OOC: You're going to have to forgive me, I'm making things up as I go and I'm so far into the deep end I'm just running with it and throwing every story Idea I've never gotten the chance to use and likely never would. It was a much simpler idea when I started. BIC: "Then let's head back there." The guard said, still ignoring Pinkie on her back as he stepped into the rain. The punch flew past Puss and hit the door behind him, smashing it in and sending it flying off it's hinges. On the other side, Night was tied up in a chair in a similar fashion the robot pony was earlier. He was struggling against his binds but couldn't break free. OOC: To be honest, each of my characters had a backstory, but every time I thought I could start revealing it something went horribly wrong, like the robot being destroyed or knocking out the stallion. And every time something in my story changed I felt I had to make things even more difficult because Puss was one shotting my narrative. The last thing I want to do is monologue, and now I can't even do that because everyone's too angry or confused to speak and it's become a fight of fists.

ooc: Puss rushing in and dealing with things as they happen is kinda who Puss is. I'm trying to play him that way so I can play him better. I also want him to ask and accept input from AJ since they're in a relationship now and I want to reflect that. Also we did make him pretty strong.
"Senor Night!" Puss exclaimed joyfully. "I am glad to see you are safe, I shall be with you in a moment." Puss jumped to the arm that the pony had tossed to the side and picked it up, at the same time he nodded towards Applejack and the pillars to hint that she should start destroying them before turning back to the powerful enemy and pointed the arm at her like his sword. "It seems that you're going to by a hand full." He looked at his weapon. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make a pun."

Applejack nodded and looked around the room. By now, they were all turned on and Applejack knew she couldn't get them all in time. She did notice they were in a big circle and one could reach another if knocked down. Like a stack of dominoes, she kicked one of the pillars with all her might, knocking it into the next which proceeded to knock down the next. The pony, in spite of her rage, say the pillars falling and ran to stop them. She pressed her hooves against one and was able to keep it upright after it had been hit. The whole room was full of rain now as the ceiling was fully opened. All the pillars that did fall shorted out and only a few of them remained standing.
Arriving at the Fair, the group noticed the area was empty. "Where is your friend? Where did you leave her?" the guard said.
OOC: If the group walked around a bit, they'll notice the sound of the machine and find the weather pony and Ruby.

Push shrugged and threw the arm down. "Applejack!" He called to her. "Get Senor Night! We should get out of here!" He ran to the other pillars and cut through one with his claws.
Over this way Skullboy said leading the way. As he did he noticed the sound and saw Runy and the weather pony. "There they are!"

Applejack nodded and ran into the room where Night was. The pony knew she'd lose all the pillars if she didn't do something. She reached around the side to turn on the pillar she was holding. It was just out of reach, but she continued on trying to flip the switch.
"Skulboy, girls." Ruby said hearing Skullboy's voice. "The generators at 80% and there's still two more riddles. We can't get the next one." She said and pointed to the screen.
OOC: You can pick then next riddle and I'll pick the last.

Puss cut through two more pillars. "Okay." Skullboy said looking at the riddle. "Forward I am heavy, but backward I am not. What am I?" He read. "Um, a boat? No." ooc: Do you want to try it first?

OOC: After almost two days and I still have ABSOLUTELY NO idea what the solution to that riddle is. BIC: The waitress was still at the last pillar, trying desperately to flip the switch. She flipped it on, but it would still take a moment to start up as she did what she could just to hold the pillar up. Applejack had now untied Night and the two of them were watching from under the cover of the room they were in as Puss laid waist to the machines one after the other. "Is it bad news? If you're too forward with it it'll be pretty heavy, and the opposite of bad news is good news which isn't heavy." Ruby said, mostly throwing out what she'd been thinking about. By now the machine was at 83% and still rising.

ooc: You should have googled it. Just tell me when Puss has destroyed all the pillars. Puss kept going from pillar to pillar and destroying them. "I know this one!" Pinkie said finally jumping off the guard's back. "It's a ton! Spelled forwards it's heavy and spelled backwards it's spelled not."

OOC: I did and then I felt guilty and stupid so I decided to say I hadn't googled it. It wasn't something I thought Ruby or the Pegasus would have figured out. Or the weather pony. BIC: The waitress turned around and pushed her back against the pillar, ready to defend the pillar however she could, though there wasn't much she could do while holding it up. "That must be it." Ruby said and started typing it. Once it was confirmed the Pegasus started writing it in the dirt. "If we get one wrong it loops back to the start so we've been keeping track of our answers thus far. What's the last riddle?" "Let's see..." Ruby waited and started reading when it was fully loaded, "You find me in boats, books, bonfires and billboards. I am also the home of bees. What am I." OOC: I made this one up so you couldn't google it It'll probably be really easy though.

ooc: With information literally at your fingertips why wouldn't you use it? My first guess would be wood. All those things are made of it and bees can live in trees or beehives. My other choice would be the letter B if home means the start of the word bees. Puss walked up to the last pillar and flipped the switch off. "You're evil scheming has come to an end." He told the waitress. "It would be best if you came quietly." "Wood perhaps?" Rarity suggested to the group. ooc: It's okay if I switched off the machine right? You said she couldn't do much and I didn't want to leave it on in case one pillar still did something.

OOC: You're too smart for me. I was just about to fire that last pillar. and You're actually right on the first guess. I deliberately came up with a riddle with two answers so if you guessed one I could say it was the other. But since you figured them both out I'll give you macho points. BIC: The pony gritted her teeth as their whole plan fell apart. In her rage she tried to throw another punch, letting go of the pillar. She Slipped on the now soaked floor, though, and landed on her face. The pillar was headed for Puss and looked like it would miss the waitress. "That does make sense." Ruby said. "We're only at 90% power right now. We can risk it and still have time to try another answer, if we're quick." The Weather pony said, "Go for it." "Alright." Ruby said and entered it into the system. "Let's do this." she announced as she hit enter. The system beeped and booped and a chime sounded. On the screen was displayed many options, while at the bottom was emergency shutoff. Ruby went down to that and hit enter. After clicking "Yes, I'm sure I want to proceed." about half a dozen times, the machine finally cut off, having gotten up to 95%. Ruby and the Weather pony breathed a sigh of relief and almost fell to the floor as the sounds of the machine emptied from the air and the rain began to slow.

ooc: Sneaky, very sneaky. Puss cut through the pillar letting the two pieces fall safely away from both of them. "So, what is this device?" Rarity asked. "And where's Applejack and Puss?" Not sure what was happening.

OOC: I try BIC: The waitress laid on the ground, hitting her hoof on it in her anger as it actually started to crack a little. She was completely livid and well beyond words at this point. Applejack and Night came out from the shelter, the rain starting to wain as the effects of the generator shutting down reached them, "I suppose we can't leave them unattended. They'll need to be brought in." Applejack said and looked over to Night, "And you've got some explaining to do as well." she said with a stern tone. Night just shifted to the side a bit and looked at the destruction around him. "It seems to have been generating this massive storm. I don't know what it was building up to, but at least we stopped it before then." The weather pony said sitting down to collect her thoughts. The rain had finally stopped and only looming dark clouds remained of the disastrous day.

"Yes." Puss agreed. "I shall get some wires to tie them up and then I'll wait here while you find somepony to handle them."
"Then it's a good thing we stopped it." Rarity said. "So where's Puss and Applejack?" Pinkie asked. "It seems this whole ponynapping thing is much more complicated than we thought." "Yes." Skullboy agreed. "That waitress we met turned out to be one of the bad guys."

Applejack nodded, "Night, you stay with Puss. I'll go get help." She said and headed out. Night knew he was in hot water and simply did as he was told.
"We haven't seen them since the storm started. We split up to cover more ground in the fair and when we got the address lead we couldn't find them again." Ruby explained. "I'll go looking for them." The guard said and left the tent, "I think I know what Applejack looks like." He added before taking off.

Puss got some wires that were in the pillars and tied the two ponies next to each other after dragging the unconscious colt over. Puss couldn't find the ponies that were manning the pillars and figured they must have escaped, for now.
"Wait for me!" Pinkie said running after the guard.

OOC: Wasn't Pinkie still on his back? BIC: The unconscious pony was unconscious and the filly didn't resist. She knew she'd been beat. About halfway between the fair and the area with the pilars, Applejack was making her way around, trying to find a guard or something.

ooc: Nope. She jumped off when she answered the 'ton' puzzles. Not sure what I'm suppose to be doing now though.
Pinkie ran up next to the guard. "How will we find them in this crowd?" She asked.

OOC: Fair enough. And we're wrapping things up so everything will just start falling into place.
BIC: "Is that her?" The guard said, pointing to Applejack who had just walked out of a back alley.
"So what happened to you guys?" Ruby asked Skullboy and Rarity now that things were settled down.

"Yes! That's her." Pinkie said hopping ahead. "Applejack! Over here!" She called out to her.
"We found that waitress pony at the house and she tried to get us arrested." Rarity explained. "Thankfully Pinkie was able to convince the guard we were innocent."

Applejack managed to hear the familiar voice and looked around until she spotted Pinkie and the guard. She ran up to them quickly, wondering what Pinkie was doing.
"So whomever kidnapped Night planned to get you all out of the picture from the get go? That's really well thought out, it's a good thing they didn't have more time to prepare or something." Ruby said, seeing that the intention was for all four of them to get arrested and separated from Applejack and Puss.

"Applejack! We've been looking for you and Puss." Pinkie told her. "Did you find anything?"
"Indeed." Rarity agreed. "It's hard to believe they were able to scheme such a plan."

"Yeah, the ponies that ponynapped Night were actually after us. Luckily Puss saved the day. He's watching the ponies right now, they've been detained." Applejack said the last part more to the guard who nodded. "Lead the way." The pegasus guard said and Applejack started leading him and Pinkie to where Puss was.
"That doesn't tell us why the weather was so bad." Ruby said, looking to the machine.

Pinkie happily followed after.
"No it doesn't." Rarity agreed. "Or why such a contraption is here in Los Pegasus in the first place."

One they got back Applejack walked up to Puss, "Were they quiet?" AJ asked Puss and the ponies were still sitting, one still knocked out. The guard looked at the ponies and the destruction all around.
"Hopefully Pinkie and the guard can find Applejack.

"They did not talk." Puss said. "But by her demeanor I would say that we stopped the evil they were up to. Also senor Night has been very quiet as well."

"Silence can be just as disconcerting." the Pegasus guard said, but was happy with how well they were being detained, "I'll need all of you to come with me for debriefing while I try and get to the bottom of this." I'll go get a cart to transport these guys." he said with a certain finality and flew off without another word. Applejack waited by Puss and looked over to Night. Night still didn't say anything, his face not really readable for a reaction to the situation.

"And I'll go get the others!" Pinkie said. "Looks like we all had a big adventure." She looked around the destroyed room as she left.

"So, care to explain what you know?" Applejack said, again in her stern voice and Night sat down. "Well, I didn't want any part in there plans so I tried to get the authorities. I was taken and used as bait to lure you to me." Night said, explaining the gist of it without really explaining anything more then what they already knew.

"But if they knew you then they should have known Senorita Applejack does not have that money to give to them." Puss said.
Pinkie ran up to Ruby and the group. "We found them and Night!" She told them. "They're waiting with some tied up bad guys, come on!"
