I could have chosen the royal castle, but this is merely a small village. I had arrived, and just outside of the village.
This village had apparently chosen not to have a city wall. Maybe they knew it is pointless, for a Griffon, since you would attack from the air. The detail that I'm not a Griffon but a Pony may have escaped them. I would have been forced to blast wholes in their poor wall, unless they freely let me in, but why would they?
“Load your cannons!” I ordered, looking as they all loaded their cannons, with swift joy.
“Line up and fire!” I ordered, seeing how they followed this order too.
Even if the canon is small, when I have one hundred of them fired in unison, it sure was an effect loud enough, even for the Griffons.
As early as it was, they are stirring, first in a distracted manner, turning more curious as they woke up. Then they got worried as the loud noises continued, and they started to recognise what the sounds are.
“Cease fire!” I commanded, and quiet enveloped the surroundings, since the thunderous noise of my cannons was silenced.
“Beam, beam beam!” I commanded, and all beamed in the manner I had instructed them before.
This was sure to worry the Griffons even further. Thrice blinding light from my false dawn had been seen on the horizon, and the thunderous noises from impacts seconds later.
I gave off a maniacal laughter for a moment, knowing they were all laughing with me. This was sure to spoil the appetite of the poor Griffons. I guess the scene did amuse me for a moment.
Now confused screams were heard from within the community. Most of them had stirred from sleep by now, and none was left sleeping for much longer at this point. Just the way I had intended.
“Beam, beam, Beam!” I commanded, and we all hit the village with a new series of beams, shaking buildings once more, leaving a stark after image for all to see.
Only this time, a few cracks was starting to show on the walls taking the most hits.
Just after the last rumble had died down, the sky is once more black, the stars twinkling slightly, as if they were fearful, not daring to reclaim the night sky?
My timing had been just right, the light soon coming up as Celestia was rising the sun. That's the sign they had all been awaiting. I had given them just enough time to take to the sky in order to scout the field where I was standing.
“Beam, beam beam!” I responded as I spotted the first few Griffons on the sky.
If they had expected the air to be a strength, they had been mistaken this time. My doubles soon hitting them left and right. Each beam knocked a Griffon out of the sky, until the sky was clear, once more.
I hear the old 'Smile Song' in my head, over and over, though my mood isn't the commonly seen, and my mane hang flat against my head. Something needs to be done, and I think I know where to pick up the supplies and support for what I had in mind.
On a day like this, I wish I could have skipped breakfast, but I know only too well how much I need the energy, soon enough.
Besides, I could only leave the place for so long, or things would start to fall apart. I had my breakfast planned, a batch of Cup-Cakes. I ended up taking my time, enjoying them one by one, washing them down with Orange Juice. Now I could go.
Naturally it is still dark as I leave my home after breakfast, which is just as well, the forest was dark, even midday, and just as mean. Getting where I had to go in time, so I set of galloping, giggling all the while.
Once I reach my destination, I set off, securing the perimeter, before proceeding to the pond. Then I chanted the rhyme, calling forth the army of doubles. One by one, slapping a collar on each and everyone of them, making me capable of knowing which of them is which. Even if it is a mere number, but there is no point in naming them, they are all just doubles of me.
Since they are doubles, I had to instruct them, but I did not give them the one thing that made me more than them, the one secret I had swiped at the castle. The magical blade.
“Just line up, one by one. I'll everything in a moment!” I told the first one, then repeated this to each and every one of them, until I had the entire army gathered.
Gathering ninety nine doubles take time, and I needed to instruct them firmly, making sure they were not running off, this time.
“Remember, beam beam beam. I need you to smile for me too!” I explained, smiling at them demonstratively, and gave them a sample of my 'beam, beam, beam', to make sure they knew what I mean.
“Beam, beam, beam!” they repeated in chorus, giving me the three beams as I had told them to.
“Here is the canon, it is fired like this!” I then explained, as I fired a shot with the canon, letting them see and understand how it is done.
I need them to know and understand everything. They would be useless, if they didn't understand what I wanted them to do. What I expected out of them.
“And don't forget to laugh!” I instructed sternly, and laughed at it all.
“Smile and laugh!” then responded in chorus, then fired their canons, just as I had explained.
“Beam, beam, beam!” I then intoned.
“Beam, beam, beam!” they responded in chorus, beaming as I had taught them.
“Okaly Dokely. The aim is spot on. Now it is time to go!” I pointed out as I opened up my rift, thus breaking the fourth wall.
They were quick to follow me through, lining up as I had told them to.
