The Bearer of the Sword

We went inside the old, wooden door. It looked like some sort of bar you see in the ghetto parts of Manehattan. Ponies were looking at us as if we did some sort of crime.

"This is our hideout." Rainbow Dash said. "Not too shabby, in my opinion."

"How did you build this so quickly?" I asked. "Wasn't Manehattan the first attack?"

"There were others destroyin' other towns." Applejack, the mare who was guarding the door, said. "The only known attacks were Fillydeplhia, Ponyville, Canterlot, and, now, Manehattan."

"Will der' be any moh' attacks?" Babs said.

"Possibly." Rainbow Dash replied. "We predict the next attack will be in Saddle Arabia." The ponies were still looking at us.

"Why are they staring at us?" I said.

"Yah don't know, do yah?" Applejack said.

"Know? KNOW? I've only been here for about two seconds and already they are probably thinking we are criminals!" I yelled.

"He doesn't know." AJ said.

"We need somepony to tell him." Rainbow added.

"What are you telling me? What do I not know?" I asked.

"Ah know somepony." AJ said. "Twilight!" A purple mare came.

"Yes?" Twilight asked.

"Explain the prophecy." AJ said.

"Fine, I'll do it."

"Finally!" I said. "Somepony who can explain what's going on!"

"But you'll have to come with me without anypony else." Twilight said.

"Fine. Just please tell me what's going on!" We walked into a room. The walls, ceiling and floor were wooden. Twilight closed the door.

"So, what are you supposed to tell me?" I said. Suddenly, out of nowhere, Twilight grabbed a knife and put it on my neck.

"I don't like your rudeness." Twilight said seriously and quietly. "You always blabbering about stupid, little things. I am starting to think you're not the guy we are looking for."

"Fine, I'll stop being rude. Just please tell me what's going on, and put down that knife!" I demanded.

Twilight slowly put down the knife, and sighed. "The prophecy goes like this: Somepony, you, will get a sword from Starswirl the bear-"

"THE Starswirl the Bearded?" I said with excitement.

"Apparently so. But we can't locate it." Twilight said

"Why?"

It's a lost artifact. Nopony has found it, but rumours have it that King Sombra has it. And he's going to kill you with it."

"Well, why?" I asked.

"I DON'T KNOW! TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!" Twilight randomly cried out in frustration. She heavily sighed. "Sorry for the outburst. You just act so stupid sometimes."

She came over to me and put her hoof on my shoulder. "But I know, you will do great things and stop this horrible war." Twilight walked to the door and opened it. "Follow me. I have some things to tell you."

I followed her outside where everypony was talking. Rio was with Rainbow Dash and a turtle, and Babs was with the CMCs.

"You will be paired up with our top spy." Twilight said. "But you need to leave, since she is on a mission somewhere else."

"Do I have to leave now? I want to meet the other ponies!" I said.

Twilight giggled. "You'll meet the others soon enough." I continued following Twilight outside. The sky was pitch black, with no stars in sight. I could still see the burning and collapsing buildings of Manehattan. I could still hear the screams of ponies.

Twilight handed me a map. "You will fly to Fillydelphia. There you will meet our top spy. But be careful, changelings have taken over, so there will be flank-tons of guards."

"Why didn't they destroy Fillydelphia like they did with Manehattan?" I asked.

"They know Manehattan is where you live. So they destroyed it, unlike Fillydelphia, which they took over, not destroyed." It became quiet for twenty seconds. "Well, se you later!" Twilight came over to me and hugged me. I didn't hug back because I was surprised that she actually liked me. She let go and went back to base. I flew off to go to Fillydelphia.
