[SCENE B]
[SCENE C, SUBSECTION ii]

Hitch Trailblazer: [amplified]📣Everypony, listen up!

Parole Officer: (Armed with launcher and multiple rounds of ammunition)
Take those tails out from between your legs and gather as many tables, signs, bricks and any heavy debris and place them all around that glowin’ tree!

Deputy Mare: (Wearing heavy police armour and armed with hoof cannon)
What are ya lousy nags cowering around here for??? The Sheriff ain’t paying you to hide!

Hitch Trailblazer: [amplified] 📣I know you’re scared. But we’re stronger together. We’re safer if we’re together!

Deputy Mare: And we will kick villainess’ butts HARDER if we FIGHT together!!

Parole Officer: There will be NO room for cowardice in OUR town, ponies!

Hitch Trailblazer: [amplified] 📣 Everypony, to the Together Tree!

Sprout: [gulps]

Deputy Mare: ON THE DOUBLE!! GO GO GO GO GO!!!!!

Parole Officer: Cousin, the vortex echo cannon is now fully operational!

Deputy Mare: And what about the flank cannons??

Parole Officer: They’re still being transported from the old factory dump! They might not make it here in time!

Deputy Mare: Then these bad boys will have to do! You ready, soldier??!!

Parole Officer: More than ever! This fugitive has messed with the WRONG town!!

Hitch Trailblazer: See? It’s cool. We’re safe here together. Everything is— [gasps]

[Tree tentacles emerging and whooshing]

Deputy Mare: EVERYPONY, to their battle stations!! Prepare the cannons!!
(Aims vortex cannon at the tree)

Parole Officer: (Aiming vortex cannon) COME ON!! Show those ugly tendrils…!

Sprout: Not good! Everything is not good!

(Running away from tendrils)

Parole Officer: FIIIIRRREEEE!!!!!!!

(Multiple Vortex cannons blasting nails, wood chips, pebbles and other sharp debris at the tree)

(Multiple tendrils assaulted by scatter shot, but remains unaffected)

(Tendril steals Sprout’s cutie mark)

Sprout: AHH, MY ESSENCE!

Parole Officer: Uh oh….

(Tendrils lay waste on the vortex cannons, destroying most of the artillery)

Parole Officer: I knew I should’ve packed more tree-killer…

(Fires stingballs at tendrils, stunning them and repelling them away from the ponies)

Parole Officer: DEPUTY, help me out here!!!

Deputy Mare: Everypony, don’t let them take ONE swipe at our flanks!!

(Firing baton rounds at the tendrils to keep them away from the ponies)

Zipp Storm: It’s not safe!

Inspector Mare: SISTER, NOOO!! It’s going to kill you!!!

Izzy Moonbow: Get away!

Pipp Petals: We were wrong!

Butler: Everypony, retreat back to your abodes!!

Foster Twins: SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!

Hitch Trailblazer: Ohhhh, this is not good.

Deputy Mare: Everypony, HOLD THE LINE!!!
(Chucks frag bomb at the tendrils, damages the tendrils with shrapnel)

Hitch Trailblazer: Okay, opposite plan! Everypony split up! Get away from the tree!

Parole Officer: What in the hay are you ALL running from??!! Get back here and fight, or I will throw ALL of you in jail for desertion!!

@Background Pony #DB7C

Dahlia: But… But you said to go—

Sprout: My cutie mark! [high-pitched] Mommy! I want it back!

Parole Officer: I’LL give a cutie mark through bruised paddling on your backside if you DON’T get back here and push these tentacles back to Tartarus!!!

(Fires pepperball round at tendrils, causing them to squirm away and flare up)

Zipp Storm: If the tree here in Maretime Bay is doing all this,…

…then what about the one in Zephyr Heights?!

[phone buzzing]

[“Everything is Gonna Be Okay” ringtone]

Queen Haven: You’ve reached her Royal Majesty Queen Haven of Zephyr Heights’ voicemail. Please leave your message after Cloudpuff’s bark! [laughs]

Cloudpuff: [barks]

[phone beeping]

Pipp Petals: No answer!

Butler: Oh deary me! They must had got their cutie marks absorbed by the tree as well! This is an international DISASTER!! What are we supposed to do, Princess Zephyrina!!??

Zipp Storm: Did you leave a message?

Pipp Petals: She doesn’t know how to check her messages!

Butler: She cannot even operate a rotary phone without accidentally dialing a hot stallion escort line!!!

Inspector Mare: WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT US AT A TIME LIKE THIS??!!!!

Butler: I DO NOT KNOW!! But it SURE beats running around and panicking!!!

Hitch Trailblazer: We have to warn Zephyr Heights!

Butler: …..I’m afraid…it might be already too late…

Deputy Mare: Okay! I managed to push them back for now, but we first need to evacuate the rest of the town! We can’t push these roots back any longer!

Parole Officer: Who knew tree removal could have us all seriously stumped?!

[tires screeching]

[horn honking “My Little Pony” theme]

Butler: LOOK, over there! It’s Miss Moonbow!!

Zipp Storm: Izzy?!

Izzy Moonbow: Okay! I’ve got Bridlewood!

Colt Twin: We’ll call as soon as we know every unicorn in Bridlewood is okay!

Filly Twin: Especially our dear mama!

Izzy Moonbow: Hitch, you’re in charge of here! You listen to me. Can you handle this as a solo Hitch mission?

Deputy Mare: Uhhh, HELLO!??? There’s THREE of us here???

Parole Officer: He’s not fighting this battle alone, cobhead!

Hitch Trailblazer: I don’t know! Uh, I mean, uh…

Deputy Mare: SHERIFF, IT’S GETTING WORSE!!!!
(Fires rubber buckshot at the growing tendrils)

Hitch Trailblazer: … where are Sunny and Misty?

Zipp Storm: They’re at the Brighthouse on the lookout!

Inspector Mare: Professor’s got all his railguns at the ready as we speak! I just pray to Celestia and Twilight that they could actually hold off an evil alicorn with the power of a thousand oil fires!!

Zipp Storm: At least we know the crystals are safe.

Inspector Mare: (Points at glitchy rainbow signal) Uhhhhhh, DEFINE safe!!!
