Equestria Ninjas: Friendship School

The Dark Turtles

One day in Ponyville, the ninjas were wandering about greeting any of their pony friends that passed by, "Another peaceful day in Ponyville, eh, bros?" Mikey asked joyfully.

"Yeah, boring." Raph grumbled.

"Hey, it gives us a chance to relax." Donnie reminded him.

"Especially with all that's been going on." Leo reminded him.

"Well, I'm all for relaxing, but even if it looks alright we still have two enemies out there after us." Raph reminded back.

"Stressing about it won't help at all, Raph." Sunset noted.

"Quite right. So let's enjoy this day without any possibility of problems springing up." Fugitoid said, until a voice gasped.

"Oh my gosh it really is you!" the ninjas stopped in place before seeing a photographer pony galloping over, "The famous Equestrian Ninjas, right?" she asked all excited.

"Yeah. That's us," Leo confirmed, while sounding disturbed by her excitement, "And you are?"

"Oh, forgive me, where are my manners?" she asked, "I am a photographer for the Equestrian Daily, and I was wondering if you four ninjas would like to be in an article for the next issue?"

"What's the article about?" Donnie inquired.

"Equestrian heroes of course. I once did an photography shoot for Princess Twilight Sparkle and her friends, but now we have more celebrity heroes."

The four brothers looked at each other oddly, as Leo spoke, "Well, if it's for good press, ok."

"Yes!" the photographer said, as she took quick shots of each other the turtle ponies while secretly snipping a bit of hair from their heads, "Thank you so much for your time." she took off.

"She was in such a hurry." Karai noted.

"Doesn't anybody think something's off about this?" April asked.

"Yeah, like why weren't we asked to be in the article?" Casey asked sounding jealous.

"Da, is we not good enough?" Rocksteady asked.

"I sure feel insulted." Bebop crossed his arms.

"Guess that photographer pony heard of my mad skills." Mikey boasted.

"Don't flatter yourself." Raph replied, as they walked on.

Meanwhile, the photographer pony ran from from Ponyville and to the Everfree Forest where Krang and Shredder were waiting, "Well, did you get what you needed?" Shredder inquired.

The photographer pony changed shape and was Chrysalis who was smirking, "Oh, yes. I have all that I need to put the plan into motion."

"Excellent." Krang snickered.

"Now onto phase two." Chrysalis said, as she led the two away.

Soon they were walking through Everfree while stopping before a bunch of trees. Shredder spoke to the former Queen, "Are you absolutely sure this plan of yours will work?"

Chrysalis looked back and explained, "First time I tried this I wanted to harness the power of the Elements of Harmony which came from the Tree of Harmony. However only Twilight and her five friends were capable of harnessing them and knew where the tree was. So I gathered the materials in order to create clones of them so they would be able to use the elements for me."

"And how did that work out?" Krang asked.

Chrysalis sighed, "Sadly not the way I hoped. While the experiment worked I ended up creating bad clones of the girls. But not only were they bad, they were the complete opposite of Twilight and her friends."
