Ponies and the Alpha Team

"I told you it was a bad idea."

Fluttershy was cowering in the center of the group. Applejack and the rest stared defiantly at the on lookers.

"How did you monsters get up here anyhow?"

"Get back to the Arcade where you belong!"

"I hope the wolvers gnaw on your bones by nightfall."

Applejack looked over to Rainbow Dash. "Any idea what they're talking about?" Rainbow Dash shook her head. "All of this is beyond me."

Lyra looked around. "This is not looking good for us." Lyra suddenly thought of something. Lyra pulled out her blade.

"Well THAT is an interesting blade!" The entire crowd looked over to find a knight and...

"Twilight? Is that you?" Rainbow Dash could hardly recognize her in the cobalt armor that she wore. "Yes it's me Rainbow."

"Troy? What are you doing with these monsters?"

"I thought you were friendly Troy!"

"Why did you give these things armor? You just made our job harder!"

"I thought you were civilized!"

"Hold your horses everybody!" Troy turned to Twilight. "No pun intended." He turned back to the crowd. "I know what this looks like. But if you will please give these so called monsters of yours a chance, they can explain themselves."

"HOW? They're MONSTERS! They can't talk!"

"Actually, to the contrary. I, excuse me, we, can hear and understand you quite well." Twilight walked among the stunned spectators. "I know I've been attracting a few unfriendly stares from some of you. But rest assured, I am friendly. So are my friends here." Twilight looked back to the group.

"You tell'em Twilight!" Rainbow Dash cheered. Twilight promptly brought Rainbow down to earth. "That didn't help your position at all. Let me do the talking."

"Now I'm sure that some of you are wondering what we're doing here. Trust me, I do not want to stay here longer then I want to. This group right here followed me here to try and rescue me. Believe me there is no need for alarm."

"Are you sure about that?" Twilight glanced over to find a knight walking towards her. Twilight glanced. "Who are you?" The knight laughed. "I'm Amzok. And let me tell you. If there is one thing I don't like, it's monsters." Twilight frowned. "As I said before, we are not...!" Twilight was cut off when she found a blade pointed at her throat. "Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now." Twilight sighed. Just as quickly she twirled on her hooves and pulled out her blade. Amzok was shocked to find a blade to his own neck. "Because I can just as easily treat you, like a monster." Twilight put her sword away, and Amzok tripped away in fear. "You'll be hearing from me!"

Twilight was amazed when all the other knights began to laugh. "Huh?" Troy walked up slowly and patted Twilight on the back. "That was AMAZING Twilight! You know who Amzok is, right?" Twilight chuckled awkwardly. "I have no idea who he was." Troy laughed harder. "Amzok is the scourge of our community. NOBODY LIKES HIM! You and your friends just earned the support of the entire camp!" Twilight smiled.

Lyra walked up to Twilight. "What was that all about?" Twilight looked over to Lyra. "Oh hey Lyra. Nice sword. Where'd you get it?" Lyra shrugged. "Some creepy run down altar of some sorts." Troy walked over. "That there is a mighty fine blade. Let me see it?" Lyra shrugged and tossed it over. "Oof! And a might heavy, I might add!" Troy held it up. "With the right stuff, this blade can be really powerful."

Rainbow Dash trotted over. "That's all nice, but what about us? We want a cool weapon too!" Troy was suddenly surrounded with ponies. "Whoa! Calm down guys! Or gals. Gals?" Twilight nodded. "Gals. I'll get you some stuff. Just promise me one thing." The group nodded in agreement. "You need me to help me get materials. Making these things isn't cheap." All the ponies nodded and cheered.
