with his friends before Zipp looked back at her with sadness in her eyes as (Y/N) then noticed Pipp in trouble which made her run back for her
"(Y/N), no!" Zipp called out
"Like I would say if we were not in danger no man left behind!" (Y/N) called out
(Y/N) then ran out deep into the crowd as Pipp whispered to Zipp in worry and sadness
"Zipp...?" Pipp called out
Zipp then wanted to go after (Y/N) and Pipp before Sunny called out to her bumping too in the meantime
"Zipp, hurry!" Sunny ordered
Zipp then looked back at Pipp for a few more minutes as ponies were all letting out silent calls before she ran off in sadness hoping for the best
