G5 Ponies in Real Life 2022 — Episode 5 — Copenhagen

Summary: Sprout kidnaps Sunny while she and Hitch are visiting the Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen so that he can make her his wife in the future and that they can become king and queen. In order to save her, Hitch must get the help from the city's residents visiting the castle and stop Sprout once and for all.

In Copenhagen, Denmark's largest and capital city, several people are visiting the Rosenborg Castle, which has so much great stuff. Meanwhile, Sunny and Hitch are wearing crowns, the former wearing a queen's crown and the latter having a king's crown.

"This just feels like we could be king and queen with the crowns we have on." Sunny told Hitch, who seems interested in that sort of idea as it does make a difference.

"Funny that in our universe, we don't have that many queens around, aside from Haven." Hitch replied, knowing how much that Haven is the only queen, as much as Pipp and Zipp being the only princesses around. "Hard to make you think, that another queen might exist in our world in the future one day, and we'd be happy seeing her."

Sunny was very excited that would be marrying a stallion, whether it is Hitch, or a different stallion she sees when she is the queen.

"And just take a look at the humans around, they aren't even wearing crowns, just regular clothes as usual despite this castle having royalty-related stuff you can discover inside!" Sunny said, as she is determined that she would be finding something that will give her luck, like treasure, jewelries, and more.

"Wait, this castle has jewelries?" Hitch asked Sunny, as he wanted to know if it was true or not.

Sunny looked at Hitch with a smug, responding, "Sure I'm sure! All kings have been liking treasure and jewelries and giving them for their wives. Maybe a king like you can do the same thing, too!"

"Okay, I guess you have a point." Hitch said nervously, putting his hoof behind his head, still he admits that what Sunny is saying is definitely true.

"If we can find any treasure and jewelry inside this traditional castle, I bet the people would be amazed at how great we are, knowing how much talent and strength we have in us." Sunny told Hitch, as she was still excited over the jewelries and treasures that are inside Rosenborg Castle.

The two continued touring outside the castle, hoping they can have a happy adventure as usual. However, what they didn't realize was that Sprout, a pony they have known since childhood turned into a villain, is planning to capture Sunny for a reason.

"So, Sunny is out with Hitch and they have crowns?" Sprout wondered, as he is looking out the window from the castle on the top floor, holding onto his binoculars, watching the two go out on another adventure. "If he thinks he'll be falling in love with her before I can, then he's got several things he doesn't know about me capturing Sunny. But, come on, Sprout, just wait for Hitch and Sunny be separated and the plan will be put into action!"

While Sprout was waiting for the two separating themselves so that he can carry his plan out, Hitch is interacting with several humans, showing them his crown a king wears.

"I just the crowns you are wearing!" said one woman with blonde hair, as she was overexcited seeing Hitch acting like a king.

"Aww, why thank you so much, everyone!" Hitch replied, interacting with several humans around him, as they really liked how much he is dreaming to become king one day as long as he has a crown on his head.

Sunny separated herself from Hitch, as she prefers looking for more jewelry and treasure inside Rosenborg Castle, unaware that Sprout is capturing her with a trap device that was something originally used for Izzy when she first entered Maretime Bay.

"I will let Hitch talk with the humans, and I will go inside this castle looking for treasure and jewelry." Sunny said with a determined look on her face as she walked her way towards the castle.

Sprout walked towards the window again, seeing that Hitch and Sunny are finally separated, therefore, he can put his plan into action.

"Okay, when I press the button on the remote controller I'm holding, she'll be trapped in a device I originally planned for Izzy a while back." Sprout said, as he started pressing the button on the remote controller matching the unicorn entrapment device.

As Sunny continued, the trap caught her, leaving her stuck, with no way out. "What's going on? Where am I?" Sunny wondered, as where she is at is in the trap device Sprout had set up.

Sunny started banging on the unicorn entrapment device with her hooves, and screamed for help, but there was no use.

"Hitch! HITCH!!!" Sunny screamed as kept banging on the trap device, but her screaming was futile, as she was far away from Hitch, and that getting help wouldn't do a thing, as the trap device was something difficult a pony to get out of.

"Yes, I captured Sunny!" Sprout shouted with excitement, succeeding in his first plan. His next plan was to marry her, becoming king and queen forever despite him being a villain and Sunny being a heroine.

Sunny continued screaming for help, yet it wasn't working, and then, Sprout pressed another button on the remote he was holding that will send Sunny to him.

The trap device containing Sunny in it took her below the ground, and ended up in the castle where Sprout is currently located at.

"It has been a while, Sunny Starscout." Sprout smirked at Sunny, as he has been waiting for this day that he would capture Sunny, whether she liked it or not, and it was now too late for her to call for Hitch for help.

"Sprout, I thought you ended up in jail and got fired for what you've done." Sunny angrily told Sprout, as she thought Sprout was punished for what he has done.

"Oh, no, you see, I escaped from prison and yes, I was fired from my job for my actions." Sprout replied, as a villain like him can't be held in prison forever. "Did you really think I would just sit in my prison cell at Zephyr Heights and let those stupid guards keep me locked? They forgot that I would have revenge on you and your friends, and it looks like you're the first example."

Sunny was confused on what Sprout was telling her, but when he said that escaped from prison at Zephyr Heights, it means he escaped when the guards weren't paying attention and that Queen Haven didn't call them out for his escape.

"What you are telling me is that you escaped from jail and the guards didn't pay attention on that, what happened afterwards?" Sunny asked Sprout, as she wanted an answer from him.

"That part you shouldn't worry about right now." Sprout told Sunny, as it is not her business about his escape from prison. "What I have next for you is that you'll be dating me, starting now, and we'll be husband and wife in the future in our universe!"

"Never, I am not dating you!" Sunny shouted at Sprout, as she suggested that he steps back.

Sprout ignored Sunny's protests, and he cornered her near the window, with no chance of escaping at all.

"There's no way out, Sunny." Sprout told Sunny, as again, calling for help from above would be useless and that Sunny was stuck with Sprout in the castle. "You will fall in love with me, whether you want it or not!"

"No, a heroine will never be in love with a villain like you! We'd make a terrible couple!" Sunny yelled, as she would never in her life date a villain like Sprout.

Sunny eventually started to slide down under Sprout, making him being behind her, though he was still not letting her escape from him.

"Try the tricks all you want, Sunny. There's no way you can outsmart me for a second time." Sprout reminded Sunny, as he already knows that Sunny can't always find ways that will make her the winner. "I have my own tricks, and I got another thing carried with me."

Sprout pulled out his ray gun from his bag, deciding to use it on Sunny to knock her out unconscious.

"What is that?" Sunny asked, as the weapon Sprout is holding was something she never saw before in her own universe. "This little friend is the ray gun." Sprout replied, as he introduced her to his own weapon for the first time.

"If you think I'm gonna let you hit me with that ray gun, then you are sadly mistaken." Sunny told Sprout in a brave voice, angering him.

"You dare mock my ray gun?!" Sprout said in anger, upset over what Sunny just said right directly at him. "Oh, you asked for it!"

Sunny started running away as Sprout fired laser beams from his ray gun. Things at first started okay, but when Sprout fired a seventh shot, it finally hits Sunny in the back, which knocks her out unconscious.

"Now you won't be making another move." Sprout said, approaching towards the unconscious Sunny lying on the floor.

Back with Hitch, he was still showing humans his crown, unaware that Sunny has been kidnapped.

"My, why don't you show us just what a king can really do?" asked one brunette lady with blue eyes, as she really wanted Hitch doing something that all kings would do.

"I will do that thing later." Hitch told the humans, as he instead prefer looking for Sunny. Nevertheless, we waved goodbye at the humans behind him, and continued his search for the mare he has been knowing for years, Sunny Starscout.

However, as he began searching for Sunny, Hitch realized that she is gone. "Wh-what happened? Where's Sunny?" He wondered and started panicking over Sunny's disappearance, not knowing that Sprout has kidnapped her not too long ago when he and Sunny became separated from each other.

"I don't know what she's been doing, but I'm gonna find out, right now!" Hitch said with a determined look on his face, as ran towards the castle to look for her inside.

As he made his way towards Rosenborg Castle, he started seeing his entrance that will lead into rescuing Sunny from Sprout. Inside, he was inside the area filled with weapons, such as swords.

"Looking at these swords make me believe a true king would save the queen with these weapons." Hitch said himself, thinking this will help him save Sunny, but it wouldn't since it would get him into trouble himself.

Hitch continued his search inside the castle for Sunny, knowing how much he cares for her as much as she does for him.

Back with Sprout, he was standing close towards Sunny, and started seeing her wake up from her unconsciousness. "Why, enjoyed sleeping for a couple minutes, sunshine?" Sprout asked Sunny, wondering how much she was loving her sleep while knocked out unconscious.

"N-No…" Sunny said as she finally spoke again.

"Hmph, that's a shame on you 'cause there's no one that can save you, and that you'll fall in love with the greatest stallion who has ever walked the earth… Sprout Cloverleaf!" Sprout told Sunny, looking out at the window, seeing nothing except humans chatting with each other.

"That voice… It sounds familiar." Hitch heard a voice from above, which was Sprout's. "I better get moving and rescue her before things become an ugly situation." He said, moving quick on his hooves as much as possible.

Several minutes, stuck inside the The Knights' Hall, Sunny was now tied to a chair, which would prevent her from escaping.

"You being tied up is the perfect idea that will stop you from being rescued." Sprout told Sunny, as he, like other villains who do the same situation with having a hero or heroine tied up, makes sure they wouldn't get any help, no matter how much they tried.

"Wait until I find a way, and then I will attack with my own hooves." Sunny responded in anger, knowing how much she hates Sprout.

Sprout laughed at Sunny's reply towards him, like her threats would hurt him at all. "Ha! As if you did had a chance getting out of the chair." He told her, since she has neither a horn nor wings that could set her free.

Hitch walked up even further until he was on the first floor, where he reached the stair turret, and Sunny and Sprout's voices heard from above him on the second floor.

"If I don't do something, then I'll never be able to save her." Hitch said, as he knew that he can't rescue Sunny alone, and he must find a way that will help him save her.

Hitch looked out at a window and still saw humans outside, and he would realize that they are only ones who can assist him right now. "Humans, you must help me!" He yelled, getting the humans his attention as much as possible while opening the window.

The humans, hearing Hitch's shouting, rushed so that they can understand him more.

"What's happening, brave king?" asked one woman with blonde hair wearing a yellow modern dress, as she and the other humans wanted to know what the problem was with Hitch right now.

"My friend, Sunny, is in danger, and I need everyone to help me save her from a stallion I've known since childhood turned into an enemy!" Hitch told the humans as loud as possible.

With the humans now running towards the castle and help Hitch, Sprout put himself at a halt when he heard voices from outside, while Hitch continued running up the stairs to reach the second floor.

"Huh? Where are the humans going?" Sprout wondered, looking out the window and saw humans enter the castle.

"Someone's finally gonna come and rescue me!" Sunny said with excitement seeing that the humans will help her friend Hitch and prepare for battle against Sprout. "Hitch, please save me. You'd be the greatest stallion I've ever known that'll save me from this tyrant!"

"Wait, what?" Sprout asked Sunny, as he believed she was not making any sense. However, he heard the door opening up, in which Hitch finally showed himself, knowing that he must fight off Sprout until the humans arrive.

"Sorry keep you waiting, traitor!" Hitch told Sprout, as he was completely ready for battle against his former friend turned enemy.

Sprout was slightly excited that he saw the look on Hitch's face, though he still admits that it isn't too late to see him again.

"Hitch, out of all the ponies… that would stop my plans from marrying this mare you have cared for the most." Sprout told Hitch, refusing to let Hitch ruin his plans from marrying Sunny so that they can be king and queen forever.

"You won't be marrying her as long as I'm the one and only stallion that stops from laying a hoof on her!" Hitch argued, as he is not a villain like Sprout get what he wants. "Sunny will definitely not agree with you because a heroine like her will never marry a villain like you, and I'm gonna end that right now!"

Sunny eventually started breaking free from the chair she tied up on. "No, how can this be?!" Sprout said in anger, seeing Sunny finally standing on four hooves once again.

"I told you that I can break free!" Sunny told Hitch with a confident smile on her face, annoying Sprout. "And today, you will be stopped for good this time and you will not carry another plan ever again!"

"Sunny, leave this place and wait for me outside! I will hold him off until the humans arrive." Hitch told Sunny, giving her his advice so that she can stay safe as much as possible.

"Right." Sunny responded, as she ran away from the two stallions who are now in a duel match before the humans could come. However, Sprout pulled out his ray gun he had earlier, and fired a shot at her, knocking her out unconscious again.

Hitch watched in shock, witnessing Sunny on the floor with no words coming out.

"This time she'll be tied up permanently." Sprout said, walking towards Sunny, but as he approached, Hitch unexpectedly appeared in front of him, in which he slapped him in the face with his hoof.

"Stay away from her!" Hitch warned Sprout, as he did not want him putting another hoof on Sunny despite her being knocked out unconscious for a second time.

Sprout laughed at Hitch's protest, but he didn't care about it. "But she's not moving, she's currently knocked out unconscious from a shot from the ray gun I've fired just moments ago." He told her with a sarcastic look on his face, knowing there's noting Hitch can do about it.

Meanwhile, the humans are on the first floor, in which they are approaching themselves even further to the floor above them. "We gotta help Hitch!" said one man in a jester costume, as he and the others continued storming the castle and find Sprout.

Hitch kept on fighting with Sprout without any weapons despite Sprout still having his ray gun with him, though.

"Oh, you don't wanna fight me with any weapons?" Sprout asked Hitch, wondering he isn't carrying any weapons with him. "There's no need for a weapon being carried with me. I can fight you without one." Hitch told Sprout, feeling so determined in himself that he knows how he can handle Sprout with a single weapon with him.

"If that's the way you prefer it, I guess it'll go that way then." Sprout said before starting the battle with his former friend.

Hitch dodged Sprout's laser beams coming from the ray gun as much as possible. "Good job dodging my hits, but let's see you dodge this!" Sprout said as he fired a larger laser beam at Hitch, though he was still keeping with Sprout's attacks.

"They should be coming and second…" Hitch muttered under his breath, knowing that he is not enough to deal with Sprout.

"I'm sorry, you said what?" Sprout asked Hitch, wondering what he was talking about, only for him to turn around and see humans appearing coming behind even further. "Great, the humans have entered the castle!"

Hitch saw the humans finally coming in and take his place so that he and Sunny can escape. "I'm gonna need you humans to deal with Sprout while I get me and Sunny outta this place." Hitch told the humans as he picked up Sunny while making his escape.

"Yes, we will do that." The humans said before looking at Sprout was eventually surrounded.

"Th-this can't be…!" Sprout said in frustration, as he was outclassed with several humans cornering him and one human knocked the ray gun from his hooves and stomped on it.

"Now you will cause no harm towards anyone else." said one man wearing a knight suit as he and the others tied up Sprout in the same chair that Sunny was placed earlier.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS, SUNNY AND HITCH!!!" Sprout screamed in frustration, as his plans have failed once again. "When I break free, you and the other pony friends will feel my true terror!"

Back outside, Hitch was carrying an unconscious Sunny on his back before putting her on the ground to make sure she was still alive. "Sunny, Sunny! Wake up!" He said, as he knows that it's not the end of Sunny's life.

Sunny finally woke up after being knocked out, regaining her consciousness.

"Yes, I knew you'd still be alive!" Hitch shouted with happiness, as he was so happy that Sunny could talk again, which makes him proud.

"Where's Sprout?" Sunny asked Hitch, wondering what happened while she was knocked out cold inside the castle. "Don't worry, the humans have dealt with him, and I believe they have tied him up already."

"I hope he has learned his lesson this time because if he doesn't, we have something just for him." Sunny told Hitch, as she was really tired with Sprout doing so much evil things, wishing that one day Sprout could redeem himself.

"Hmm, that's not gonna be so easy for him to learn." Hitch replied, realizing that Sprout is a villain and would have a hard time understanding what friendship is.

Sunny and Hitch still had the crowns on them the entire time, and continued their journey elsewhere in Copenhagen, hoping that another day is better and they still help the humans and the planet Earth become a better and healthy environment.
