   Sheared walked out of his office and made a left turn and made his way to a staircase, Quick and Axel both followed unsure of what to expect.

   "Where are you taking us" Quick asked as they made their down the stone-slabbed staircase. Axel looked at Quick and shook his head indicating for him to be quiet.

   "You'll need some 'gear' for you journey wont you?" Sheared said as he opened a small door at the bottom of the staircase. The door led to a massive spiral staircase. it was almost pitch black but there was a faint light coming from the very bottom of the staircase. Sheared teleported to the bottom and Axel as well, leaving Quick to fly down.

   "Dont you think thats a bit of a waste?" Quick said looking up.

   "Of what?" Sheared said curiously.

   "Stone, I mean you put so much detail into the staircase, and no one seems to use it".

   "Only Assassin Officials are meant to be down here, and 12 out of 36 of them are Earth ponies".

   Axel was about to join in on the conversation but before he could Sheared had walked over to a large metal door with a bolted stone border. He took out a small highly detailed knife out of his uniform and slide it into a small slot in the door, and then turned. The door slide to the side and he took the knife out again. Both Quick and Axel stared in amazement as the door gave way to a massive armory.

   "Not bad eh?" Sheared said proudly.

   Quick and Axel walked through the meter wide doorway, their faces still filled with amazement.

   "It's... It's" Axel began in a trembling voice, he was unable to finish.

   Sheared nodded in satisfaction. "This is the Assassin's Armory Vault. Over 500,000 different hoof crafted weapons all fully loaded and tested. Your time has come to pick your own. This will be your first important mission and you must be prepared. That means a full layer or armor, one or more ranged weapons, one sword, a new uniform- Sheared looked at Quicks hood and smiled slightly, -, two small weapons and many many other things.

   "May I?" Quick said smiling.

   "Course'!" Sheared said laughing.

   Both Quick and Axel ran further into the room running around the different shelves of weapons and armor.

   "Oh and before I loose in here make sure to come back to this spot, I have suprise!"

   Axel and Quick both met at a point in between the ranged weapons and the armor shelves.

   "What are you gona pick?" Axel asked

   "I'm thinking speed, strike fast ya' know?"

   "These weapons are going to be our main line of defence you know, I mean we were gonna need to depend on these for our lives.

   "I know, but I still wanna make my mark when I perform an assassination, like a signature only in a weapon form".

   Axel sighed and made his way to the swords shelf. Meanwhile Quick had changed his mind. He had decided stealth was his best option. He didn't know much about Equestria but he knew about some of the main towns, Mainhattan for example, a bustling urban city. He'd need to be able to blend in with the crown and become invisible at the same time. Quick looked around for a fire-arm. His eyes were fixed upon a matching set of ranged weapons. A short and small cross bow and a flintlock pistol. Both had a steel frame and were reddish in colour. The border was a yellowy colour. Quick picked both up and put them in his saddle bag.

Half an hour later

   Axel heard a loud call coming from the entrance. He made his way back there only to find Sheared and Quick standing waiting for him.

   "Empty your bags" Sheared said happily.

   Axel and Quick both emptied their saddle bags on crimson coloured pillows. Axel had chosen a bow and a duel lock pistol, a short sword and  a few knives. Same with Quick, nothing too fancy.

   "Not bad choices" Sheared said "Now, I told you of a surprise didn't I?" He set two other saddle bags down beside him.

   Quick and Axel both picked them up. Quick had gotten a pair of hidden blades disguised as black dyed leather gloves, a new uniform and most strangely an Iron bladed tomahawk. Axel had again got two arm bracers, a new uniform but this time a beautifully crafted Dagger.

   Before the two ponies could say anything Sheared said

"Now, get changed, we have to get yous to Equestria, meet me at my office after you get some sleep".
