Pony's Creed, Rainbow Revolution

   It had been a long day. Sleep was the only thing that made both Quick and Axel leave the armory and retreat to their beds. They made their way up the stairs and outside the Minor Hall doors. It had started snowing heavily and the trail back up to the dorms was buried under a thick 20cm layer of snow.

   "Is it cold in Equestria?" Quick asked as he trudged through the snow.

   "I dont really know, I mean, I haven't really been there have I? Axel replied looking strait at the dorms, "After all I think it would depend on what city we are in, Equestria is a big place and it stretches from north to south, there are deserts and frozen mountain ranges".

   Quick was about to reply but they had reached the dorms. Axel moved forward to open the door but when he grasped the handle and pulled nothing happened.

   "Let me try" said Quick tiredly. The door still stayed firm.

   "Its locked" Axel said gloomily.

   "Bloody hell!" Quick shouted. "Lets go round to our window, I think the locks broken".

   They made their way further along the building.

   "Our rooms on the second floor, you wanna climb?" Axel asked Quick who was already annoyed enough.

   Quick laughed a little as he flew up to the window, he looked back at Axel who was looking shocked beyond belief.

   "Aren't you meant to be the smart one? Quick laughed.

   Axel didn't reply, he was more focused on the wall leading up to their dorm room, there was a rope leading from the ground right up into the dorm room. Quick opened the window further and took the crossbow out of his saddlebag.

   "I dont think thats a good idea Quick" Axel said nervously.

   Quick ignored him and flew into the room slowly. He made his way to a light switch and flicked it on. The room had been trashed. Holes in the walls and bullet shells littered the room, yet... no blood. Quicks hand had started shaking a bit. He say something written on the mirror. The words Codex, all powerful, Codex, almighty, Codex, always watching The word were written in a sticky black ink that had stained part of the carpet as well. He read the words over and over again, it must have been his 12th time re reading when something caught the corner of his eye. It was another pegasus, the pony had a Codexian uniform and with a dark red body and a dark yellow mane. He was holding some kind of dagger and was approaching Quick slowly.

   Quick turned round and fired an arrow, it hit the desk lamp beside Axel's bed. The pony lashed out at Quick with his dagger whilst quick made an attempt to butt the figure with the end of his crossbow. The pony dodged Quick's attempts. He grabbed Quick and pushed him against a small table. Quick hadn't noticed it earlier but the pony seemed to be wearing a mask, It had a black base with a red set of eyes, 1 seemed to be glowing at him. Quick made an attempt to dodge his attack but it was too late. The pony had stabbed a diagonal line through Quicks right wing. Quick screamed in agony and tried to free himself desperately from the pony's. grip. He managed to free 1 of his arms and reached for the arrow that had hit the lamp. He got a grip and pulled it out of the wall. The pony didn't seem to notice as he tried to stab Quick's throat. Quick jammed the arrow through the side of the pony's head, His corpse fell ontop of Quick. Quick pushed him under the bed and held his wing. It had began bleeding badly.

   Before Quick thought of what to do he wondered why Quick hadn't helped him. He slowly realised that Quick was still on the ground, 2 stories below. Quick ran for the window and jumped out expecting to glide down. He fell... two ponies, both wearing masks and in uniform were trying to put a sack over Axel's head. Quick launched for one of them and slammed one of the pony's head against the walls several time. The remaining pony had caught Quick off guard and pinned him on a thick layer of snow. The pony drew a blade to Quick's neck but what came next came both unexpected and surprising.

   Sheared had fired a shot at the pony from about 20 feet away. This time however the corpse fell to the side of Quick and not on him.

   Axel tooked the sack off of his head. He was very pale and looked as if to be in shock.

   "You ok?" Sheared asked

   Quick didn't pay attention to Sheared and was looking at the Minor Hall, it was in flames and part of the roof had caved in.

   "Grab your brother, I need to get yous out of here".

   Quick pulled Axel up and followed Sheared to a small track with a few small carts. There was nothing more than 5 seats, a storage trunk and a break at the front.

   "Are these safe?" Quick asked

   "Were not sure, yous will be the first to test them" Sheared said quickly. They heard gunshots not to far away. "We need to hurry, load you things into the back and lets go".

   Quick pulled Axel into the middle seat with Sheared in the front and Quick behind him, they made their way to wherever the hell they were going.

   About an hour later they reached a small coastal town.

   They had stopped in a small harbor. with a few ponies waiting in line to get on a small wooden boat.

   "Put on your uniforms and equip your weapons" Sheared said, "Don't let anyone follow you when you get off and make your way to a small village called Ponyville. There will be a few more assassins to greet you".

   Quick and Axel both nodded, they were too tired to talk. They made their way to the boat when Axel stopped,

   "Thank you..."

   Quick looked back at Sheared. He nodded and got on the boat, payed the sailor and prayed that they'd make it to Equestria.

They were only getting started...
