Ponies?

“You’ve got to be f***ing kidding me! Ponies!?” Seth exclaimed towards Paul.

“You drag me into a supposed ‘war to save humankind’, stick me in a stupid submarine so we can go through a portal to another world, and it’s just a war against ponies! Gees dude! What’d you do? Kill their ‘magical pony princess’ or something!?”

Paul looked at him for a second before responding “Actually… yes. We accidentally killed their princess, and now they’re mad at us. Like really mad. That’s not important right now, we need you, cause you’re magical powers will really be able to help us in this war. We’re barely standing our ground as it is! Trust me, there’s more to these ponies then meets the eye. I’ll explain more when we get to base.” He says, opening up the hatch, motioning for Seth to leave the submarine.

Seth and Paul then head off towards an impromptu military base set up near the shore of the large lake they appeared in. They get there with no troubles, and then walk over into one of the tents, and they take their seats. Paul pours them both a mug of coffee, and then starts his explanation.

“Ok, here’s the deal. We accidentally killed one of their princesses. A mare by the name of ‘Mi Amore Cadenza’, and since then the ponies have been… less than kind. We bear no ill will towards these ‘ponies’, but they refuse to listen. Their military captain, a stallion of the name ‘Shining Armor’, has been sending his soldiers after us ever since, and their remaining monarchs, as far as we can tell, are backing him completely. In order to escape this place, we will need to find a way to close the portal between our worlds. And that’s where you come in. You are one of the few people on the planet who have access to the magical arts, something on which this world thrives. As such we are at a disadvantage, unless we wish to pull our ‘wild card’ on them. But we’re hoping it won’t come to that,”

Seth stops him, and asks “Wild card? What do you mean by a wild card?”

Paul looks at him unamused. “You know America. What do you think America’s ‘wild card’ would be?”

Seth thinks for a minute, before responding “Nukes?”

Paul nods his head as confirmation before continuing his briefing, “As you can probably guess, we don’t want it to ever come to that, and that’s why we brought you here. We need you to find a way to close the portal before we’re overrun.”

Seth thinks over the situation for several minutes, before responding. “Fine, I’ll help. But I’m expecting a huge paycheck from all this! I aint putting my life on the line for some stupid war against magical talking ponies!”

Paul smiles, and helps Seth up.

“Excellent! In that case I’ll go introduce you to your new co-workers.”
