You were excited to be called by the commander himself: Shining Armor. You may be new, but you learned quicker than anypony has before! You learned how to adjust to their customs quickly, and pretty much either became friends or enemies with your fellow comrades within a few days. Trust me, you only been here for two days and you already get to be called.
You walk through the big open doors to see Celestia, Shining Armor, and Twilight. "Oh! He's here! Right on time too." Twilight says.
You bow, hoping to now offend any pony there. "Oh, please, my little pony, it's quite alright." Celestia says. You sit up straight and both Twilight and Shining Armor nodded. Your Captain/Commander trots up towards you with a smile. "Uh, I'm sorry, but I didn't quite catch your name. I tried to ask you before, but Celestia called me. What was it?" He asked.
Enter Name:
"Oh, uh, I'll just call you Anon for now." Shining Armor says sheepishly. You grunt in annoyance. Why can't anyone remember your name correctly? Isn't your name--?
"I called you here for a reason, Anon. Since I'll be gone helping the Crystal Empire, you will watch Twilight Sparkle and the as she writes a repo got it?" Your Captain said, ruining your train of thought. "But first, do you know how to fight?"

"Alright, to move, you press the arrow keys. Press the Up Arrow to go up, Down Arrow to go down, and so on." Shining explains.
"I think he/she knows how to move already, Shining." Twilight says.
"Just making sure."
You move as told: Up, Down, Left and Right. "Now, you will always carry a weapon on you. Use the Q button to attack, W to use magic, and E for special." He explains again.
"Theirs a special?" Twilight asked.
"Always."
You don't honestly know what their talking about, but you do attack, use magic, and did a small special. Shining nods and walks up to you. "Now, I want you to do a combo on me." He says.
You do as he told, and you hit him with your spear. Once you did, he stumbled back, then you sweeping the floor with your leg, making him lose balance, and you finishing it off with a buck to the face. He falls back, a nose bleeding. "Shining! You okay?!" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, he's quite the fighter." He says, wiping off the blood off his face. He gets up, him stumbling a bit. "When you do a combo, sometimes your a little exposed, so always keep a eye out for those exposions." He says.
"You do know that's not a word, right?" Twilight asked.
"Heh. Yeah, sure, whatever." He says. "Now, try to use some basic fire magic."
You put your hooves together, and preformed a light of fire. You may be an earth pony, but theirs more than meets the eye. You also whistle a bit of fire through your mouth. Shining Armor nods and says, "Now, try some ice magic."
You hold up a hoof, and your hoof starts to become either a light blue shade or pure white. You breath out a bit of snow, and Twilight nods. "Can you try a bit of regular magic too?" Twilight asked.
You nod, and you use a bit of your own magic. Twilight adores your magic, and Shining nods. "Now the Special. If you hold W and E, you can preform a Magic Special. Q and E can preform a Special Attack. E alone can preform a Custom Attack." Your Captain explains.
You preform each one at a time, one stronger than the other, but Custom Attack didn't work. You shrug at the last one, and Celestia smiles. "If you want a custom attack, go to your menu button, and click on Customs. For now, go with the Great Aether attack." She says.
You nod, and your entire body goes into flames. Shining stands in front of you, prepared for your blows. You uppercut your Captain, sending him into the air. You follow in pursuit, and manage to preform seven swift hits against your Captain, and finally send him into the ground with a hard kick to the back. You fall from the air, and slide back. Your Captain stumbles his way up, now the Princesses worried about him. "Shining!!" Twilight yelled.
"I'm fine, Twiliy. He's just...he's really strong." He said. Twilight helped him up, Princess Celestia ready to speak.
"I must inform you, Anon, Twilight is going to learn about a friendship report. You wish to go with?" Celestia asked.
You nod. It's much better than doing nothing. "Also, Nightmare Moon is about to bring total darkness across Equestria. I hope you find the Elements of Harmony and reform her. Do you understand?"
You nod your head in response, eager to go on an adventure from this boring place. "My young pony, be wary of your power on magic, you may be an earth pony, but you might hurt some pony, okay?" Celestia asked.
You nod, and Twilight gestures you to follow. "Come on! We gotta find them before it's to late." She says. You follow her in response, and your excitement overwhelms you.
You leave the hall, barely able to contain your excitement, and Twilight giggling from it. "Your really excited, huh?" She asked.
You nod, hoping to get on that train. "You! Guard!" You hear. You turn to see--oh crap it's Blueblood.
"Blueblood, what do you want?" Twilight asked.
"That guard should be at his post. Not confirmed 20 minutes ago, I believe?"
"My friend was called by my brother himself, Shining Armor. He's/She's tasked to come with us to stop something."
"Really? Well, let's see. I'll call him right now."
Blueblood decided to walk right past you with a huff. "Why do you care so much about that?!" Twilight asked in frustration.
"He/She was suppose to stand guard for a royal meeting, and he did not show up, humiliating me in front of the meeting." He said with anger.
Worth it.
You try to compromise with him, only to be punched in the face by the Prince himself. You stumble back from pain as Twilight gasp in shock. "Anon!!" You hear, only to growl at Blueblood.
"Growl at me all you want, you deserve that, and you know it!" Blueblood yelled. You really wanted to fight him, but you wanted to be the good man/girl you are.
Be the Good Man/Girl you are.
All you did was take a deep breath, and walked away. "I hope you learned something, Anon. Don't get in my way." He says. He walks away, anger clouding you. Twilight wraps an arm around you and says, "Ignore him. He's just...special, in his own way." She says.

FIGHT!!
You swing back, hitting him square in the face. He stumbles back, shocked. "A guard hitting a prince?! Well, no wonder you were shunned away."
That...peeved you off. You swing once again, but him dodging the punch. He tries to counter attack, but you block the blow, and you knee him in the gut. He falls back with pain on his stomach. You look at him with true anger, but he stares back with rage. All you did was roll your eyes and left, him stumbling in pain. "You...you think you won? Hehe...not yet. You'll see." You hear.
You and Twilight continue to walk, but Twilight sighs. "I understand why you did that, but that wasn't smart. Your lucky you didn't do that in front of my brother, or else you would've have been gone." She says.

You reach the train, half of the anger gone. Twilight Sparkle nods at the conductor, and you nod as well. You take a seat on the train, and she sits next to you. You yawn, and you close your eyes, exhaustion getting to you.
This might be a one crazy adventure.
Act 1: Scene 1- Everfree Forest
You slowly open your eyes. Must've fell asleep on the way to Ponyville. You look to see that your on the train, and Twilight looks at You with a smile. "Oh, your awake! Glad to see your still here." She says, slightly pushing you. The train stops, and You get out with Twilight. You see the town full of ponies, and a very large tree house that slightly disturbs You. Twilight gets out, and You walking out with her. "Welcome to Ponyville, Anon! We can take a tour if you like, or we can head straight to my place and discuss the issue with the rest. Your choice." She says.
Let's take a tour!!
Twilight nodded in response. "Alright then. Let's head around. I suppose you know where Sugarcube Corner is, right?" She asked. You look at her like she just asked the dumbest question she ever asked. "Oh! Right...your new. Um...I'll get you something to eat then. You stay here!" Twilight says.
She ran off into whatever, but you can't help but look around. Nice, colorful, and pretty too. Wait a minute...theirs a WEAPON SHOP?!?!
AWESOME!!
You run over there like a child in a candy store and barge in. The bell is heard and you look at the Swords, Scythes, Bows, and Daggers. "Oi, what are you staring at?" asked the cashier. You pointed at your favorite weapon as he chuckles. He makes a 'tsk' noise before he continues. "Dat, their, ain't for ordinary ponies like you. And your just a regular Earth pony/Pegasus/Unicorn. This takes skills you can't even handle." He said.
You keep on smiling anyway, but you once again, point to your favorite weapon. "Are you even listen to me?! These weapons will kill ya!" He said, slamming his hoof onto the counter. You become angry as you tell him your a royal guard. He quickly panics, but sighs. "Don't say I didn't warn ya." He said, now handing you the weapon.
You wield the weapon in your mouth and swing it around. Obviously having control of the weapon, you smirk at the pony in front of you. "Not bad, not bad at all mate. You ain't bad at all. Come by my shops if you want more, K? I'll see if I find even more weapons for ya." He says.
You leave the store as you put the weapon on your back/pocket as Twilight appears out of nowhere. "There you are!! I've been looking all over for you!" She says, holding two cupcakes within her magic grip. You explain to her that you went to the weaponry and got yourself and awesome weapon. Her worried expression becomes sad and her ears flop. "Oh...that's great." She said with a sad tone.
You ask her what's wrong, but she denies everything. She tells You to follow, and you can't help but follow.

I'm bored, let's just get to the action.
Twilight nods, but she quickly stops. "Wait! Be right back!" She says as she ran off into a store. You look around to see a few ponies take a quick glimpse of you, but went back to their buisness. You see Twilight come in with your preferred weapon as she smiles. "Sorry, this is all I can get you. I didn't have enough bits on me. But here!" She says, handing you the weapon.
It was a very cheap weapon, and something even a foal can hold. You shrug as you had worse and she smiles. "Thanks! I knew you'd understand!" Twilight says, giving you a small hug. You return the favor, but hearing she's a princesses and all, she could've done better. Just your opinion.

You head to Twilight's house, and you realize, theirs books everywhere. And you thought her being a librarian was just a myth. "Welcome to my home! Hope you like it!" She says with a big smile.
You look around, as nothing/something has your interest. It's not good, but it's not bad either. You nod and she smiles. "I knew you would! Now, we gotta check the list." She says.
You nod as you take a seat on the floor. "First, we go to Sweet Apple Acres. Then, we go to a Boutique, and then to the Summer Sun Celebration. Okay?" She asked.
You nod and you both head out.
