//-------------------------------------------------------// The Knights Who Say Neigh -by Emerald Ray- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The...uhm 'Journey' Begins! //-------------------------------------------------------// The...uhm 'Journey' Begins! Twilight awoke one afternoon feeling as if she could take on the world! (But in reality, not.) for she just woke...how could she take on the world? also, what does that term even mean...anyways lets move on with the story I guess. She blissfully trotted through Canterlot as if she had owned the town, (But in reality- oh whatever.) waving to any bystander that tread her path - repeating the greetings - ‘hello’ ‘hi’ and ‘ugh’. (Wait that last one isn’t right, I need to check my reference files again.) she eventually subsided unto her destination which was of course the library! (Who’s writing this? I’m still sorting my reference-) she had to study up on a few subjects that were relevant to particular matters, (Wow...what a way to put it. “particular matters”, jeez.) and wanted to reminisce in the library she once lived in for many years. (There we go! done with my files now I can-) “Spike! spike! where are my things?” The purple mare told with a holler. Spike - barely keeping up and gasping for air “Right...here” He then forcefully flung her things unto the ground, “Gosh twilight why did you have to bring so many heavy books? I mean what are these” the dragon then shuffled through the dusty books that now laid on the ground “Old Human History - Shrubbery 101 - what even is a ‘shrubbery’?” Spike exclaimed (Ahem...let ME continue the story you invisible feend!) “I’ve been looking into human history lately (Obviously we already know, it was one of the two books spike had.) and found something fairly interesting about one piece of dialogue, It tells in chapter eighty-three that there was a order of Knights who called themselves ‘Knights Who Say Ni’ and then quickly transitioned to ‘Knights Who Say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!’. Isn’t that fascinating? it also say something about ‘the film industry’ and ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’ but I disregarded those things. Spike rolled his eyes, “Yeah...sure twilight.” “Well I won’t be needing your help so you can go off if you want...but I sure would like some company-” But before the winged unicorn could finish her sentence the dragon was fast asleep on a pile of blankets. WHAT WILL BECOME OF TWILIGHT’S STUDY? WILL THE KNIGHTS WHO SAY EKKI-EKKI-EKKI-PITANG-ZOOM-BOING! HAVE ANY RELEVANCE AT ALL? WILL SPIKE EVER WAKE UP?  WHAT IS A ‘SHRUBBERY’? DID I FORGET TO TAKE MY MEDICATION? Continuation. (If you so please to read.) Twilight Sparkle had discovered a few key pieces of information the week she study on the Knights Who Say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing! she had discovered that they supposedly were residing within the...Everfree Forest. (I know, how dramatic, and original...don’t get me wrong there’s nothing original about making a My Little Pony parody of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, but come on people why does everything evil come from the Everfree?) So the starlet alicorn decided she needed her friends to help her seek out this most of imported legends. (And how is this relevant to anything Canon? I mean the Knights Who Say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing! were recorded in a history book...as in old, not relevant any longer.) She gathered up her friends and some supplies and proceeded into the spookyEverfree Forest. “So, uh Twilight - why are we doing this again?” Applejack said with a worrisome tone. “Because if we can find the Knights Who Say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing! we could question them on the ol’ fragments of the human empire...imagine the information who could obtain from them!” Twilight said with a giggle. Pinkie Pie bouncing about - “Heehee, ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing! ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!” she then abruptly broke out into a tune “We must find the Knights of yesters dawn, And we must discover the secrets of olden gone, Because if we don’t! however will we know about you...ou-ouo! The Knights Who Say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing! Who Say ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing! Because if we don’t! however will we know about you...ou-ouo!” “...Really pinkie?” Rainbow Dash hovering above said. “Hold on you guys I think I see someone...Hello!” Spike bellowed. Rainbow Dash quickly swept over to the location spike allegedly say this figure, “Aye! anyone out there?” the cyan pegasus was surely pulled from the tail by Twilight's magic, “Shhh! don’t you remember where we are?” She quietly told. Rainbow Dash embarrassed - “Oh...yeah.” “You best not startle any creatures...because we sure as well know what that’s like.” Applejack exclaimed Fluttershy - in the background - added “Yeah...like Timber Wolves or Crockodiles, or especially not-” But before she could finished her statement they were all surprised to see a humanoid knight spring forth from the bushes onto the middle of the small wooden bridge over a small dirt ditch. The six ponies and one little dragon gasped. “None shall pass…” the knight in black apparel said. “Who-who are you?” Twilight asked flummoxed “None shall pass…” the knight standing idle resting his arms on his piked sword told again. “Why can’t we pass?” she said, confused as ever The knight didn’t blink twice before saying “None shall pass…” “Step aside twilight, I’ll handle it from here.” Rarity said swaying her mane as she galloped towards the black knight. Rarity with a glimmer in her eyes asked “Hello there brave Sir. Knight, you wouldn’t mind if my friends and I passed this bridge now would you?” But before the beautiful pony even had time to breathe the knight said yet again, “None shall pass…” “Oh, but wouldn’t you be a darling and let us through?” but surely enough the knight replied “None shall pass…” “Obviously were not getting anywhere fast rarity.” The rainbow-mane pony pointed out. Rarity frustrated trotted back into the group of ponies, “Maybe you could come to terms with him Fluttershy. it’s worth a shot.” the white-coat mare conjectured. Fluttershy calmly said “Oh...I don’t know If it would make a difference-” the poor pegasus was swiftly shot down when all of the multi-colored ponies yelled “DO IT!” Fluttershy hovering a feet or so from the ground shrieked, and slowly flew towards the knight. “Uhm, hello scary knight...would you maybe let us through? if not that’s perfectly fine.” She asked switching visuals between the knight and the ground. “Yes, sure.” he replied stepping aside with his arm leading the way they wanted to go. “Oh really?” fluttershy said ecstatic. They started to trot once more, but no more than a few inches later, “None shall pass…” the annoyance of a black knight said as he swung back into his previous location. “Oh come on!” Rainbow Dash yelled - seemingly speaking for the group “Forget it we’re taking this guy down!” the blue mare said as she zoomed back fifty feet and forward again right into the stubborn knight - knocking him off his feet DID THE KNIGHT SUFFER A FLESH WOUND WHEN HE FELL? WILL RAINBOW DASH SMITE SAID KNIGHT DEAD? WHAT WILL BECOME OF THEIR JOURNEY? SERIOUSLY THOUGH, WHAT IS A ‘SHRUBBERY’? Continuation. (It was then the readers realized...are we being doped?)
