Actually, it's just one:

However, I do now have an idea for why Apple Bloom could've been kidnapped:
 * Sailor Galaxia's boyfriend, Evil Emperor Zurg, could've been Princess Luna's ex-boyfriend whom she dumped after it was discovered he was using her to gain access to the Canterlot Royal Vault so he can steal all the valuables within, so he conspired with Galaxia, Master Frown, and Brock to kidnap Apple Bloom out of revenge.


 * The original plan could've been to kidnap Celestia herself, but Brock convinced the other three to reconsider, as kidnapping a member of the Canterlot Royalty is considered a very serious crime in the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic universe (Well, from my point of view anyway), and Galaxia suggested Apple Bloom simply because she found her cute and wanted her as a pet.
