My Little Pony: Return of the Guardians

////Nolan\\

I sat in the cockpit of The Avenger, poring over certain books on what these gems may look like. But nothing came up, not even the book that explained the gems. As I sat in the pilots seat Anise came up to me and sat in the chair next to me. Looking tired. "Gonna go to sleep anytime soon? We got a big day tomorrow." I nodded.

"We might not. I have no records on what these gems looked like. So, how do we even know what we are looking for. Let alone how to find them?" Anise sat back in her chair. Shaking her head. "So, the Darkness is chasing us. We are on the last six pieces of our weapon, and you lead us to a planet we have only ever heard of. Expecting this to be a walk in the park to get these gems that are supposedly the most powerful in the galaxy?"

"Pretty much, yea."

"Well, that's typical for you." I punched her lightly on the arm.

"Hey! Anise. I, not that bad, am I?"

"You have your moments. Like remember wh-"

"Nope, not gonna hear it." She smirked, "I swear, speak of that again and... uhm.... Nevermind."

"And uhm, what?" She pushed. I gave her a 'not even gonna talk' look and she shook her head lightly. "Go get some sleep, I can take watch."

"Thank you, Anise." She nodded and I got up from my chair. Stretching my stiff bones. "See you in the morning."

"See you in the morning."

////Celestia\\

That night Celestia flew over the Everfree with her alicorn sister, Luna. Twilight had told them that the ship landed near the Tree of Harmony. That would be where they met first. "So, Sister. Tell me more about those, Guardian's"

"Hm, I don't know where to start, Luna. They are bipedal, with almost no hair on them, minus their head. Which, on some has plenty of hair, is what they call it, and depending on the sex. Could be short or long. Some Females prefer their hair short, while some males prefer longer hair."

"And you said they are, unaging, Sister?"

"That is correct, yes"

"And, why are we looking for them?"

"I lost contact with them, some forty years ago. I feared the worst. But now that they are back. It seems that all the worrying I did was for nothing."

"You sound like you really cared for them, dear Sister" Celestia sighed, and looked at the fast moving forest beneath them, before looking to her sister, part of her ethereal mane covering one of her amethyst eyes. "I did, Sister. They helped me through so much, and helped me shape Equestria into what it is today. even helping solve the conflict between us and the Griffin Kingdom. They helped me get over losing you. Sister." Celestia, who now had tears in her eyes looked away from her sister to try and conceal her sadness that she felt, and even though they were back. She felt grief for the day they all of a sudden up and left. That grief was soon replaced with anger. They left her. After she had grown so accustomed to their company they all of a sudden disappeared? "We are approaching the Tree, Sister. Shall we land near?"

"You know what, Luna. I all of a sudden am not in such a rush to meet my old friends. Let us head back to the castle." Celestia dissipated from the air with a sudden popping noise. Luna following close behind.

////Nolan\\

"Noooolan" A voice invaded my dreams, pulling me from the deep slumber that I was in. "Nooolan, wakey wakey."

"Ugh, what do you want, Anise?"

"Time to get up there sleep head." She giggle while she poked me lightly in the stomach. "It's, 12:45PM" My eyes shot open.

"Really? 12:45? You couldn't have woken me up like.... 3 hours earlier?"

"Calm down, it's fine." I sucked in a breath, did she just say it was... Fine!?

"Fine? Fine!? I could have found us something of use! Something that would lead us to the gems and let us get our revenge on that bastard that killed our race!"

"Whoa man!" Anise put her hands up defensively, "I told ya that I would get on it, did I not? I got something of use." I perked up at that.

"You? Got something of use? I'll believe it when I see it." Anise just rolled her eyes.

"There is a castle, not too far from here. Built into the side of a mountain. From what I read from reports, a Princess lives there. Goes by the name of Celestia."

"I have heard the name before. But I do not know how she is relevant to what we seek."

"Nolan. This princess is said to be the most powerful alicorn in Equestria." She deadpanned

"Wait, back up. Alicorn? Equestria? Where did you learn this." Anise rubbed the back of her neck idly.

"Yea, there is a few things I learn't that I should probably tell you."

A couple hours later and a lot of. 'What the fuck' moments. I sat back in my pilot seat while Anise was shooting sponges out of her sword at Jane and when Jane would turn around she would look away and act as if nothing happened. I watched with a smirk as Anise loaded another sponge and took aim at Jane's head. Anise pulled the trigger and sent the sponge flying, hitting Jane square in the head and knocking her against the control panel. As she picked herself up, rubbing her head from the impact the turned on Anise. "Really Anise? What the hell?"

"I don't know what your talking about there, Jane."

"You know full well! You are the only one here that can shoot anything out of their weapon. It was funny the first few times but that," she gestured to her head." Was uncalled for"

"Well sorrrry for trying to have fun."

"Hey! That's my job!" Brad yelled from his seat across the cockpit.

"Can all of you like, shut up for five minutes?" Cole asked, "I am trying to beat this level on Angry Birds, and I need to focus." Cole went back to his iPad.

"You still play that old thing? We got that from the humans... How many years ago now?"

"Hey. This game is a classic!"

After five minutes of heated discussion if Angry Birds was a good game or not we finally came to a conclusion. Jane, who hates on everything that moves. (Party pooping bitch) thinks that Angry Birds is for kids. Of course she does! "Can we just, get on our way now?" I asked everyone. They all nodded. I spinned around in my chair and started up The Avenger there was a loud whirring noise which was replaced by a sound of flames shooting through a tube, as the engines fired up. Flicking a couple switches out Anti-Gravitational spheres on the bottom of the space craft started up and we were lifted abruptly off of the ground. "And we are off!" I pulled the wheel back and we pitched up, pushing a lever forward slightly we began to move forward at a reasonable pace. Right towards the castle on the side of the mountain.

"Why do all the little ponies run?" Brad asked as we lowered into a courtyard inside of Canterlot.

"Oh, that's an easy question. We are a big flying behemoth, that they have probably never seen in their life time and they are freaked the fuck out. Am I right or am I right?" Cole deadpanned as I lowered us further into the courtyard.

"That was rhetorical, peewee."

"Don't call me that"

"Peewee"

"Don't"

"Peewee!"

"Do-"

"Peewee!!"

"Can you both just shut up?" I shouted as Anise and Jane were both laughing. "Now, unbuckle yourselves. We gotta meet with the Princess."

"Don't you mean, Princesses?" A voice answered from the door to the cockpit. When I looked two. Regal looking alicorn's, as I have known to call them. As they each had a set of wings and a horn, stood in the door way. One white and one a dark blue. The white one had a multi coloured mane that seemed to flow in the non existent breeze while the blue one. Had a starry mane that also flowed, but was smaller than the white one, who I assumed was Celestia.

////Celestia\\

"Don't you mean Princesses?" Luna challenged as she looked over the five Guardians that were before them. "He did mean princesses, right, Tia?" Luna whispered to her sister who only chuckled a little. "No, I did mean Princess. I only know of one." Before the Guardian could ask, or speak anything further. Celestia had to push. "So, are you the leader of this group?" The mare asked as she pointed a hoof at the one sitting in, what she remembered was labelled a 'pilots seat'. "You could say that, yes." The man replied as Celestia trotted slowly up to him.

"Then, I suppose you don't mind if I do this." As soon as she finished the sentence she hoof slapped Nolan, hard. "Well, now that I got that out of my system. We can talk." She smiled.
