Particularly the site known as, Rainbow Dash Network. If you haven’t heard of RDN, then you are dumb. Nah, just kidding! :D It’s a site devoted to the popular show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. If you know anything about the Internet, then you have heard of the odd fan base that spawned from it; commonly known as the bronies. Naturally, some websites were created to act like a base of this fandom. Equestria Daily is the world-renowned king of the websites. But some decided to create a social networking site based on bronies. Many were made, but there is a clash between only two. Pony Square and the subject of this story, Rainbow Dash Network. You see there are many users on the site. Some on that site would say that it it is the best site they ever been on because they can actually talk to people and socialize. Though, today, something different happened to some of them. APPLEOOSA ‘...Whoa....What happened?’ Thought the pony, ‘Where am I? What is this place?’ The pony looked around at his surroundings to figure out where he was. From what he saw, he was in an alley of sorts between two wooden building-like structures. He slowly walked out, wincing at the sun, and noticed that he was in the middle of a town reminiscent of the wild west. The pony looked around to see if there were anyone in the town. But he didn't see any people; oh no, he saw ponies. ‘Ohhhhhhh, crap,’ he thought. ‘This is going to be a loooooooong day.’ Ohhhhhhh, crap,’ he thought. ‘This is going to be a loooooooong day.’ CANTERLOT It was an average day in Equestria’s capital. Princess Celestia was awaiting the arrival of her star pupil to a seminar that she would be hosting. Twilight had asked her friends to come with her, but they sadly had to turn down the invitation. It was understandable, and in any case, she would be arriving any minute now. ‘Hopefully, she will arrive sooner so she can help me out with this pesky fly!’ SMACK! ‘Darn it!’ ***************************************************************************************** ‘What the...? How the heck did I get here?’ The newcomer was dizzy from his sudden travel. He began to look around to see if he knew where he was. He first noticed that he was in some kind of library and that there was a window nearby. He decided to look out of it to see where he was and discovered that he was in a castle which looked familiar to him, but couldn’t quite figure out how. He tried to see if there was anyone outside that could tell him where he was, but there was no one. Nothing but a group of horses. ‘Well, I guess I need to go out and try to find someone,’ he thought. He was about to leave until he saw the door open... ***************************************************************************************** “Princess Celestia!” Twilight yelled as she ran up to her mentor. “Welcome, Twilight, How was the train ride?” Asked her mentor. “It was great, thank you,” Twilight answered. “It has been a long time since the Gala, and since the seminar does not start until tomorrow, let us talk about your time in Ponyville in detail,” Celestia said. Twilight gave a quick squeal in excitement, and began to think of all the things she had experienced while in Ponyville since the Grand Galloping Gala and tried to decide on what to start with. Twilight looked up to her teacher, noticing that the princess seemed annoyed or frustrated about something. Her eyes were staring wildly and angry at something along the corridors of the palace. That was when she heard a low buzzing sound. SMACK! Twilight yelped from the sudden sound. “Sorry, Twilight.” Celestia said apologetically. “There has been a pesky fly going around and it has gotten on my last nerve.” Twilight watched as a small black dot floated past her face and towards the entrance to the private library. “Let’s follow it into the library. In there we could trap it and get rid of it,” Twilight suggested. The two walked up to the door, seeing that the fly was trying to get in. Twilight’s horn glowed as she levitated an empty flower bowl that was nearby. Celestia raised the swatter with hers, and nudged the door open, letting the fly in. **************************************************************************************** The newcomer freaked out the moment the door opened. He started frantically looking around to see if there were any hiding spots within the room, but there were none. There were only shelves on top of shelves of books around the room and a few cushions on the ground. The only way to hide would be to either hope that the cushions didn’t give him away, or hope that there would be something for him to hang on to outside the windows. If he chose the latter, he could risk being seen by the crowd below. Sweat began to run down his back. The only option other than hiding is to brace for the confusion that was about to start when he is seen by whoever is coming through the door. He would have expected some guards or security, but what he saw were two horses coming through the door. One was a tall white horse with a horn and a pair of wings and a glowing, multi-coloured mane and tail. The other was a shorter lavender unicorn with a purple mane and tail with pink stripes going down them. ‘You have got to be kidding me!’ The stranger and the two horses stared at each other. CLOUDSDALE It was a calm and peaceful day in Cloudsdale, everything was going according to schedule in terms of weather. The pegasi were able to spend the rest of the week to relax or practice, mainly practice. Though the main reason they are is that the Wonderbolts were in town and the younger pegasi wanted to show off their stuff. What surprised the young ones was that the Wonderbolts weren’t out and about as they usually are, but instead taking some R&R after a dragon attack in Ponyville a couple days ago. Where they were staying, they kept to themselves and the employees of the spa they were staying in. Though some say that the spa isn’t fit for ponies of their popularity, but it is the place they prefer to go to. Soarin’, Blaze and Fleetfoot were by the pool area, going through the best massages, while Spitfire was just floating in the pool. They were trying to heal their wings and backs since the purple dragon threw a large bell at them, causing them to slam into the mountain nearby. “We should do this more often.” Soarin’ said to his compatriots. He was an inch from sleep from the massage he is receiving. “You wish. We barely find the time to take R&R due to our tough schedule.”replied Blaze, “Most ponies think that we spend most of our time practicing, but instead we just go to public events. Speaking of which, we need to get ready for the next Best Flyers Competition.” “Nothing could beat last year's competition. After what Rainbow Dash pulled off, nothing could beat that.” Fleetfoot said. “But my question is that who is going to judge this year’s competition?” “Wave Chill, Soarin’, Spitfire, Misty, Fire Streak, and myself judged last years.” answered Blaze. “That leaves You, High Winds, Lightning Streak, and Surprise.” “Say, didn’t we see Dash at the Gala last year? Didn’t she and her friends make it into a frenzy?” asked Fleetfoot. Blaze shrugged. “I wasn’t there, but I did hear that Blueblood got caked in the face. I wish I’d seen that!” “Well Soarin’ was there. Hey, Soarin’, care to tell us your tale of the Gala last year, again?” There was no response. “Soarin’?” Soarin’ had fallen asleep from the massage. His companions snickered at the sleep-face he was making. They then turned their heads to talk to Spitfire about her time at the Gala when they noticed a pegasus falling and flailing its limbs straight down into the pool. Spitfire, shocked by the large splash dived under the water. The pegasus that had fallen immediately came up, still scared out of their mind, trying to stay afloat. The other Wonderbolts just stared in shock towards what was happening in front of them. Spitfire came up for air, giving daggers at the pegasus that interrupted her nirvanna in the water. The pegasus had a peach-colored coat, with a green-bushy tail and mane. They also had a green glasses and a now wet vest. “What the hay?” Spitfire yelled as she got out of the pool. The pegasus was on the deck coughing out water. “Hey!” Spitfire slightly shoved the pegasi. “What the hay was that for?” The pegasus finally looked up at looked at Spitfire. Their eyes became saucers and they looked over their shoulder and looked at their wings and began to flap them. They eventually looked back at the Wonderbolts. And right then and there the peach-colored pegasus fainted. FILLYDELPHIA It was a calm and quiet day in the city of Fillyedelphia. The city was finally economically stable after an infestation of parasprites invaded the city. Though its population isn’t in the upper class, the city is on par with Manehattan. The farmers were able to open a market so that they could get money during the season and keep their jobs. The newcomer landed in a farm. Disoriented, he walked in a zig-zag pattern through the field until he could finally get his head clear. He began to study his surroundings, and noticed that he was in the middle of a lush green field, and that looking west from this location revealed a view of a city nearby. Realising he had few other options other than to walk there, he began to attempt to walk. Now that his mind was clear, he noticed he wasn't moving normally. He stopped and looked over himself, finding that he had a tail, mane, and no hands. ‘Great. I’m in a bad fanfic,’ thought the pony. As he was walking down hill, he was tackled by someone, or somepony, behind him. The pony immediately jumped up to face his attacker. It was a red muscular pony, with a blond mane and tail and freckles. ‘The first pony I meetis Big Mac. This is going to be perfect,’ He thought. “Who are you?” asked Big Mac. ‘Can’t believe I am going to do this.’ “commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese” the pony deadpanned. Big mac just stared at the pony, confused. “What?” “Just call me Commodore Crazy,” he replied. “Okay then, Commodore Crazy, why are you on my family's field?” “To be perfectly honest, I have no idea.” “Well since you were trespassing, you are going to have to come with-” Before the red stallion could finish his sentence, Commodore made a run for it down the hill towards the city. Big Mac soon gave chase. ‘No wonder his name is Crazy,’he thought. ‘Running, Running, Running, Running!’ Commodore Crazy yelled in his head. He turned his head around and saw the red stallion was gaining on him. ‘Come on legs, get a move on!’ ***************************************************************************************** Fillydelphia was unaware of the chase that was about to enter their city, because they were having a chase of their own. A couple minutes ago, a grey-coated pony was caught inside a jewelry store. When it was closed. Needless to say, there was no room for discussion. The pony is now hidden behind a dumpster in a dark alley. ‘Why the hell am I being chased? I didn’t steal anything! Wait... The question I should be asking is why am I in Equestria? All I remember was me logging into RDN and then poof! I am in a jewelry store and now I am running from the local police.’ One of the bystanders must have noticed the pony in the alley and informed the police because officers from both sides of the alley surrounded him. The pony noticed a ladder nearby and jumped to reach it, but one of the officers tackled him mid-air and slammed him to the ground. The rest of the squad fell upon them, completely pinning him. ‘Ugh... This could not get any worse.’ ***************************************************************************************** Commodore Crazy was finally able to get to the border of the city. He tried to ignore the fact that there were more ponies than he could count. Big Mac was slowing down, but not by much. Crazy decided to run as fast he could and hide in one of the shops. Until he ran into the local police. “Wait, there's another one!” yelled one officer. “Another? Let’s get him!” said another. The officers began to give chase. ‘First Big Mac now the police. I haven’t been here for 30 minutes and I am already being chased by the police. Wait did they say “another one”?’ Before he could finish his thought a third officer tackled him from the side, hard. ‘Ow....’ His last thought before everything faded to black. EVERFREE FOREST Even though the Everfree Forest isn’t controlled by magic, it is still lovely place to be in. Yes, at night, it isn’t very warm and welcoming to be in, but during the day, it was nice enough, you could lay down and just soak up the sun. Except one pony in particular just wanted to get out. The white unicorn walked the semi-paved path of the forest. ‘Ugh, why did I get transported to here, of all places?’ they asked to themselves. The pony was disoriented after falling into the forest, ‘I mean, come on! Everfree! Please tell me I am near Ponyville.’ The pony continued down the path and noticed the village nearby. ‘Well, that was convenient.’ PONYVILLE It was indeed a calm day in Ponyville. The town was prepping for a visit from Princess Luna again, but this time with a better reception than the one from Nightmare Night. This will be the second visit the princess will have made to the town. Fluttershy was in her cottage, along with Spike. She was rehearsing with the birds for the song that will be singing when the princess arrives. Spike, on the other hand was cleaning up the cottage since it was to be where the princess would spend the night. Spike was in the middle of setting up the room that Luna would be spending the night in when he met his unexpected visitor. Spike was fixing the bed until he turned his head and faced the unfamiliar pegasus. His eyes went wide the moment he saw it. “Fluttershy, what happened to your hair? And your mane and tail? Where did you get that bow?”, he asked the pegasus. “Fluttershy” gave a low squeak as an answer. Then “she” fainted. “Fluttershy? FLUTTERSHY?!” yelled Spike. “What is it Spike?”, asked Fluttershy, who paused her rehearsal and came to Spike’s aid. She looked at him with a concerned look until she saw the pegasus on the ground in front of her. “Who is that, Spike?” she asked. “I don’t know. Do you have any long-lost twin sisters running around?” EARTH ‘Ohhhhhhhh, crap. This is going to be the biggest screw up I ever done’ thought the man. A new post came up on the computer screen. “Hey, where did everypony go?” the post said. ‘I wish I could tell you.’ Introductions II: Metting The CrowdRAINBOW DASH NETWORK IN EQUESTRIA BY DOATES CHAPTER TWO ***** FILLYDELPHIA The two ponies were placed into a cell in the station. waiting for the questioning. Commodore Crazy was arrested for trespassing and for allegedly assisting the grey pony in the break-in of the jewelry store. The grey pony was accused of breaking-in the jewelry store and attempting to steal its contents. The cell had other inhabitants, some bony, some big-build. Some you could tell were there for a while from their facial expressions. The silver pony went immediately to a far corner that wasn’t occupied and sat there. He was sweating and eyes were scanning the room back and forth, hoping that none of the other “prisoners” would come near him. When Commodore came in, he was nervous, like the silver one, but not as nervous. Crazy decided to sit a couple feet away from the entrance so he could get out of the cell as quickly as possible. He thought of waiting for the next person to be thrown into the cell and making a break for it, but he was in a police station and he had more chances in breaking into Fort Knox. “Commodore Crazy. You’re up.” announced the officer. The officer was a unicorn mare with a handcuff cutie mark. Crazy grumbled and moved forward. ‘Thank goodness the wait didn’t last that long. Feel bad for the silver one, though.’ ***************************************************************************************** “Please state your name for the record.” said the unicorn, staring down at a notepad while she was writing down her questions and his future answers. “um, commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese” Commodor Crazy replied. The unicorn stopped writing, but continued to stare down at the notepad. “Commodore Crazy, for short.” “You were in the military?” the officer asked. “No.” “Then why are you called Commodore?” “I decided to call myself that.” “Then, what is your real name?” The officer was starting show hints of frustration towards just to figure out who the pony sitting across from her. “Just call me Crazy and can we move on please?” answered Commodore, annoyed as well for the conversation that was going on. “Sure. Now, why were you on the Apple Family grounds? And why did you run from Mr. Macintosh?” There was a long pause. ‘I have no idea why I was on the Apple Family grounds. In fact, I have no idea how I even wound up on Equestria.’ “Well?!” the mare asked. ‘Oh sweet Celestia, this colt over here is starting to become a pain in my-’ “I don’t know why I was in the Apple Family grounds.” the stallion answered, interrupting the officers thoughts. “So you just walked into private property for no reason at all?” “No. I don’t even know why I was there.” “Suuuuuuure... Fine, if you want to put it that way, then we will talk later” ***************************************************************************************** Commodore was brought back to the cell along with his frustrated officer. It wasn’t his fault that she got confused about his name. Heck, he even gave her the short version of it and she still made an issue about it. No wonder the conversation ended early. He was inadvertently annoying and frustrating her to her breaking point. ‘Eh could be worse.’ Commodore thought. The pony walked into the cell and went and sat where he was before the officer took him for questioning. The silver pony that came with him was still there, and in the same position, but was more nervous and stressed than before. The officer pointed at him and ordered “ You. The grey one. Come with me”. The grey pony was infact a pegasus and he looked down as he walked out the cell. ***************************************************************************************** The grey pegasus walked into the stone room and sat down, not saying a word. The officer walked in and sat opposite from him. “Okay, for starters, since we haven’t seen you before, what is your name?” asked the officer. “Silver Brony.” the pegasus answered with a low tone. “Glad to get that out of the way.” mumbled the officer. “So, would you care to explain how you got into the jewelry store without opening any doors and windows? Also, would you also please explain what you were planning on stealing?” Silver Brony took a deep breath before he answered. “All I remember is that I was in my room and then all the sudden I was in the jewelry store you are talking about. I was never planning to steal anything.” “And can anypony confirm that you were in your room before you were caught within the jewelry store in question?” “Yes. My friends were in the other room.” “And, where do you live?” The pegasus stopped talking when the question came up. The officer sat there staring at the pegasus, waiting for the answer. A minute and a half went by when the silence was broken. “I said, where do you live?” the officer repeated. Silver Brony began stare at anything but her. ‘oh, Celestia, not this again.’ “Fine, if you want to pull the whole silent treatment, then okay, enjoy your stay.” the officer opened the door and the pegasus walked out, returning to the cell. ***************************************************************************************** Silver brony returned to his spot in the cell. The officer came into the cell with him and looked at both Commodore Crazy and Silver Brony. “You two have to be the hardest cases I ever met. Better rethink how you are going to speak and behave, because it’s only a matter of time before you are going to out of our hands. “Mister Brony, you will be awaiting a representative of the Royal Guard to pick you up. Breaking in a jewelry store is yes, a federal crime, but the one you were in and the area you were in, makes it worse for you. “And you-” “Wait, your name is Brony?” Crazy interrupted. “Yeah, why?” asked Silver Brony. “Hm, oh, nothing.” ‘Oooookay’ though the officer. “Anyway, Commodore Crazy, if that is your real na-” “YOUR NAME IS COMMODORE CRAZY?!” yelled Silver Brony. Commodore gave a shocked look in return of the question given to him. “Ye-Yes.” he answered. “I’m Silver Brony.” Silver introduced himself. Crazy’s eyes turned from nervous to awe. “Silver. Brony.” “Yeah.” “Okay, okay, okay. Woah. Do you two know each other?” asked the officer, still trying to comprehend what is going on infront of her eyes. “Pretty much.” answered Crazy. “We go on the same website.” Silver Brony continued. “Wait, website? What is a ‘website’?” asked the officer. “Excuse me, what is your name?” asked Brony. “Ah, Officer Alipoe.” she answered. “Officer Alipoe, how on Earth can’t you know about a website?” “Possibly, I just don’t know about it. I am not exactly an “In-The-know” kind of pony. So what ‘website’ do you go on?” “RDN” both answered. “RDN?” Alipoe asked. “Rainbow Dash Network.” “There is a ‘website’ based on the mare that won the Best Fliers Competition?” “Sort of, yeah.” Commodore answered. “Hey, Alipoe, there is someone here to speak to your new guests.” yelled a nearby officer. “Whoooohomystars!” “Good afternoon, officer. Could I, by any chance, borrow your new friends for a while. You see, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are asking for an audience with them.” The entire cell was quietly staring at the new guest. Commodore Crazy and Silver Brony were the verge of fainting. “Oh, there you are. Sorry for the rudeness, let me introduce myself. My name is Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard. And you are?” Two hours and a half earlier.... CANTERLOT Celestia and Twilight stared at the grey dragon in front of them and the dragon did the same to them. The dragon, from its size, was possibly in its teens. ‘It’s the same size as Spike’s first growth spurt, before he got bigger and eventually a fifty foot tall dragon’ Twilight observed. The stare possibly lasted for a few minutes before the dragon noticed the fly-swatter floating and then stared at Celestia and then Twilight. His eyes went wider than before. ‘Of all the alternate versions of MLP, I just had to wind up in of the more disturbing.’ the dragon thought. He began to look around his surroundings looking for something and saw a stool within arms reach and looked out the window. ‘Hope this doesn’t hurt that much...’ “Dragon, please identify you-” Princess Celestia began, but was interrupted by the scene that was transpiring in front of her. The dragon grabbed the stool and threw it at the window, which shattered. It then ran towards the opening and grabbed the curtains and used them a makeshift rope as he jumped out the window. Unfortunately, for the dragon, the curtain snapped and he fell down to ground, with no way to brake. He desperately reached for a pole that was coming near him and held on for dear life. After a quick second, he let go and continued his plummet. He landed on a patio and then jumped down to the ground from a safe distance. ‘Well that could have been worse.’ the dragon thought. He grinned and stared up at the window he jumped out of. It was a good 30 feet up. ‘Much worse.’ He was about to jog his way out, until midway through his sprint he noticed the two, grey coated pegasi, in royal guard armor facing him. ‘Well, at least I didn’t end up in a Molestia fic. Or at least, I don’t think I did...’ ***************************************************************************************** Celestia and Twilight stood still and stared at the shattered window before them. Twilight slowly walked towards the window and looked out. She saw the dragon running from the royal guards, whom were chasing after it. “Twilight, what just happened?” the princess asked, who was just trying to put together what just transpired. “I think a teenage dragon got inside the castle, came in here, saw us and tried to make a break for it.” answered the student. “I’ll send a message to the royal guard for them to capture, but not hurt the dragon. Poor thing must be scared out of it’s mind.” ***************************************************************************************** ‘Dear Luna, how many guards are there in this place?!’ The number of guards chasing him skyrocketed after a few minutes while he was being chased by the two guards he landed next to. ‘Guess Celestia sent out an order about me. Just lovely.’ The dragon decided to run towards an alley to avoid more guards. ‘Have to figure out how to get out of this place. I could try the sewer system, but guards might be already be down there. Uuugh. Why is this happening to me, of all people?’ “There he is!” yelled one guard. “Surround and corner him!” yelled another. ‘Well this is just great.’ thought the dragon. Two guards on both sides blocked the ways out of the alley. ‘Why couldn’t I have wings?!’ The guards began to move forward, trying to box in the dragon. Then a miracle, you might say, occured. Though you’d think it would be painful, the dragon only felt a tingle on his back. When he turned his head, he was wings growing out of his back. Both him and the guards were staring in awe what was transpiring. The dragon also noticed that his hands and feet were transforming into hooves. As in horse hooves. ‘What. The. Heck. Is. Happening?’ the dragon thought. ‘I’m becoming a dragon pony hybrid!’ The hybrid fell forward so he could maintain balance. He began to flap his wings testing them out and to get a feel for them. ‘This is both weird and cool at the same time. Might as well test these things.’ he thought. The guards came out of their trance and galloped in to prevent him from flying away, when he did just that. At first, he wobbled mid-air trying to maintain balance and keep his axis straight. He eventually leveled and managed to start flying straight. Pegasus guards gave chase, but the hybrid was too far ahead. “So, long suckers!” yelled the hybrid. Little did he know, he was flying right into a pink-colored transparent wall. Just before he flew into it, he turned his head and faced the wall. “Now that’s just plain not fair.” he said before he hit the wall, losing consciousness. ***************************************************************************************** “HE DID WHAT!?!?” Princess Celestia yelled. “Sister, please watch your tone.” Her sister, Princess Luna, requested. “I’m sorry, Luna.” apologized Celestia. She turned back to the guard, “Why did he think it would be wise to use a protection spell on the poor thing? He could have died!” The guard tried to remain professional in terms of stance, but his eyes were those of fright. “He said that you ordered for the dragon, erm, hybrid to be captured. Since it-” “Wait. Hybrid?” Luna asked, cocking an eyebrow. “Yes, your highness. When some of the guards cornered it in an alley, it grew wings and its limbs became hooves.” Luna turned her head facing Celestia, whom was still looking at the guard with a stern look. “Have you at least tried to find the creature?” Celestia asked. “Yes, your highness. Though it was speaking in rambles while it was unconscious.” “What ramblings?” “Something about RDN, a room and teleportation.” “Thank you, that will be all. You can go outside now” “Yes, your highness.” The guard left the throne room and went outside to his assigned position for the day. “Luna, I wish for you assign Shining Armor to watch over the ‘hybrid’. I will return to the library to learn what this ‘RDN’ is.” Celestia stated. “Yes, my sister.” ***************************************************************************************** “ugh” the hybrid moaned, having finally woken up from the hit to the head. His head was throbbing with pain. He began to notice that he was laying in a bed, tucked in no less. He also observed his room. It looked standard, a window to the his left, the exit was to his far right and the bathroom was in front of him to the left. That’s when he noticed his guest. it was a white coated unicorn with purple armor and a golden lining. His mane and tail was a dark blue with a sky blue stripe going down the middle. That and the armor gave away the identity of the unicorn. ‘SHINING ARMOR! I AM IN THE SAME ROOM WITH SHINING ARMOR!’ the dragon thought in his head. “Oh, good you’re awake. My name is-” Shining Armor began. “Shining Armor.” the dragon interrupted. “Pardon?” “Shining Armor, captain of the royal guard.” the dragon continued. “So you know my name, but what is yours? And what is ‘RDN’?” ‘If he is asking about RDN, might as well use my username’ the dragon contemplated. “My name is Grey Dragon.” “Kind of obvious.” Shining Armor remarked. “Well, the full name is greydragon412, but I thought it would be better with just Grey Dragon.” “Sounds logical” “Quite.” “Well, moving on, what is this ‘RDN’?” Shining Armor asked again. “You’re sure you want to know?” asked Grey. “Yes, so tell me.” ordered Armor. “RDN stands for Rainbow Dash Network. It is a micro-blogging site for the brony community so they can socialize and interact with other bronies around the world.” Grey deadpanned. “What is a micro-blogging site?” “A smaller version of a social network. RDN is based on the more popular Twitter.” “Okay. What is a brony?” Grey Dragon paused for a second, trying to figure out how to answer this question. He breathed deeply and continued. “A brony is a fan of the ‘My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic’ television show.” “I hardly doubt that is all. What is this ‘My Little Pony’?” “I’m afraid that I can’t answer that.” Dragon answered. “And why not?” Armor persisted. “Because that is not important. I think trying to figure out how I got here is more important.” Dragon said. “You’re a spunky one, aren’t you.” “And some say that I am nuts.” Dragon retorted. “I wonder why?” Armor mumbled. ‘Though I may be calm, I am possibly literally soiling myself.’ Grey thought to himself. ***************************************************************************************** “Sister?” Luna asked as she came into the library. “Yes, Luna? Has the ‘hybrid’ awakened?” asked Celestia. “Yes and Shining Armor is questioning it.” Luna answered. “So it can talk. Interesting...” Celestia said. She began to try to piece together the whole transformation of the dragon. The fact it could talk, which didn’t surprise her, but the fact it transformed still dumbfounded her. “But there is something else?” Luna continued. “What?” “At the same time when you saw the ‘dragon-hybrid’, a grey pegasus was found within a jewelry store.” “So, leave that with the federal investigators.” “The odd thing is, the pegasus insists that it never broke in, but it just appeared in the store.” Luna continued. “Is there a possibility that they might be lying.” Celestia responded. “At first yes, but there is more. Just a mile and half away, an Earth pony appeared in the Apple Family grounds. They had the same story as the pegasus.” “And this happened-” Celestia began “At the same time the dragon was found.” Luna finished. “Sister, I have heard of coincidences before, but this looks more like a pattern.” “I agree. I want this to be contained. We have no idea what is going on right now, and don’t know what kind of things are going to happen. Where did all this happen?” “Fillydelphia.” Luna answered. “Send Shining Armor there. Only us three can know about this.” Celestia ordered. Before Luna could leave, a scroll appeared before them. “Who is it from?” Luna asked. “Spike.” Celestia answered as she read the letter. “Well, there are more ‘appearances’ occurring around the country. Luna, once you are done sending Shining Armor, I wish for you to go to Ponyville, specifically Fluttershy’s cottage.” “What in Mother’s name is going on?” Luna asked. “I have no idea, sister.” Celestia answered. PONYVILLE (SUGARCUBE CORNER) The green maned unicorn was standing in front of Sugarcube Corner. ‘If I am going to get out of here, I might as well get meeting Pinkie Pie over with.’ The unicorn walked in and saw the pony he was looking for. “Hey, My name is Mi-” the unicorn started, as he walked to Pinkie Pie, but didn’t finish. The moment she saw the him, Pinkie jumped up, gasped and zipped out the door. “You must be new here. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done that.” remarked Mr. Cake. “Yeah, I am new here. Anyway, how long do I have to wait before I could talk to her?” the unicorn asked. “You might have to wait until the end of the day. It usually takes her a bit to arrange the party and get everypony invited.” Mr. Cake answered. “So what is your name?” “Minti.” “Interesting name.” “I’m an interesting pony.” PONYVILLE (FUTTERSHY’S COTTAGE) “Alright, the letter has been sent. Now what?” Spike asked. “I don’t know. I mean, I never met anypony that looked so much like me.” Fluttershy answered. “Well, hopefully the princess could help sort this all out.” A loud noise came from the front of the cottage, scaring the living daylights out of Fluttershy. Of course it was Pinkie Pie. “Fluttershy,anewponyarrivedatthesugarcubecornerandIwaslike‘gasp’andranofftogetaparttogetherandstuff-”Pinkie Pie rambled. She turned her head and saw the Fluttershy look-alike. Her eyes widen with glee. “TWO NEW PONIES!THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST PARTY EVER!” yelled Pinkie Pie. Before the pink pony could finish, Spike slapped his hand on her mouth. “Pinkie, please? You scared Fluttershy half to death.” informed Spike. Fluttershy, meanwhile was curled up in a ball quivering. “Oh.” Pinkie Pie realized. “I’m sorry Fluttershy. You know that I get excited when I meet new ponies. Do you want me to leave?” “No, no. Please, it wasn’t your fault. You just startled me, that’s all. Have you seen Twilight lately?” Fluttershy asked. “Nope. I heard she was going to Canterlot to spend time in some seminar or something like that.” Pinkie answered. While the two mares were conversing, the visitor finally regained consciousness. Spike was the first one to notice. “Woah, you okay there?” He asked. The pegasus possibly either didn’t hear him, or they were more focused getting up. Pinkie Pie soon helped them get up. “So if you don’t mind me asking, who are you?” she asked. ***************************************************************************************** After a bit of asking the public, Minti learned that Pinkie Pie rushed towards Fluttershy’s cottage. ‘Knowing Fluttershy, I think i should take it easy with the new.’ he thought. He was coming up the hill in front of the mini-bridge over the creek that led to the cottage, when something landed right next to him. “If you have any appointment with Ms. Fluttershy, I suggest that you reschedule for a later date.” the figure said. It was a voice of a female, but slightly formal. Minti turned to face the figure and looked face to face with Princess Luna. ‘Well that skips the whole scheduling to meet with the Princesses.’ he remarked, who was still staring at Luna. “Could we help you?” she asked. “PRINCESS LUNA!” The loud child-like voice started both Minti and Luna out of their stare. They both turned to face the bouncing pink pony coming their way. “I didn’t know you were coming! First two new ponies come and the-” “Ms. Pie-”Luna began. “Call me Pinkie” the earth pony interrupted. There was a long pause. “Pinkie, Did you saw two new ponies?” Luna asked. “Yeah-huh!” “And where are they, if you don’t mind me asking.” “Coarse I don’t mind. One is right next to you, and another is in the cottage!” Pinkie explained. Immediately after her answer, Princess Luna turned and faced the unicorn next to her. ‘Well this is awkward.’ he thought. ***************************************************************************************** “So, um,...What was your name again?” asked Fluttershy. “Derpyshy.” replied the look-alike. “And you are from?” the yellow pegasus asked. “Earth.” the green pegasus replied. “Is that near here?” “Don’t think so.” “How did you get into my cottage?” “I have no idea. Possibly Cerulean’s fault.” “Who?” “Nothing.” “You look like me, but you sound like a stallion.” Fluttershy remarked. “Yeah. We might want to talk about that later.” Derpyshy replied. “Fluttershy, Princess Luna is here. Pinkie Pie went out to meet her”, Spike informed from another room. He was in the kitchen, while the two were in the living room of the cottage. The two looked out the window and saw the night princess conversing with Pinkie Pie, but a white unicorn was with them. It took Derpyshy a bit to figure out who it was. “Hold on, I’ll be right back.” he said. “Wait, where are you going?” Fluttershy asked. Derpyshy didn’t answer as they were already out the door. “This isn’t going to end well.” ***************************************************************************************** “What is your name, unicorn.” the princess asked. “Minti Breeze” Minti answered. “How long have you been here?” “Um, a couple minutes.” “Do you know what an ‘RDN’ is?” Luna asked. ‘Might as well be honest... “Yep,” Breeze answered. “Do you?” Luna asked again. “Yeah. Why do you ask?” “Do you know a person related to RDN that goes by the name Grey Dragon?” she asked. “HE’S HERE TOO!” Minti yelled. Before Luna could respond to Minti’s response, a green pegasus that looks a lot like Fluttershy galloped up next to Pinkie Pie, who was just watching the show. “Pardon me, but is your name by any chance be Josh?” he asked Minti gave an annoyed look at Derpyshy. “Why do people say that?! Just call me Minti!” “Yep, you’re Minti. So how did you get here?” Derpyshy asked. “Wait, you’re Derpyshy?” Minti asked. “Yeah.” “Now this is just weird.” Luna had nothing to say. She staring in shock while the two were interacting. ‘How many of them are there? At first it was just two, now it looks like there might be more of them. And where are they coming from? I hope we figure out what this RDN is, and soon.’ Pinkie Pie on the other hand was thinking the exact opposite. She was in glee that there will be more new ponies to greet. She couldn’t wait to welcome this Grey Dragon, whoever he is. CLOUDSDALE “So what do we do?” asked Spitfire. The four Wonderbolts that were in the spa looked down at the the wet pegasus that fainted right before their eyes. “I think the question is how the hay did he get in here?” Fleetfloot remarked. The others agreed. They were relaxing and the next thing they knew, a peachish pegasus falls from the ceiling and startles Spitfire from her relaxation within the pool. “I’ll go talk to the employees, to see they recognize them.” Soarin’ stated before going out the door. “Hey, I think the klutz is waking up.” informed Blaze. The pegasus slowly woke up, still drowsy from the dive in the water, he slowly got up, legs wobbling. ‘Woah what happened?’ he thought. They eventually returned to reality, well, the reality that he had fallen into and noticed the Wonderbolts huddling around them. “Woah dude, don’t faint on us again, please?” Spitfire requested. The male pegasus took some deep breaths trying to stay calm and preventing himself from fainting again, cause if he did, he would fall into the water again. ‘I’m in Equestria. Fantastic. The first ponies I meet are The Wonderbolts. Have to say, that’s a first in my book.’ the pegasus remarked as he analyzed their surroundings and the other pegasi. “So what is your name?” asked Blaze. ‘Maybe I should tell them my Earth name. Nah, that will be bland. OH! How about my OC name! Um.. Eagle Hooves.” he responded. “Great. Now, how did you get in here?” Fleetfoot asked. “To be perfectly honest, you wouldn’t believe me.” “Try us.” “Okay. I am from an alternate reality where my world is called Earth.” The three Wonderbolts stared at Eagle Hooves in disbelief. “Yep, you’re still drowsy from your little dive.” Spitfire remarked. After that the doors opened up, with Soarin’ and some of the employees of the spa. They were in mid-discussion when the employees saw what Soarin’ was talking about. ‘Oh, man. I land in Equestria and meet the Wonderbolts and now I think I might be in trouble.’ the pegasus thought to himself. “Excuse, me sir?” asked one if the employees. “Could you please tell us how you got in here?” “I honestly don’t know how. All I remember is that I was on my computer and, poof!. Here I am here right now.” Eagle Hooves answered. “What is a computer?” asked the other employee. “It’s something that we, humans use to create documents, presentations and interact with one another.” “Human?” Spitfire asked. “What’s a human?” “A bipedal organism.” “Pretty much a diamond dog.” translated Blaze. “Exactly.” Hooves replied. “Wait, you know what a diamond dog is?” Soarin’ asked. The employees stood there confused on whether to walk away or stay where they are. “Yeah.” Eagle replied ‘Have to tread lightly on this next bit.’ “If you are from an ‘alternate reality’, then how do you know about diamond dogs?” asked Fleefloot. ‘Busted’. ‘Here we go...In my reality, you are all characters in a television show. Just pictures that play that everyone across the globe is watching, but dubbed in the provinces language or tongue.” The Wonderbolts called it a quits when it came to questioning the pegasus. “If you are from an alternate reality, then I believe that the only logical decision is to get you back there.” Soarin’ stated. “And the only pony that could be able to do that is possibly Princess Celestia.” ‘I get to meet Celestia. Hopefully the version that isn’t a tyrant nor a molesting maniac.’ HOOFINGTON “Everypony understand the plan?” asked the pegasus. The others nodded their heads. “Alright. In four days time, the train would leave the station at 12:19 pm. I expect all of you to be at your appropriate stations and don’t be late.” The others once again nodded their heads. Behind the pegasus sat an unicron bound and gagged to a chair. The pony was trying to break free from his restraints. “Mr. Conventrix, please cease trying to break free. You should be proud in fact. You are about to make history.” smirked the pegasus. Introductions III: Canterlot Meet-UpRainbow Dash Network In Equestria Doates The noble was quietly sitting in his carriage having no care for the world outside. And why should he? Nopony would try to get past the royal guards pulling his carriage and try to steal the package he was transporting. All that needs to be done is to get the package to Manehatten and give it to the next pony for the following leg. Orders were specifically given not to open the package. ‘Kind of blandish order, if you ask me’ thought the noble when he was given the order. ‘Already an easy task to begin with. Like i care for what’s in the package.’ He was in the carriage for about a hour and a half. Most of which he spent either in his thoughts or resting. He occasionally tried to talk to the royal guards, but as predicted they stayed silent. ‘Wonder what their lives are like outside of their jobs.’ the noble thought to himself. In the middle of the thought a sudden jerk behind the carriage pushed the noble forward into the wall in front of him. He opened the window that allowed him to talk to the guards pulling the carriage. “WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?” He yelled. Before they could answer, two ropes suddenly hooked on both sides of the the front of the carriage and before the noble knew it, he was airborne, rising up from the ground. The carriage swayed as is it rose in the air. Eventually the ropes on the front released and the noble smacked into the window so hard, he went through it. Holding on for dear life to the handles outside, the noble slowly pulled himself back into the carriage. When he did, he noticed a dark grey pegasus with a sky blue mohawk holding the package that the noble sworn to protect. But the pegasus wasn’t alone. A black cloaked figure stood the the right of the noble. The figure was on four legs, but had the build and size of a diamond dog. “We’ll be taking this from you.” announced the figure. “What are you?” the noble asked. “Reckoning.” the figure answered. And just like that the grey pegasus exited the way he came and the figure followed. The noble stood there in awe of what just transpired in front of him. Eventually he lost sense of gravity, as if he was light as a feather. The noble looked out the shattered window and saw the ground closing in fast.... (Click for theme) CHAPTER THREE CANTERLOT The castle was emptied for two reasons. One was the cover-up reason. To the cooks, maids, butlers, guards, the reason for the castle to vacated was that the royal sisters believed that they deserve time off for a bit, as thanks for their hard work. The second, in fact the real reason, is that Shining Armor and the princesses were planning on meeting the rest of the RDN ponies (or RDNonies) and figure out how they came into their world. Grey Dragon was able to get out his bed and began to wonder around the castle. Without anyone, or anypony (whatever floats your boat) knowing about it, no less. ‘Man, I know castles are huge, but this one is enormous.’ the part dragon-part pony observed. He stood in the middle of one of the corridors that led to only a few of the countless rooms and passages within the castle. “Don’t want to wander too far, otherwise, I would get lost in this place.” Dragon thought to himself. “Great another dead end. Guess I am running out of places to explore.” Before he could go on, he noticed a yellowish pegasus holding a brown unicorn walk out of one of the rooms in front of him. With the two, was an orange pony with a cowboy hat. “There! We’re finally here. Now, if you excuse me, I have a town to return to to.” said the cowboy-hat pony. It was clear that the trip here wasn’t pleasant at all. The two other ponies looked around the area they were standing, in awe of the beauty of the castle. “Ah, you’re here.” a voice behind Grey Dragon said. He turned his head and saw Shining Armor, the origin of the voice. “I’m guessing you got tired of the room you were in.” Shining Armor continued. “Anyway, we found more ponies like you.” “What, half pony, half dragon?” Grey Dragon asked. “Nonononono. We found more ponies that are from this ‘alternate reality’ you speak of. Not to mention they know what this ‘RDN’ is.” “WAIT! There others?!” yelled the yellowish pegasus. Both Grey Dragon and Shining Armor turned to face the two other ponies in the room. “Don’t think it is wise to yell.” mentioned the brown unicorn. “That’s the reason why you placed Braeburn in a sour mood.” “You expect someone who just been teleported to an alternate reality that is in the form of a popular show to act calm?” the pegasus retorted. “Seriously, Elo?” “Wait, you’re Elo?” asked Grey towards the unicorn. “Yes.” the unicorn answered. “I’m greydragon412.” “You got teleported here too?” the pegasus asked. “Yeah. And you are?” “Axel Gunn.” ‘Great. There’s more of them.’ Shining Armor thought to himself. “Well, since you two are part of this ‘RDN’, might as well come with me. And you too Grey Dragon.” “You met Shining Armor?” Gunn mouthed to Grey Dragon. “Yeah.” Grey Dragon mouthed back. The three newcomers came to a large door, which Shining Armor opened with his magic and inside was a large round table and two other ponies inside. One was a medium build, green coated earth pony, who was staring and awe of the detail and beauty of his surroundings. The other was doing the same, who was grey pegasus. “We are in Canterlot Castle.” the pegasus mumbled to himself. “No one at home are going beleive this.” “You can get yourselves introduced. I am going to inform the princesses that you have arrived. And let them know that there are five RDN ponie now.” Shining Armor then left the room, closing the door. The earth pony and the pegasus were oblivious to the others in the room, until Axel interrupted them. “So, what is your name?” he asked. “Silver Brony.” the pegasus answered. “Commodore Crazy.” the earth pony replied. “Lets compare stories. There must be some connectiont aht caused all of us to be teleported here into Equestria.” Elo stated. “Before we do that, I need to put this out. I have told Shining Armor what RDN stands for, what it is and what it is based on. That’s where it gets touchy. They know that it is based on My Little Pony, but I haven’t told them what it is. I also accidentally stated Shining Armors name before he introduced himself. Now that I am thinking about it, Shining Armor might put two and two together and some ego’s might burst.” “Why would we burst ego’s? So what. Granted, Twilight might go psycho about it, but that is the worst case scenario.” Elo said. “Plus, we aren’t going to go off and yell the top of our lungs ‘We are from a parallel universe!’. That’ll be stupid.” “Let’s just state that the public did learn that we are from an alternate reality, I am sure the scientific thinkers in this world are familiar to the concept of the multiverse.” Silver Brony stated. “So pretty much, we are essentially the first people, from our universe, to discover that traveling to other universes is possible and the fact that the multiverse exists.” Grey Dragon said. “Wait a minute. The universe is big. Really, really big. Could it be possible that we are in our own universe, just that we are in another part of it?” Commodore Crazy asked. After this question was asked, there was a long pause. “Let’s save this conversation for later. So how did we get here?” Axel Gunn asked. “I was on RDN when I got here.” “Same here.” Grey Dragon said. “Me three.” Silver Brony continued. “So we were all on RDN before we got here?” asked Elo. The group nodded. “So, where were you teleported?” asked Grey Dragon. “I was transported, here, in Canterlot.” “Fillydelphia.” Silver Brony and Commodore Crazy said in unison. “Appleoosa.” Axel Gunn answered. “Hoofington.” Elo continued. “Did any of you meet any main and/or side characters when you got here?” asked Axel Gunn. “I met Celestia, Twilight, and Shining Armor.” answered Grey Dragon. the others stared at him, with jealousy in their eyes. “And to get this out of the way, no. This version of Celestia isn’t a troll nor a tyrant.” The others continued to stare at him. “She isn’t Molestia, okay. We’re safe.” “Anyway, me and Axel Gunn met Braeburn. We, sadly, caught him in an off day.” Elo said. “What happened?” asked Commodore Crazy. “Three banks were robbed clean out and then blown up. By the same group in one week.” Axel Gunn answered. “I saw one of the banks and it was like it wasn’t there.” “Damn. Was everyone okay?” asked Silver Brony. “I decided not to pry. He decided to drop me off at Canterlot, since I am from an alternate reality, he thought it would be wise to notify the princesses. That’s when we met Elo.” Axel Gunn continued. “I didn’t have the smarts of not constantly asking Braeburn questions about anything that is Equestria.” Elo said. ***************************************************************************************** “Will his family be notified?” “Yes sir.” Shining Armor rubbed off the sweat on his forehead. Immediately after leaving the RDN ponies, we gets bombarded with the news of a nobles carriage falling from the sky. The noble didn’t survive the fall. Further investigation revealed that he was transporting an important item, whihc wasn’t found in the wreckage. “Go. Find his family.” he ordered. The guard saluted and left. ‘First the robbery and bombings in in Appleoosa, then these RDN ponies show up and now a convoy was just attacked taking the life of a well liked noble.’ the captain sighed. ‘Where are the princesses?” ***************************************************************************************** “THIS IS AWESOME!” yelled Minti, as the wind goes against his face. “Awesome?! This is freakin’ terrifying.” yelled back Derpyshy. The two ponies were riding a make-shift carriage as the moon princess pulls it, moving at their fastest speed. Minti was having a blast, but Derpyshy on the other hand, was holding on for dear life. Luna rolled her eyes as the two newcomers act like fillies. ‘With the dragon-hybrid in Canterlot, the two in Fillydelphia and now two from ponyville, hopefully this will be all the RDN ponies that are here.’ the princess thought to herself. Luna looked back towards the to two behind her. She slightly smirked as Minti tried to get Derpyshy up. The three arrived in the royal garden. She landed gracefully, but the carriage didn’t. “ow.” said one of the two. The guards stayed in their positions, still with stern looks on their faces. “Please help them up.” Luna ordered. The guards nodded and jogged over to the two and assisted them getting up. Minti and and Derpyshy stumbled, but maintained balance as they got up. ‘:sigh:, May mother help them when they meet Cadance.’ Luna thought, while she was making a small smile. “Please follow me. There is somewhere that you need to be right now.” she said and walked into the castle. She heard the duo follow her, so she didn’t need to look back. She moved slightly slower than her normal walking speed, in order to keep the RDN ponies on the right track and not get lost. They finally reached the room where the RDN ponies will be staying until Luna and her sister figure out what caused them to come into our world. She opened the door and saw something she didn’t expect. She would have thought, since all the ponies appearing are part of this RDN and the fact they might not know that there are other in a similar situation, they would be conversing trying figure out each others story. Instead, they were under piles of books, but not ruining them. Reading them. They were also taking notes, until one noticed her. “Hey, it’s Princess Luna!” yelled out a green earth pony. Immediately after that, a book was thrown at them. “Lower your voice, Captain Canterlock.” said the dragon-pony hybrid. “How many of you are there?” asked Luna, still in shock. “Well so far, five.” answered a grey pegasus. “Um, Princess Luna, could you please move.” a voice behind her asked. Luna got out of her daze and turned back to tthe two ponies behind her. “Oh. Sorry. Please make yourself comfortable, if you could.” “There’s more!” yelled the brown unicorn. “Quiet down.” said the yellow-ish pegasus. “Well, I’m Minti and this is Derpyshy.” Minti said, pointing at the Fluttershy look-a-like. “Elo.” the brown unicorn said. “Silver Brony.” the grey pegasus deadpanned, mainly focussing on the book in front of him. “Commodore Crazy” the green earth pony introduced. “Grey Dragon, but I decided to change it to Grey Scale.” the pony-dragon hybrid said. “Axel Gunn.” said the yellow-ish pegasus. “So there is seven of you now. I’ll go get my sister and we can begin this meeting.” Luna addressed before leaving. “So the gang’s all here.” Grey Scale said. The seven ponies looked at each other. “So what happened here?” asked Derpyshy. “Oh, we got bored, so we decided to read some of the books here. Also, it really sucks to be your right now.” Axel Gunn answered. “Yeah, planning on getting a hair cut so I don’t have too look like this. And from what it looks like, we were all transformed into our OC’s” “We already compared stories, and we came to the conclusion that all of us was on RDN before we were transported here.” Before any could finish two pegasi walked in covering up a peach coated Pegasus, trying to conceal him from the others. The two pegasi were wearing goggles and blue uniforms with lightning streaks going down. It took half a second to recognize them. “Now we’re meeting the Wonderbolts. Well, isn’t this dandy.” Exclaimed Silver Brony. “um, sorry. We didn’t know this room was occupied.” Said one of the Wonderbolts, which had a familiar female voice. “Your Spitfire, aren’t you? And the other is Soarin’, correct?” asked Minti. “Yeah. So?” Soarin’ asked with a cocked eyebrow. “Normally, I would geek out about this, but right now is A) not the time and B) I’m kind of getting used to meeting important ponies of this world.” “Wait, ‘this world’! Please don’t tell me you’re like this nut!” Spitfire said, pointing at the peach coated pegasus. The pegasus looked back at her. “You know, if you continue to call me that, I will not be hesitant to smack you, regardless of your celebrity status.” “Please tell me that you know of this ‘RDN’. He has been talking non-stop about, trying to convince me that is exists.” Spitfire asked the seven ponies. “Yeah, we know what RDN is. We go on it. So, what’s your name? Preferably just use your username.” Grey Scale deadpanned. “Eagle Hooves.” The pegasus answered. “So that makes eight. Eight users of RDN got transported here, in Equestria and were spread out throughout the country.” Minti annylaized. “By the way, since we are like, new here to the literal since, what is the date.” “March 13th.” Soarin’ answered. The entire group fell silent and looked at each other. “Is there going to be any special event or celebration coming up soon?” asked Elo. “Yeah. There’ve been rumors flying around that someone connected to the Equestrian royalty is getting married soon, why?” The group fell into a more, deeper silence, only too give each other worried looks. “Well this is just dandy.” Commodore Crazy said, breaking the silence. “Might as well use the local language here, but we’re bucked everypony.” Derpyshy stated. “Wait, why?” asked Spitfire. “Let’s just say, we know about future events that are about to happen in about a month.” Minti answered. Grey Scale turned to Minti. “Do you think we should tell the princesses?” “I say no. We can’t risk changing this worlds turn of events.” “We already did that by simply coming here. Granted we can’t do that much stuff, but events have already been altered.” The others began to show agreement with Scale. “Look, how about this. When the event comes, we intervene a the right time.” “What the hay are you ponies talking about?!” asked Spitfire. “Okay, we are from an alternate reality/universe/world and you are subjects of a television show. From what you told us, we are towards the end of the second season of that show. The season finale of that show is coming up in this world. We know full well what is going to transpire with that event occurs. We are only discussing on how we are going to react and handle the situation when it comes to pass.” Axel Gunn explained. “So when will this event happen?” asked Soarin’ “April 21st or April 22nd.” answered Eagle Hooves. “Okayyyyy, we know a bit too much, so incase you need us (which I hope you don’t), you can find us in Cloudsdale.” Spitfire said as she grabbed Soarin’ and bolted out of the room, possibly the city. The now eight ponies remained silent, staring at the now empty doorway. After a minute or so, Crazy and Axel went back reading books and Minti joined them. Grey Scale and Elo then agreed to grab some of the books already used and place them back into their respective shelves. The sun was setting and all the ponies stared at the beauty of it all. “Think about it. We are possibly the only ones from our world to see this happen. Incredible.” Derpyshy said, with the others agreeing in unanimously. After a long day filled with twists and turns, the long day has finally come to an end. The events that were experienced were very taxing to the eight ponies. The ponies continued to read and converse to one another, either talking about what they experienced while they were in Equestria or what happened before they were transported to Equestria. It was 7:27, at least two hours after the sunset and the moonrise, when the Two Sisters arrived. Along with them was Shining Armor. All three of them looked extremely tired and in desperate need of either sleep of caffeine. “Luna has told me about the sev---wait. Why is there eight here?” Celestia asked. “uh...Hi, I’m Eagle Hooves. I was transported into Cloudsdale and the Wonderbolts met me and they thought that if we go to the Royal Archives, we could figure out a way for me to get back to my world. We got lost and we found the others by accident.” “Speaking of which, how did meeting the Wonderbolts go?” asked Minti. “It went badly. I nearly drowned Spitfire and when I learned when I became pony, I fainted.” “Smooth.” Grey Scale commented. “I wouldn’t talk, if I were you.” Shining Armor said to Grey Scale with a smug look. “What did I do?!” “You jumped out of a window, in front of my sister and Princess Celesia. then You ran around the city, trying to avoid the guards that weren’t even trying to hurt you and then you fly straight into my protection spell.” “I could’ve died!” “Yeah, when you jumped out the window.” “Besides that, you nearly broke my face in when you placed up that spell.” “Your fault that you weren’t paying attention.” “Ladies, break it up.” Commodore Crazy interrupted. “So Grey Scale, you said that you said you met Twilight with Princess Celestia. What caused you to jump out the window?” “um...ah.....Celestia.....had a fly swatter...” The group looked at Celestia and back to Grey Scale. Minti face hoffed. “What’s wrong with having a fly swatter?” the sun princess asked. The group gave off even more weird looks and Crazy slammed his face into the table. “You really don’t want to know.” Silver Brony said. “No, I really do.” Silver Brony paused and took a deep breath..... ***************************************************************************************** Shining Armor’s eye was twitching after Silver Brony’s explanation. Luna’s mouth was agape and Celestia was at completely disturbed. Grey Scale looked at the floor avoiding the looks he was receiving. Silver Brony got a sympathetic pat on the back by Axel Gunn, after explaining the most embarrassing thing you could say to a princess. “Congrats to all of us. We just broke Celestia.” Minti said. Celestia turned and slowly walked out, still disturbed from the tale she was told. Shining Armor got out of his daze and looked back at Grey Scale, whom replied with an awkward smile. “I think this meeting should be postponed, for a later date. And I believe that we shouldn’t dwell too deep into what goes on in your world.” Shining Armor then left. Now only Luna was the only one left in the room. “I have arranged for you all to be living in the, now no longer abandoned, west wing of the castle. There are enough rooms to accommodate one of you each. Just please, don’t create too much of a mess.” And after that Luna left and three guards stepped in. “Please follow us. We will guide you to your rooms.” one of them said with a deep gruff voice. The RDN ponies looked at Grey Scale. “If we get back, you are so banned.” Eagle Hooves said. Mini-Chapter OneCanterlot Castle, the most prestigious castle in all of Equestria. Serving as a home to nobles of all kinds, the royal guard and to the Royal Sisters and their distant relatives, including Blueblood and Cadance. Though Bloodblood is a unicorn and Cadance is a unicorn pegasus, commonly referred as an alicorn, they are from the same parents. But that doesn’t excuse the bitter relationship they have at one another. Since they were little foals, they would bicker and insult one another. Once they reached adulthood they agreed to stay out of each other’s way so the castle could stay in one piece in case they have another tantrum. Unfortunately, they have to meet each other to plan out a certain event that is about to come up. They were staying in one the many courtyards of the castle going through paperwork and schedules to see if the event could be mapped out perfectly. “So. Shining Armor.” Blueblood said as he was writing notes on his copy of the schedule. “Yes. We’ve known each other for a long time and you know that.” His sister replied. “I’m surprised that you didn’t through a fit over it.” Blueblood cocked an eyebrow. “What makes you say that? I’m your brother, and yes we do have our fights every now and then, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t support you.” “mm-Hmm” “I also need to change my act and apologize to Ms. Rarity. I was..unkind to her.” “I’ve heard. Shining Armor chewed you out for that one. Which makes me beg to ask, why do you act such a pain and a snob? Please don’t tell me that the food you ate from the Apple family mare at the Gala was terrible?” “Sister, you know about the pressure I get from the other nobles. And about the tart I ate, it was delicious, but that doesn’t excuse the act I portrayed.” “I hope you aren’t just saying that just to shut me up.” Before Blueblood would reply, a possible start another fight, a loud crash was heard, but instead of investigating, the guards guarding the siblings simply rolled their eyes. “What was that?” asked Blueblood. “Shining Armor’s new assignment.” Answered one the guards, who was a pegasus. “What assignment is this?” “Keeping an eye on a group of newcomers and make sure they stay in the castle.” “Did they break any law?” Cadance asked, concerned. “No.” answered the other guard, who was a unicorn. “But, her highness, Princess Celestia, left a changed pony after she met the group. She’s currently staying in her quarters, asked not to be disturbed. Especially by the grey one of the group.” Another, but much louder crash was heard and the captain of the Royal Guard barged out of glass double doors that led into the courtyard that the four where in. Panting, “Have…you..seen them?” he asked, sweating like mad. “No sir. Are they trying to get out again?” the unicorn guard asked. “Yes. Get inside and look for them. They got hold of the fireworks and a carriage. I think you can put two and two together.” Shining Armor ordered. The two guards saluted and the unicorn guard went inside and the pegasus guard went up in the air. The royal siblings turned to Shining Armor. “What is going on?” asked Cadance. “To be honest, Judgment Day. These ponies are worse than you, Blueblood.” “Are they trying to take over the country?” asked Blueblood, in a theatrical angry voice. “No. They were told to stay indoors. They must have some kind of ADD, because they got bored and are now trying to get out.” A siren began to blare and in the distance a carriage, which looked like it was flames, was speeding across the air, with dozens of pegasus royal guards in pursuit. Shining Armor looked in horror. “Sweet Celestia, they succeeded.” “Who succeeded?” asked Cadance and Blueblood in unison. “RDN.” Then Horse Poo Hit The FanLater that day… “Well that was great.” Minti yelled in frustration. “Hey guys, you know what is a great way to break out of the castle? Transforming a carriage into a missile?!” “You’re the one that backed the idea?!” retorted Axe Gunn. “Most of us thought it was nuts, but it still worked.” “If you mean it worked as in we were in the air for a few minutes before crashed into the Everfree Forest, then yes it worked.” Derpyshy said. “Whose idea was it?” asked Eagle Hooves. “Eo’s.” answered Grey Scale. Interrupting the groups discussion, the doctors and nurses walked in. The RDN ponies were in the infirmary, in beds. What made it unique was that Shinning Armor ordered that they would be strapped to their beds so they won’t try to get out. This didn’t help at all. Majority of the injuries that the RDN ponies are suffering are mainly concussions and sprained limbs and broken ribs. The pain they experienced in the crash was minuscule to the pain they are feeling right now. The infirmary staff was forced to reconnect the ribs and they had to relocate Minti’s now, which broke when he landed face first when the carriage crashed. After all that the staff soon left. “It still worked, didn’t it?” asked Grey Scale with a sly smile. Minti rolled his eyes. “Yeah but at what price? We now have broken ribs. We now can’t walk right anymore.” answered Axel Gunn. “Where are the others?” asked Derpyshy. “Somewhere else. They didn’t get hurt remember. We acted as a cushion for them.” answered Minti. The door opened once again, this time it was Shining Armor. “I hope we’ve learned a valuable lesson today.” He said. “Now, do you promise note pull off another escape attempt?” The group nodded. “Good. Now whose idea was it to strap fireworks to a carriage? Most of you are pegasi what stopped you from flying?” “To answer the first question, it was Elo’s idea.” Answered Derpyshy. And why couldn’t you just fly out?” “Well, since you just mentioned that, we didn’t really think of that. Kind of obvious.” “Very obvious. But that’s not why I’m here. Some ponies are desperate are ordering me to meet all of you. The doctors gave you a clean bill of health so you may leave.” The captain and the ponies stayed in their place. “Well don’t get up all at once.” The captain said. “Kind of hard to do that when YOU ordered the doctors to strap us to the beds.” Grey Scale answered. “Me and you are going to have a rough time until we figure out to send you back, aren’t we?” “Possibly.” *********************************************************************************** All eight RDN grouped up at the throne room. They were all exhausted from another day of fun packed events. They all saw the gapping hole that they made in the window when they made their escape. “If this is Celestia, we’re doomed.” Commodore Crazy said. “What about Luna?” asked Silver Brony. “If it’s her, then we’re dead.” Before the ponies could decide on their fate the doors opened and two very familiar ponies and Shining Armor entered. “Is that—?“ Elo said in shock “No it can’t be.” Minti continued. “This is a fate worse than death!” exclaimed Derpyshy. “Screw not escaping! EVERPONY ABANDON SHIP!” yelled Eagle Hooves, whom immediately grabbed a nearby pot and threw it at a window and then jumped out. Minti, Elo, Commodore ran to the side, where they could get out of the room. Derpyshy and Grey Scale flew out the hole that Eagle Hooves made. Only Axel and Silber Brony remained. Axel Face palmed himself. Shining Armor shook is head while the two ponies only stood and their mouths were agape. “What is the reason now?” asked Shining Armor, possibly loosing the last shred of sanity he ahs left. “It’s because of the ponies you brought. Specifically the stallion.” Silver Brony answered pointing at the stallion of the two. “What is he talking about?” asked the stallion. “What makes different from my sister?” “Wait. Princess is your sister?!” exclaimed Axel Gunn. “Yes.” answered Prince Blueblood. “Well, it’s a long story and I suggest that you sit down.” “I’d rather stand.” “Suit yourself” *********************************************************************************** “What did I tell you about being a pain. I knew it would backfire.” Cadance said smugly. Blueblood grumbled in retaliation. Cadance turned to the remaining RDN ponies. “I’m guessing you’re the reason why my aunt is locking herself in her room?” “Yeah and we really need to apologize to her.” Answered Silver Brony. “What id you do” “STOP!” yelled Shining Armor, with a terrified look, began to leave. “If they are going to explain why, I’m leaving.” He soon closed the doors. Cadance turned to the two ponies “Why, what’s wrong?” “I think your husband-to-be is doing himself a favor.” Axel Gunn stated. “You know about the wedding?! Who told you?” asked Cadance. “Pardon me, but weren’t you not listening just a few seconds ago. We already know about the wedding because we already seen it.” “So you know what’s going to happen?” “Yeah.” “Dude, tread lightly.” whispered Silver Brony. “What?” Axel Gunn said, confused. Silver Brony grabbed Axel by the shoulder. “Excuse us.” “Dude, what is your deal?” asked Axel Gunn, only a bit loud than Silver Brony wanted. “Be quiet.” he whispered. “We have no idea if this is really Cadance. She might by Chrysalis.” Axel began to sweat. “Oh buck me.” “Yeah, exactly. So what do we do?” Axel Gunn turned his to face Cadance and became wide-eyed. “I think we have more pressing matters right now?” “What makes you say that?” Axel Gunn nudged his head to the princess. Silver Brony turned his head saw a familiar green flame engulf Cadance. Blueblood was unconscious, on the ground, with a blow to the head. A black figure, with both a pair of wings and a horn, was hovering above the princess. The two bolted, running towards the figure. Silver Brony flew up and punched the figure square in the jaw. Its eyes flashed green with pure hate. “Oh crap.” The figures horn glowed a beam of green light hit the pegasus sending him sliding against the floor. “I got Cadance, you get Blueblood. And run like there’s no tomorrow!” yelled Axel Gunn. Silver Brony flew full speed and grabbed Blueblood and he and Axel bolted out of the throne room. The figure growled and followed pursuit. “Who was that?” asked Silver Brony. “Who do you think?! It’s Crysalis”. Axel replied. In response the queen of the changelings yelled in frustration. “Here take Cadance. I’ll hold Queen Cheddar Legs off.” Silver Brony was going to complain, but this was not time. He took Cadance and flew away. Axel turned to the queen, who was gaining speed. He looked to the side and tore off a leg of a table that was holding a vase. “Prepare to get banned.” Axel then charged at the incoming threat. Fight Scenes Are MagicSilver Brony was forced to drop the two royal siblings. He looked down the corridor, panting. “Oh man, why do they have to be so heavy.” Behind him, five royal guards slowly crept up towards him, but before they could o anything Silver turned around a faced them. “Um, Hi.” He said. The guards looked at one anther and looked back the pegasus and smiled. Green flames engulfed them and they shown their true forms. Changelings. “Well, this gets better and better.” Silver grabbed the siblings and flew right at the changelings, passing them. They soon followed pursuit. Silver was flying slower by the minute due to him carrying the siblings. ‘Come on! All I have to do is get out of the castle!’ He looked over his shoulder. The changelings were gaining on him. He looked forward and scanned quickly to see a way to escape. Before he knew it he came at the end of the corridor. He made a sharp right. ‘There must be some way to hide or escape!’ he entered the more smaller corridors of the castle at a random choice; Silver barged threw one of the wooden doors, shattering it. He went in too fast, for he lost control and slammed against the wall directly across the door. All he saw before losing conciseness was a large white pony and the changelings, whom reverted back to their guard form. ******************************************************* Axel Gunn ducked for cover; to avoid the green energy blasts, still holding the table leg. The door began to catch fire; this caused Axel to run into the room that was right next him. He slammed the door and grabbed a stool. He then stood in his hind legs, with his wings providing balance; Axel Gunn faced the burning door with the stool in one hoof and the table leg in the other. He looked to his right as saw that the room had a kitchen. “Aw, yeah.” He said. It took Chrysalis a few minutes to figure out that Axel was in the room, but when she did, it was to late. She entered the room as saw bed sheets tide together to make a rope, which was tied against a weighted table. The rope was tied to Axel’s waist, who was also holding a piece of string. “Hope you like the room. Bye-Bye!” and Axel jumped, thus pulling the string. Chrysalis followed the strings trail and noticed that it led to the kitchen, which was giving off a weird smell. It took a fraction of a second too long to figure out what it was. Axel Gunn was holding for dear life was he dropped three stories to avoid what was about to happen. He then swung away from the castle and pushed himself towards the castle, aiming for the window so he could leap in. Before he made impact a loud explosion was heard. Axel Gunn slammed into the glass, but only cracked it. He then felt the grip of the rope lighten and swung again into the glass, so he wouldn’t become a smear on the ground. He was able to get through he glass and he braced for impact. *CRUNCH* “ow.” Axel slowly got up; his legs were wobbling with shards of glass on his hind legs and his wings. A siren blared in the distance; this was the second time it happened today. Axel then felt a tug and noticed that the table that was used as his weight was pulling him down. “Oh, boy” he said before the rope pulled him forward to the window. He quickly and in sloppy manure, untied the rope that was around his waist. He then fell back again, to regain his breath, only to feel more glass go into his backside. He immediate got up and limped away from the shards of the glass. “Shining Armor is going to kill me.” He said to himself. “Not before I do.” Axel froze and turned around and saw a smoldering Chrysalis, whom had the look that she wanted his head on a platter. “Well, this could have ended in a better way.” Chrysalis lunged at him and in retaliation Axel turned around and bucked Chyrsalis in the chest, sending her into the glass. Winded and in pain, Chrysalis got up, but was very weak. She turned to face her opponent, whom left hooked her in the jaw and then did a right upper cut to her face. Chrysalis fell again only to turn her head and blasted Axel in the stomach, sending him across the corridor, slamming and breaking a painting of Celestia. “You honestly believe you could defeat me?!” she boasted. “Yep.” “How so?” “Get your cheddar cheese legs over here and find out.” Chrysalis got even angrier. “I HAD ENOUGH OF BEING CALLED THAT! JUST FOR THAT, I MIGHT NOT EVEN KILL YOU! I AM-” “Gee, thanks! I like living and I’m glad that you understand that.” There was long pause. “I’m going to start beating you now. I might even enjoy it more than I should.” The queen threatened. Without warning the queen charged at the pegasus, whom ducked before she would attack and jumped up so he would land on her back. He then placed his right hoof on top of her head and the other at the bottom and used her as steering. “I think we should take this outside.” Axel remarked, who turned her head out of the window and the two went out into the setting sun. Chrysalis tried to break free of her hold with her head, but Axel was in control. So, she got her front hooves and grabbed his side and lifted him. “Have a nice trip.” and Chrysalis threw him straight down. But Axel flapped his wings immediately and used his gained force to right uppercut Chrysalis in the jaw. She lost consciousness and began to plummet to the ground. “Oh, no you don’t.” and Axel flew straight down to stop her. He was flying so fast, he didn’t even notice, before he heard a strange pop sound and all the sudden he gained even more speed. He was able to catch up to the queen and he grabbed her and slowed down and dropped her down on the ground. He was about to collapse, before being tackled by a grey-ish blur waked him up. “STAY DOWN!” Silver Brony yelled, as multi-colored blasts here being fired at the two. The pegausi ducked behind a large statue of Luna that was under construction. The blasts had no effect on the statue, so the two remained. “What the hell is going on?” asked Axel Gunn. “Long story short: I ran into guards that were in fact changelings. I flew for my life. Accidentally went into Celestia’s room, where the changelings transformed into guards again. Then I become Canterlot’s Most Wanted.” “Great. Have you seen the others?” “No. Either they skipped town, or they are hiding somewhere, or they are being detained.” Before Axel could talk, the statue exploded. The RDN ponies looked up and saw a battered and beaten Chrysalis, with a psychotic grin, with her right eye twitching. “oOoOoOOoo, there’s two of you! Double the fun.” She said slyly. Clearly she was on the breaking point of her sanity. The pegasi backed away slowly, but was quickly noticed by Chrysalis. “Oh, I do believe that you should do that.” She said. “What?” Silver Brony quivered. In a deep, dark, whispery tone, Chrysalis answered, ”Run.” The pones left nothing but a trail of the dirt they kicked up as they galloped away. The queen widened her grin and flew full speed in pursuit. “But they wouldn’t dare do that?” yelled Minti, who along with the six other RDN ponies that have been rounded up and placed in their quarters. All six had the faces of both anger and confusion of what they were told. “But the facts state other wise.” Princess Luna said. “Two of your ‘friends’ assaulted Princess Cadance and Prince Blueblood, scared the living daylights out of my sister and are now battling with the royal guard. They also caused my room to EXPLODE!” “There has got to be explanation for this.” Grey Scale stated. “Yes. There is. All of you will be placed into the dungeon until further notice. Your actions have endangered this city and her citizens. GUARDS! Take them away.” Luna barked. Soon there was close to fifteen guards that entered the room, with an additional five just outside the window to make sure the flyers wouldn’t escape. “This is going to be the worst experience ever.” mumbled Commodore Crazy. “Your highness!” yelled a earth pony guard,, who was running past the fifteen guards. “We have cornered the two in the maze in the courtyard. We also saw a third one aiding in their escape.” Luna turned and faced the six ponies. “You have ten seconds to explain this ‘third’ escapee.” All six gulped. This Fic Just Got Real!The maze in Canterlot’s Castle courtyard is big. Really big. It is about the size of three and a half football fields. Ever since it was made, the record time it took for a pony to go through the maze was one hour and twenty-six minutes. It also serves as another purpose. And two ponies has found that purpose. It’s a great place to hide. Now, there is a fault in the maze. Since ponies hate cheaters, if a pegasus is to enter the maze, they could not be able to fly out due to a magical barrier. If a pegasus were to fly over the maze, it will be blurred from their vision. So if one were to try to hide within the maze, it will be hard for whoever is looking for them to find them. Deep in the maze, Axel Gunn and Silver Brony sat down and leaned agains the green bush wall. “Axel?” “Yeah.” “How where you able to fend off Chrysalis? I mean when we saw her, she was over powering Cadance, and she’s an alicorn. Kind of hard to believe that a pegasus would beat her up.” “Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t she beaten by a combination of love a protection spell. And that’s after she nearly sucked all of the love out of Shining Armor. So possibly we caught her in a bad time she had yet to feed.” Silver Brony sighed. “You know, this wasn’t what I imagined what’ll happen when I found out I was in Equestria. I thought I would team up with the mane six and find a way out, and fight off some kind of threat that plans on making all of Equestria transform into bacon.” “I don’t know about you, but that’ll be awesome. Ponies being transformed into bacon!” “So how do you think we are going to get out of this mess?” Before Axel could answer, a black-coated unicorn with a red and white striped mane and tale jumped through the green bush wall, landing between the two. The pegasi where too tire to react. “Hey, you okay?” asked Axel. The unicorn mumbled in response. “You okay?” Axel asked again. “No.” the unicorn responded, who was stallion. “Well, who are you?” asked Silver Brony. “The names Conventrix.” The unicorn replied. “Great that makes nine of us.” commented Silver Brony. “Nine?” asked Conventrix. “You’re not the only one that got transported to Equestria. I’m Silver Brony and this is Axel Gunn. The others are possibly in the castle.” “Canterlot Castle?” “Yep. The bad part is that we got the entire royal guard ready to descend upon us and give us the beating of our lives, PLUS, we got a really angry queen of the changelings that really wants to thank Axel for beating the tar out of her.” “Wait.” Conventrix turned to Axel. “What?!” “Yeah.” Axel confirmed. “I beat the tar of Queen Chrysalis.” “Bull.” Conventrix replied. “No way. You couldn’t have beaten her. She has alicorn strength and she’s able to get stronger by sucking the love out of ponies. So, no. There is no possible way you could have defeated Chrysalis in hand to hand combat.” “Can we not discuss this, we got more pressing matters at our hands.” Axel hissed. “We got half, possibly more, of the royal guard hunting us down.” “There’s worse to come.” Conventrix said. “Yeah, we’re going to have accept judgment from both Luna and Celestia. Oh and Shining Armor as well.” Axel replied. “No. Worse than that.” “What could be possibly worse than that?” “Tomorrow afternoon, a train that leaves the station at 12:19 p.m. will be hijacked. The hijackers will hold the passenger’s hostage and the country of Equestria will have 90 minutes to release known terrorists and pay the hijackers 8 million bits. Plus, now that the know that I’m from an alternate reality, they want all knowledge of that as well.” Conventrix explained. “How do you know all of this?” asked Silver Brony. “I was captured by them. I was able to escape and I was heading here, but I stopped that after I heard sirens blaring and saw a flaming carriage fly past. I decided to rest in the courtyard.” Axel Gunn and Silver Brony looked at each awkwardly. “What?” Conventrix asked. “We and the others were in the carriage. You see, Celestia, Luna, and Shining Armor agreed to keep us inside the castle at all times until there would be a way for us to get home. We got bored and plotted a way to get out. The carriage was one of those attempts. The only reason why it was flying was because we used a crap ton of fireworks to act like a propulsion system.” Silver Brony explained. “So why are you being hunted by the royal guard?” “Long story.” “I think we have plenty of time.” “Fine. Here goes.” One long and detailed story later… “So the others bailed all because Blueblood entered the room?” “Childish, I know.” Axel Gunn commented. The night was in full swing and orders given and thrown around by the royal guard could be hear. “Let’s get a move on. We need to get out of this maze before the guard see us.” Conventrix said. “Wouldn’t they be blocking the exits?” asked Axel. “Would you rather be corned by the royal guard?” replied Silver Brony. “See your point. Alright let’s go.” Axel walked ahead. The unicorn and the other pegasus followed and began their journey out of the maze. ************************************************************************ Princess Cadance woke up lying down in a bed and from it looks like she was in the infirmary. ‘What happened? All I remember is a green flame and the grey pegasus holding on to me while he was flying away from something…Ugh! My head.’ The niece of Celestia robbed her head, hoping it will ease her pain, but it didn’t. “CADANCE! Oh, thank Celestia, you’re alright.” A familiar voice to her yelled, who then held on to her right hoof. “Shining Armor, what happened?” Cadance asked. “Two of the RDN ponies attacked you. Princess Luna is questioning the others right now. Oh, I swear if they hurt you in anyway, I’ll make them regret it!” “What happened to Blueblood?” “He’s alright. He was only knocked unconscious from a blow to the head. He does however claims that the two RDN ponies are innocent.” “How so?” “Before he was knocked out, he saw a dark figure attack him and he only saw the RDN ponies several feet away.” “They could have been making sure nothing would go wrong.” suggested Cadance. “That’s what Luna and Celestia believe. Personally, I’m torn. I know I haven’t known them for so long, but from what I saw, it isn’t in their nature to pull something off like this.” “We’re they trying to assassinate me and Blueblood?” Cadance getting stressed out even more. “Nonononononono. Please calm down, dear. From what was gathered, they were merely trying to kidnap you and Blueblood. Don’t know what goal they would achieve.” “Was anypony hurt?” “A few guards try to detain the one named Silver Brony and he fought back. They only suffered a few bruises, but nothing severe.” “Anything else happened.” “Luna lost her room.” “How so?” A concerned Cadance asked. “The one named Axel Gunn was possibly trying to avoid escape so he blew up Luna’s room to provide distraction so he and his accomplices’ could escape.” Cadance was about to ask another series of questions, but she was interrupted by one of the guards. “Sir, we’ve found them. They are in the northwester section of the maze. Should we move in?” the guard reported. “Immediately and send them both to the dungeon so they can explain this to their companions.” Shining Armor ordered. “Trust has been lost today.” ************************************************************************ “So, if we do get out of here, what are we gonna do?” asked Silver Brony. “We’re then going to avoid the royal guard as we try to escape here, then board the train that’s scheduled to be hijacked and stop it from happening.” Conventrix replied. “Axel Gunn, any guards?” “No, but we should be careful.” Axel replied. “By the way, who are the hijackers?” Silver Brony asked Conventrix “The most racially diverse group of hijackers I’ve ever seen. There is one of each race. Earth pony, pegasus, unicorn, diamond dog, mule, and a griffon. I’ve only met the leader once. All I remember was that he was as big as a house and was cloaked over. Deep voice, but that’s it.” Conventrix replied. “Wait, was the leader wearing a brown, wool cloak? Along with a grey coated, sky blue colored mane and tail?” Axel Gunn asked. “Yeah, why?” “Then we’re aren’t just dealing with some group of hijackers. Equestria is about to go two war with possibly the most lethal crime syndicate.” Axel stated. “How do you know it’s a crime syndicate?” asked Silver Brony. “Remember I told you guys about those banks down at Appleoosa?” “Yeah. You said that they were robbed of all their money and the banks were blown up.” “Some of the witnesses of the robberies came up with the same description of the two ‘heads’ of the robberies. One was a big build pony, with a brown wool cloak and the other was a dark grey-coated pegasus with a sky blue mane and tale.” Axel continued. “So the two are graduating from robbers to hijackers. Fantastic.” Conventrix grumbled. “GUYS!” Silver Brony whispered loudly, there’s the exit. And low and behold, there it was. With no guards present. “I say we make a break for it. We’ll meet up at the train station.” “Agreed. It’s nighttime, so the night guards could be running things now.” Conventrix observed. Axel Gunn and Silver Brony stood on their hind legs and stood against the bush, sneaking slowly. Conventrix tried to stand on his hind legs, but failed, so he decided to crawl his way. Axel looked around to see if there were any guards on the ground and the air. He saw nothing and signaled to the others that it was all clear. The three galloped out of the maze and took cover under a tree. They turned around and saw pegasus guards flying around the maze. “THERE THEY ARE! GET THEM!” yelled a guard from the distance. “Scatter!” ordered Conventrix and the three ponies parted ways to avoid capture. Silver Brony gave flight, but before he could reach the clouds, a night guard tackled him and they began to plummet towards the ground. The grey pegasus struggled to get out of the guards grip, but he was to strong. Just before he made impact, he suddenly turned, making the night guard into a cushion as they slid against the ground. The guard loosened his grip, so in response, Silver elbowed the guard in the ribs. The guard released his grip and Silver flew away. He only hoped that the others were able to escape. ************************************************************************ “Are we even sure that they did indeed tried to kidnap Cadance and Blueblood?” wondered Elo. “I mean look at the facts. This black figure gave off a green colored flame and it attacked Blueblood and Cadance. Kind of a dead give-away, isn’t?” “Yeah, we know.” answered Eagle Hooves. “Now because of them, we’re in the dungeons. Thanks to Grey Scale, the entire country of Equestria is looking for a pony by the name of Redenchilada.” “The name just popped in my head, sorry.” Gray Scale rolled his eyes. “It’ll take them a bit to figure out that it’s a lie. Did you see how angry Luna was? May whatever god those two believe in have mercy on their souls” Minti said. The others nodded. “So, how are we going to get out of this mess?” asked Derpyshy. “We have to tell them of the royal wedding episode. Granted, it’s going to drastically change the wedding plans, but at least we are telling the truth.” Commodore Crazt replied. At the bars, instead of talking Minti began bucking the padlock so he could kick his way out. The noise began to irritate the others. “Do you need help?” asked Eagle Hooves. “That’ll be greatly appreciated.” Replied Minti. The others grouped up and began kicking the door. After a few minutes, the door refused to give. “Well that worked.” Grey Scale stated. “How about this: Every now and then a guard come down and take us in for questioning. Right?” asked Minit. “Yeah.” Answered Commodore Crazy. “So, whoever is next, leaves and tackles the guard. They then grab the keys and throw here. Someone would grab the keys and unlock the door if need be.” “Sounds like a good plan, but multiple flaws. What if the guard yells for help? Then even more guards swarm us. Also, what if the person misses and the key is out of reach? Also, I don’t think we know how to put a sleeper hold on a pony, let alone a royal guard.” Grey Scale pointed out. “Do we have to try to break out? I mean the last time we tried that, we landed in the middle of the Everfree Forest. I think we should wait this out and stay low until things cool down.” suggested Derpyshy. “The brony’s got a point.” Commodore agreed. “I agree also.” chimed in Eagle “Fine. We’ll stay low and cooperate with Luna and others. Think that’ll cause Shining Armor to faint from shock.” Grey Scale stated, with the others snickering in response. A loud creaking sound, followed by a loud bang was heard. All six knew that is was the entrance into the dungeons and either they are bout to get a new guest or they are going to get yelled at again. Much to their horror, it was neither a guest or a guards, but Princess Celestia, herself. Eagle Hooves cowered to the far corner of the dungeon room, hoping the hide himself. The others backed away slowly and began to lower themselves to the floor hoping that the floor would miraculously camouflage them and the Sun Goddess wouldn’t see them. “Why did two of you decided to foolishly attack my neice and nephew?” Celestia asked in commanding tone. There was no response. “SPEAK!” The six flinched. They all began to sweat bullets. Before Celestia would ask again, an explosion of the highest magnitude went off, devastating the castle, including the dungeons. Rubble landed on Celestia, paralyzing her to the ground. The six ponies went flying in the as debris fell on them as well. A few minutes later everything was still. “What the buck was that?!” yelled Grey Scale. “Explosion, you idiot! Now check to see if everyone is okay.” Commodore yelled back. “Can’t!” “Why not.” “Kind of hard to move when you got about a tons weight of rocks and boulders on your back.” Grey Scale wasn’t lying. He was completely buried in stone, along with Elo and Eagle Hooves. “Anyone still alive?” yelled Commodore. “I Am.” yelled back Minti as he got up. “Anyone else?” “Derpyshy here!” “Minti go check on Celestia. The bars dented enough for you to get past.” Commodore ordered. Though the bars were dented enough for Minti to get past, but it was just barely. Minti walked up to the princess, who had rocks on her hind legs and her back. “She doesn’t look to good. We need to move the rocks one at a time, or they collapse on her.” Minti reported. “Great. The same goes for Grey, Eagle and Elo. Minti, try to aid Celestia, while Derpyshy and I will aid the others.” Commodore commanded. Minti turned to face the princess, but saw a brown-cloaked figure standing on the other side of the princess. “Who are you?” Minti asked. In response, the figure turned around bucked Minti in the face sending him across the dungeon. “MINTI!” Derpyshy yelled. Commodore Crazy then lunged at the foe, who just stood in their place. The moment Crazy grabbed the figure, they turned so fast, they sent Crazy flying into another cell, breaking the bench inside it. The figure then began to move rocks that were on top Celestia with immense ease. Once done the figure rose his fore hooves, ready to stomp the princess. Derpyshy took this moment to strike and flew right at the figure, but instead of stomping the princess, the figure only flicked his hooves on both Derpyshy’s face and chest and sent him hurtling back into the cell. The figure rose it’s hooves again, and this completing his goal. All the still-conscious ponies flinched when they heard the crunch made by Celestia’s ribs. The figure then grabbed her hair and lifted her up. “Well, well, well.” It said with a dark smooth whispery tone. “Looks like I’m the first pony to ever break the sworn protector of Equestria.” After it’s boast, the figure threw the princess at Commodore, thus slamming into him. “I already know of your existence, maggots. I already know of your ‘Rainbow Dash Network’ and its purpose. My only suggestion is for you get out of this world quickly. For there will be no dawn for Equestria.” The figure stated. It then touched a piece of brass attached to the right shoulder area of the cloak. “I’m ready.” Then a hole was blown in to the dungeon and a rope was dangling just outside. The figure then walked, with no regret for the atrocities it has committed and existed the castle. ************************************************************************ “My God.” Conventrix said in shock and despair. He and along with the other citizens of Ponyville watched in horror as smoke rises from Canterlot. Around him, ponies were on the ground sobbing, others were staring in shock, hoping it is a bad dream. It wasn’t. They knew it isn’t a dream. Somepony out there had declared war on Equestria in the boldest fashion. By bombing the city of Canterlot. He soon got out of his daze and walked into the Sugar Cube Corner and met up with Axel and Silver. “How bad is it?” Axel asked. “Extremely bad. This must have been that back-up plan.” “The one that will be used in case the train plot was exposed?” Silver Brony asked. “Yeah. I knew they would change their plans, but never knew they would go this far.” “You’re the one that made us go this far, Mr. Conventrix.” Conventrix quickly turned around and faced a pegasus, griffon and a mule along with a half a dozen ponies in dark green cloaks. “Are these they guys you’ve been talking about?” asked Axel. “Oh, so he told you.” The unicorn answered. “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to come with us. You see, we can’t have people knowing of our plans. It’s just bad for the organization.” The three ponies began to back up, but more ponies with dark green cloaks came in through the back, thus surrounding the three and the ponies still inside. “What do you want?” Axel asked. “We want our plans to move smoothly, but your appearance has little impact to our plans. We only just want you to leave.” The unicorn stated. “We don’t even know how we got here, so what makes you think that we could get out.” “Oh, we’ve found someone that could help you.” The unicorn turned to cloaked ponies. “Bring him in” Three of them nodded and bowed. They then turned around and left for a short time. When they returned they were holding on an off-white coated pegasus with a red and blue striped mane and tale. “RDN, meet Techdash, the head of Equestria’s R&D Department. Granted I’m a unicorn, I hardly doubt magic will assist you on your return back to your home. We’ll give you fifteen minutes. Oh, everypony that’s not them, you may leave unharmed. I believe that you should pray for the ponies that were in the castle and hope that the princess is okay.” stated the unicorn. The unicorn along with most of the cloaked ponies left. It took a few minutes before the other ponies realized it was time to leave. Conventrix helped Techdash up. “You alright, buddy?” he asked. “Yeah. I’m not hurt that bad.” the pegasus replied. “It’s my fault that I resisted.” “What did they want from you?” asked Axel Gunn. “They wanted the plans for this device that we’re about to make. They learned that the plans were going to be moved to Las Pegasus, where the device was going to be built. Since they got to me, they learned what the route they would take and took the plans.” Techdash explained. “What is the device meant to do?” Silver Brony asked. “To extract the magic elements from gemstones and store it in a container.” “What could it possibly do?” “They just tested it on Canterlot.” “How much energy caused something like that?” Axel asked. Techdash sighed. “60 gemstones. And they have countless more. However their leader is, they have ties with the diamond dogs and are receiving the stones from them.” “They made you build the machine, didn’t they?” “Yes, but the machine is extremely complex, so that’s why they still want me here.” The unicorn returned and held the door open. “Time to go. All of you.” The cloaked ponies behind the four ponies pushed them forward. ************************************************************************ “EVACUATE THE CASTLE!” yelled Shining Armor. The guards saluted and ran back into the castle, which was still in flames from the explosion. He pointed to the next two dozen guards. “Get the civilians out of the city. And if any ask about Celestia and Luna, we’ve got them out!” In the distance, another tower fell due to the flames. Aid from other cities, towns and villages were just arriving, doing their best to aid the crippled city. “Set up an emergency clinic down at Star-Swirled Avenue. All the inured will be transported there and then they will be shipped to either Ponyville General or Cloudsdale Hospital.” Shining Armor ordered. Cadance was shipped out immediately after the explosion occurred, but there has been no information about where she went. “Sir!” yelled a grey-coated pegasus guard, whose armor was grayed due to the smoke. “What is it?” Shining Armor asked. “We have gathered information that Celestia went to the dungeon to question the RDN ponies at the time of the explosion. We went to the dungeons, but rubble is currently blocking the entrance. We’ve also found a hole that leads into the dungeon, but before we could enter it caved.” the guard reported. “Get the best construction crew and have them dig out the entrance. For all we know the princess is still inside.” ************************************************************************ The dungeon air was thick and moist. The air ducks were the only ones that saved the six ponies and princess from suffocation. “Commodore! How is the princess?” Minti yelled, shaking his head, trying to regain focus. “Her ribs are either cracked or broken. She’s in immense pain, Minti. We need to get out of here and fast.” Commodore reported. “Hey, someone help pull Elo out!” Derpyshy requested. Minit slowly galloped up and grabbed Elo’s right hoof, while Derpyshy grabbed his left and they heaved. Elo was barely consciousness and wasn’t responding to either Minti’s and Derpyshy’s questions. “Eagle Hooves, I need you to get a bench.” Commodore said. Eagle Hooves was the first to get out of the rubble prison, and was now regaining his train of thought. He looked around for a good bench and finally saw one. The hinges where barely connected to the wall, so it was easy to disconnect the bench. He then brought it to Crazy. “Alright, we need to lift her up and placer her on the bench. We’ll use the chains as trapes to hold her down.” Commodore said and Eagle nodded in response. “Three. Two. One. HEAVE!” The ponies lifted the heavy princes and placed her on the bench. “See those pile of rocks?” Eagle pointed out. “Let’s balance the bench there so we could tie the chains.” “Alright. Three. Two. ONE!” and the ponies lifted the bench and carried it to the rocks and placed it down. Commodore began to tie the chains around Celestia’s chest and her legs. “PRINCESS IS SUCCURE!” Eagle yelled. “Grey is free!” responded Derpyshy. Sounds of digging were heard behind the pile of rubble that was blocking the entrance. “Hey! We got some survivors that need medical attention!” yelled Grey Scale. “Is the princess in there?” a voice yelled back. “Yes, but she needs medical attention right now!” Minti yelled back. “Okay, hold on! We’re almost there!” the voice replied. The rubble began to shift and crumble as earth ponies with construction gear on broke through the wall of rubble and came in. Medicinal staff rushed in and swarmed the princess. “What happened to her?” asked one of the doctors. “Rubble fell on her and one of the ponies that set off the explosion just came in and beaten her senseless.” Derpyshy answered. “We need to get her to Clousdale Hospital.” The doctor informed the others. Immediately the medical staff picked up the bench and carried the crippled princess out of the dungeon. ************************************************************************ The cloaked figure walked into the dark, damp aired room. In the center of the room was a floating orb, giving off the only source of light in the room, which was extremely dim. The moment the figure came at arms length away, the orb became bright as the sun. “Report.” said the orb. “We had to change our plans evolving the train hijacking. We came into contact with a pony from an alternate reality. While he was being moved to on of our warehouses, he escaped.” reported the figure. “What was this pony’s name?” asked the orb. “Conventrix, sir.” “Continue.” “In response to the prisoner’s escape, we’ve decided to move to our back-up plan, which involved the usage of the machine that we stole plans of.” “How well did it work?” “It was perfect. The entire city is in smoke and fire. I personally saw to it that Celestia wouldn’t interfere anytime soon.” The orb chuckled. “Good. Good.” “Is there anything more you want me to do?” the figure asked. “No. Not at the moment. I’ll be senidng more soldiers to for our cause. Leading them will be the General.” The figure was taken aback. “The General is coming. “Yes. My brother and me have heard of your activities in Appleoosa. We are dispointed in you. You were told that you must never return to bank robbing of anykind. Wea re letting you go free of this, but if this ever happens again, you’ll never be safe. There is not a place in this world that you can hide. Understood?” “Yes, sir.” “Good.” The orb then reverted back to its extremely dim color, leaving the figure alone in the darkness. The figure walked out of the room and pointed a group of minions. “Inform the others that the General is arriving.” The figure informed. The minions smiled, ear to ear. They knew that once the General arrives, everything is going to change. Their so-called ‘revolution’ is about to begin. ************************************************************************ Luna paced back and forth in the emergency room of Ponyville General. The news that the doctors told her was very grim. From what the doctors told her, the injuries that Celestia has been suffering from. Celestia has a severe concussion, cracked ribs on the right rib, and four broken ribs on her left rib. He leg were also sprained and her back was nearly broken, along with tiny pieced of rubble only centimeters from penetrating the spinal cord. The most minor of all those injuries was that her nose was broken. The doctors also informed Luna that Celestia has entered into a coma and they don’t know when she’ll come out of it or if she’ll ever come out of it. So much has happened for the past two days. Cadance has finally been located. She was accidentally transferred to Manehatten First Aid Clinic. Luna rubbed her head. Bags began to form under her eyes. “Your highness?” Shining Armor asked, interrupting Luna’s train of thought. “Huh…Oh. Sorry Captain Armor. What is it?” Luna asked. “My sister and her friends have arrived.” Armor informed. “Good. Good, please allow them to come in.” Armor bowed and left the emergency room for only a short second before returning the wielders of Elements of Harmony. They bowed to the princess, and she returned the gesture. “Is Princess Celestia okay?” Pinkie Pie asked, whose mane and tail was flat. “She could be better, Ms. Pie. She is currently resting.” Luna informed. “Are you okay?” asked Rarity. “No. I, too, need rest after the days events.” “I heard she was in the dungeon. Why was she down there?” asked Trilight. Luna sighed. “Do you remember the grey dragon you saw a couple days ago?” Luna asked. Twilight nodded. “He transformed into a pony-dragon hybrid, but that is only the start. He and many others were from an alternate reality and are part of the same group.” Luna informed. “What group?” asked Rainbow Dash. Luna chuckled. “RDN. Rainbow Dash Network.” Rainbow was taken aback and mouth was agape. “Rainbow….Dash..Network..” she said, repeatedly. “Yes. It’s what they call a website. More specifically a social networking site where others could on and talk to others around their world.” Luna explained in more detail. “But why were they in the dungeon?” asked Twilight. “A couple hours before the explosion, there was a separate incident that occurred in the castle. Princess Mi Amo…Princess Cadane and Prince Blueblood were the primary targets of a kidnapping attempt. Two of these RDN ponies are possible suspects of the attempt and a third has been confirmed to have assisted in their escape, whom we learned goes by the name Red Enchilada.” The group remained quiet. “Are Blueblood and Cadance alright?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, but Blueblood believes that the two RDN ponies had nothing to do with the kidnapping attempt. Normally he would blame everypony around him when something bad happens, but not this. He said that they tried to save him and his sister-“ “Blueblood and Cadance are siblings?” Twilight said louder than need be, and immediately blushed in embarrassment. “Yes. Ms. Sparkle. As I was saying Blueblood believes that they were trying to save his sister mainly.” Luna continued. A guard then entered into the emergency and bowed to the princess. “Your highness. I have news.” The guard said. “Then tell us.” Luna ordered. “Blueblood was so persistent in proving the RDN ponies innocence, when he was sent to Ponyville, we went into the library, locked the door and proceeded to look through most of books so he can show the creature he saw.” The guard reported. “Wait, my library?” asked Twilight. “Yes.” Twilight was at stand still. She didn’t whether to be angry that Blueblood was in her library, but the reasoning astounded her. From what Rarity told her, Blueblood is a snob to the nth degree and refuses to do anything that is remotely related to commoners. “Could you please take me there?” requested Twilight. The guard looked at Luna and nodded her approval. “Please follow me, Ms. Sparkle.” the guard said, allowing her to lead the way. ************************************************************************ The captives were forced at the door of the library. “We’ll keep you here for no.” said the unicorn. “Now, open the door.” Conventrix tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. “Knock the.” the unicorn persisted. Conventrix knocked and a frustrated tone came in return. “Sorry! The library is closed for the day. Please come back tomorrow!” “Enough of this.” said the unicorn. He raised his forelegs and kicked the door down and he and his minions, along with their captives, stormed into the library. When they got up the stairs, they saw a white-coated unicorn with a light brown mane and tail. He was wearing noble-like clothing. “How dare you break in!” yelled Blueblood. “Ah. Prince Blueblood. This just gets better and better. Seize him.” the unicorn ordered and other minions grabbed and held down the prince. “Now, what makes a prince, no less you of all ponies, to come into a library?” asked the unicorn. The prince remained silent. “We’ll make you talk, eventually. Having a prince as a hostage will please the boss very much.” “What are you?” asked Silver Brony. “Us? We’re Equestria’s rebirth. We believe that the Royal Sisters had their fun on the throne. Now it’s our turn.” the unicorn said smugly. “And how are you going to do that?” asked Axel. “Look around you. You’re standing in the middle of the best militia in all of Equestria. We’ve got all the crime lords and former royal guards ready to move. BOOM! In a few weeks, we’ll have the entire Griffon Liberation Front tied up in a nice ribbon. BA-BANG!” exclaimed the unicorn. ************************************************************************ Twilight and a few guards were coming up the street that led to the library. Just before they turned to face ht library, the noticed several guards and officers making a perimeter of the building. “What’s going on?” asked one of the guards. “I’m officer Alipoe. I’m from FDPD. Inside that building is the leader of a small group of thieves known as the Diversity Gang. We’re working along with PVPD by setting up a perimeter around the library before we storm the place.” The officer informed. “And the reason why the royal guards are here?” asked the guard. “Prince Blueblood is inside the building. We also saw the head of Equestria’s R&D department within and three ponies that we have yet to identify.” Alipoe replied. The guard cursed under his breath. He turned to the one behind him. “Inform Shining Armor of the situation. Tell him that the RDN ponies may be inside.” “Wait.” Alipoe interrupted. “RDN? As in ‘Rainbow Dash Network’?” “Yes. How did you know of that?” asked the guard. “I ran into two of them in Fillydelphia.” “Who were those ponies?” “Silver Brony and Commodore Crazy.” “Then you might meet Silver Brony again, for he may be in there as well.” T he guard informed. “Sir?” asked the other guard waiting for further orders. “Why are you still here? GO!” ordered the guard. He turned to Alipoe. “Get ready to storm the building in five minutes.” Alipoe nodded sternly and galloped towards the other officers. “Please don’t damage the library to badly, please.” requested Twilight. “Not making any promises.” responded the guard. ************************************************************************ “Boss! There’s officers and royal guards surrounding us.” informed one of the minions. “Do you have the cases?” asked the unicorn. “Yes.” answered the minion. “Then get ready.” The minion smiled. ************************************************************************ “Alright move in!” ordered Alipoe. Immediately the officers and guards galloped at full speed towards the library. ************************************************************************ Minions stood near all windows, opening up crates that they’ve been carrying. They all looked towards their leader. He nodded. “Do it.” ************************************************************************ When the officers and guards got within five feet away from the entrance to the library, all the windows facing them shattered beams of light fired at them. The group scattered avoiding the beams. Explosions were happing everywhere as the beams hit the ground. Smoke and dirt filled the air. The beams of light fired rabidly across the street. Unbeknownst to them, the minions, the unicorn and their captives left the front entrance and ran into an alleyway. Once they left, the shooting stopped and the officers stormed the building, not knowing that the building was empty. The officers and the guards searched every nook and cranny of the library trying to find whoever shot at them. One of the officers opened up a chest, which there was string attached to a few tubes and a rusty metal container that had a rainbow glow. “Sir, what is this?” the officer asked his superior. The officer looked back at the chest and the last thing he saw was blinding purple flash and a wave of heat. ************************************************************************ “DOWN!” yelled a guard, tackling Twilight, using his body as a shield from the shrapnel. Wood and glass fell like rain in the surrounding areas. Firefighters arrived at the scene immediately doing their best in terms of putting out the flames and getting as many survivors as possible. The guard got up and helped Twilight up. The lavender pony looked in horror as she witnessed her home and job burned to the ground. She kneeled down and started to cry, with the guard that protected her wrapping her body around with a blanket. ************************************************************************ The captives were able to escape after the explosion. Most of the minions were caught of guard of the loudness and the size of the explosion. The captors made a run for it and broke off the bonds they were wearing when they went into the alleyway, avoiding the officers. Across from the alley they were in was a hospital. They all agreed that once they are in there, they would be protected. They ran out of the alleyway and galloped towards the hospital. ************************************************************************ Luna was once again pacing waiting for more news from the doctors. The remaining wielders of the Elements went down to the cafeteria to get some food. Luna was hungry, but didn’t want to leave incase the doctor was to come out. Then she heard yelling coming from outside of the hospital. Before she would reach the door, five ponies, two unicorns, three pegasus busted through the door. All but one she recognized. “GUARDS! SEIZE MR. BRONY AND MR. GUNN!” the princess ordered very loudly. The guards followed their orders and held down Silver and Axel. Luna walked up to the black unicorn. “And you must be Red Enchilada? Yes?” asked Luna menacingly. “um..ah..N-n-o.” the unicorn stammered. “Then who are you?!” the princss slammed her right for hoof on the ground, cracking the floor. “Conventrix.” “Are you part of RDN?” “Yes.” “Guards. Seize Mr. Conventrix now and take them away.” Luna ordered. “What the hell did I do?” yelled Conventrix. “You tried to kidnap Prince Blueblood and Princess Cadacne. You’ll wish you’ve never done such a thing.” Luna threatened. “Kidnap! Lady, I was held captive by a group of terrorists the entire time I’ve been here! I only just recently escaped!” Conventrix yelled. “You dare talk to me like that?!” Luna fumed. “YEAH! WHAT ABOUT IT?!” Conventrix shouted. “Plus, what makes you think we tried to kidnap Cadance and Blueblood. WE tried to save them!” Silver Brony joined in. “Really?! From whom?” asked Luna in an annoyed. “Chryslalis. Queen of the changelings.” Axel responded. The entire room fell silent. “TAKE THEM AWAY!” Luna furiously ordered. The guards holding the RDN ponies shoved them forward, out of the lobby. They guards shoved the ponies into a cube shaped wooden carriage, with bars on all the windows. All the ponies were silent as the guards pulled the carriage and entered the Everfree Forest. “Great now, we’re prisoners.” mumbled Silver Brony. Axel turned to Conventrix. “So did it feel to stand up to Luna like that?” Conventrix chuckled. “To be honest, the most scariest thing in my entire life. Really thought she would chew my head off.” he answered. “Hopefully the others aren’t going through this stuff. Lord, it’s been a long day.” Axel said. The others nodded their head in agreement. There was flash of green and the carriage stopped. “Oh come on! Not again!” yelled Silver Brony. The roof of the carriage ripped clean off with a green-ish glow surrounding it. The roof was then thrown to the side. Flying into view was the battered and furious queen of the changelings. “Oh, boy.” Axel murmured. “Don’t even try to escape.” Chryslalis ordered. “Why?” Silver Brony asked, in spite of his fear. The queen smiled and her horn glowed. The walls around the carriage collapsed and surround it was hundreds of changelings. “That’s why.” Chrysalis said. “Can you just come another day? We just got kidnapped.” Axel stated. “Tell that to your companions.” The queen then nudged her head to a group of changelings, who moved to show the other RDN ponies in green slime, captive. “Now, please resist. I really want to repay you for interfering with my plans.” The ponies stayed where they were. “Good. Seize them.” Chyrsalis ordered. “Haven’t heard that a lot today.” Axel mumbled as the changelings used their magic to shackle the ponies and brought them to the other RDN ponies. “Guys, Conventrix. Conventrix, the other RDN ponies.” Silver introduced. The others nodded. “Eagle Hooves.” “Commodore Crazy.” “Grey Scale” “Minti” “Elo” “Derpyshy.” “So how are going to get out of this?” asked Conventrix. Minti shrugged. “Who knows? When the window shows itself.” The changelings shoved the now nine RDN ponies forcing them to march. The ponies walked on, going deep in to the Everfree Forest. Chapter Three PreviewThe noble was quietly sitting in his carriage having no care for the world outside. And why should he? Nopony would try to get past the royal guards pulling his carriage and try to steal the package he was transporting. All that needs to be done is to get the package to Manehatten and give it to the next pony for the following leg. Orders were specifically given not to open the package. ‘Kind of blandish order, if you ask me’ thought the noble when he was given the order. ‘Already an easy task to begin with. Like i care for what’s in the package.’ He was in the carriage for about a hour and a half. Most of which he spent either in his thoughts or resting. He occasionally tried to talk to the royal guards, but as predicted they stayed silent. ‘Wonder what their lives are like outside of their jobs.’ the noble thought to himself. In the middle of the thought a sudden jerk behind the carriage pushed the noble forward into the wall in front of him. He opened the window that allowed him to talk to the guards pulling the carriage. “WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?” He yelled. Before they could answer, two ropes suddenly hooked on both sides of the the front of the carriage and before the noble knew it, he was airborne, rising up from the ground. The carriage swayed as is it rose in the air. Eventually the ropes on the front released and the noble smacked into the window so hard, he went through it. Holding on for dear life to the handles outside, the noble slowly pulled himself back into the carriage. When he did, he noticed a dark grey pegasus with a sky blue mohawk holding the package that the noble sworn to protect. But the pegasus wasn’t alone. A black cloaked figure stood the the right of the noble. The figure was on four legs, but had the build and size of a diamond dog. “We’ll be taking this from you.” announced the figure. “What are you?” the noble asked. “Reckoning.” the figure answered. And just like that the grey pegasus exited the way he came and the figure followed. The noble stood there in awe of what just transpired in front of him. Eventually he lost sense of gravity, as if he was light as a feather. The noble looked out the shattered window and saw the ground closing in fast....
Introductions I : NewcomersRAINBOW DASH NETWORK IN EQUESTRIA BY DOATES CHAPTER ONE ***** It was an average day for the Internet. Particularly the site known as, Rainbow Dash Network. If you haven’t heard of RDN, then you are dumb. Nah, just kidding! :D It’s a site devoted to the popular show My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. If you know anything about the Internet, then you have heard of the odd fan base that spawned from it; commonly known as the bronies. Naturally, some websites were created to act like a base of this fandom. Equestria Daily is the world-renowned king of the websites. But some decided to create a social networking site based on bronies. Many were made, but there is a clash between only two. Pony Square and the subject of this story, Rainbow Dash Network. You see there are many users on the site. Some on that site would say that it it is the best site they ever been on because they can actually talk to people and socialize. Though, today, something different happened to some of them. APPLEOOSA ‘...Whoa....What happened?’ Thought the pony, ‘Where am I? What is this place?’ The pony looked around at his surroundings to figure out where he was. From what he saw, he was in an alley of sorts between two wooden building-like structures. He slowly walked out, wincing at the sun, and noticed that he was in the middle of a town reminiscent of the wild west. The pony looked around to see if there were anyone in the town. But he didn't see any people; oh no, he saw ponies. ‘Ohhhhhhh, crap,’ he thought. ‘This is going to be a loooooooong day.’ Ohhhhhhh, crap,’ he thought. ‘This is going to be a loooooooong day.’ CANTERLOT It was an average day in Equestria’s capital. Princess Celestia was awaiting the arrival of her star pupil to a seminar that she would be hosting. Twilight had asked her friends to come with her, but they sadly had to turn down the invitation. It was understandable, and in any case, she would be arriving any minute now. ‘Hopefully, she will arrive sooner so she can help me out with this pesky fly!’ SMACK! ‘Darn it!’ ***************************************************************************************** ‘What the...? How the heck did I get here?’ The newcomer was dizzy from his sudden travel. He began to look around to see if he knew where he was. He first noticed that he was in some kind of library and that there was a window nearby. He decided to look out of it to see where he was and discovered that he was in a castle which looked familiar to him, but couldn’t quite figure out how. He tried to see if there was anyone outside that could tell him where he was, but there was no one. Nothing but a group of horses. ‘Well, I guess I need to go out and try to find someone,’ he thought. He was about to leave until he saw the door open... ***************************************************************************************** “Princess Celestia!” Twilight yelled as she ran up to her mentor. “Welcome, Twilight, How was the train ride?” Asked her mentor. “It was great, thank you,” Twilight answered. “It has been a long time since the Gala, and since the seminar does not start until tomorrow, let us talk about your time in Ponyville in detail,” Celestia said. Twilight gave a quick squeal in excitement, and began to think of all the things she had experienced while in Ponyville since the Grand Galloping Gala and tried to decide on what to start with. Twilight looked up to her teacher, noticing that the princess seemed annoyed or frustrated about something. Her eyes were staring wildly and angry at something along the corridors of the palace. That was when she heard a low buzzing sound. SMACK! Twilight yelped from the sudden sound. “Sorry, Twilight.” Celestia said apologetically. “There has been a pesky fly going around and it has gotten on my last nerve.” Twilight watched as a small black dot floated past her face and towards the entrance to the private library. “Let’s follow it into the library. In there we could trap it and get rid of it,” Twilight suggested. The two walked up to the door, seeing that the fly was trying to get in. Twilight’s horn glowed as she levitated an empty flower bowl that was nearby. Celestia raised the swatter with hers, and nudged the door open, letting the fly in. **************************************************************************************** The newcomer freaked out the moment the door opened. He started frantically looking around to see if there were any hiding spots within the room, but there were none. There were only shelves on top of shelves of books around the room and a few cushions on the ground. The only way to hide would be to either hope that the cushions didn’t give him away, or hope that there would be something for him to hang on to outside the windows. If he chose the latter, he could risk being seen by the crowd below. Sweat began to run down his back. The only option other than hiding is to brace for the confusion that was about to start when he is seen by whoever is coming through the door. He would have expected some guards or security, but what he saw were two horses coming through the door. One was a tall white horse with a horn and a pair of wings and a glowing, multi-coloured mane and tail. The other was a shorter lavender unicorn with a purple mane and tail with pink stripes going down them. ‘You have got to be kidding me!’ The stranger and the two horses stared at each other. CLOUDSDALE It was a calm and peaceful day in Cloudsdale, everything was going according to schedule in terms of weather. The pegasi were able to spend the rest of the week to relax or practice, mainly practice. Though the main reason they are is that the Wonderbolts were in town and the younger pegasi wanted to show off their stuff. What surprised the young ones was that the Wonderbolts weren’t out and about as they usually are, but instead taking some R&R after a dragon attack in Ponyville a couple days ago. Where they were staying, they kept to themselves and the employees of the spa they were staying in. Though some say that the spa isn’t fit for ponies of their popularity, but it is the place they prefer to go to. Soarin’, Blaze and Fleetfoot were by the pool area, going through the best massages, while Spitfire was just floating in the pool. They were trying to heal their wings and backs since the purple dragon threw a large bell at them, causing them to slam into the mountain nearby. “We should do this more often.” Soarin’ said to his compatriots. He was an inch from sleep from the massage he is receiving. “You wish. We barely find the time to take R&R due to our tough schedule.”replied Blaze, “Most ponies think that we spend most of our time practicing, but instead we just go to public events. Speaking of which, we need to get ready for the next Best Flyers Competition.” “Nothing could beat last year's competition. After what Rainbow Dash pulled off, nothing could beat that.” Fleetfoot said. “But my question is that who is going to judge this year’s competition?” “Wave Chill, Soarin’, Spitfire, Misty, Fire Streak, and myself judged last years.” answered Blaze. “That leaves You, High Winds, Lightning Streak, and Surprise.” “Say, didn’t we see Dash at the Gala last year? Didn’t she and her friends make it into a frenzy?” asked Fleetfoot. Blaze shrugged. “I wasn’t there, but I did hear that Blueblood got caked in the face. I wish I’d seen that!” “Well Soarin’ was there. Hey, Soarin’, care to tell us your tale of the Gala last year, again?” There was no response. “Soarin’?” Soarin’ had fallen asleep from the massage. His companions snickered at the sleep-face he was making. They then turned their heads to talk to Spitfire about her time at the Gala when they noticed a pegasus falling and flailing its limbs straight down into the pool. Spitfire, shocked by the large splash dived under the water. The pegasus that had fallen immediately came up, still scared out of their mind, trying to stay afloat. The other Wonderbolts just stared in shock towards what was happening in front of them. Spitfire came up for air, giving daggers at the pegasus that interrupted her nirvanna in the water. The pegasus had a peach-colored coat, with a green-bushy tail and mane. They also had a green glasses and a now wet vest. “What the hay?” Spitfire yelled as she got out of the pool. The pegasus was on the deck coughing out water. “Hey!” Spitfire slightly shoved the pegasi. “What the hay was that for?” The pegasus finally looked up at looked at Spitfire. Their eyes became saucers and they looked over their shoulder and looked at their wings and began to flap them. They eventually looked back at the Wonderbolts. And right then and there the peach-colored pegasus fainted. FILLYDELPHIA It was a calm and quiet day in the city of Fillyedelphia. The city was finally economically stable after an infestation of parasprites invaded the city. Though its population isn’t in the upper class, the city is on par with Manehattan. The farmers were able to open a market so that they could get money during the season and keep their jobs. The newcomer landed in a farm. Disoriented, he walked in a zig-zag pattern through the field until he could finally get his head clear. He began to study his surroundings, and noticed that he was in the middle of a lush green field, and that looking west from this location revealed a view of a city nearby. Realising he had few other options other than to walk there, he began to attempt to walk. Now that his mind was clear, he noticed he wasn't moving normally. He stopped and looked over himself, finding that he had a tail, mane, and no hands. ‘Great. I’m in a bad fanfic,’ thought the pony. As he was walking down hill, he was tackled by someone, or somepony, behind him. The pony immediately jumped up to face his attacker. It was a red muscular pony, with a blond mane and tail and freckles. ‘The first pony I meetis Big Mac. This is going to be perfect,’ He thought. “Who are you?” asked Big Mac. ‘Can’t believe I am going to do this.’ “commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese” the pony deadpanned. Big mac just stared at the pony, confused. “What?” “Just call me Commodore Crazy,” he replied. “Okay then, Commodore Crazy, why are you on my family's field?” “To be perfectly honest, I have no idea.” “Well since you were trespassing, you are going to have to come with-” Before the red stallion could finish his sentence, Commodore made a run for it down the hill towards the city. Big Mac soon gave chase. ‘No wonder his name is Crazy,’he thought. ‘Running, Running, Running, Running!’ Commodore Crazy yelled in his head. He turned his head around and saw the red stallion was gaining on him. ‘Come on legs, get a move on!’ ***************************************************************************************** Fillydelphia was unaware of the chase that was about to enter their city, because they were having a chase of their own. A couple minutes ago, a grey-coated pony was caught inside a jewelry store. When it was closed. Needless to say, there was no room for discussion. The pony is now hidden behind a dumpster in a dark alley. ‘Why the hell am I being chased? I didn’t steal anything! Wait... The question I should be asking is why am I in Equestria? All I remember was me logging into RDN and then poof! I am in a jewelry store and now I am running from the local police.’ One of the bystanders must have noticed the pony in the alley and informed the police because officers from both sides of the alley surrounded him. The pony noticed a ladder nearby and jumped to reach it, but one of the officers tackled him mid-air and slammed him to the ground. The rest of the squad fell upon them, completely pinning him. ‘Ugh... This could not get any worse.’ ***************************************************************************************** Commodore Crazy was finally able to get to the border of the city. He tried to ignore the fact that there were more ponies than he could count. Big Mac was slowing down, but not by much. Crazy decided to run as fast he could and hide in one of the shops. Until he ran into the local police. “Wait, there's another one!” yelled one officer. “Another? Let’s get him!” said another. The officers began to give chase. ‘First Big Mac now the police. I haven’t been here for 30 minutes and I am already being chased by the police. Wait did they say “another one”?’ Before he could finish his thought a third officer tackled him from the side, hard. ‘Ow....’ His last thought before everything faded to black. EVERFREE FOREST Even though the Everfree Forest isn’t controlled by magic, it is still lovely place to be in. Yes, at night, it isn’t very warm and welcoming to be in, but during the day, it was nice enough, you could lay down and just soak up the sun. Except one pony in particular just wanted to get out. The white unicorn walked the semi-paved path of the forest. ‘Ugh, why did I get transported to here, of all places?’ they asked to themselves. The pony was disoriented after falling into the forest, ‘I mean, come on! Everfree! Please tell me I am near Ponyville.’ The pony continued down the path and noticed the village nearby. ‘Well, that was convenient.’ PONYVILLE It was indeed a calm day in Ponyville. The town was prepping for a visit from Princess Luna again, but this time with a better reception than the one from Nightmare Night. This will be the second visit the princess will have made to the town. Fluttershy was in her cottage, along with Spike. She was rehearsing with the birds for the song that will be singing when the princess arrives. Spike, on the other hand was cleaning up the cottage since it was to be where the princess would spend the night. Spike was in the middle of setting up the room that Luna would be spending the night in when he met his unexpected visitor. Spike was fixing the bed until he turned his head and faced the unfamiliar pegasus. His eyes went wide the moment he saw it. “Fluttershy, what happened to your hair? And your mane and tail? Where did you get that bow?”, he asked the pegasus. “Fluttershy” gave a low squeak as an answer. Then “she” fainted. “Fluttershy? FLUTTERSHY?!” yelled Spike. “What is it Spike?”, asked Fluttershy, who paused her rehearsal and came to Spike’s aid. She looked at him with a concerned look until she saw the pegasus on the ground in front of her. “Who is that, Spike?” she asked. “I don’t know. Do you have any long-lost twin sisters running around?” EARTH ‘Ohhhhhhhh, crap. This is going to be the biggest screw up I ever done’ thought the man. A new post came up on the computer screen. “Hey, where did everypony go?” the post said. ‘I wish I could tell you.’
Introductions II: Metting The CrowdRAINBOW DASH NETWORK IN EQUESTRIA BY DOATES CHAPTER TWO ***** FILLYDELPHIA The two ponies were placed into a cell in the station. waiting for the questioning. Commodore Crazy was arrested for trespassing and for allegedly assisting the grey pony in the break-in of the jewelry store. The grey pony was accused of breaking-in the jewelry store and attempting to steal its contents. The cell had other inhabitants, some bony, some big-build. Some you could tell were there for a while from their facial expressions. The silver pony went immediately to a far corner that wasn’t occupied and sat there. He was sweating and eyes were scanning the room back and forth, hoping that none of the other “prisoners” would come near him. When Commodore came in, he was nervous, like the silver one, but not as nervous. Crazy decided to sit a couple feet away from the entrance so he could get out of the cell as quickly as possible. He thought of waiting for the next person to be thrown into the cell and making a break for it, but he was in a police station and he had more chances in breaking into Fort Knox. “Commodore Crazy. You’re up.” announced the officer. The officer was a unicorn mare with a handcuff cutie mark. Crazy grumbled and moved forward. ‘Thank goodness the wait didn’t last that long. Feel bad for the silver one, though.’ ***************************************************************************************** “Please state your name for the record.” said the unicorn, staring down at a notepad while she was writing down her questions and his future answers. “um, commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese” Commodor Crazy replied. The unicorn stopped writing, but continued to stare down at the notepad. “Commodore Crazy, for short.” “You were in the military?” the officer asked. “No.” “Then why are you called Commodore?” “I decided to call myself that.” “Then, what is your real name?” The officer was starting show hints of frustration towards just to figure out who the pony sitting across from her. “Just call me Crazy and can we move on please?” answered Commodore, annoyed as well for the conversation that was going on. “Sure. Now, why were you on the Apple Family grounds? And why did you run from Mr. Macintosh?” There was a long pause. ‘I have no idea why I was on the Apple Family grounds. In fact, I have no idea how I even wound up on Equestria.’ “Well?!” the mare asked. ‘Oh sweet Celestia, this colt over here is starting to become a pain in my-’ “I don’t know why I was in the Apple Family grounds.” the stallion answered, interrupting the officers thoughts. “So you just walked into private property for no reason at all?” “No. I don’t even know why I was there.” “Suuuuuuure... Fine, if you want to put it that way, then we will talk later” ***************************************************************************************** Commodore was brought back to the cell along with his frustrated officer. It wasn’t his fault that she got confused about his name. Heck, he even gave her the short version of it and she still made an issue about it. No wonder the conversation ended early. He was inadvertently annoying and frustrating her to her breaking point. ‘Eh could be worse.’ Commodore thought. The pony walked into the cell and went and sat where he was before the officer took him for questioning. The silver pony that came with him was still there, and in the same position, but was more nervous and stressed than before. The officer pointed at him and ordered “ You. The grey one. Come with me”. The grey pony was infact a pegasus and he looked down as he walked out the cell. ***************************************************************************************** The grey pegasus walked into the stone room and sat down, not saying a word. The officer walked in and sat opposite from him. “Okay, for starters, since we haven’t seen you before, what is your name?” asked the officer. “Silver Brony.” the pegasus answered with a low tone. “Glad to get that out of the way.” mumbled the officer. “So, would you care to explain how you got into the jewelry store without opening any doors and windows? Also, would you also please explain what you were planning on stealing?” Silver Brony took a deep breath before he answered. “All I remember is that I was in my room and then all the sudden I was in the jewelry store you are talking about. I was never planning to steal anything.” “And can anypony confirm that you were in your room before you were caught within the jewelry store in question?” “Yes. My friends were in the other room.” “And, where do you live?” The pegasus stopped talking when the question came up. The officer sat there staring at the pegasus, waiting for the answer. A minute and a half went by when the silence was broken. “I said, where do you live?” the officer repeated. Silver Brony began stare at anything but her. ‘oh, Celestia, not this again.’ “Fine, if you want to pull the whole silent treatment, then okay, enjoy your stay.” the officer opened the door and the pegasus walked out, returning to the cell. ***************************************************************************************** Silver brony returned to his spot in the cell. The officer came into the cell with him and looked at both Commodore Crazy and Silver Brony. “You two have to be the hardest cases I ever met. Better rethink how you are going to speak and behave, because it’s only a matter of time before you are going to out of our hands. “Mister Brony, you will be awaiting a representative of the Royal Guard to pick you up. Breaking in a jewelry store is yes, a federal crime, but the one you were in and the area you were in, makes it worse for you. “And you-” “Wait, your name is Brony?” Crazy interrupted. “Yeah, why?” asked Silver Brony. “Hm, oh, nothing.” ‘Oooookay’ though the officer. “Anyway, Commodore Crazy, if that is your real na-” “YOUR NAME IS COMMODORE CRAZY?!” yelled Silver Brony. Commodore gave a shocked look in return of the question given to him. “Ye-Yes.” he answered. “I’m Silver Brony.” Silver introduced himself. Crazy’s eyes turned from nervous to awe. “Silver. Brony.” “Yeah.” “Okay, okay, okay. Woah. Do you two know each other?” asked the officer, still trying to comprehend what is going on infront of her eyes. “Pretty much.” answered Crazy. “We go on the same website.” Silver Brony continued. “Wait, website? What is a ‘website’?” asked the officer. “Excuse me, what is your name?” asked Brony. “Ah, Officer Alipoe.” she answered. “Officer Alipoe, how on Earth can’t you know about a website?” “Possibly, I just don’t know about it. I am not exactly an “In-The-know” kind of pony. So what ‘website’ do you go on?” “RDN” both answered. “RDN?” Alipoe asked. “Rainbow Dash Network.” “There is a ‘website’ based on the mare that won the Best Fliers Competition?” “Sort of, yeah.” Commodore answered. “Hey, Alipoe, there is someone here to speak to your new guests.” yelled a nearby officer. “Whoooohomystars!” “Good afternoon, officer. Could I, by any chance, borrow your new friends for a while. You see, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are asking for an audience with them.” The entire cell was quietly staring at the new guest. Commodore Crazy and Silver Brony were the verge of fainting. “Oh, there you are. Sorry for the rudeness, let me introduce myself. My name is Shining Armor, captain of the Royal Guard. And you are?” Two hours and a half earlier.... CANTERLOT Celestia and Twilight stared at the grey dragon in front of them and the dragon did the same to them. The dragon, from its size, was possibly in its teens. ‘It’s the same size as Spike’s first growth spurt, before he got bigger and eventually a fifty foot tall dragon’ Twilight observed. The stare possibly lasted for a few minutes before the dragon noticed the fly-swatter floating and then stared at Celestia and then Twilight. His eyes went wider than before. ‘Of all the alternate versions of MLP, I just had to wind up in of the more disturbing.’ the dragon thought. He began to look around his surroundings looking for something and saw a stool within arms reach and looked out the window. ‘Hope this doesn’t hurt that much...’ “Dragon, please identify you-” Princess Celestia began, but was interrupted by the scene that was transpiring in front of her. The dragon grabbed the stool and threw it at the window, which shattered. It then ran towards the opening and grabbed the curtains and used them a makeshift rope as he jumped out the window. Unfortunately, for the dragon, the curtain snapped and he fell down to ground, with no way to brake. He desperately reached for a pole that was coming near him and held on for dear life. After a quick second, he let go and continued his plummet. He landed on a patio and then jumped down to the ground from a safe distance. ‘Well that could have been worse.’ the dragon thought. He grinned and stared up at the window he jumped out of. It was a good 30 feet up. ‘Much worse.’ He was about to jog his way out, until midway through his sprint he noticed the two, grey coated pegasi, in royal guard armor facing him. ‘Well, at least I didn’t end up in a Molestia fic. Or at least, I don’t think I did...’ ***************************************************************************************** Celestia and Twilight stood still and stared at the shattered window before them. Twilight slowly walked towards the window and looked out. She saw the dragon running from the royal guards, whom were chasing after it. “Twilight, what just happened?” the princess asked, who was just trying to put together what just transpired. “I think a teenage dragon got inside the castle, came in here, saw us and tried to make a break for it.” answered the student. “I’ll send a message to the royal guard for them to capture, but not hurt the dragon. Poor thing must be scared out of it’s mind.” ***************************************************************************************** ‘Dear Luna, how many guards are there in this place?!’ The number of guards chasing him skyrocketed after a few minutes while he was being chased by the two guards he landed next to. ‘Guess Celestia sent out an order about me. Just lovely.’ The dragon decided to run towards an alley to avoid more guards. ‘Have to figure out how to get out of this place. I could try the sewer system, but guards might be already be down there. Uuugh. Why is this happening to me, of all people?’ “There he is!” yelled one guard. “Surround and corner him!” yelled another. ‘Well this is just great.’ thought the dragon. Two guards on both sides blocked the ways out of the alley. ‘Why couldn’t I have wings?!’ The guards began to move forward, trying to box in the dragon. Then a miracle, you might say, occured. Though you’d think it would be painful, the dragon only felt a tingle on his back. When he turned his head, he was wings growing out of his back. Both him and the guards were staring in awe what was transpiring. The dragon also noticed that his hands and feet were transforming into hooves. As in horse hooves. ‘What. The. Heck. Is. Happening?’ the dragon thought. ‘I’m becoming a dragon pony hybrid!’ The hybrid fell forward so he could maintain balance. He began to flap his wings testing them out and to get a feel for them. ‘This is both weird and cool at the same time. Might as well test these things.’ he thought. The guards came out of their trance and galloped in to prevent him from flying away, when he did just that. At first, he wobbled mid-air trying to maintain balance and keep his axis straight. He eventually leveled and managed to start flying straight. Pegasus guards gave chase, but the hybrid was too far ahead. “So, long suckers!” yelled the hybrid. Little did he know, he was flying right into a pink-colored transparent wall. Just before he flew into it, he turned his head and faced the wall. “Now that’s just plain not fair.” he said before he hit the wall, losing consciousness. ***************************************************************************************** “HE DID WHAT!?!?” Princess Celestia yelled. “Sister, please watch your tone.” Her sister, Princess Luna, requested. “I’m sorry, Luna.” apologized Celestia. She turned back to the guard, “Why did he think it would be wise to use a protection spell on the poor thing? He could have died!” The guard tried to remain professional in terms of stance, but his eyes were those of fright. “He said that you ordered for the dragon, erm, hybrid to be captured. Since it-” “Wait. Hybrid?” Luna asked, cocking an eyebrow. “Yes, your highness. When some of the guards cornered it in an alley, it grew wings and its limbs became hooves.” Luna turned her head facing Celestia, whom was still looking at the guard with a stern look. “Have you at least tried to find the creature?” Celestia asked. “Yes, your highness. Though it was speaking in rambles while it was unconscious.” “What ramblings?” “Something about RDN, a room and teleportation.” “Thank you, that will be all. You can go outside now” “Yes, your highness.” The guard left the throne room and went outside to his assigned position for the day. “Luna, I wish for you assign Shining Armor to watch over the ‘hybrid’. I will return to the library to learn what this ‘RDN’ is.” Celestia stated. “Yes, my sister.” ***************************************************************************************** “ugh” the hybrid moaned, having finally woken up from the hit to the head. His head was throbbing with pain. He began to notice that he was laying in a bed, tucked in no less. He also observed his room. It looked standard, a window to the his left, the exit was to his far right and the bathroom was in front of him to the left. That’s when he noticed his guest. it was a white coated unicorn with purple armor and a golden lining. His mane and tail was a dark blue with a sky blue stripe going down the middle. That and the armor gave away the identity of the unicorn. ‘SHINING ARMOR! I AM IN THE SAME ROOM WITH SHINING ARMOR!’ the dragon thought in his head. “Oh, good you’re awake. My name is-” Shining Armor began. “Shining Armor.” the dragon interrupted. “Pardon?” “Shining Armor, captain of the royal guard.” the dragon continued. “So you know my name, but what is yours? And what is ‘RDN’?” ‘If he is asking about RDN, might as well use my username’ the dragon contemplated. “My name is Grey Dragon.” “Kind of obvious.” Shining Armor remarked. “Well, the full name is greydragon412, but I thought it would be better with just Grey Dragon.” “Sounds logical” “Quite.” “Well, moving on, what is this ‘RDN’?” Shining Armor asked again. “You’re sure you want to know?” asked Grey. “Yes, so tell me.” ordered Armor. “RDN stands for Rainbow Dash Network. It is a micro-blogging site for the brony community so they can socialize and interact with other bronies around the world.” Grey deadpanned. “What is a micro-blogging site?” “A smaller version of a social network. RDN is based on the more popular Twitter.” “Okay. What is a brony?” Grey Dragon paused for a second, trying to figure out how to answer this question. He breathed deeply and continued. “A brony is a fan of the ‘My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic’ television show.” “I hardly doubt that is all. What is this ‘My Little Pony’?” “I’m afraid that I can’t answer that.” Dragon answered. “And why not?” Armor persisted. “Because that is not important. I think trying to figure out how I got here is more important.” Dragon said. “You’re a spunky one, aren’t you.” “And some say that I am nuts.” Dragon retorted. “I wonder why?” Armor mumbled. ‘Though I may be calm, I am possibly literally soiling myself.’ Grey thought to himself. ***************************************************************************************** “Sister?” Luna asked as she came into the library. “Yes, Luna? Has the ‘hybrid’ awakened?” asked Celestia. “Yes and Shining Armor is questioning it.” Luna answered. “So it can talk. Interesting...” Celestia said. She began to try to piece together the whole transformation of the dragon. The fact it could talk, which didn’t surprise her, but the fact it transformed still dumbfounded her. “But there is something else?” Luna continued. “What?” “At the same time when you saw the ‘dragon-hybrid’, a grey pegasus was found within a jewelry store.” “So, leave that with the federal investigators.” “The odd thing is, the pegasus insists that it never broke in, but it just appeared in the store.” Luna continued. “Is there a possibility that they might be lying.” Celestia responded. “At first yes, but there is more. Just a mile and half away, an Earth pony appeared in the Apple Family grounds. They had the same story as the pegasus.” “And this happened-” Celestia began “At the same time the dragon was found.” Luna finished. “Sister, I have heard of coincidences before, but this looks more like a pattern.” “I agree. I want this to be contained. We have no idea what is going on right now, and don’t know what kind of things are going to happen. Where did all this happen?” “Fillydelphia.” Luna answered. “Send Shining Armor there. Only us three can know about this.” Celestia ordered. Before Luna could leave, a scroll appeared before them. “Who is it from?” Luna asked. “Spike.” Celestia answered as she read the letter. “Well, there are more ‘appearances’ occurring around the country. Luna, once you are done sending Shining Armor, I wish for you to go to Ponyville, specifically Fluttershy’s cottage.” “What in Mother’s name is going on?” Luna asked. “I have no idea, sister.” Celestia answered. PONYVILLE (SUGARCUBE CORNER) The green maned unicorn was standing in front of Sugarcube Corner. ‘If I am going to get out of here, I might as well get meeting Pinkie Pie over with.’ The unicorn walked in and saw the pony he was looking for. “Hey, My name is Mi-” the unicorn started, as he walked to Pinkie Pie, but didn’t finish. The moment she saw the him, Pinkie jumped up, gasped and zipped out the door. “You must be new here. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have done that.” remarked Mr. Cake. “Yeah, I am new here. Anyway, how long do I have to wait before I could talk to her?” the unicorn asked. “You might have to wait until the end of the day. It usually takes her a bit to arrange the party and get everypony invited.” Mr. Cake answered. “So what is your name?” “Minti.” “Interesting name.” “I’m an interesting pony.” PONYVILLE (FUTTERSHY’S COTTAGE) “Alright, the letter has been sent. Now what?” Spike asked. “I don’t know. I mean, I never met anypony that looked so much like me.” Fluttershy answered. “Well, hopefully the princess could help sort this all out.” A loud noise came from the front of the cottage, scaring the living daylights out of Fluttershy. Of course it was Pinkie Pie. “Fluttershy,anewponyarrivedatthesugarcubecornerandIwaslike‘gasp’andranofftogetaparttogetherandstuff-”Pinkie Pie rambled. She turned her head and saw the Fluttershy look-alike. Her eyes widen with glee. “TWO NEW PONIES!THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST PARTY EVER!” yelled Pinkie Pie. Before the pink pony could finish, Spike slapped his hand on her mouth. “Pinkie, please? You scared Fluttershy half to death.” informed Spike. Fluttershy, meanwhile was curled up in a ball quivering. “Oh.” Pinkie Pie realized. “I’m sorry Fluttershy. You know that I get excited when I meet new ponies. Do you want me to leave?” “No, no. Please, it wasn’t your fault. You just startled me, that’s all. Have you seen Twilight lately?” Fluttershy asked. “Nope. I heard she was going to Canterlot to spend time in some seminar or something like that.” Pinkie answered. While the two mares were conversing, the visitor finally regained consciousness. Spike was the first one to notice. “Woah, you okay there?” He asked. The pegasus possibly either didn’t hear him, or they were more focused getting up. Pinkie Pie soon helped them get up. “So if you don’t mind me asking, who are you?” she asked. ***************************************************************************************** After a bit of asking the public, Minti learned that Pinkie Pie rushed towards Fluttershy’s cottage. ‘Knowing Fluttershy, I think i should take it easy with the new.’ he thought. He was coming up the hill in front of the mini-bridge over the creek that led to the cottage, when something landed right next to him. “If you have any appointment with Ms. Fluttershy, I suggest that you reschedule for a later date.” the figure said. It was a voice of a female, but slightly formal. Minti turned to face the figure and looked face to face with Princess Luna. ‘Well that skips the whole scheduling to meet with the Princesses.’ he remarked, who was still staring at Luna. “Could we help you?” she asked. “PRINCESS LUNA!” The loud child-like voice started both Minti and Luna out of their stare. They both turned to face the bouncing pink pony coming their way. “I didn’t know you were coming! First two new ponies come and the-” “Ms. Pie-”Luna began. “Call me Pinkie” the earth pony interrupted. There was a long pause. “Pinkie, Did you saw two new ponies?” Luna asked. “Yeah-huh!” “And where are they, if you don’t mind me asking.” “Coarse I don’t mind. One is right next to you, and another is in the cottage!” Pinkie explained. Immediately after her answer, Princess Luna turned and faced the unicorn next to her. ‘Well this is awkward.’ he thought. ***************************************************************************************** “So, um,...What was your name again?” asked Fluttershy. “Derpyshy.” replied the look-alike. “And you are from?” the yellow pegasus asked. “Earth.” the green pegasus replied. “Is that near here?” “Don’t think so.” “How did you get into my cottage?” “I have no idea. Possibly Cerulean’s fault.” “Who?” “Nothing.” “You look like me, but you sound like a stallion.” Fluttershy remarked. “Yeah. We might want to talk about that later.” Derpyshy replied. “Fluttershy, Princess Luna is here. Pinkie Pie went out to meet her”, Spike informed from another room. He was in the kitchen, while the two were in the living room of the cottage. The two looked out the window and saw the night princess conversing with Pinkie Pie, but a white unicorn was with them. It took Derpyshy a bit to figure out who it was. “Hold on, I’ll be right back.” he said. “Wait, where are you going?” Fluttershy asked. Derpyshy didn’t answer as they were already out the door. “This isn’t going to end well.” ***************************************************************************************** “What is your name, unicorn.” the princess asked. “Minti Breeze” Minti answered. “How long have you been here?” “Um, a couple minutes.” “Do you know what an ‘RDN’ is?” Luna asked. ‘Might as well be honest... “Yep,” Breeze answered. “Do you?” Luna asked again. “Yeah. Why do you ask?” “Do you know a person related to RDN that goes by the name Grey Dragon?” she asked. “HE’S HERE TOO!” Minti yelled. Before Luna could respond to Minti’s response, a green pegasus that looks a lot like Fluttershy galloped up next to Pinkie Pie, who was just watching the show. “Pardon me, but is your name by any chance be Josh?” he asked Minti gave an annoyed look at Derpyshy. “Why do people say that?! Just call me Minti!” “Yep, you’re Minti. So how did you get here?” Derpyshy asked. “Wait, you’re Derpyshy?” Minti asked. “Yeah.” “Now this is just weird.” Luna had nothing to say. She staring in shock while the two were interacting. ‘How many of them are there? At first it was just two, now it looks like there might be more of them. And where are they coming from? I hope we figure out what this RDN is, and soon.’ Pinkie Pie on the other hand was thinking the exact opposite. She was in glee that there will be more new ponies to greet. She couldn’t wait to welcome this Grey Dragon, whoever he is. CLOUDSDALE “So what do we do?” asked Spitfire. The four Wonderbolts that were in the spa looked down at the the wet pegasus that fainted right before their eyes. “I think the question is how the hay did he get in here?” Fleetfloot remarked. The others agreed. They were relaxing and the next thing they knew, a peachish pegasus falls from the ceiling and startles Spitfire from her relaxation within the pool. “I’ll go talk to the employees, to see they recognize them.” Soarin’ stated before going out the door. “Hey, I think the klutz is waking up.” informed Blaze. The pegasus slowly woke up, still drowsy from the dive in the water, he slowly got up, legs wobbling. ‘Woah what happened?’ he thought. They eventually returned to reality, well, the reality that he had fallen into and noticed the Wonderbolts huddling around them. “Woah dude, don’t faint on us again, please?” Spitfire requested. The male pegasus took some deep breaths trying to stay calm and preventing himself from fainting again, cause if he did, he would fall into the water again. ‘I’m in Equestria. Fantastic. The first ponies I meet are The Wonderbolts. Have to say, that’s a first in my book.’ the pegasus remarked as he analyzed their surroundings and the other pegasi. “So what is your name?” asked Blaze. ‘Maybe I should tell them my Earth name. Nah, that will be bland. OH! How about my OC name! Um.. Eagle Hooves.” he responded. “Great. Now, how did you get in here?” Fleetfoot asked. “To be perfectly honest, you wouldn’t believe me.” “Try us.” “Okay. I am from an alternate reality where my world is called Earth.” The three Wonderbolts stared at Eagle Hooves in disbelief. “Yep, you’re still drowsy from your little dive.” Spitfire remarked. After that the doors opened up, with Soarin’ and some of the employees of the spa. They were in mid-discussion when the employees saw what Soarin’ was talking about. ‘Oh, man. I land in Equestria and meet the Wonderbolts and now I think I might be in trouble.’ the pegasus thought to himself. “Excuse, me sir?” asked one if the employees. “Could you please tell us how you got in here?” “I honestly don’t know how. All I remember is that I was on my computer and, poof!. Here I am here right now.” Eagle Hooves answered. “What is a computer?” asked the other employee. “It’s something that we, humans use to create documents, presentations and interact with one another.” “Human?” Spitfire asked. “What’s a human?” “A bipedal organism.” “Pretty much a diamond dog.” translated Blaze. “Exactly.” Hooves replied. “Wait, you know what a diamond dog is?” Soarin’ asked. The employees stood there confused on whether to walk away or stay where they are. “Yeah.” Eagle replied ‘Have to tread lightly on this next bit.’ “If you are from an ‘alternate reality’, then how do you know about diamond dogs?” asked Fleefloot. ‘Busted’. ‘Here we go...In my reality, you are all characters in a television show. Just pictures that play that everyone across the globe is watching, but dubbed in the provinces language or tongue.” The Wonderbolts called it a quits when it came to questioning the pegasus. “If you are from an alternate reality, then I believe that the only logical decision is to get you back there.” Soarin’ stated. “And the only pony that could be able to do that is possibly Princess Celestia.” ‘I get to meet Celestia. Hopefully the version that isn’t a tyrant nor a molesting maniac.’ HOOFINGTON “Everypony understand the plan?” asked the pegasus. The others nodded their heads. “Alright. In four days time, the train would leave the station at 12:19 pm. I expect all of you to be at your appropriate stations and don’t be late.” The others once again nodded their heads. Behind the pegasus sat an unicron bound and gagged to a chair. The pony was trying to break free from his restraints. “Mr. Conventrix, please cease trying to break free. You should be proud in fact. You are about to make history.” smirked the pegasus.
Introductions III: Canterlot Meet-UpRainbow Dash Network In Equestria Doates The noble was quietly sitting in his carriage having no care for the world outside. And why should he? Nopony would try to get past the royal guards pulling his carriage and try to steal the package he was transporting. All that needs to be done is to get the package to Manehatten and give it to the next pony for the following leg. Orders were specifically given not to open the package. ‘Kind of blandish order, if you ask me’ thought the noble when he was given the order. ‘Already an easy task to begin with. Like i care for what’s in the package.’ He was in the carriage for about a hour and a half. Most of which he spent either in his thoughts or resting. He occasionally tried to talk to the royal guards, but as predicted they stayed silent. ‘Wonder what their lives are like outside of their jobs.’ the noble thought to himself. In the middle of the thought a sudden jerk behind the carriage pushed the noble forward into the wall in front of him. He opened the window that allowed him to talk to the guards pulling the carriage. “WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?” He yelled. Before they could answer, two ropes suddenly hooked on both sides of the the front of the carriage and before the noble knew it, he was airborne, rising up from the ground. The carriage swayed as is it rose in the air. Eventually the ropes on the front released and the noble smacked into the window so hard, he went through it. Holding on for dear life to the handles outside, the noble slowly pulled himself back into the carriage. When he did, he noticed a dark grey pegasus with a sky blue mohawk holding the package that the noble sworn to protect. But the pegasus wasn’t alone. A black cloaked figure stood the the right of the noble. The figure was on four legs, but had the build and size of a diamond dog. “We’ll be taking this from you.” announced the figure. “What are you?” the noble asked. “Reckoning.” the figure answered. And just like that the grey pegasus exited the way he came and the figure followed. The noble stood there in awe of what just transpired in front of him. Eventually he lost sense of gravity, as if he was light as a feather. The noble looked out the shattered window and saw the ground closing in fast.... (Click for theme) CHAPTER THREE CANTERLOT The castle was emptied for two reasons. One was the cover-up reason. To the cooks, maids, butlers, guards, the reason for the castle to vacated was that the royal sisters believed that they deserve time off for a bit, as thanks for their hard work. The second, in fact the real reason, is that Shining Armor and the princesses were planning on meeting the rest of the RDN ponies (or RDNonies) and figure out how they came into their world. Grey Dragon was able to get out his bed and began to wonder around the castle. Without anyone, or anypony (whatever floats your boat) knowing about it, no less. ‘Man, I know castles are huge, but this one is enormous.’ the part dragon-part pony observed. He stood in the middle of one of the corridors that led to only a few of the countless rooms and passages within the castle. “Don’t want to wander too far, otherwise, I would get lost in this place.” Dragon thought to himself. “Great another dead end. Guess I am running out of places to explore.” Before he could go on, he noticed a yellowish pegasus holding a brown unicorn walk out of one of the rooms in front of him. With the two, was an orange pony with a cowboy hat. “There! We’re finally here. Now, if you excuse me, I have a town to return to to.” said the cowboy-hat pony. It was clear that the trip here wasn’t pleasant at all. The two other ponies looked around the area they were standing, in awe of the beauty of the castle. “Ah, you’re here.” a voice behind Grey Dragon said. He turned his head and saw Shining Armor, the origin of the voice. “I’m guessing you got tired of the room you were in.” Shining Armor continued. “Anyway, we found more ponies like you.” “What, half pony, half dragon?” Grey Dragon asked. “Nonononono. We found more ponies that are from this ‘alternate reality’ you speak of. Not to mention they know what this ‘RDN’ is.” “WAIT! There others?!” yelled the yellowish pegasus. Both Grey Dragon and Shining Armor turned to face the two other ponies in the room. “Don’t think it is wise to yell.” mentioned the brown unicorn. “That’s the reason why you placed Braeburn in a sour mood.” “You expect someone who just been teleported to an alternate reality that is in the form of a popular show to act calm?” the pegasus retorted. “Seriously, Elo?” “Wait, you’re Elo?” asked Grey towards the unicorn. “Yes.” the unicorn answered. “I’m greydragon412.” “You got teleported here too?” the pegasus asked. “Yeah. And you are?” “Axel Gunn.” ‘Great. There’s more of them.’ Shining Armor thought to himself. “Well, since you two are part of this ‘RDN’, might as well come with me. And you too Grey Dragon.” “You met Shining Armor?” Gunn mouthed to Grey Dragon. “Yeah.” Grey Dragon mouthed back. The three newcomers came to a large door, which Shining Armor opened with his magic and inside was a large round table and two other ponies inside. One was a medium build, green coated earth pony, who was staring and awe of the detail and beauty of his surroundings. The other was doing the same, who was grey pegasus. “We are in Canterlot Castle.” the pegasus mumbled to himself. “No one at home are going beleive this.” “You can get yourselves introduced. I am going to inform the princesses that you have arrived. And let them know that there are five RDN ponie now.” Shining Armor then left the room, closing the door. The earth pony and the pegasus were oblivious to the others in the room, until Axel interrupted them. “So, what is your name?” he asked. “Silver Brony.” the pegasus answered. “Commodore Crazy.” the earth pony replied. “Lets compare stories. There must be some connectiont aht caused all of us to be teleported here into Equestria.” Elo stated. “Before we do that, I need to put this out. I have told Shining Armor what RDN stands for, what it is and what it is based on. That’s where it gets touchy. They know that it is based on My Little Pony, but I haven’t told them what it is. I also accidentally stated Shining Armors name before he introduced himself. Now that I am thinking about it, Shining Armor might put two and two together and some ego’s might burst.” “Why would we burst ego’s? So what. Granted, Twilight might go psycho about it, but that is the worst case scenario.” Elo said. “Plus, we aren’t going to go off and yell the top of our lungs ‘We are from a parallel universe!’. That’ll be stupid.” “Let’s just state that the public did learn that we are from an alternate reality, I am sure the scientific thinkers in this world are familiar to the concept of the multiverse.” Silver Brony stated. “So pretty much, we are essentially the first people, from our universe, to discover that traveling to other universes is possible and the fact that the multiverse exists.” Grey Dragon said. “Wait a minute. The universe is big. Really, really big. Could it be possible that we are in our own universe, just that we are in another part of it?” Commodore Crazy asked. After this question was asked, there was a long pause. “Let’s save this conversation for later. So how did we get here?” Axel Gunn asked. “I was on RDN when I got here.” “Same here.” Grey Dragon said. “Me three.” Silver Brony continued. “So we were all on RDN before we got here?” asked Elo. The group nodded. “So, where were you teleported?” asked Grey Dragon. “I was transported, here, in Canterlot.” “Fillydelphia.” Silver Brony and Commodore Crazy said in unison. “Appleoosa.” Axel Gunn answered. “Hoofington.” Elo continued. “Did any of you meet any main and/or side characters when you got here?” asked Axel Gunn. “I met Celestia, Twilight, and Shining Armor.” answered Grey Dragon. the others stared at him, with jealousy in their eyes. “And to get this out of the way, no. This version of Celestia isn’t a troll nor a tyrant.” The others continued to stare at him. “She isn’t Molestia, okay. We’re safe.” “Anyway, me and Axel Gunn met Braeburn. We, sadly, caught him in an off day.” Elo said. “What happened?” asked Commodore Crazy. “Three banks were robbed clean out and then blown up. By the same group in one week.” Axel Gunn answered. “I saw one of the banks and it was like it wasn’t there.” “Damn. Was everyone okay?” asked Silver Brony. “I decided not to pry. He decided to drop me off at Canterlot, since I am from an alternate reality, he thought it would be wise to notify the princesses. That’s when we met Elo.” Axel Gunn continued. “I didn’t have the smarts of not constantly asking Braeburn questions about anything that is Equestria.” Elo said. ***************************************************************************************** “Will his family be notified?” “Yes sir.” Shining Armor rubbed off the sweat on his forehead. Immediately after leaving the RDN ponies, we gets bombarded with the news of a nobles carriage falling from the sky. The noble didn’t survive the fall. Further investigation revealed that he was transporting an important item, whihc wasn’t found in the wreckage. “Go. Find his family.” he ordered. The guard saluted and left. ‘First the robbery and bombings in in Appleoosa, then these RDN ponies show up and now a convoy was just attacked taking the life of a well liked noble.’ the captain sighed. ‘Where are the princesses?” ***************************************************************************************** “THIS IS AWESOME!” yelled Minti, as the wind goes against his face. “Awesome?! This is freakin’ terrifying.” yelled back Derpyshy. The two ponies were riding a make-shift carriage as the moon princess pulls it, moving at their fastest speed. Minti was having a blast, but Derpyshy on the other hand, was holding on for dear life. Luna rolled her eyes as the two newcomers act like fillies. ‘With the dragon-hybrid in Canterlot, the two in Fillydelphia and now two from ponyville, hopefully this will be all the RDN ponies that are here.’ the princess thought to herself. Luna looked back towards the to two behind her. She slightly smirked as Minti tried to get Derpyshy up. The three arrived in the royal garden. She landed gracefully, but the carriage didn’t. “ow.” said one of the two. The guards stayed in their positions, still with stern looks on their faces. “Please help them up.” Luna ordered. The guards nodded and jogged over to the two and assisted them getting up. Minti and and Derpyshy stumbled, but maintained balance as they got up. ‘:sigh:, May mother help them when they meet Cadance.’ Luna thought, while she was making a small smile. “Please follow me. There is somewhere that you need to be right now.” she said and walked into the castle. She heard the duo follow her, so she didn’t need to look back. She moved slightly slower than her normal walking speed, in order to keep the RDN ponies on the right track and not get lost. They finally reached the room where the RDN ponies will be staying until Luna and her sister figure out what caused them to come into our world. She opened the door and saw something she didn’t expect. She would have thought, since all the ponies appearing are part of this RDN and the fact they might not know that there are other in a similar situation, they would be conversing trying figure out each others story. Instead, they were under piles of books, but not ruining them. Reading them. They were also taking notes, until one noticed her. “Hey, it’s Princess Luna!” yelled out a green earth pony. Immediately after that, a book was thrown at them. “Lower your voice, Captain Canterlock.” said the dragon-pony hybrid. “How many of you are there?” asked Luna, still in shock. “Well so far, five.” answered a grey pegasus. “Um, Princess Luna, could you please move.” a voice behind her asked. Luna got out of her daze and turned back to tthe two ponies behind her. “Oh. Sorry. Please make yourself comfortable, if you could.” “There’s more!” yelled the brown unicorn. “Quiet down.” said the yellow-ish pegasus. “Well, I’m Minti and this is Derpyshy.” Minti said, pointing at the Fluttershy look-a-like. “Elo.” the brown unicorn said. “Silver Brony.” the grey pegasus deadpanned, mainly focussing on the book in front of him. “Commodore Crazy” the green earth pony introduced. “Grey Dragon, but I decided to change it to Grey Scale.” the pony-dragon hybrid said. “Axel Gunn.” said the yellow-ish pegasus. “So there is seven of you now. I’ll go get my sister and we can begin this meeting.” Luna addressed before leaving. “So the gang’s all here.” Grey Scale said. The seven ponies looked at each other. “So what happened here?” asked Derpyshy. “Oh, we got bored, so we decided to read some of the books here. Also, it really sucks to be your right now.” Axel Gunn answered. “Yeah, planning on getting a hair cut so I don’t have too look like this. And from what it looks like, we were all transformed into our OC’s” “We already compared stories, and we came to the conclusion that all of us was on RDN before we were transported here.” Before any could finish two pegasi walked in covering up a peach coated Pegasus, trying to conceal him from the others. The two pegasi were wearing goggles and blue uniforms with lightning streaks going down. It took half a second to recognize them. “Now we’re meeting the Wonderbolts. Well, isn’t this dandy.” Exclaimed Silver Brony. “um, sorry. We didn’t know this room was occupied.” Said one of the Wonderbolts, which had a familiar female voice. “Your Spitfire, aren’t you? And the other is Soarin’, correct?” asked Minti. “Yeah. So?” Soarin’ asked with a cocked eyebrow. “Normally, I would geek out about this, but right now is A) not the time and B) I’m kind of getting used to meeting important ponies of this world.” “Wait, ‘this world’! Please don’t tell me you’re like this nut!” Spitfire said, pointing at the peach coated pegasus. The pegasus looked back at her. “You know, if you continue to call me that, I will not be hesitant to smack you, regardless of your celebrity status.” “Please tell me that you know of this ‘RDN’. He has been talking non-stop about, trying to convince me that is exists.” Spitfire asked the seven ponies. “Yeah, we know what RDN is. We go on it. So, what’s your name? Preferably just use your username.” Grey Scale deadpanned. “Eagle Hooves.” The pegasus answered. “So that makes eight. Eight users of RDN got transported here, in Equestria and were spread out throughout the country.” Minti annylaized. “By the way, since we are like, new here to the literal since, what is the date.” “March 13th.” Soarin’ answered. The entire group fell silent and looked at each other. “Is there going to be any special event or celebration coming up soon?” asked Elo. “Yeah. There’ve been rumors flying around that someone connected to the Equestrian royalty is getting married soon, why?” The group fell into a more, deeper silence, only too give each other worried looks. “Well this is just dandy.” Commodore Crazy said, breaking the silence. “Might as well use the local language here, but we’re bucked everypony.” Derpyshy stated. “Wait, why?” asked Spitfire. “Let’s just say, we know about future events that are about to happen in about a month.” Minti answered. Grey Scale turned to Minti. “Do you think we should tell the princesses?” “I say no. We can’t risk changing this worlds turn of events.” “We already did that by simply coming here. Granted we can’t do that much stuff, but events have already been altered.” The others began to show agreement with Scale. “Look, how about this. When the event comes, we intervene a the right time.” “What the hay are you ponies talking about?!” asked Spitfire. “Okay, we are from an alternate reality/universe/world and you are subjects of a television show. From what you told us, we are towards the end of the second season of that show. The season finale of that show is coming up in this world. We know full well what is going to transpire with that event occurs. We are only discussing on how we are going to react and handle the situation when it comes to pass.” Axel Gunn explained. “So when will this event happen?” asked Soarin’ “April 21st or April 22nd.” answered Eagle Hooves. “Okayyyyy, we know a bit too much, so incase you need us (which I hope you don’t), you can find us in Cloudsdale.” Spitfire said as she grabbed Soarin’ and bolted out of the room, possibly the city. The now eight ponies remained silent, staring at the now empty doorway. After a minute or so, Crazy and Axel went back reading books and Minti joined them. Grey Scale and Elo then agreed to grab some of the books already used and place them back into their respective shelves. The sun was setting and all the ponies stared at the beauty of it all. “Think about it. We are possibly the only ones from our world to see this happen. Incredible.” Derpyshy said, with the others agreeing in unanimously. After a long day filled with twists and turns, the long day has finally come to an end. The events that were experienced were very taxing to the eight ponies. The ponies continued to read and converse to one another, either talking about what they experienced while they were in Equestria or what happened before they were transported to Equestria. It was 7:27, at least two hours after the sunset and the moonrise, when the Two Sisters arrived. Along with them was Shining Armor. All three of them looked extremely tired and in desperate need of either sleep of caffeine. “Luna has told me about the sev---wait. Why is there eight here?” Celestia asked. “uh...Hi, I’m Eagle Hooves. I was transported into Cloudsdale and the Wonderbolts met me and they thought that if we go to the Royal Archives, we could figure out a way for me to get back to my world. We got lost and we found the others by accident.” “Speaking of which, how did meeting the Wonderbolts go?” asked Minti. “It went badly. I nearly drowned Spitfire and when I learned when I became pony, I fainted.” “Smooth.” Grey Scale commented. “I wouldn’t talk, if I were you.” Shining Armor said to Grey Scale with a smug look. “What did I do?!” “You jumped out of a window, in front of my sister and Princess Celesia. then You ran around the city, trying to avoid the guards that weren’t even trying to hurt you and then you fly straight into my protection spell.” “I could’ve died!” “Yeah, when you jumped out the window.” “Besides that, you nearly broke my face in when you placed up that spell.” “Your fault that you weren’t paying attention.” “Ladies, break it up.” Commodore Crazy interrupted. “So Grey Scale, you said that you said you met Twilight with Princess Celestia. What caused you to jump out the window?” “um...ah.....Celestia.....had a fly swatter...” The group looked at Celestia and back to Grey Scale. Minti face hoffed. “What’s wrong with having a fly swatter?” the sun princess asked. The group gave off even more weird looks and Crazy slammed his face into the table. “You really don’t want to know.” Silver Brony said. “No, I really do.” Silver Brony paused and took a deep breath..... ***************************************************************************************** Shining Armor’s eye was twitching after Silver Brony’s explanation. Luna’s mouth was agape and Celestia was at completely disturbed. Grey Scale looked at the floor avoiding the looks he was receiving. Silver Brony got a sympathetic pat on the back by Axel Gunn, after explaining the most embarrassing thing you could say to a princess. “Congrats to all of us. We just broke Celestia.” Minti said. Celestia turned and slowly walked out, still disturbed from the tale she was told. Shining Armor got out of his daze and looked back at Grey Scale, whom replied with an awkward smile. “I think this meeting should be postponed, for a later date. And I believe that we shouldn’t dwell too deep into what goes on in your world.” Shining Armor then left. Now only Luna was the only one left in the room. “I have arranged for you all to be living in the, now no longer abandoned, west wing of the castle. There are enough rooms to accommodate one of you each. Just please, don’t create too much of a mess.” And after that Luna left and three guards stepped in. “Please follow us. We will guide you to your rooms.” one of them said with a deep gruff voice. The RDN ponies looked at Grey Scale. “If we get back, you are so banned.” Eagle Hooves said.
Mini-Chapter OneCanterlot Castle, the most prestigious castle in all of Equestria. Serving as a home to nobles of all kinds, the royal guard and to the Royal Sisters and their distant relatives, including Blueblood and Cadance. Though Bloodblood is a unicorn and Cadance is a unicorn pegasus, commonly referred as an alicorn, they are from the same parents. But that doesn’t excuse the bitter relationship they have at one another. Since they were little foals, they would bicker and insult one another. Once they reached adulthood they agreed to stay out of each other’s way so the castle could stay in one piece in case they have another tantrum. Unfortunately, they have to meet each other to plan out a certain event that is about to come up. They were staying in one the many courtyards of the castle going through paperwork and schedules to see if the event could be mapped out perfectly. “So. Shining Armor.” Blueblood said as he was writing notes on his copy of the schedule. “Yes. We’ve known each other for a long time and you know that.” His sister replied. “I’m surprised that you didn’t through a fit over it.” Blueblood cocked an eyebrow. “What makes you say that? I’m your brother, and yes we do have our fights every now and then, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t support you.” “mm-Hmm” “I also need to change my act and apologize to Ms. Rarity. I was..unkind to her.” “I’ve heard. Shining Armor chewed you out for that one. Which makes me beg to ask, why do you act such a pain and a snob? Please don’t tell me that the food you ate from the Apple family mare at the Gala was terrible?” “Sister, you know about the pressure I get from the other nobles. And about the tart I ate, it was delicious, but that doesn’t excuse the act I portrayed.” “I hope you aren’t just saying that just to shut me up.” Before Blueblood would reply, a possible start another fight, a loud crash was heard, but instead of investigating, the guards guarding the siblings simply rolled their eyes. “What was that?” asked Blueblood. “Shining Armor’s new assignment.” Answered one the guards, who was a pegasus. “What assignment is this?” “Keeping an eye on a group of newcomers and make sure they stay in the castle.” “Did they break any law?” Cadance asked, concerned. “No.” answered the other guard, who was a unicorn. “But, her highness, Princess Celestia, left a changed pony after she met the group. She’s currently staying in her quarters, asked not to be disturbed. Especially by the grey one of the group.” Another, but much louder crash was heard and the captain of the Royal Guard barged out of glass double doors that led into the courtyard that the four where in. Panting, “Have…you..seen them?” he asked, sweating like mad. “No sir. Are they trying to get out again?” the unicorn guard asked. “Yes. Get inside and look for them. They got hold of the fireworks and a carriage. I think you can put two and two together.” Shining Armor ordered. The two guards saluted and the unicorn guard went inside and the pegasus guard went up in the air. The royal siblings turned to Shining Armor. “What is going on?” asked Cadance. “To be honest, Judgment Day. These ponies are worse than you, Blueblood.” “Are they trying to take over the country?” asked Blueblood, in a theatrical angry voice. “No. They were told to stay indoors. They must have some kind of ADD, because they got bored and are now trying to get out.” A siren began to blare and in the distance a carriage, which looked like it was flames, was speeding across the air, with dozens of pegasus royal guards in pursuit. Shining Armor looked in horror. “Sweet Celestia, they succeeded.” “Who succeeded?” asked Cadance and Blueblood in unison. “RDN.”
Then Horse Poo Hit The FanLater that day… “Well that was great.” Minti yelled in frustration. “Hey guys, you know what is a great way to break out of the castle? Transforming a carriage into a missile?!” “You’re the one that backed the idea?!” retorted Axe Gunn. “Most of us thought it was nuts, but it still worked.” “If you mean it worked as in we were in the air for a few minutes before crashed into the Everfree Forest, then yes it worked.” Derpyshy said. “Whose idea was it?” asked Eagle Hooves. “Eo’s.” answered Grey Scale. Interrupting the groups discussion, the doctors and nurses walked in. The RDN ponies were in the infirmary, in beds. What made it unique was that Shinning Armor ordered that they would be strapped to their beds so they won’t try to get out. This didn’t help at all. Majority of the injuries that the RDN ponies are suffering are mainly concussions and sprained limbs and broken ribs. The pain they experienced in the crash was minuscule to the pain they are feeling right now. The infirmary staff was forced to reconnect the ribs and they had to relocate Minti’s now, which broke when he landed face first when the carriage crashed. After all that the staff soon left. “It still worked, didn’t it?” asked Grey Scale with a sly smile. Minti rolled his eyes. “Yeah but at what price? We now have broken ribs. We now can’t walk right anymore.” answered Axel Gunn. “Where are the others?” asked Derpyshy. “Somewhere else. They didn’t get hurt remember. We acted as a cushion for them.” answered Minti. The door opened once again, this time it was Shining Armor. “I hope we’ve learned a valuable lesson today.” He said. “Now, do you promise note pull off another escape attempt?” The group nodded. “Good. Now whose idea was it to strap fireworks to a carriage? Most of you are pegasi what stopped you from flying?” “To answer the first question, it was Elo’s idea.” Answered Derpyshy. And why couldn’t you just fly out?” “Well, since you just mentioned that, we didn’t really think of that. Kind of obvious.” “Very obvious. But that’s not why I’m here. Some ponies are desperate are ordering me to meet all of you. The doctors gave you a clean bill of health so you may leave.” The captain and the ponies stayed in their place. “Well don’t get up all at once.” The captain said. “Kind of hard to do that when YOU ordered the doctors to strap us to the beds.” Grey Scale answered. “Me and you are going to have a rough time until we figure out to send you back, aren’t we?” “Possibly.” *********************************************************************************** All eight RDN grouped up at the throne room. They were all exhausted from another day of fun packed events. They all saw the gapping hole that they made in the window when they made their escape. “If this is Celestia, we’re doomed.” Commodore Crazy said. “What about Luna?” asked Silver Brony. “If it’s her, then we’re dead.” Before the ponies could decide on their fate the doors opened and two very familiar ponies and Shining Armor entered. “Is that—?“ Elo said in shock “No it can’t be.” Minti continued. “This is a fate worse than death!” exclaimed Derpyshy. “Screw not escaping! EVERPONY ABANDON SHIP!” yelled Eagle Hooves, whom immediately grabbed a nearby pot and threw it at a window and then jumped out. Minti, Elo, Commodore ran to the side, where they could get out of the room. Derpyshy and Grey Scale flew out the hole that Eagle Hooves made. Only Axel and Silber Brony remained. Axel Face palmed himself. Shining Armor shook is head while the two ponies only stood and their mouths were agape. “What is the reason now?” asked Shining Armor, possibly loosing the last shred of sanity he ahs left. “It’s because of the ponies you brought. Specifically the stallion.” Silver Brony answered pointing at the stallion of the two. “What is he talking about?” asked the stallion. “What makes different from my sister?” “Wait. Princess is your sister?!” exclaimed Axel Gunn. “Yes.” answered Prince Blueblood. “Well, it’s a long story and I suggest that you sit down.” “I’d rather stand.” “Suit yourself” *********************************************************************************** “What did I tell you about being a pain. I knew it would backfire.” Cadance said smugly. Blueblood grumbled in retaliation. Cadance turned to the remaining RDN ponies. “I’m guessing you’re the reason why my aunt is locking herself in her room?” “Yeah and we really need to apologize to her.” Answered Silver Brony. “What id you do” “STOP!” yelled Shining Armor, with a terrified look, began to leave. “If they are going to explain why, I’m leaving.” He soon closed the doors. Cadance turned to the two ponies “Why, what’s wrong?” “I think your husband-to-be is doing himself a favor.” Axel Gunn stated. “You know about the wedding?! Who told you?” asked Cadance. “Pardon me, but weren’t you not listening just a few seconds ago. We already know about the wedding because we already seen it.” “So you know what’s going to happen?” “Yeah.” “Dude, tread lightly.” whispered Silver Brony. “What?” Axel Gunn said, confused. Silver Brony grabbed Axel by the shoulder. “Excuse us.” “Dude, what is your deal?” asked Axel Gunn, only a bit loud than Silver Brony wanted. “Be quiet.” he whispered. “We have no idea if this is really Cadance. She might by Chrysalis.” Axel began to sweat. “Oh buck me.” “Yeah, exactly. So what do we do?” Axel Gunn turned his to face Cadance and became wide-eyed. “I think we have more pressing matters right now?” “What makes you say that?” Axel Gunn nudged his head to the princess. Silver Brony turned his head saw a familiar green flame engulf Cadance. Blueblood was unconscious, on the ground, with a blow to the head. A black figure, with both a pair of wings and a horn, was hovering above the princess. The two bolted, running towards the figure. Silver Brony flew up and punched the figure square in the jaw. Its eyes flashed green with pure hate. “Oh crap.” The figures horn glowed a beam of green light hit the pegasus sending him sliding against the floor. “I got Cadance, you get Blueblood. And run like there’s no tomorrow!” yelled Axel Gunn. Silver Brony flew full speed and grabbed Blueblood and he and Axel bolted out of the throne room. The figure growled and followed pursuit. “Who was that?” asked Silver Brony. “Who do you think?! It’s Crysalis”. Axel replied. In response the queen of the changelings yelled in frustration. “Here take Cadance. I’ll hold Queen Cheddar Legs off.” Silver Brony was going to complain, but this was not time. He took Cadance and flew away. Axel turned to the queen, who was gaining speed. He looked to the side and tore off a leg of a table that was holding a vase. “Prepare to get banned.” Axel then charged at the incoming threat.
Fight Scenes Are MagicSilver Brony was forced to drop the two royal siblings. He looked down the corridor, panting. “Oh man, why do they have to be so heavy.” Behind him, five royal guards slowly crept up towards him, but before they could o anything Silver turned around a faced them. “Um, Hi.” He said. The guards looked at one anther and looked back the pegasus and smiled. Green flames engulfed them and they shown their true forms. Changelings. “Well, this gets better and better.” Silver grabbed the siblings and flew right at the changelings, passing them. They soon followed pursuit. Silver was flying slower by the minute due to him carrying the siblings. ‘Come on! All I have to do is get out of the castle!’ He looked over his shoulder. The changelings were gaining on him. He looked forward and scanned quickly to see a way to escape. Before he knew it he came at the end of the corridor. He made a sharp right. ‘There must be some way to hide or escape!’ he entered the more smaller corridors of the castle at a random choice; Silver barged threw one of the wooden doors, shattering it. He went in too fast, for he lost control and slammed against the wall directly across the door. All he saw before losing conciseness was a large white pony and the changelings, whom reverted back to their guard form. ******************************************************* Axel Gunn ducked for cover; to avoid the green energy blasts, still holding the table leg. The door began to catch fire; this caused Axel to run into the room that was right next him. He slammed the door and grabbed a stool. He then stood in his hind legs, with his wings providing balance; Axel Gunn faced the burning door with the stool in one hoof and the table leg in the other. He looked to his right as saw that the room had a kitchen. “Aw, yeah.” He said. It took Chrysalis a few minutes to figure out that Axel was in the room, but when she did, it was to late. She entered the room as saw bed sheets tide together to make a rope, which was tied against a weighted table. The rope was tied to Axel’s waist, who was also holding a piece of string. “Hope you like the room. Bye-Bye!” and Axel jumped, thus pulling the string. Chrysalis followed the strings trail and noticed that it led to the kitchen, which was giving off a weird smell. It took a fraction of a second too long to figure out what it was. Axel Gunn was holding for dear life was he dropped three stories to avoid what was about to happen. He then swung away from the castle and pushed himself towards the castle, aiming for the window so he could leap in. Before he made impact a loud explosion was heard. Axel Gunn slammed into the glass, but only cracked it. He then felt the grip of the rope lighten and swung again into the glass, so he wouldn’t become a smear on the ground. He was able to get through he glass and he braced for impact. *CRUNCH* “ow.” Axel slowly got up; his legs were wobbling with shards of glass on his hind legs and his wings. A siren blared in the distance; this was the second time it happened today. Axel then felt a tug and noticed that the table that was used as his weight was pulling him down. “Oh, boy” he said before the rope pulled him forward to the window. He quickly and in sloppy manure, untied the rope that was around his waist. He then fell back again, to regain his breath, only to feel more glass go into his backside. He immediate got up and limped away from the shards of the glass. “Shining Armor is going to kill me.” He said to himself. “Not before I do.” Axel froze and turned around and saw a smoldering Chrysalis, whom had the look that she wanted his head on a platter. “Well, this could have ended in a better way.” Chrysalis lunged at him and in retaliation Axel turned around and bucked Chyrsalis in the chest, sending her into the glass. Winded and in pain, Chrysalis got up, but was very weak. She turned to face her opponent, whom left hooked her in the jaw and then did a right upper cut to her face. Chrysalis fell again only to turn her head and blasted Axel in the stomach, sending him across the corridor, slamming and breaking a painting of Celestia. “You honestly believe you could defeat me?!” she boasted. “Yep.” “How so?” “Get your cheddar cheese legs over here and find out.” Chrysalis got even angrier. “I HAD ENOUGH OF BEING CALLED THAT! JUST FOR THAT, I MIGHT NOT EVEN KILL YOU! I AM-” “Gee, thanks! I like living and I’m glad that you understand that.” There was long pause. “I’m going to start beating you now. I might even enjoy it more than I should.” The queen threatened. Without warning the queen charged at the pegasus, whom ducked before she would attack and jumped up so he would land on her back. He then placed his right hoof on top of her head and the other at the bottom and used her as steering. “I think we should take this outside.” Axel remarked, who turned her head out of the window and the two went out into the setting sun. Chrysalis tried to break free of her hold with her head, but Axel was in control. So, she got her front hooves and grabbed his side and lifted him. “Have a nice trip.” and Chrysalis threw him straight down. But Axel flapped his wings immediately and used his gained force to right uppercut Chrysalis in the jaw. She lost consciousness and began to plummet to the ground. “Oh, no you don’t.” and Axel flew straight down to stop her. He was flying so fast, he didn’t even notice, before he heard a strange pop sound and all the sudden he gained even more speed. He was able to catch up to the queen and he grabbed her and slowed down and dropped her down on the ground. He was about to collapse, before being tackled by a grey-ish blur waked him up. “STAY DOWN!” Silver Brony yelled, as multi-colored blasts here being fired at the two. The pegausi ducked behind a large statue of Luna that was under construction. The blasts had no effect on the statue, so the two remained. “What the hell is going on?” asked Axel Gunn. “Long story short: I ran into guards that were in fact changelings. I flew for my life. Accidentally went into Celestia’s room, where the changelings transformed into guards again. Then I become Canterlot’s Most Wanted.” “Great. Have you seen the others?” “No. Either they skipped town, or they are hiding somewhere, or they are being detained.” Before Axel could talk, the statue exploded. The RDN ponies looked up and saw a battered and beaten Chrysalis, with a psychotic grin, with her right eye twitching. “oOoOoOOoo, there’s two of you! Double the fun.” She said slyly. Clearly she was on the breaking point of her sanity. The pegasi backed away slowly, but was quickly noticed by Chrysalis. “Oh, I do believe that you should do that.” She said. “What?” Silver Brony quivered. In a deep, dark, whispery tone, Chrysalis answered, ”Run.” The pones left nothing but a trail of the dirt they kicked up as they galloped away. The queen widened her grin and flew full speed in pursuit. “But they wouldn’t dare do that?” yelled Minti, who along with the six other RDN ponies that have been rounded up and placed in their quarters. All six had the faces of both anger and confusion of what they were told. “But the facts state other wise.” Princess Luna said. “Two of your ‘friends’ assaulted Princess Cadance and Prince Blueblood, scared the living daylights out of my sister and are now battling with the royal guard. They also caused my room to EXPLODE!” “There has got to be explanation for this.” Grey Scale stated. “Yes. There is. All of you will be placed into the dungeon until further notice. Your actions have endangered this city and her citizens. GUARDS! Take them away.” Luna barked. Soon there was close to fifteen guards that entered the room, with an additional five just outside the window to make sure the flyers wouldn’t escape. “This is going to be the worst experience ever.” mumbled Commodore Crazy. “Your highness!” yelled a earth pony guard,, who was running past the fifteen guards. “We have cornered the two in the maze in the courtyard. We also saw a third one aiding in their escape.” Luna turned and faced the six ponies. “You have ten seconds to explain this ‘third’ escapee.” All six gulped.
This Fic Just Got Real!The maze in Canterlot’s Castle courtyard is big. Really big. It is about the size of three and a half football fields. Ever since it was made, the record time it took for a pony to go through the maze was one hour and twenty-six minutes. It also serves as another purpose. And two ponies has found that purpose. It’s a great place to hide. Now, there is a fault in the maze. Since ponies hate cheaters, if a pegasus is to enter the maze, they could not be able to fly out due to a magical barrier. If a pegasus were to fly over the maze, it will be blurred from their vision. So if one were to try to hide within the maze, it will be hard for whoever is looking for them to find them. Deep in the maze, Axel Gunn and Silver Brony sat down and leaned agains the green bush wall. “Axel?” “Yeah.” “How where you able to fend off Chrysalis? I mean when we saw her, she was over powering Cadance, and she’s an alicorn. Kind of hard to believe that a pegasus would beat her up.” “Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t she beaten by a combination of love a protection spell. And that’s after she nearly sucked all of the love out of Shining Armor. So possibly we caught her in a bad time she had yet to feed.” Silver Brony sighed. “You know, this wasn’t what I imagined what’ll happen when I found out I was in Equestria. I thought I would team up with the mane six and find a way out, and fight off some kind of threat that plans on making all of Equestria transform into bacon.” “I don’t know about you, but that’ll be awesome. Ponies being transformed into bacon!” “So how do you think we are going to get out of this mess?” Before Axel could answer, a black-coated unicorn with a red and white striped mane and tale jumped through the green bush wall, landing between the two. The pegasi where too tire to react. “Hey, you okay?” asked Axel. The unicorn mumbled in response. “You okay?” Axel asked again. “No.” the unicorn responded, who was stallion. “Well, who are you?” asked Silver Brony. “The names Conventrix.” The unicorn replied. “Great that makes nine of us.” commented Silver Brony. “Nine?” asked Conventrix. “You’re not the only one that got transported to Equestria. I’m Silver Brony and this is Axel Gunn. The others are possibly in the castle.” “Canterlot Castle?” “Yep. The bad part is that we got the entire royal guard ready to descend upon us and give us the beating of our lives, PLUS, we got a really angry queen of the changelings that really wants to thank Axel for beating the tar out of her.” “Wait.” Conventrix turned to Axel. “What?!” “Yeah.” Axel confirmed. “I beat the tar of Queen Chrysalis.” “Bull.” Conventrix replied. “No way. You couldn’t have beaten her. She has alicorn strength and she’s able to get stronger by sucking the love out of ponies. So, no. There is no possible way you could have defeated Chrysalis in hand to hand combat.” “Can we not discuss this, we got more pressing matters at our hands.” Axel hissed. “We got half, possibly more, of the royal guard hunting us down.” “There’s worse to come.” Conventrix said. “Yeah, we’re going to have accept judgment from both Luna and Celestia. Oh and Shining Armor as well.” Axel replied. “No. Worse than that.” “What could be possibly worse than that?” “Tomorrow afternoon, a train that leaves the station at 12:19 p.m. will be hijacked. The hijackers will hold the passenger’s hostage and the country of Equestria will have 90 minutes to release known terrorists and pay the hijackers 8 million bits. Plus, now that the know that I’m from an alternate reality, they want all knowledge of that as well.” Conventrix explained. “How do you know all of this?” asked Silver Brony. “I was captured by them. I was able to escape and I was heading here, but I stopped that after I heard sirens blaring and saw a flaming carriage fly past. I decided to rest in the courtyard.” Axel Gunn and Silver Brony looked at each awkwardly. “What?” Conventrix asked. “We and the others were in the carriage. You see, Celestia, Luna, and Shining Armor agreed to keep us inside the castle at all times until there would be a way for us to get home. We got bored and plotted a way to get out. The carriage was one of those attempts. The only reason why it was flying was because we used a crap ton of fireworks to act like a propulsion system.” Silver Brony explained. “So why are you being hunted by the royal guard?” “Long story.” “I think we have plenty of time.” “Fine. Here goes.” One long and detailed story later… “So the others bailed all because Blueblood entered the room?” “Childish, I know.” Axel Gunn commented. The night was in full swing and orders given and thrown around by the royal guard could be hear. “Let’s get a move on. We need to get out of this maze before the guard see us.” Conventrix said. “Wouldn’t they be blocking the exits?” asked Axel. “Would you rather be corned by the royal guard?” replied Silver Brony. “See your point. Alright let’s go.” Axel walked ahead. The unicorn and the other pegasus followed and began their journey out of the maze. ************************************************************************ Princess Cadance woke up lying down in a bed and from it looks like she was in the infirmary. ‘What happened? All I remember is a green flame and the grey pegasus holding on to me while he was flying away from something…Ugh! My head.’ The niece of Celestia robbed her head, hoping it will ease her pain, but it didn’t. “CADANCE! Oh, thank Celestia, you’re alright.” A familiar voice to her yelled, who then held on to her right hoof. “Shining Armor, what happened?” Cadance asked. “Two of the RDN ponies attacked you. Princess Luna is questioning the others right now. Oh, I swear if they hurt you in anyway, I’ll make them regret it!” “What happened to Blueblood?” “He’s alright. He was only knocked unconscious from a blow to the head. He does however claims that the two RDN ponies are innocent.” “How so?” “Before he was knocked out, he saw a dark figure attack him and he only saw the RDN ponies several feet away.” “They could have been making sure nothing would go wrong.” suggested Cadance. “That’s what Luna and Celestia believe. Personally, I’m torn. I know I haven’t known them for so long, but from what I saw, it isn’t in their nature to pull something off like this.” “We’re they trying to assassinate me and Blueblood?” Cadance getting stressed out even more. “Nonononononono. Please calm down, dear. From what was gathered, they were merely trying to kidnap you and Blueblood. Don’t know what goal they would achieve.” “Was anypony hurt?” “A few guards try to detain the one named Silver Brony and he fought back. They only suffered a few bruises, but nothing severe.” “Anything else happened.” “Luna lost her room.” “How so?” A concerned Cadance asked. “The one named Axel Gunn was possibly trying to avoid escape so he blew up Luna’s room to provide distraction so he and his accomplices’ could escape.” Cadance was about to ask another series of questions, but she was interrupted by one of the guards. “Sir, we’ve found them. They are in the northwester section of the maze. Should we move in?” the guard reported. “Immediately and send them both to the dungeon so they can explain this to their companions.” Shining Armor ordered. “Trust has been lost today.” ************************************************************************ “So, if we do get out of here, what are we gonna do?” asked Silver Brony. “We’re then going to avoid the royal guard as we try to escape here, then board the train that’s scheduled to be hijacked and stop it from happening.” Conventrix replied. “Axel Gunn, any guards?” “No, but we should be careful.” Axel replied. “By the way, who are the hijackers?” Silver Brony asked Conventrix “The most racially diverse group of hijackers I’ve ever seen. There is one of each race. Earth pony, pegasus, unicorn, diamond dog, mule, and a griffon. I’ve only met the leader once. All I remember was that he was as big as a house and was cloaked over. Deep voice, but that’s it.” Conventrix replied. “Wait, was the leader wearing a brown, wool cloak? Along with a grey coated, sky blue colored mane and tail?” Axel Gunn asked. “Yeah, why?” “Then we’re aren’t just dealing with some group of hijackers. Equestria is about to go two war with possibly the most lethal crime syndicate.” Axel stated. “How do you know it’s a crime syndicate?” asked Silver Brony. “Remember I told you guys about those banks down at Appleoosa?” “Yeah. You said that they were robbed of all their money and the banks were blown up.” “Some of the witnesses of the robberies came up with the same description of the two ‘heads’ of the robberies. One was a big build pony, with a brown wool cloak and the other was a dark grey-coated pegasus with a sky blue mane and tale.” Axel continued. “So the two are graduating from robbers to hijackers. Fantastic.” Conventrix grumbled. “GUYS!” Silver Brony whispered loudly, there’s the exit. And low and behold, there it was. With no guards present. “I say we make a break for it. We’ll meet up at the train station.” “Agreed. It’s nighttime, so the night guards could be running things now.” Conventrix observed. Axel Gunn and Silver Brony stood on their hind legs and stood against the bush, sneaking slowly. Conventrix tried to stand on his hind legs, but failed, so he decided to crawl his way. Axel looked around to see if there were any guards on the ground and the air. He saw nothing and signaled to the others that it was all clear. The three galloped out of the maze and took cover under a tree. They turned around and saw pegasus guards flying around the maze. “THERE THEY ARE! GET THEM!” yelled a guard from the distance. “Scatter!” ordered Conventrix and the three ponies parted ways to avoid capture. Silver Brony gave flight, but before he could reach the clouds, a night guard tackled him and they began to plummet towards the ground. The grey pegasus struggled to get out of the guards grip, but he was to strong. Just before he made impact, he suddenly turned, making the night guard into a cushion as they slid against the ground. The guard loosened his grip, so in response, Silver elbowed the guard in the ribs. The guard released his grip and Silver flew away. He only hoped that the others were able to escape. ************************************************************************ “Are we even sure that they did indeed tried to kidnap Cadance and Blueblood?” wondered Elo. “I mean look at the facts. This black figure gave off a green colored flame and it attacked Blueblood and Cadance. Kind of a dead give-away, isn’t?” “Yeah, we know.” answered Eagle Hooves. “Now because of them, we’re in the dungeons. Thanks to Grey Scale, the entire country of Equestria is looking for a pony by the name of Redenchilada.” “The name just popped in my head, sorry.” Gray Scale rolled his eyes. “It’ll take them a bit to figure out that it’s a lie. Did you see how angry Luna was? May whatever god those two believe in have mercy on their souls” Minti said. The others nodded. “So, how are we going to get out of this mess?” asked Derpyshy. “We have to tell them of the royal wedding episode. Granted, it’s going to drastically change the wedding plans, but at least we are telling the truth.” Commodore Crazt replied. At the bars, instead of talking Minti began bucking the padlock so he could kick his way out. The noise began to irritate the others. “Do you need help?” asked Eagle Hooves. “That’ll be greatly appreciated.” Replied Minti. The others grouped up and began kicking the door. After a few minutes, the door refused to give. “Well that worked.” Grey Scale stated. “How about this: Every now and then a guard come down and take us in for questioning. Right?” asked Minit. “Yeah.” Answered Commodore Crazy. “So, whoever is next, leaves and tackles the guard. They then grab the keys and throw here. Someone would grab the keys and unlock the door if need be.” “Sounds like a good plan, but multiple flaws. What if the guard yells for help? Then even more guards swarm us. Also, what if the person misses and the key is out of reach? Also, I don’t think we know how to put a sleeper hold on a pony, let alone a royal guard.” Grey Scale pointed out. “Do we have to try to break out? I mean the last time we tried that, we landed in the middle of the Everfree Forest. I think we should wait this out and stay low until things cool down.” suggested Derpyshy. “The brony’s got a point.” Commodore agreed. “I agree also.” chimed in Eagle “Fine. We’ll stay low and cooperate with Luna and others. Think that’ll cause Shining Armor to faint from shock.” Grey Scale stated, with the others snickering in response. A loud creaking sound, followed by a loud bang was heard. All six knew that is was the entrance into the dungeons and either they are bout to get a new guest or they are going to get yelled at again. Much to their horror, it was neither a guest or a guards, but Princess Celestia, herself. Eagle Hooves cowered to the far corner of the dungeon room, hoping the hide himself. The others backed away slowly and began to lower themselves to the floor hoping that the floor would miraculously camouflage them and the Sun Goddess wouldn’t see them. “Why did two of you decided to foolishly attack my neice and nephew?” Celestia asked in commanding tone. There was no response. “SPEAK!” The six flinched. They all began to sweat bullets. Before Celestia would ask again, an explosion of the highest magnitude went off, devastating the castle, including the dungeons. Rubble landed on Celestia, paralyzing her to the ground. The six ponies went flying in the as debris fell on them as well. A few minutes later everything was still. “What the buck was that?!” yelled Grey Scale. “Explosion, you idiot! Now check to see if everyone is okay.” Commodore yelled back. “Can’t!” “Why not.” “Kind of hard to move when you got about a tons weight of rocks and boulders on your back.” Grey Scale wasn’t lying. He was completely buried in stone, along with Elo and Eagle Hooves. “Anyone still alive?” yelled Commodore. “I Am.” yelled back Minti as he got up. “Anyone else?” “Derpyshy here!” “Minti go check on Celestia. The bars dented enough for you to get past.” Commodore ordered. Though the bars were dented enough for Minti to get past, but it was just barely. Minti walked up to the princess, who had rocks on her hind legs and her back. “She doesn’t look to good. We need to move the rocks one at a time, or they collapse on her.” Minti reported. “Great. The same goes for Grey, Eagle and Elo. Minti, try to aid Celestia, while Derpyshy and I will aid the others.” Commodore commanded. Minti turned to face the princess, but saw a brown-cloaked figure standing on the other side of the princess. “Who are you?” Minti asked. In response, the figure turned around bucked Minti in the face sending him across the dungeon. “MINTI!” Derpyshy yelled. Commodore Crazy then lunged at the foe, who just stood in their place. The moment Crazy grabbed the figure, they turned so fast, they sent Crazy flying into another cell, breaking the bench inside it. The figure then began to move rocks that were on top Celestia with immense ease. Once done the figure rose his fore hooves, ready to stomp the princess. Derpyshy took this moment to strike and flew right at the figure, but instead of stomping the princess, the figure only flicked his hooves on both Derpyshy’s face and chest and sent him hurtling back into the cell. The figure rose it’s hooves again, and this completing his goal. All the still-conscious ponies flinched when they heard the crunch made by Celestia’s ribs. The figure then grabbed her hair and lifted her up. “Well, well, well.” It said with a dark smooth whispery tone. “Looks like I’m the first pony to ever break the sworn protector of Equestria.” After it’s boast, the figure threw the princess at Commodore, thus slamming into him. “I already know of your existence, maggots. I already know of your ‘Rainbow Dash Network’ and its purpose. My only suggestion is for you get out of this world quickly. For there will be no dawn for Equestria.” The figure stated. It then touched a piece of brass attached to the right shoulder area of the cloak. “I’m ready.” Then a hole was blown in to the dungeon and a rope was dangling just outside. The figure then walked, with no regret for the atrocities it has committed and existed the castle. ************************************************************************ “My God.” Conventrix said in shock and despair. He and along with the other citizens of Ponyville watched in horror as smoke rises from Canterlot. Around him, ponies were on the ground sobbing, others were staring in shock, hoping it is a bad dream. It wasn’t. They knew it isn’t a dream. Somepony out there had declared war on Equestria in the boldest fashion. By bombing the city of Canterlot. He soon got out of his daze and walked into the Sugar Cube Corner and met up with Axel and Silver. “How bad is it?” Axel asked. “Extremely bad. This must have been that back-up plan.” “The one that will be used in case the train plot was exposed?” Silver Brony asked. “Yeah. I knew they would change their plans, but never knew they would go this far.” “You’re the one that made us go this far, Mr. Conventrix.” Conventrix quickly turned around and faced a pegasus, griffon and a mule along with a half a dozen ponies in dark green cloaks. “Are these they guys you’ve been talking about?” asked Axel. “Oh, so he told you.” The unicorn answered. “Then I’m afraid you’ll have to come with us. You see, we can’t have people knowing of our plans. It’s just bad for the organization.” The three ponies began to back up, but more ponies with dark green cloaks came in through the back, thus surrounding the three and the ponies still inside. “What do you want?” Axel asked. “We want our plans to move smoothly, but your appearance has little impact to our plans. We only just want you to leave.” The unicorn stated. “We don’t even know how we got here, so what makes you think that we could get out.” “Oh, we’ve found someone that could help you.” The unicorn turned to cloaked ponies. “Bring him in” Three of them nodded and bowed. They then turned around and left for a short time. When they returned they were holding on an off-white coated pegasus with a red and blue striped mane and tale. “RDN, meet Techdash, the head of Equestria’s R&D Department. Granted I’m a unicorn, I hardly doubt magic will assist you on your return back to your home. We’ll give you fifteen minutes. Oh, everypony that’s not them, you may leave unharmed. I believe that you should pray for the ponies that were in the castle and hope that the princess is okay.” stated the unicorn. The unicorn along with most of the cloaked ponies left. It took a few minutes before the other ponies realized it was time to leave. Conventrix helped Techdash up. “You alright, buddy?” he asked. “Yeah. I’m not hurt that bad.” the pegasus replied. “It’s my fault that I resisted.” “What did they want from you?” asked Axel Gunn. “They wanted the plans for this device that we’re about to make. They learned that the plans were going to be moved to Las Pegasus, where the device was going to be built. Since they got to me, they learned what the route they would take and took the plans.” Techdash explained. “What is the device meant to do?” Silver Brony asked. “To extract the magic elements from gemstones and store it in a container.” “What could it possibly do?” “They just tested it on Canterlot.” “How much energy caused something like that?” Axel asked. Techdash sighed. “60 gemstones. And they have countless more. However their leader is, they have ties with the diamond dogs and are receiving the stones from them.” “They made you build the machine, didn’t they?” “Yes, but the machine is extremely complex, so that’s why they still want me here.” The unicorn returned and held the door open. “Time to go. All of you.” The cloaked ponies behind the four ponies pushed them forward. ************************************************************************ “EVACUATE THE CASTLE!” yelled Shining Armor. The guards saluted and ran back into the castle, which was still in flames from the explosion. He pointed to the next two dozen guards. “Get the civilians out of the city. And if any ask about Celestia and Luna, we’ve got them out!” In the distance, another tower fell due to the flames. Aid from other cities, towns and villages were just arriving, doing their best to aid the crippled city. “Set up an emergency clinic down at Star-Swirled Avenue. All the inured will be transported there and then they will be shipped to either Ponyville General or Cloudsdale Hospital.” Shining Armor ordered. Cadance was shipped out immediately after the explosion occurred, but there has been no information about where she went. “Sir!” yelled a grey-coated pegasus guard, whose armor was grayed due to the smoke. “What is it?” Shining Armor asked. “We have gathered information that Celestia went to the dungeon to question the RDN ponies at the time of the explosion. We went to the dungeons, but rubble is currently blocking the entrance. We’ve also found a hole that leads into the dungeon, but before we could enter it caved.” the guard reported. “Get the best construction crew and have them dig out the entrance. For all we know the princess is still inside.” ************************************************************************ The dungeon air was thick and moist. The air ducks were the only ones that saved the six ponies and princess from suffocation. “Commodore! How is the princess?” Minti yelled, shaking his head, trying to regain focus. “Her ribs are either cracked or broken. She’s in immense pain, Minti. We need to get out of here and fast.” Commodore reported. “Hey, someone help pull Elo out!” Derpyshy requested. Minit slowly galloped up and grabbed Elo’s right hoof, while Derpyshy grabbed his left and they heaved. Elo was barely consciousness and wasn’t responding to either Minti’s and Derpyshy’s questions. “Eagle Hooves, I need you to get a bench.” Commodore said. Eagle Hooves was the first to get out of the rubble prison, and was now regaining his train of thought. He looked around for a good bench and finally saw one. The hinges where barely connected to the wall, so it was easy to disconnect the bench. He then brought it to Crazy. “Alright, we need to lift her up and placer her on the bench. We’ll use the chains as trapes to hold her down.” Commodore said and Eagle nodded in response. “Three. Two. One. HEAVE!” The ponies lifted the heavy princes and placed her on the bench. “See those pile of rocks?” Eagle pointed out. “Let’s balance the bench there so we could tie the chains.” “Alright. Three. Two. ONE!” and the ponies lifted the bench and carried it to the rocks and placed it down. Commodore began to tie the chains around Celestia’s chest and her legs. “PRINCESS IS SUCCURE!” Eagle yelled. “Grey is free!” responded Derpyshy. Sounds of digging were heard behind the pile of rubble that was blocking the entrance. “Hey! We got some survivors that need medical attention!” yelled Grey Scale. “Is the princess in there?” a voice yelled back. “Yes, but she needs medical attention right now!” Minti yelled back. “Okay, hold on! We’re almost there!” the voice replied. The rubble began to shift and crumble as earth ponies with construction gear on broke through the wall of rubble and came in. Medicinal staff rushed in and swarmed the princess. “What happened to her?” asked one of the doctors. “Rubble fell on her and one of the ponies that set off the explosion just came in and beaten her senseless.” Derpyshy answered. “We need to get her to Clousdale Hospital.” The doctor informed the others. Immediately the medical staff picked up the bench and carried the crippled princess out of the dungeon. ************************************************************************ The cloaked figure walked into the dark, damp aired room. In the center of the room was a floating orb, giving off the only source of light in the room, which was extremely dim. The moment the figure came at arms length away, the orb became bright as the sun. “Report.” said the orb. “We had to change our plans evolving the train hijacking. We came into contact with a pony from an alternate reality. While he was being moved to on of our warehouses, he escaped.” reported the figure. “What was this pony’s name?” asked the orb. “Conventrix, sir.” “Continue.” “In response to the prisoner’s escape, we’ve decided to move to our back-up plan, which involved the usage of the machine that we stole plans of.” “How well did it work?” “It was perfect. The entire city is in smoke and fire. I personally saw to it that Celestia wouldn’t interfere anytime soon.” The orb chuckled. “Good. Good.” “Is there anything more you want me to do?” the figure asked. “No. Not at the moment. I’ll be senidng more soldiers to for our cause. Leading them will be the General.” The figure was taken aback. “The General is coming. “Yes. My brother and me have heard of your activities in Appleoosa. We are dispointed in you. You were told that you must never return to bank robbing of anykind. Wea re letting you go free of this, but if this ever happens again, you’ll never be safe. There is not a place in this world that you can hide. Understood?” “Yes, sir.” “Good.” The orb then reverted back to its extremely dim color, leaving the figure alone in the darkness. The figure walked out of the room and pointed a group of minions. “Inform the others that the General is arriving.” The figure informed. The minions smiled, ear to ear. They knew that once the General arrives, everything is going to change. Their so-called ‘revolution’ is about to begin. ************************************************************************ Luna paced back and forth in the emergency room of Ponyville General. The news that the doctors told her was very grim. From what the doctors told her, the injuries that Celestia has been suffering from. Celestia has a severe concussion, cracked ribs on the right rib, and four broken ribs on her left rib. He leg were also sprained and her back was nearly broken, along with tiny pieced of rubble only centimeters from penetrating the spinal cord. The most minor of all those injuries was that her nose was broken. The doctors also informed Luna that Celestia has entered into a coma and they don’t know when she’ll come out of it or if she’ll ever come out of it. So much has happened for the past two days. Cadance has finally been located. She was accidentally transferred to Manehatten First Aid Clinic. Luna rubbed her head. Bags began to form under her eyes. “Your highness?” Shining Armor asked, interrupting Luna’s train of thought. “Huh…Oh. Sorry Captain Armor. What is it?” Luna asked. “My sister and her friends have arrived.” Armor informed. “Good. Good, please allow them to come in.” Armor bowed and left the emergency room for only a short second before returning the wielders of Elements of Harmony. They bowed to the princess, and she returned the gesture. “Is Princess Celestia okay?” Pinkie Pie asked, whose mane and tail was flat. “She could be better, Ms. Pie. She is currently resting.” Luna informed. “Are you okay?” asked Rarity. “No. I, too, need rest after the days events.” “I heard she was in the dungeon. Why was she down there?” asked Trilight. Luna sighed. “Do you remember the grey dragon you saw a couple days ago?” Luna asked. Twilight nodded. “He transformed into a pony-dragon hybrid, but that is only the start. He and many others were from an alternate reality and are part of the same group.” Luna informed. “What group?” asked Rainbow Dash. Luna chuckled. “RDN. Rainbow Dash Network.” Rainbow was taken aback and mouth was agape. “Rainbow….Dash..Network..” she said, repeatedly. “Yes. It’s what they call a website. More specifically a social networking site where others could on and talk to others around their world.” Luna explained in more detail. “But why were they in the dungeon?” asked Twilight. “A couple hours before the explosion, there was a separate incident that occurred in the castle. Princess Mi Amo…Princess Cadane and Prince Blueblood were the primary targets of a kidnapping attempt. Two of these RDN ponies are possible suspects of the attempt and a third has been confirmed to have assisted in their escape, whom we learned goes by the name Red Enchilada.” The group remained quiet. “Are Blueblood and Cadance alright?” Fluttershy asked. “Yes, but Blueblood believes that the two RDN ponies had nothing to do with the kidnapping attempt. Normally he would blame everypony around him when something bad happens, but not this. He said that they tried to save him and his sister-“ “Blueblood and Cadance are siblings?” Twilight said louder than need be, and immediately blushed in embarrassment. “Yes. Ms. Sparkle. As I was saying Blueblood believes that they were trying to save his sister mainly.” Luna continued. A guard then entered into the emergency and bowed to the princess. “Your highness. I have news.” The guard said. “Then tell us.” Luna ordered. “Blueblood was so persistent in proving the RDN ponies innocence, when he was sent to Ponyville, we went into the library, locked the door and proceeded to look through most of books so he can show the creature he saw.” The guard reported. “Wait, my library?” asked Twilight. “Yes.” Twilight was at stand still. She didn’t whether to be angry that Blueblood was in her library, but the reasoning astounded her. From what Rarity told her, Blueblood is a snob to the nth degree and refuses to do anything that is remotely related to commoners. “Could you please take me there?” requested Twilight. The guard looked at Luna and nodded her approval. “Please follow me, Ms. Sparkle.” the guard said, allowing her to lead the way. ************************************************************************ The captives were forced at the door of the library. “We’ll keep you here for no.” said the unicorn. “Now, open the door.” Conventrix tried to open the door, but it wouldn’t budge. “Knock the.” the unicorn persisted. Conventrix knocked and a frustrated tone came in return. “Sorry! The library is closed for the day. Please come back tomorrow!” “Enough of this.” said the unicorn. He raised his forelegs and kicked the door down and he and his minions, along with their captives, stormed into the library. When they got up the stairs, they saw a white-coated unicorn with a light brown mane and tail. He was wearing noble-like clothing. “How dare you break in!” yelled Blueblood. “Ah. Prince Blueblood. This just gets better and better. Seize him.” the unicorn ordered and other minions grabbed and held down the prince. “Now, what makes a prince, no less you of all ponies, to come into a library?” asked the unicorn. The prince remained silent. “We’ll make you talk, eventually. Having a prince as a hostage will please the boss very much.” “What are you?” asked Silver Brony. “Us? We’re Equestria’s rebirth. We believe that the Royal Sisters had their fun on the throne. Now it’s our turn.” the unicorn said smugly. “And how are you going to do that?” asked Axel. “Look around you. You’re standing in the middle of the best militia in all of Equestria. We’ve got all the crime lords and former royal guards ready to move. BOOM! In a few weeks, we’ll have the entire Griffon Liberation Front tied up in a nice ribbon. BA-BANG!” exclaimed the unicorn. ************************************************************************ Twilight and a few guards were coming up the street that led to the library. Just before they turned to face ht library, the noticed several guards and officers making a perimeter of the building. “What’s going on?” asked one of the guards. “I’m officer Alipoe. I’m from FDPD. Inside that building is the leader of a small group of thieves known as the Diversity Gang. We’re working along with PVPD by setting up a perimeter around the library before we storm the place.” The officer informed. “And the reason why the royal guards are here?” asked the guard. “Prince Blueblood is inside the building. We also saw the head of Equestria’s R&D department within and three ponies that we have yet to identify.” Alipoe replied. The guard cursed under his breath. He turned to the one behind him. “Inform Shining Armor of the situation. Tell him that the RDN ponies may be inside.” “Wait.” Alipoe interrupted. “RDN? As in ‘Rainbow Dash Network’?” “Yes. How did you know of that?” asked the guard. “I ran into two of them in Fillydelphia.” “Who were those ponies?” “Silver Brony and Commodore Crazy.” “Then you might meet Silver Brony again, for he may be in there as well.” T he guard informed. “Sir?” asked the other guard waiting for further orders. “Why are you still here? GO!” ordered the guard. He turned to Alipoe. “Get ready to storm the building in five minutes.” Alipoe nodded sternly and galloped towards the other officers. “Please don’t damage the library to badly, please.” requested Twilight. “Not making any promises.” responded the guard. ************************************************************************ “Boss! There’s officers and royal guards surrounding us.” informed one of the minions. “Do you have the cases?” asked the unicorn. “Yes.” answered the minion. “Then get ready.” The minion smiled. ************************************************************************ “Alright move in!” ordered Alipoe. Immediately the officers and guards galloped at full speed towards the library. ************************************************************************ Minions stood near all windows, opening up crates that they’ve been carrying. They all looked towards their leader. He nodded. “Do it.” ************************************************************************ When the officers and guards got within five feet away from the entrance to the library, all the windows facing them shattered beams of light fired at them. The group scattered avoiding the beams. Explosions were happing everywhere as the beams hit the ground. Smoke and dirt filled the air. The beams of light fired rabidly across the street. Unbeknownst to them, the minions, the unicorn and their captives left the front entrance and ran into an alleyway. Once they left, the shooting stopped and the officers stormed the building, not knowing that the building was empty. The officers and the guards searched every nook and cranny of the library trying to find whoever shot at them. One of the officers opened up a chest, which there was string attached to a few tubes and a rusty metal container that had a rainbow glow. “Sir, what is this?” the officer asked his superior. The officer looked back at the chest and the last thing he saw was blinding purple flash and a wave of heat. ************************************************************************ “DOWN!” yelled a guard, tackling Twilight, using his body as a shield from the shrapnel. Wood and glass fell like rain in the surrounding areas. Firefighters arrived at the scene immediately doing their best in terms of putting out the flames and getting as many survivors as possible. The guard got up and helped Twilight up. The lavender pony looked in horror as she witnessed her home and job burned to the ground. She kneeled down and started to cry, with the guard that protected her wrapping her body around with a blanket. ************************************************************************ The captives were able to escape after the explosion. Most of the minions were caught of guard of the loudness and the size of the explosion. The captors made a run for it and broke off the bonds they were wearing when they went into the alleyway, avoiding the officers. Across from the alley they were in was a hospital. They all agreed that once they are in there, they would be protected. They ran out of the alleyway and galloped towards the hospital. ************************************************************************ Luna was once again pacing waiting for more news from the doctors. The remaining wielders of the Elements went down to the cafeteria to get some food. Luna was hungry, but didn’t want to leave incase the doctor was to come out. Then she heard yelling coming from outside of the hospital. Before she would reach the door, five ponies, two unicorns, three pegasus busted through the door. All but one she recognized. “GUARDS! SEIZE MR. BRONY AND MR. GUNN!” the princess ordered very loudly. The guards followed their orders and held down Silver and Axel. Luna walked up to the black unicorn. “And you must be Red Enchilada? Yes?” asked Luna menacingly. “um..ah..N-n-o.” the unicorn stammered. “Then who are you?!” the princss slammed her right for hoof on the ground, cracking the floor. “Conventrix.” “Are you part of RDN?” “Yes.” “Guards. Seize Mr. Conventrix now and take them away.” Luna ordered. “What the hell did I do?” yelled Conventrix. “You tried to kidnap Prince Blueblood and Princess Cadacne. You’ll wish you’ve never done such a thing.” Luna threatened. “Kidnap! Lady, I was held captive by a group of terrorists the entire time I’ve been here! I only just recently escaped!” Conventrix yelled. “You dare talk to me like that?!” Luna fumed. “YEAH! WHAT ABOUT IT?!” Conventrix shouted. “Plus, what makes you think we tried to kidnap Cadance and Blueblood. WE tried to save them!” Silver Brony joined in. “Really?! From whom?” asked Luna in an annoyed. “Chryslalis. Queen of the changelings.” Axel responded. The entire room fell silent. “TAKE THEM AWAY!” Luna furiously ordered. The guards holding the RDN ponies shoved them forward, out of the lobby. They guards shoved the ponies into a cube shaped wooden carriage, with bars on all the windows. All the ponies were silent as the guards pulled the carriage and entered the Everfree Forest. “Great now, we’re prisoners.” mumbled Silver Brony. Axel turned to Conventrix. “So did it feel to stand up to Luna like that?” Conventrix chuckled. “To be honest, the most scariest thing in my entire life. Really thought she would chew my head off.” he answered. “Hopefully the others aren’t going through this stuff. Lord, it’s been a long day.” Axel said. The others nodded their head in agreement. There was flash of green and the carriage stopped. “Oh come on! Not again!” yelled Silver Brony. The roof of the carriage ripped clean off with a green-ish glow surrounding it. The roof was then thrown to the side. Flying into view was the battered and furious queen of the changelings. “Oh, boy.” Axel murmured. “Don’t even try to escape.” Chryslalis ordered. “Why?” Silver Brony asked, in spite of his fear. The queen smiled and her horn glowed. The walls around the carriage collapsed and surround it was hundreds of changelings. “That’s why.” Chrysalis said. “Can you just come another day? We just got kidnapped.” Axel stated. “Tell that to your companions.” The queen then nudged her head to a group of changelings, who moved to show the other RDN ponies in green slime, captive. “Now, please resist. I really want to repay you for interfering with my plans.” The ponies stayed where they were. “Good. Seize them.” Chyrsalis ordered. “Haven’t heard that a lot today.” Axel mumbled as the changelings used their magic to shackle the ponies and brought them to the other RDN ponies. “Guys, Conventrix. Conventrix, the other RDN ponies.” Silver introduced. The others nodded. “Eagle Hooves.” “Commodore Crazy.” “Grey Scale” “Minti” “Elo” “Derpyshy.” “So how are going to get out of this?” asked Conventrix. Minti shrugged. “Who knows? When the window shows itself.” The changelings shoved the now nine RDN ponies forcing them to march. The ponies walked on, going deep in to the Everfree Forest.
Chapter Three PreviewThe noble was quietly sitting in his carriage having no care for the world outside. And why should he? Nopony would try to get past the royal guards pulling his carriage and try to steal the package he was transporting. All that needs to be done is to get the package to Manehatten and give it to the next pony for the following leg. Orders were specifically given not to open the package. ‘Kind of blandish order, if you ask me’ thought the noble when he was given the order. ‘Already an easy task to begin with. Like i care for what’s in the package.’ He was in the carriage for about a hour and a half. Most of which he spent either in his thoughts or resting. He occasionally tried to talk to the royal guards, but as predicted they stayed silent. ‘Wonder what their lives are like outside of their jobs.’ the noble thought to himself. In the middle of the thought a sudden jerk behind the carriage pushed the noble forward into the wall in front of him. He opened the window that allowed him to talk to the guards pulling the carriage. “WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?” He yelled. Before they could answer, two ropes suddenly hooked on both sides of the the front of the carriage and before the noble knew it, he was airborne, rising up from the ground. The carriage swayed as is it rose in the air. Eventually the ropes on the front released and the noble smacked into the window so hard, he went through it. Holding on for dear life to the handles outside, the noble slowly pulled himself back into the carriage. When he did, he noticed a dark grey pegasus with a sky blue mohawk holding the package that the noble sworn to protect. But the pegasus wasn’t alone. A black cloaked figure stood the the right of the noble. The figure was on four legs, but had the build and size of a diamond dog. “We’ll be taking this from you.” announced the figure. “What are you?” the noble asked. “Reckoning.” the figure answered. And just like that the grey pegasus exited the way he came and the figure followed. The noble stood there in awe of what just transpired in front of him. Eventually he lost sense of gravity, as if he was light as a feather. The noble looked out the shattered window and saw the ground closing in fast....
