Curse of the Windmill Vandals

When a farmer requests the gang's help in figuring out why undead vandals haunt his farm and his windmill and the gang figure out because of a curse that happened over 250 years ago
== Script ==
(We open on nighttime at a farm where a windmill is blowing in the background and we cut to inside the farmhouse where we see the farmer of the land watching tv and we cut back to the windmill which breaks down and we cut back to the farmer)
Niles:Ah nuts. Dern windmill.
(Takes the tool bag and goes out to the windmill and he climbs up the wood holding the windmill)
Niles:Now to fix this dadgum windmill. (Sees something off in the distance)What the? What's this?
(The Windmill Vandals gallop on their horses and circle the windmill)
Niles:Huh? This ain't no place for a rodeo! Get offa my property!
(The skeletal vandals look up at him and hiss and he gets scared and spins the windmill and uses the wrench to fix it and this causes them to dissapear and we cut to him)
Niles:Boy howdy. Better get back to the house. I can fix it in the mornin'.
(Cuts to inside the living room where he reads the newspaper and finds something)
Nile:Huh?
(Cuts to an article about the Canterlot Mystery Solvers with Spike, Winona, Gloriosa Daisy, Timber Spruce, Bulk Biceps, Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer, Big Macintosh, Applejack, Apple Bloom, Wallflower Blush, Juniper Montage, Trixie Lulamoon, Snails, Twilight Sparkle and Sandalwood and the headline reads SWAMP MONSTER OF LOUISIANA FAKE EXPOSED BY CANTERLOT MYSTERY SOLVERS, Spike holds a grassy leaf looking monster mask in his mouth and we cut back to Niles)
Niles:This could be promisin'. I gotta get these kids and their dogs to help figure out what them skeleton things were.
(Gets out phone and dials the number and says into it)
Niles:Hello? Canterlot Mystery Sovlers? I've got a job for ya? Couldja come right over?
(We fade to the Canterlot Cruiser driving down the road at daytime)
Flash:(OS)So we're gonna go to a farm and help a farmer figure out why skeleton looking vandals are terrorizing his farm?
(Cuts to the windsheld where we see Big Mac driving and Rarity beside him and Twilight riding shotgun and everyone else is in the back)
Big Macintosh:Eyup, that's it Flash. 
Flash:Ok i was just recaping notes.
(We cut to the back where Snails and Spike share a large submarine sandwich)
Spike:Mmmm, delicious. This is a good sub sandwich.
(Cuts to Wallflower)
Wallflower:And we've caught the Swamp Monster of Louisiana.
Juniper:It was only a jewel thief.
Rarity:(OS)Yes. (Cuts to her)And he was only using the Swamp Monster of Louisiana to steal the jewels. Well find them at least because he hid them in the swamp.
(Back to scene)
Bulk:And we caught him and sent him to jail. Everyone in town was telling us not to interfere in the mystery of New Orleans. But we can't resist a mystery.
(Cuts to Timber)
Timber:Yup, you're right about that Bulk.
Apple Bloom:(OS)Yup. (Cuts to her and Winona)An' Winona an' i were finding clues and that's when we saw the monster.
Winona:Yeah, he was rooting through trash cans. And he left a map. Which was the main clue.
(We cut to Big Mac)
Big Macintosh:Hate to interupt Winona but we're here.
Winona:(OS)Already?
Big Macintosh:Eyup.
(The pull up to the farm and go up to the house where Niles answers the door)
Niles:Howdy kids. And welcome to my farm.
(Cuts to the gang)
Applejack:Are you Niles Galette?
Niles:(OS)That's me l'il lady.
(Cuts back to him)
Niles:I'm the one who called you. I saw your case about the Swamp Monster of Louisiana and that's what made me turn to you for help.
(Cuts back to the gang)
Gloriosa:So what's the problem exactally? Scarecrow? Ghosts? Ghost scarecrows? Ghosts of the farmers before you who onces owned the farm?
Niles:(OS)Good heavens no. (Back to scene)It's vandals. Like i told you kids over the phone.
(Cuts to Spike who cowers in fear)
Spike:Vandals?! You mean like horseback riding men?
Niles:(OS)That's right l'il dog. (Cuts back to him)You see, my great-great grandfather Jiles Galette once owned this here farm. Everyone was depended on water wheels to make the land perfect. It was build by a horde of vandals. But when the water dried up, my great-great grandfather was the only man with a working mill. The vandals hated him for that. But he kept the vandals at bay by carving magical symbols into the blades of the windmill wheel.
(Cuts to Trixie)
Trixie:Magical symbols you say? Hmmmm.
(Back to him)
Niles:As i was saying, He carved them into the windmill wheel. And legend has it if the windmill ever stops turning. The vandals will rise from the dead and seek vengence on all who posses it.
(Cuts to Gloriosa)
Gloriosa:Could that mean you?
(Cuts back to Niles)
Niles:Course it means me.
(Cuts to Trixie)
Trixie:Why not just leave?
Niles:(OS)I can't! (Back to him)This here's my home!
(Cuts to Flash)
Flash:Don't worry Farmer Galette. We'll investigate this mystery.
(Back to him)
Niles:Thank ya kindly kids.
(A van with four men come up to the house)
Niles:(As the gang turn to see what he's talking about)Oh boy. It's them.
Spike:The Windmill Vandals?!
Niles:No even worse. The archeologists. They've been tryin' to make me lend my farm to them for an excavating site so they can have it for their own archeoligical dig.
(The lead archeologist says)
Lead Archeologist:Afternoon Mr. Galette. Figured on selling your farm?
Niles:No! I ain't sellin' my farm! Ya can't make me!
(The others are seen scolping the grounds as the leader is talking)
Lead Archeologist:Come now Niles. You know you want us to do it. Why just look at my men. Already at work.
Winona:Well we're going to work ourselves!
Applejack:That's right Winona.
Winona:We'll expose the Windmill Vandals.
Lead Archeologist:So you kids and your dogs think you can catch the Windmill Vandals eh?
Winona:Yeah! You wanna make something out of it?!
Lead Archeologist:(Mocks fear)Oh no. I'm terrified.
(They leave and the Lead Archeologist says)
Lead Archeologist:We'll get this land one way or another.
(They drive off in their van)
Flash:Don't worry Mr. Galette. We'll investigate and catch the Windmill Vandals.
Niles:Yeah, well i'd appreciate it if ya do it fast cause i might as well sale my farm to the archeologists.
Timber:No! We can't let you do that!
Gloriosa:My little brother's right! We'll catch whoever it is behind this.
Bulk:YEAH! LET'S DO THIS! AND CATCH THESE VANDALS!!!!!!!!!!
Sunset:Now all we need is some clues.
(Spike sniffs around the grounds and calls for the gang)
Spike:Hey you guys i found something.
(They go over to the spot and it is a remote control device)
Sci-Twi:Jinkies. I bet this device is a clue.
Sandalwood:Now all we need is some more clues and we can solve this case.
(A pice of paper blows in the wind and is near his feet)
Sandalwood:(Looks down at his feet)Huh? (Picks up the paper)It looks like a dig permit. And the signature is a lot like that leader of the archeologists.
Sci-Twi:That proves it's a forgery.
(Niles comes)
Niles:Hey kids, you're welcome to come in if ya like.
Big Macintosh:Thank ya Mr. Galette.
(They go into the house and the four vandals poke their heads around the corner of the house and we cut to the inside)
Niles:According to the legends. The vandals only show up at night. I make some good cookin'.
Snails and Spike:Good cooking?!
Spike:Music to my ears. And my stomach.
Snails:Music to my ears and stomach too.
Niles:I've got cornbread bakin' and chicken fryin'.
Wallflower:Wow. And Snails and Spike'll probably like it.
Snails:You know we will Wallflower. (To Spike)Come on Spike!
Spike:Yeah, let's eat!
(They run to the dining room and we cut to later in the dining room where they are eating dinner)
Niles:And so that's when it happened. Only last night.
Rarity:So they've only appeared last night? And they haven't appeared any other night?
Niles:Not at'all young lady.
Trixie:Seems weird if they've only showed up last night.
Juniper:Yeah and that's when Mr. Galette called us to come.
(A horse is heard making noises)
Sunset:What was that?
Flash:It came from outside! Come on!
(They go out and Niles reaches for a shotgun)
Bulk:Huh? A shotgun?
Sandalwood:Old country dude, what are you gonna do with a shotgun?
Niles:Shoot at whoever's out there.
(They go outside and see for vandal warriors on horseback heading into the cornfield)
Niles:That's them! It's them Windmill Vandals and they're headin' into my cornfield!
Juniper:Let's get after them!
Snails:Spike and i will stay here. Right Spike?
Spike:Uh right. Cause we're not going into a cornfield especially when four skeletal vandals just went into it.
Bulk:But you guys had five ears each at breakfast.
Gloriosa:You're eating some right now.
(Cuts to them munching on two ears of corn)
Spike:It's not the corn. It's the monsters that are in the corn.
(Rarity pulls out a box of Spikey Snack)
Rarity:Boys would you do it for a Spikey Snack?
Snails and Spike:Yeah!
(They eat the whole box)
Spike:Let's get'em!
(They run into the field and the gang run in after them)
Niles:(Calls out to them)Good luck kids and be careful!
(We cut to inside the cornfield where the gang look around)
Trixie:Trixe does not see the Windmill Vandals anywhere.
Juniper:I don't either.
Wallflower:Me either.
(They hear hooves beating togther)
Wallflower:That's not a good sign.
(The gang gather around each other and the Windmill Vandals appear on their horses)
Spike:Ah! It's the Windmill Vandals!
Big Macintosh:Run gang!
(They run around the cornfield avoiding getting their heads chopped off by the wepons of the vandals and Snails backs up to a part of the cornfield and the one vandal surprises him and he sees the sword and ducks and acts like he's putting his head back on and runs off even though he still has his head on, we cut to Rarity who is being kidnapped by the double ax vandal)
Rarity:Bulk! Help!
Bulk:Rarity! I'll save you!
(Runs up beside the horse and grabs Rarity and they run off and the vandal realizes and hisses and we cut to the gang running out of the cornfield and huff and puff)
Spike:That was too close.
Winona:Yeah, really too close!
Big Macintosh:Tonight y'all we set up a trap to catch them horse ridin' skeleton warriors.
(We cut to nighttime where a net is hoist onto the barn's pully)
Snails:Big Mac, i hope this works.
Big Macintosh:(OS)Course it'll work Snails.
(Cuts to the gang hidning)
Big Macintosh:We hide the field and then the vandals'll come at y'all and that's when Spike'll pull the rope makin' it let go of the net and it'll fall on the vandals catchin' them.
(Back to them)
Spike:As long as they don't catch us.
(Cuts to Twilight looking through her binoculars)
Sci-Twi:Here they come.
Apple Bloom:C'mon. Let's hide.
Big Macintosh:Eyup Apple Bloom. It show time.
(They run to the fields and the vandals ride up and stop their horses)
Snails:Duh hi fellas.
Spike:Yeah, hi. You look like you guys could use some eating. All of you. The horses too. Step into the barn and we'll feed you.
(They get mad and come up to them getting ready to attack)
Spike:S-Stay right there.
(They roar as they get ready to attack and Snails throws a log which one chops in half with his ax and they get mad, we cut to Snails and Spike)
Spike:Snails!
Snails:Now Spike!
(Spike pulls on the rope and we cut to the vandals looking up at the net which lands on them and we cut to Snails and Spike who cheer)
Snails and Spike:Yes!
Snails:The trap worked Spike!
Spike:Yeah.
(Laughs like Scooby-Doo)
(Cuts to scene of them)
Snails:Gimmie five.
Spike:But i've only got four paws.
Snails:Well then, gimmie four.
Spike:Ok.
(They leap up in the air and high five and paw each other and we cut to the double ax blade and the regular ax blade and the sword blade cutting the vandals out and we cut back to Snails and Spike)
Snails:You're the man Spike.
Spike:You're the man.
(Giggles like Scooby-Doo and two of the vandals tap on their shoulders and Snails and Spike become scared and realize and looks at the vandals we cut to the vandals who are even madder then ever and roars at them and we cut to scene of Snails and Spike begining to run away off in opisite directions as the vandals use their weapons to attack)
Snails and Spike:Yikes!
(They run off and we cut to scene where Snails runs around two of them and the other two go after Spike as the Billy Ray Cyrus version of "Scooby-Doo Where Are You!" plays, we cut to Snails running and the gang watch him, we cut to Spike being chased by the vandals up to the hayloft and they get ready to attack the poor little dog and he leaps down and into Snails's arms and the vandals come down from the hayloft and Snails runs with Spike in his arms and we cut to the gang running until they bump into each other and Snails runs through them and we cut to him running around a corner and comes back and this time Spike is running with Snails on his back and the flail and double ax vandals and we cut to Snails and Spike running until the ax vandal and the sword vandal have them cornered in between and the other two vandals come and they run off as the wepons hit nothing and Snails and Spike climb up the windmill and they fall down onto two of the vandals and they look down as the two vandals look up and Snails and Spike see this and run off and we cut to them hiding in a barrel and the vandals go by ending the chase)
(Snails and Spike climb out of the barrel)
Spike:We lost them.
Snails:Yeah.
(They appear behind Snails and Spike starts spatting about them)
Snails:What's the matter Spike?
Spike:Eee bee bee bee bee. Windmill Vandals!
(He turns to see them and they roar at him and he freaks out and they both run)
Snails:Run Spike!
Spike:I'm running!
(They run for the windmill)
Snails:Head for the windmill!
(They climb up to the top where a net is already on the windmill wheel and the vandals make it and get ready to attack and they hear noises and turn to see the gang as monsters, Bulk in his Roman warrior costume, Sunset in her gothic vampire costume, Applejack as a scary scarecrow, Rarity as a zombie, Twilight as Midnight Sparkle, Juniper as Juniper Monstar, Gloriosa as Gaia Everfree, Flash as FirePit, Wallflower as a zombie, Big Mac as a zombie, Winona looking like a werewolf, Apple Bloom as a zombie, Sandalwood as a zombie, Timber as a zombie, Trixie as a witch and she is dressed in her clothes she wore at the end of Rainbow Rocks at the climax and the vandals get scared and drop their weapons and try to escape by going forward at them but they close in on them and we cut to a close up of Sunset who smiles evily with her mouth open showing off her fangs, we cut to Bulk who has an ancient staff as the warriors in the Romain war had, we cut to Gloriosa, then to Twilight, then to Juniper, then to werewolf Winona, then to zombie Big Mac, then to scarcrow Applejack, and zombie Apple Bloom, then to zombie Rarity, then to zombie Sandalwood, then to zombie Timber, then to Flash, and to Trixie who does a cute witch cackle)
(We cut to the Windmill Vandals and we move over to the leader as he says)
Leader of the Windmill Vandals:No. Stay back.
(They back up to the windmill and Snails and Spike drop the net and it lands on them thus trapping them and catching them)
Leader of the Windmill Vandals:We didn't know the curse was real!
(Cuts to another vandal)
Second Windmill Vandal:It wasn't even my idea!
(Twilight unmasks it to be one of the archeologist, we cut to the leader being unmasked by Sunset, then to the one beside the leader being unmasked by Bulk, then Flash unmasks the last one and we cut back to the scene)
Midnight Sparkle:(In Twilight's voice)Just as we suspected. The archeologists who're trying to make Farmer Galette think his farm is haunted.
(The archologists realize they have been tricked)
Lead Archologist:(Angry look)What?! You're not monsters!
(Cuts to the gang unmasking themselves and Twilight and Juniper put their glasses back on as they unmasks themselves)
Sci-Twi:And you aren't skeleton vandals.
(Winona struggles to pull her mask off and Apple Bloom helps her, Niles comes with the police)
Niles:(Claps his hands)Bravo! That was an excellent pice of work kids. But how did you know it was the archeologists?
Sci-Twi:Simple. We knew there were four vandals and that there were four archeologists. When we found the remote device for robots, that pointed us in the right direction.
Rarity:Yes, someone was operating robot horses desguised as skeleton horses to make it look like the horses of the vandals.
Wallflower:(Shows the police the phony permit)They used this phony dig permit to make everyone think they had goverment permission to dig on the farm.
Niles:Brilliant! But how did you know about the archeologists being behind it?
Juniper:Easy. There were holes in the cornfield and we knew someone might be digging up something.
Gloriosa:In this case treasure.
Sunset:They were digging holes in your cornfield to try and find the treasure they were looking for.
Niles:Amazing! But what was the treausre they were trying to scare me away from?
Timber:Simple. And easy too. The clothing of the vandals and the weapons. And other artifacts that were burried around the area. 
Spike:They would've made a fortune selling them.
Lead Archeologist:(As policeman gets him up and the others get the other archeologists up)And we would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your mutts!
Lead Policeman:Let's go buddy. (Stops at the gang who are still in their costumes)You kids goin' to a costume party or something?
Big Macintosh:No sir, this was part of a backup plan i had.
Lead Policeman:Oh. Alright then. Good work kids. (To lead archeologist)Keep movin', keep movin'.
(The police pile them all in the back of the police van and drive off)
Niles:Kids i can't thank you enough for what you did.
Snails:All in a day's and night's work Mr. Galette.
(Spike and Winona are heard barking)
Flash:Hey that's Spike and Winona barking. Come on.
(They bark as they dig something up)
SpikeHey you guys we found something!
(They go over and see the clothing of the vandals in the ground)
Big Macintosh:(OS)Well i'll be! It's the clothing of them vandal warriors.
(Back to the gang who get it out)
Rarity:This goes to the Canterlot Museum.
Applejack:Eyup. Ya got that right Rare.
(Cuts to Spike)
Spike:Spikey-Dikey-Doooo!
