Spike: The Mystery Begins

In a world where there is danger around every corner a group of teenage sleuths and their purple dog and brown and white dog solve the most epic mystery of it all.

## Script

(We open on daytime in Canterlot where the kids are getting ready for work and Snails is seen running)

Snails: Duh hey wait for me guys!

(Cuts to Twilight)

Sci-Twi: Oh, hey Snails.

Snails: Like I think we should go for snacks after school.

Spike: Yeah! Snacks! Spikey Snacks!

Big Macintosh: Now don't get your hopes up Snails. We've only started this mystery solving club two weeks ago.

Snails: And it was just a prank by Rainbow Dash with help from the Shadowbolts, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, Juniper Montage, Wallflower Blush, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Trixie, Granny Smith, Sandalwood, Micro Chips, Flash Sentry, Cheerilee, Timber Spruce, Gloriosa Daisy and my buddy Snips. And Sunny Flare's dog Ember and Applejack's dog Winona.

Sci-Twi: That was our first mystery. So after school what say we get together at the sweet shoppe?

Snails: Like that's what I was saying.

(The gang groan and sigh and we cut to Canterlot High where the bell rings and we cut to inside to see Snails struggle to try and open his locker)

Snails: Ooooooh! Come on you stupid locker! Open!

(Pulls on it so hard that he stumbles backwards and slips on a banana peel)

Snails: Whoa!

(Lands upside down on his head in Principal Celestia's office)

Principal Celestia: Good morning Snails.

Snails: Good morning Principal Celestia.

(Principal Celestia is writing down paperwork)

Principal Celestia: I'm just finishing up these last minute paperwork checks and then Vice Principal Luna and I are gonna go around and inspect the school to see if everything in tiptop shape.

(Snails gets himself rightside up)

Snails: Like sorry ma'am, I had another rough morning.

Principal Celestia: Quit alright. So how's the mystery solving club of Canterlot High doing?

Snails: Great, we called ourselves the Canterlot Mystery Solvers and we're gonna do some mystery solving.

Principal Celestia: Good luck with that.

Snails: I gotta go! I'm gonna be late!

(Bell rings)

Snails: Too late.

Principal Celestia: Don't worry. (Writes down something) Here.

(Hands it to him when she says that)

Snails: What is it?

Principal Celestia: A pass.

Snails: Like thanks Principal Celestia.

(Gets up to leave and we cut to outside where Spike is with Winona on the yard with shade and food and water)

Spike: So Winona, do you like me as a friend or more than a friend?

Winona: More than a friend!

Spike: As in you want me to be your boyfriend?

Winona: Yes and I'll be your girlfriend. That is if you want me to be your girlfriend. Am I a joke to you?

Spike: What do you mean?

Winona: Well Applejack said you were with Princess Thunder Guts at the music festival.

Spike: (Bright blush) That was only until her owner found her!

Winona: Are you sure?

Spike: Yeah, sure, of course. Positive.

Winona: Okay if you say so.

(Cuts back to the hall where the gang are talking)

Big Macintosh: So what kind of case should we solve after school?

Rarity: Manehatten is being haunted by a werewolf called the Fashion Werewolf.

Sci-Twi: There's a sea monster called the Sea Demon of Lost Cove.

Snails: There's nothing I can think of.

Bulk: (OS) Can we be apart of the gang?

(Cuts to Bulk, Flash, Sandalwood, Micro Chips, Adagio Dazzle, Sunset, Wallflower Blush, Juniper Montage, Applejack, and Apple Bloom)

Applejack: We could be part of the gang like help y'all out.

Micro Chips: And it'll be a terrific after school club.

(Back to the gang)

Big Macintosh: We appreciate the offer but it's not so much as a club, it's about mystery solving.

(Cuts to Sunset)

Sunset: But we could help.

(Back to the gang)

Sci-Twi: O-Okay.

(Cuts to Sandalwood)

Sandalwood: Groovy! So when'd we start?

(Cuts to Rarity)

Rarity: After school.

(Cuts to Twilight)

Sci-Twi: And that's only three hours away.

Micro Chips: So, are we in?

Rarity: Yes of course.

(Cuts to Spike and Winona who are sleeping in the shade and we cut to a company called CinchCorp which is named after Abacus Cinch, former principal of Crystal Prep Academy, she is running a business)

Cinch: Alright board. What is the next step for CinchCorp.

Stormm: We've got the glider.

Cinch: That's hightech there Stormm. You're my professional scientist. You should know better.

Stormm: Sorry ma'am.

Cinch: Tonight Stormm, you are going to do an experiment on me.

Stormm: I'm what?!

(We cut to Canterlot High where the kids come out)

Sandalwood: Well dudes, we've got the whole weekend to solve mysteries. What now?

Wallflower: I heard there's a ghost called the Violet Knight haunting an old house.

Big Macintosh: (Snaps his fingers about the idea) Then that's where we're headed.

(They go over to the van and Twilight and Applejack go to get Spike and Winona)

Winona: Mystery time?

Applejack: Yup, that's right girl.

(They get their dogs and go to the van and we cut to later at night where they finally make it)

Bulk: (OS) This is it.

(Cuts to inside at Wallflower)

Wallflower: Yeah, this is the place Bulk.

(Cuts to the house, it is an old haunted house which is a typical one with bats flying out of it)

Snips: (OS) We'll go in the haunted house this one time.

(Cuts to him and Flash)

Flash: Don't worry Snips, it'll be ok.

Snips: (To Flash) I hope you're right Flash.

(Cuts to outside where they get out)

Big Macintosh: Bulk, since it's you're only time drivin' the van I'll give you some tips on it.

Bulk: What are the tips Big Mac?

Big Macintosh: Don't drive on the clutch.

Bulk: Got it.

(Cuts to CinchCorp that night where Cinch is strapped to a machine being like Norman Osborn in the Spider-Man movie, Stormm doesn't know about this)

Stormm: Boss, are you sure about this? It doesn't seem safe. I've got mixed feeling about this.

Cinch: Just do it! I'm the boss, you're the unpaid scientist!

Stormm: Wait, I'm unpaid?

Cinch: Just get behind the controls you simp!

Stormm: Simp?

Cinch: Yes, it's short for simpleton.

Stormm: Oh. Okay ma'am.

Cinch: Now Mendel, get to those controls right now.

Stormm: Y-Yes ma'am.

(Gets behind the control station and puts goggles on and turns it on)

Stormm: Ms. Cinch, please don't do this. I'm asking one last time.

Cinch: Don't be a coward Stormm! Risks are part of the scientific study. They always have been.

(Presses buttons and the machine overpowers)

Stormm: Oh no! The machine is overpowering!

(Cuts to Cinch)

Cinch: Don't turn it off!

Stormm: I'm sorry boss! I've got to! It's either I turn the machine off or it turns off your life!

(Tries pulling on the lever)

Stormm: Come on you! The stupid lever's stuck!

(Her body begins twitching frequently and she enjoys it and sparks come out of it and it blows up and we cut to Stormm who gets up and goes to the crashing junk as the smoke clears)

Stormm: Ms. Cinch? Ms. Cinch? Are you okay boss?

(Goes to her and listens for her heart to beat and nothing is heard)

Stormm: I-I'm too late.

(Her eyes snap open and she grabs him by the throat and roar like a wild beast and acts crazy and slams her arm across Stormm's chest)

Stormm: Ms. Cinch! Please!

(Throws him and he crashes through the glass screaming, Cinch then gets up from the machine and looks at the glider and gets an evil grin)

Cinch: Heh, heh, heh, heh. I'm gonna love this.

(Dramatic music is heard and we cut to the house and a light is shined from somewhere and we cut to the gang in a doorway Big Mac hold a flashlight and Winona has the look on her face like her Equestrian counterpart where Golden Delicious' cats were behind the apple barrels and her looks is when before her Equestrian counterpart was looking at them and the cats weren't there, Big Mac slowly walks in)

Big Macintosh: Follow me y'all.

Applejack: Right behind ya big brother.

(They creep into the room)

Wallflower: We've checked every room in this house, and there's still no sign of the Violet Knight.

(Juniper picks up a stick)

Juniper: Look at this.

Flash: What is it Juniper?

Juniper: It's this old stick. Maybe it's a clue.

Rarity: (OS) Hey look, I found another clue.

(Cuts to her with a bucket of glowing violet paint)

Rarity: It's a bucket of glowing violet paint.

(Cuts to Snips and Snails who reveal a secret door)

Snips: Uh guys, I think we found the world's smallest electronics store.

Snails: Yeah, there's new computers and tvs and radios.

(Cuts to Spike)

Spike: And treadmills and and tablets and phones and things. I can see through you guys. Not seriously but through some of the glimpses in the doorway.

Bulk: That means there's a thief.

Apple Bloom: We gotta get the police.

Adagio: I'll call the cops.

(Pulls out cellphone and dials a number)

(The Violet Knight comes, it is the one from the Warner Brothers Movie Wold show Scooby-Doo Disco Detectives)

Violet Knight: I will get you all!

(Does a maniacal laugh and attacks and the gang run around and Winona holds a rope in her mouth which is holding a chandler and she lets go of it and it lands on the Violet Knight trapping him)

Apple Bloom: Atta girl Winona!

Winona: Yeah! I caught him!

(Goes over to it and removes the mask with her forepaws and it is revealed to be a middle aged hispanic man with grayish black hair)

Big Macintosh: (OS) Well I'll be.

Sci-Twi: (OS) It's Malcom Thornberry.

(We fade to the police arresting the bad guy)

Policeman: Good work kids. We've been after the Violet Knight for sometime now. And we'll make sure the electronics get back to the stores they came from.

Malcom Thornberry: And I would've gotten away with this if it weren't for you meddling kids and your dogs!

Policeman: Let's go Thornberry! And no pun on Nigel Thornberry from the Wild Thornberrys.

(The policeman takes him away and the local reporters have their cameras ready to take pictures of the gang)

Reporter: Oo! Oo! Canterlot Mystery Solvers! Over here! I'm a reporter with the local newspaper the Canterlot Press! I'd like to get your picture!

Adagio: We'd be honored.

(They do their poses and Winona holds the helmet and Twilight has her arms wrapped be hind her back in a Velma Dinkely pose and she has the wand used by the Violet Knight in her hands and a flash goes off and we see it in a grayish color and we pull back to reveal it's only a photo of them with the headline saying above VIOLET KNIGHT CALLS IT THANKS TO CANTERLOT MYSTERY SOLVERS and we pull back to reveal that the gang are at the sweet shop)

Bulk: You know what? This is great. Maybe we should do this again. The case even made the front page.

Juniper: Yeah, you said it Bulk. And maybe we should.

Flash: Then it's agreed.

Sandalwood: Like it's gonna be totally rockin' man!

Snips: Yeah and who knows? Maybe we'll be on the TV news.

(We cut to the gang investigating a haunted house where a sheet looking ghost scares them and they run and Bulk gets out of the way the ghost comes by and he tackles it to the ground and we cut to the Canterlot Press with the photo of the gang and the policeman with the ghost on the front page and Bulk is holding him in the tackle and holds the mask with one hand and the title reads above GHOST BUSTED, we cut to a red sea squid with yellow spots on it and the gang are running around the aquarium being chased by it and Flash pulls on a rope making a net land on it and the Canterlot Press reads PHANTOM SEA SQUID FAKE EXPOSED BY CANTERLOT MYSTERY SOLVERS it has their photo and a middle aged real estate develepor is in the net and Flash holds the mask and we cut to the gang being chased by a ghoul looking monster and Snips sticks his leg out causing the monster to trip and we cut to the Canterlot Press where it has their photos and Snips holds the mask and the crook is in handcuffs and the headline reads GRAVE ROBBING GHOULIE BUSTED we cut to an old abandon ski resort where inside the gang wear their winter clothes and are being chased by a caveman and it resembles the one form Scooby's Night with a Frozen Fright and Adagio sticks a sled out causing the caveman to slip and crash and we cut to the Canterlot Press where it reads above CRAZED CAVEMAN CAPTURED Adagio holds the mask as the gang are around her and the caveman who is really a man in a mask, we cut to an old circus where inside a big top, Snips, Snails, Spike and Winona are running out being chased by a Ghost Clown type monster with different shoes and Juniper lights up the cannon and the cannon ball shoots out and lands on the clown's head and we cut to the Canterlot Press where it reads above MYSTERIOUS CLOWN CAPTURED BY MEDDLING KIDS, Juniper holds the mask revealing a man and Spike has the clown shoes on his forepaws, we cut to an old castle where Apple Bloom and Winona are being chased by a vampire and a chandlar lands on him and it is revealed that Wallflower was the one who did it and we cut to the Canterlot Press where it reads MEDDLING KIDS VANQUASH VAMPIRE, Wallflower holds the mask and there is a man in the costume and the gang are around her and the man, we cut to the Manehattan Fashion Stadium where the gang are being chased by the Fashion Werewolf and Micro Chips releases the cage trapping it and we cut to the Manehattan Gazette where it has their picture and Micro Chips holds the mask revealing a fashion designer and the gang are around them and the headline above reads GANG EXPOSES FASHION WEREWOLF PHONY we cut to a zombie chasing the gang all over a riverboat and he gets caught in a box thus trapping him and it is revealed that Sandalwood is the one who caught it and we cut to the Canterlot Press where it reads above ZOMBIE CAPTURED BY TEENS AND MUTTS it has their picture and Sandalwood holds the mask revealing it to be a man and we cut to Lost Cove where the gang look around and begin being chased by a monster which is the Sea Demon of Lost Cove and and he runs into the volleyball net and it is revealed that Applejack did it as she ties him up with it and the Canterlot Press has their photo on it and above it the headline reads SEA DEMON OF LOST COVE CAUGHT Applejack holds the mask and we cut to a museum where a warrior mummy is chasing the gang and Sunset locks it in a coffin and we cut to the Canterlot Press where it has their photo and Sunset holds the mask of the warrior mummy and the mummy is a man in a mask and two policemen hold him and the headline above reads MUSEUM MYSETRY SOLVED BY TEENS we cut to a ghost racer and it chases them on the strip and they get out of the way and it is too late for him as he crashes into the wall and we cut to the Canterlot Press and it has the photo of the gang on the front like always and Apple Bloom holds the mask and a man is the culprit and the headline reads GHOST RACER TOTALED BY GANG OF SLEUTHS)

(We blackout and fade to Sugarcube Corner where inside the gang think about what to do next)

Flash: So guys, what now?

Spike: Very simple Flash. Lunch that's what now. Let's eat.

Big Macintosh: We didn't come here to eat lunch Spike. We've come here to discus about what other mystery we should solve next.

Bulk: This weekend I've got to appear on Canterlot Wrestling Entertamient.

Sci-Twi: What for?

Bulk: It's about a thing about giving away three thousand dollars to anyone who could stay in the ring for three minutes.

(Cuts to Applejack and Rarity)

Applejack: You should try it Rare.

Rarity: But Applejack, I'm a fashionista, not a fighter.

(Cuts to Spike)

Spike: I mostly love wrestling stadiums. Only because of the snack bar.

(Back to scene where Big Mac announces something)

Big Macintosh: Maybe we could all use a break from mystery solvin'.

Snails: And crime busting.

Spike: And spectral unmasking.

Rarity: (Thinks about it) I'll do it.

Juniper: Do what?

Rarity: I'll be one of the fighters to be in the ring. Besides Bulk'll go easy on me. (Seductive to Bulk who is on the other side of the table) Won't you?

Bulk: Uh...Yeah.

(Cuts to Micro Chips on his computer)

Micro Chips: There has to be something to do for the rest of the day.

(Cuts to Spike)

Spike: Like what?

(Back to him)

Micro Chips: Solving a mystery. That's what.

(Cuts to Sandalwood and him together)

Sandalwood: How'bout that Fire Fighter Phantom?

Micro Chips: (Turns to him) What Fire Fighter Phantom?

Sandalwood: The old Canterlot Fire House is said to be haunted.

Micro Chips: Well it's worth a try.

(They get up to leave and we cut to Cinch's home where she looks in the mirror and is feeling crazy, twitching, shaking and sweats bullets being nervous)

Cinch: What has happened to me? My body feels like I'm not one anymore but two.

Voice: (OS) That's right and I'm callin' the shots now!

Cinch: (Looks around being scared) Who said that?!

Voice: (OS) I did!

Cinch: Who's there?!

(Looks back into the mirror and sees herself talking with a crazy evil look)

Evil Cinch: It's me your aggressive side! You gotta be ready to do it.

Cinch: D-Do what?

Evil Cinch: To commit crimes! That's what! See that mask over there?

(Points to the left which is the mirror's left and her right and she sees a black version of the Green Goblin mask from the 2002 live action Spider-Man movie)

Cinch: I-I can't. I just can't. I've already lost my job at Crystal Prep. I can't lose my company.

(Cuts back to the reflection)

Evil Cinch: Too bad! I'm in control now! I'm callin' the shots! I'm takin' over!

(Cuts to Cinch)

Cinch: I refuse to take orders from a mirror!

(The reflection says some evil stuff to her)

Evil Cinch: I'm not a mirror! I'm you! I'm your evil side! I told you I was your aggressive side! This is your moment to prove that those things at the Friendship Games did happen with your prized pupil being turned into a raging she-demon! You only got one choice. And that is to not say you don't wanna do it!

Cinch: Alright you've convinced me.

(We cut to Twilight and Spike leaving to go hang out with her friends)

Shining Armor: Hey Twily.

Sci-Twi: Hey Shining Armor.

Shining Armor: Twilight, I'm gonna ask you a question and I want a straight answer. Where have you been for the past few nights? And don't say at the library because I called and the librarian said you weren't there.

Spike: She's been solving mysteries.

Shining Armor: This is between me and my sister Spike, not you.

Spike: Oh, sorry.

(Says that rubbing the back of his head feeling awkward)

Sci-Twi: You gotta believe me big brother. Me and my friends are doing a good thing.

Shining Armor: Ever since that mystery at the haunted house where it was only a prank by Rainbow Dash, you and your friends have been solving crimes after school.

Sci-Twi: Your point?

Shining Armor: My point is we used to spend time together, you, Cadence and I would go to the park, have ice cream and ride on the swings.

Sci-Twi: I'm growing up Shining Armor. It's time you do all that stuff with Cadence.

Shining Armor: Like what?

Sci-Twi: Like take her to the park and push her on the swing.

Shining Armor: That's what I do. You know, it's not easy being the new dean of Crystal Prep. After Cinch was fired and Cadence took over as principal, she made me the new dean.

Sci-Twi: Cinch made her own company.

Shining Armor: CinchCorp? Yeah.

(Car horn is heard honking)

Sci-Twi: That's the gang now. We'll have to continue this conversation later. Tata.

Spike: We're goin' to the fights! Yeah!

Shining Armor: Twily just make sure Flash Sentry doesn't try any funny business alright?

Sci-Twi: (OS) He won't.

Shining Armor: And remember. With great power comes great responsibility.

Sci-Twi: (OS) Got it!

(Cadence arrives in her car)

Cadence: Hello my knight in Shining Armor

(Shining Armor giggles at that name she have with his name in it)

Cadence: What should we do?

Shining Armor: Movie here?

Cadence: Sure.

(Cuts to the Canterlot Cruiser)

Rarity: (OS) Bulk is already at the arena.

(Cuts to the gang)

Spike: And didn't he give us front-row seats?

Rarity: Yes he did. He said we were the guests of honor and told the manager to give us the front row.

Snails: I can't wait for those snacks.

Spike: Me too!

(We fade to the gang arriving and they get out)

Flash: Here it is.

Spike: Wow, three thousand dollars. (To Snails) Do you know how many hamburgers it could be Snails?

Snails: I don't know but it could be a lot.

Spike: Yeah, a whole lot!

(They walk in)

Rarity: I'm going to where the amateur fighters are to go and sign up.

Applejack: Don't let Bulk kill ya.

Rarity: He loves me, he wouldn't dare to harm me much.

(They walk in and Snails and Spike go to the snack bar)

Snails: We'll take tons of snacks.

Spike: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pretzels, stuffed and regular, popcorn, super large, jumbo soda pop, licorice. Hot dogs, peanuts, corn dogs.

(Cuts back to the gang)

Big Macintosh: We've got front row seats for the fights?

Ticket Taker: Oh yes, the Canterlot Mystery Solvers. You're on the V.I.P. list.

Micro Chips: Our friend is a fighter here.

Sandalwood: Yeah, he gave us front row seats to watch him

Ticket Taker: Very well then. Right this way please.

(They follow him and we cut to Snails and Spike carrying snacks)

Spike: Hey wait for us you guys!

(They run off)

Snails: (OS) Yeah, wait for us!

(Cuts to the fight, Bulk is wearing boxer shorts and yells into the mic)

Bulk: The next! The next victim! Bring on the next challenger! Bulk Biceps is ready!

(The crowd cheers)

Announcer: (Into mic) Alright, please bring in the next victim!

(Cuts to a man dressed like a minotaur)

Iron Will: It's Iron Will!

(Runs up to the ring and starts fighting)

Iron Will: If I win, I'm gonna spend the money on a wrestling ring!

Bulk: That'll be the day!

(Cuts to Rarity who walks out of the locker room in her beach clothes and goes to the desk)

Desk Clerk: This ain't the beach.

Rarity: I know ma'am, I'm going to compete for the three thousand dollars.

Desk Clerk: Alright then. Name?

Rarity: Rarity.

Desk Clerk: I mean your ring name.

Rarity: Oh. (Thinks) Fashionista Fighter!

Desk Clerk: Works for me.

(Cuts to Bulk, he throws Iron Will around and out of the ring)

Announcer: (Into mic) Do you want more?!

Bulk: No one can last three minutes with Bulk Biceps! (Holds his fist up in the air)The next!

(The audience chances "More, more, more!")

Bulk: Bring'em on! Bulk Biceps is ready!

(The announcer goes over to the walkway)

Announcer: And now! Please bring in the next victim into the ring now! If you can endure three minutes of terrible fighting with Bulk Biceps, the sum of three thousand dollars will be paid to...! (Covers mic with his hand and says) What's your name?

Rarity: (OS) The Fashionista Fighter.

Announcer: Is that it?

Rarity: (OS) Yes.

Announcer: Alright then. (Back into mic) The sum of three thousand dollars will be paid to the fearless and frightening FASHIONISTA FIGHTER!!!!!!!!

(Curtain reveals Rarity, Light it Up, the song for WWE diva AJ Lee plays as Rarity walks down the way blowing kisses to the boys in the crowd and she stops upon seeing Iron Will being wheeled out in a stretcher)

Iron Will: My legs! Oh god I can't feel my legs!

(Rarity climbs into the ring and acts nervous like AJ Lee when she kissed Kane, and all of a sudden a cage is released to make a prison for the two fighters)

Announcer: (Into mic) Please lock the cage doors at this time.

(Rarity is confused)

Rarity: Cage match?! (The stage hands lock the cage) There's been a terrible mistake! I didn't sign up for a cage match! Unlock the thing!

(Cuts to Bulk, he is ready)

Rarity: Hello?! Help! This was not what a signed up for!

Bulk: Hey beautiful! (She turns to the giant) You're goin' nowhere! You can't go anywhere! You are mine for three minutes! I've gotcha for three minutes! (Cuts to Rarity) Three minutes to play with Bulk Biceps! And three minutes of... (Back to him and cracks his knuckles and wiggles his fingers around) Playtime!

(Cuts to Rarity)

Rarity: Oh my!

(The bell rings as the time starts and Bulk wastes no time and runs to her and she jumps to her right causing him to crash into the cage)

Bulk: (Gets up and sees Rarity) What're ya doin over there?!

Rarity: Staying away from you. Especially for three minutes.

(She runs to the other side and Bulk leaps at her as she runs to the other side and she tries to juke him and Bulk grabs her by the bottom of her hair)

Bulk: Gotcha! (Rarity screams) You're so adorable when you're scared. Rarity. Do you know how beautiful you are when you're scared?

Rarity: Not the hair! Please! Let go! You're going to mess up my hair! Alright you asked for it! (Kicks him in the gut causing him to kneel over in pain) Sorry Bulk but you made me do it!

Bulk: You asked for it too!

(He grabs her by the throat and tries to punch her but she dodges it and turns for a kick only for her to grab her arm and she kicks him and he turns her around and pulls her arms down causing her to groan in pain and she leaps in the air and gets her feet onto his face and turns to him and kicks him in the face and she spends in the air and lands and they turn to face each other, he then throws her and tries to kick her and grabs her arm and holds her down and she kicks him in the side of his head and he throws her over himself and she lands hard on he back and Bulk climbs up the bars of the cage and lands getting ready for an elbow drop and Rarity sees this and rolls over and he lands hard and whines, he recovers and is about to kick her only to have his leg crash into the cage and Rarity grabs a chair that a stage hand gave her and hits Bulk in the face with it leaving a dent in it and she covers her face and look at Bulk looking weak and she takes this chance to elbow him only for him to grab her arm and then Rarity handsprings away and Bulk handsprings after her and she is then grabbed and thrown and she comes back swinging on a pole and comes back to kick him and she takes a rope and hooks Bulk's shorts up and pulls on the rope causing him to have a weggie and everyone in the crowd laughs and the rope breaks)

Bulk: Alright that's it! You're mincemeat!

Rarity: In your dreams!

(Grabs the back of his shorts and he is about to hit her only for her to go around and she's about to kick him but misses and she has her fist to get him in the side of his head and he grabs her wrists and throws her onto his back and puts her into an Argintino backbreaker causing her to sound like she is choking)

Announcer: (OS) Looks like Biceps has this wrapped up everyone!

(The gang chants Rarity's name)

Bulk: I win! You've only got one minute left! Looks like you're really the damsel in distress!

Rarity: Not! This! Time!

(Bites his hand causing him to scream and he lets her go causing her to flip back to the mat and she kicks him as he is getting ready to fight and does karate moves and handsprings into his face and swirls around and her foot kicks him and she spends around screaming in anger and kicks him and he falls down and the cage, Rarity gets over to the ropes)

Rarity: Now who's the damsel in distress?

(Cuts to Bulk who is scared)

Bulk: Me?

(Back to her)

Rarity: Straight up.

(Pulls on the ropes and screams as she lands on Bulk's body and she wins)

Announcer: (Into mic) Ladies and gentlemen! We have a winner!

(Lifts Rarity's arm up as everyone cheers her ring name)

Rarity: (Satisfied) Ah the show.

(The manager runs after a crook)

Manager: Stop thief! Security! Help! Someone!

(Everyone takes notice and the Canterlot Mystery Solvers run to check it out and Bulk gets up and stops Rarity)

Bulk: Rarity, you've proven not to only be a fashion designer. But you've won the match.

Rarity: Thanks Bulk.

Bulk: No problem. I haven't felt this good since I dated Derpy. Here a reward that's better then money.

(They kiss and the audience finds this cute)

Audience: Awwww.

(The gang make it out)

Sandalwood: Dude, we made it! Where'd the guy go!

Manager: If I don't get my money back, it'll be no payment for the winner.

Spike: Hey what's going on over there?

(They go to the crowded people)

Sci-Twi: Excuse me officer but what's going on?

Officer: Car thief. This man was riding along and some guy held him up at the gun point. And shot him and took his car and left.

Sci-Twi: Let me see this victim.

(She pushes her way through the crowd and to her shock she sees it's her father)

Sci-Twi: Dad?! My father! This is my father!

(Shining and Cadence pull up and get out to see the commotion)

Shining Armor: Dad! (Runs over to his father's side) Dad? Are you alright?

Sci-Twi: Dad? Come on! Please be ok!

Night Light: (Weakly) Twilight, Shining Armor.....

(They smile with tears and he weakly dies and they cry even more as they both place their father's dead body on the ground and Cadence comforts them both and so does Sunset, the rest feel upset, and Flash gets mad)

Flash: We're gonna get this guy! Whoever it is! (To crowd)Everyone! The Canterlot Mystery Solvers are on the case!

(The crowd cheers and the gang run to the van and Bulk and Rarity come out and are still in their wrestling clothes and they see this and they see the gang looking at them)

Bulk: We weren't doing nothing. I swear.

Big Macintosh: Let's get to the van and follow this criminal!

(The policeman they were talking to comes up)

Officer: Kids we found out that there's an old warehouse at the docks and he's hiding out. We think at least. And they say there's a ghost called the Dockworker Ghost haunting that place.

(Twilight's tears fade to anger)

Sci-Twi: Gang, we're got to find him. To the van! And make it quick about your clothes guys.

(Says that to Bulk and Rarity and we fade to the van speeding and we cut to Micro Chips at the computer)

Micro Chips: I punched in about the warehouse district.

Sandalwood: Dude, there's a lot of warehouses in that area.

Sci-Twi: We just spot the car.

(They make it and walk out of the van)

Snails: Is there really a ghost?

Spike: I sure hope not.

Winona: Let's get this guy!

(They run into the place and we cut to the guy who has his feet on the table and is crossed and counts the money and hears something)

Crook: Huh? I'd better use that legend and make it come real. (Spots dockworker clothes and a plain white mask with a mouth and eyes) This'll do.

(We cut to the gang with flashlights and Twilight is still upset and Flash puts his arm around her)

Snips: This is useless. We're never gonna find that guy.

Snails: Snips is right.

Big Macintosh: Not if we split up.

(They go off different ways and Snails and Spike find the ghost)

Dockworker Ghost: I am the ghost of the dockworker! Leave my warehouse at once!

Snails and Spike: AHHHHHH! THE DOCKWORKER GHOST!!!!!!!!!

(They run off and we cut to Bulk and Rarity walking)

Bulk: So Rarity, what were you going to do with the money once you won?

Rarity: I was gonna donate it to the Canterlot Trust Fund.

Bulk: The charity for orphans? That's awesome!

Spike: (OS) Heeeeeelllllllpppppp!

Snails: (OS) Like heeeeellllllpppppp!

(They run up to them)

Snails: We found the Dockworker Ghost!

Rarity: Now what do we do?

(Snails and Spike reveal themselves up in the fashion of Shaggy and Scooby running in place)

Snails: Run!

(They run off and the ghost comes floating)

Dockworker Ghost: You can't get away from me you fools!

(The ghost crashes into a crate and the other members of the gang close it slamming it shut locking him in so he won't get out)

Sci-Twi: You won't get out now!

Spike: Yeah, we got away from you and now you can't escape now pal!

(Chuckles and the others look at him with glares of anger as if they don't get that joke and he smiles nervously and Winona doesn't give him an angry glare)

Winona: That's my Spikey.

(Bulk opens the crate door that the others closed and the ghost falls out on his front and Twilight notices something)

Sci-Twi: Hey wait a minute.

Micro Chips: What is it Twi?

Sci-Twi: Look at the things on his back.

Snails: It's the back of coveralls Twilight. All dockworkers wear coveralls.

Spike: He's right you know.

Sci-Twi: Not that. (Sees that a piece of rope has been broken) This.

Snips: He had a piece of rope in his back?

Sci-Twi: Not that either Snips. (Pulls the whole thing out) A harness! It was to make him fly!

Sandalwood: Dudes, I found another clue. (Shines his flashlight up at the celling) There's a whole system that goes throughout the whole warehouse.

Sci-Twi: And that means that this ghost isn't a ghost at all. He's really...

(She pulls the mask off revealing a man who resembles Michael Papajohn in the 2002 Spider-Man movie)

Sci-Twi: The carjacker! I might have known!

Bulk: He's also the guy who stole the wrestling contest money.

Dennis Carradine: That's right! I used the Dockworker Ghost to scare you kids out! And I could continue to count all that sweet moola I stole! And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your dogs!

Sci-Twi: (Angry) You killed my father!

(Acts like she wants to kill him as Sunset and Flash hold her back)

Bulk: I got him Twi. (To Dennis) Hey you like games?

Dennis Carradine: Yeah I like games.

Bulk: Then you never seen this game before. (Walks over to a table) First off I want you to take your left hand and put it right in this pocket cupholder on the table. (He does so) Now I want you to take your left hand and put it right in that other one to your right.

(He does so)

Dennis Carradine: Is this good?

Bulk: Yeah, perfect.

Dennis Carradine: Now what?

Bulk: Yeah, watch this.

(Slams him on the table causing his hands to go through the cupholders)

Dennis Carradine: Hey that is really very good. I can't move my hands or nothing. (Bulk goes "Right." and gets on the table)Now what?

Bulk: (Marks his knuckles) Now I'm gonna just mark up my knuckles with this pencil here... (He is done and he grabs Dennis by the shirt) And I'm gonna bank your head into the ocean!

Dennis Carradine: (Worried about himself) W-Wait! You can't hit me! You see I can't move my hands now I'm helpless!

Bulk: Yeah, helpless just like our friend's father was tonight when you shot him and stole his car to make your getaway!

Dennis Carradine: Oh come on, all I did was borrow his car and.....

Bulk: I don't wanna know what you did! You shoot your own father and that's stupid! You shoot somebody else's father and that's pathetic! Twilight and her brother were crying with tears of bitterness, they're heartbroken! You understand that?! (Grabs him by the top of his hair and nods up and down) Yes I do! (He looks at him still being worried about himself) Alright, now that's enough talk! Just close your eyes and kiss a picture of your head meaning to kiss your head goodbye!

Dennis Carradine: (To the gang) Kids help me! (Turns to them) Stop your big friend from tryin' to kill me!

Sci-Twi: No! You killed my father! And it's only fair that our friend kills you too.

Rarity: Yes my boyfriend's quite the killer. He was the wrestler everyone was trying to win the money over.

Dennis Carradine: Help police! I surrender!

(The police come in and try to get him out from the cupholders)

Policeman 1: Great work kids, you caught Dennis Carradine. The notorious criminal in Canterlot City. And you kids sure do deserve the three thousand dollars.

Adagio: After we followed him here officers, he tried to scare us away from him counting the money.

Apple Bloom: (OS) Hey y'all! (She and Winona come) Winona an' I just found the money.

Dennis Carradine: And it would have been mine!

(Police take him away and Twilight feels upset removing her glasses and wiping the tears out of her eyes and the gang comfort her being upset)

Sci-Twi: (To herself) Dad... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

(The gang comfort her and we cut to the Sparkle house where Cadance and Shining Armor are already in and they comfort Twilight Violet and Twilight comes in and she cries and Shining comforts his sister)

Shining Armor: Mom, what was dad doing out at night anyway?

Twilight Violet: (Through tears) He went to the store to pick up some groceries and that's when he got shot. He took a short cut thinking it'd be the easiest way back home.

(Knocking is heard and Cadance answers it revealing the Shadowbolts: Sunny Flare, Sour Sweet, Indigo Zap, Lemon Zest, Sugarcoat and Sunny Flare's dog Ember (A puppy version of Ember in Equestria)

Sunny Flare: Hi Principal Cadance. Sorry to stop by on such short notice but we heard about what happened to Twilight's dad and we feel sorry. Especially since we never been real friends to her.

Sour Sweet: And I'm not in the angry mood today. (Sourly) I hope that guy gets the chair. The heat seat.

Indigo Zap: Yeah, we'd like to see Twilight.

Cadance: I'm sorry girls but Twilight isn't feeling good. She's deeply heartbroken and the same with Shining Armor.

Lemon Zest: Well can you give us our regrets?

Cadance: Of course I will.

Lemon Zest: Come on guys, let's go party.

(They leave and Cadance closes the door and we cut to the heartbroken family and we fade to Canterlot Cemetery where they have the funeral and the ones carrying the casket are Bulk Biceps, Shining Armor, Big Macintosh and Flash Sentry who carry it feeling heartbroken and we cut to Micro Chips and Sandalwood who wear their clothes from the Fall Formal, we cut to Timber Spruce and Gloriosa Daisy who are dressed in their fancy clothes from at the end of Legend of Everfree, we see Octavia and Vinyl weeping and we cut to Snails and Spike who weep too, we cut to the human versions of the Pony Life ponies such as Derek, Matt and Matt the "Alternative Ponies" Potion Nova, Buttershy, Pinkie's only brother Octavio Pie, Buttershy is too upsetting to look at her tablet and Derek, Matt and Matt are crying enough not to be Gothic, Cheese Sandwich is there hugging his rubber chicken toy and the dog version of Garble is there with him as if he is Cheese Sandwich's dog, we cut to Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna who feel sad and everyone pays their respects and leaves)

Timber: Sorry about your dad Twilight.

Sci-Twi: Thanks Timber.

Timber: Hey Flash wanna come over to our house and play a video game I just bought?

Flash: Maybe some other time Timber.

(Garble talks to Spike)

Garble: Say uh Spike how's about we go to grab a snack? Like a dog treat or something?

Spike: I'm good Garble, thanks.

Ember: I feel so sorry for you and Twilight Spike.

Spike: Yeah thanks. (Leaves with the gang)

Sci-Twi: This is so gonna traumatize me for life.

Spike: Yeah, me too.

(We fade to Sugarcube Corner where Mr and Mrs. Cake bring over snacks)

Mrs. Cake: This is on the house because of how we feel about you Twilight.

Sci-Twi: Thanks but I'd really like to pay for it.

Bulk: At least we caught the gunman and carjacker and contest money thief.

Spike: Yeah. Yeah we did. It still doesn't make things better.

Flash: (Reads newspaper) Teenage gang bust Dockworker Ghost. Terrific headline.

Adagio: You think that's terrific enough?

Mr. Cake: (Brings milkshakes over) Here's some shakes. On the house.

Snails: Thanks.

Sci-Twi: Gang, I'm not in the mood. (To Flash) Flash, could you drive me home?

Flash: Sure Twilight.

Spike: I'm staying here with the gang for the snacks.

Sci-Twi: Ok, just come home when you do.

(Flash walks Twilight out)

(We cut to CinchCorp where Cinch enters the board room)

Cinch: You wanted to see me?

Mr. Balkan: Wonderful news, Cinch. Wonderful. As a matter of fact, it's the reason we're selling the company.

(She is shocked)

Cinch: What?

Mr. Balkan: Yes. Crystal Aerospace is recapitalizing in the wake of the bombing. Expanding. They made a tender offer we can't ignore.

Cinch: Why wasn't I told?

(Mr. Fargas is next to speak as he wheeled up to the table in his wheelchair)

Mr. Fargas: The last thing they want a power struggle with entrenched management. The deal is off if you come with it. The board expects your resignation in thirty days.

Cinch: You can't do this to me. I started this company. You know how much I sacrificed?!

(She begs him)

Cinch: Oh, Fargas. Please. Don't do this.

Mr. Fargas: Cinch, the board is unanimous. We're announcing the sale after the World Unity Festival. I'm sorry.

Mr. Balkan: You're out, Cinch.

(She's upset thinking about it

Cinch: Am I? Out? (Menacing tone) We'll see.

(Cuts to the festival the next day, where the gang have caught another ghost)

Sandalwood: So you see officer as a proud hipster myself. This dude here was trying to protest against keeping a building his parents stayed at when they were kids.

Officer: Is that why he dressed up as the Lover Inn Ghost?

Sandalwood: Exactly.

Protest Leader: And I'd had got away with it if it weren't for you kids and your meddling dogs.

Officer: You kids did terrific. I'll take him now.

(Takes him away and we cut to the CinchCorp board on a balcony and then back to the gang where we see Snails and Spike eating Lasagna Pop (See the short Lost and Pound) and they are enjoying it)

Spike: I never got one of these during the music festival.

(Flash comes by with some cotton candy)

Flash: I did.

Spike: I didn't ask you Flash.

Flash: (OS) I know Spike.

(Apple Bloom enjoys an ice cream cone and Winona enjoys churros)

Winona: I like churros.

Apple Bloom: You're soundin' like Pinkie Pie Winona.

Winona: Yeah I kind of do.

(?????)

Mr. Balkan: That's our glider!

Black Goblin: Out, am I?

Black Goblin: Hello, my dear.

(Cuts to the malt shop that night where they sip their drinks and don't know what to say)

(We cut to Abacus Cinch in her mansion glaring at the photo of the disaster)

(Her mask speaks to her)

Black Goblin: The Canterlot Mystery Solvers are all but invincible. But the others, we can destroy them.

Cinch: I can't.

Black Goblin: Betrayal must not be countenanced. Our enemies must be educated.

Cinch: What do I do?

Black Goblin: Instruct them in the matters of loss and pain. Make them suffer. Make them wish they were dead.

Cinch: Yes?

Black Goblin: And then grant their wish.

Cinch: But how?

Black Goblin: The cunning warrior attacks neither body nor mind.

Cinch: Tell me how!

Black Goblin: The heart, Cinch. First, we attack their heart.

(We cut to the gang walking through the parade grounds the next day seeing it get cleaned up)

Micro Chips: And to think that most parades only happen if there was a fire. I'd say this counts more then only a small one.

Flash: Yeah. Like some nut on a glider throwing pumpkin bombs at everybody trying to make them into skeletons.

Big Macintosh: Eyup. Just about the only craziness we've had all week.

Sandalwood: (Spots something) Hey gang, what's that?

(Cuts to smoke coming from somewhere and we cut back to the gang)

Sunset: It looks like it's coming from the school. Come on!

(The gang run from the parade grounds and over to the school to find that some weird graffiti has been painted all over the place)

Sunset: (Can't believe it) On no.

Adagio: Oh boy.

Flash: What happened here?

(They go up to Principal Celestia who holds a ladder)

Flash: Principal Celestia! (She turns around and he ducks as she turns making the ladder nearly hit him) What happened?

Principal Celestia: I'll tell you what happened Flash. Some nut job on a glider threw some sort of smoke bombs at the school that's what happened.

Sci-Twi: Was there anyone inside?

Principal Celestia: Thank goodness no. Luna fell down when she was at the stairs. Outside here at least.

Rarity: Where is she now?

Principal Celestia: The police took her home.

Applejack: We'd wanna investigate this thing here.

Black Goblin: No one says no to me!

Black Goblin: Fine. But if you don't, you'll never see your little puppy dogs again.

(Before Bulk could have the chance to punch the Black Goblin he has one last trick up his sleeve and pulls out dynamite)

Black Goblin: You think that changes anything? I'm still the only one getting out of here!

(Laughs as he hears something from above and looks up going "Huh?" and sees Spike and Winona coming down on the rope and they have angry looks and land on the villain and we cut to him looking up at them and they land on him causing him to drop the dynamite and Snails catches it and panics trying to blow it out and Adagio plucks the string on top off and he is relived and tosses the dynamite away and Spike and Winona grab the rope and use it to tie up the Black Goblin and they run around so fast that it makes the gang kind of dizzy and they stop)

Adagio: Great job Spike and Winona!

(The gang go up to the Black Goblin)

Sci-Twi: That's my boy.

Applejack: And that's my girl.

Flash: Now let's see who this clown really is.

(As the Black Goblin begs by saying "No, no, no, no, no!" Flash takes the mask off revealing a familiar face to them)

Gang: Principal Cinch?!

Cinch: You've ruined everything. The money was in my hands. And I could save my company.

Sci-Twi: But why disintegrate your own board?

Cinch: Easy. They said I was fired.

Sunset: How could you be fired from your own company?

Cinch: That's what I said too.

Micro Chips: That's why you stole money from those banks in Canterlot. And tried to destroy the parade.

Wallflower: And try to run those people off the train tracks.

Cinch: I was gonna be rich and make you kids look like fools. And save my company.

Sci-Twi: Hey after I left Crystal Prep, I've made some good friends at CHS.

Cinch: (Happy smile) Anyway I would have been rich and saved my company. (Aggressive) If it weren't for you meddling kids and your dogs.

(Cuts to Spike and Winona)

Spike and Winona: That's us!

(Rarity scratches Spike behind his ears like she did to his dragon counterpart at the end of the first movie)
