Night Shift

Chapter 5: Air Veribird

The walk back to the tree library was pretty uneventful, with the exception of all the screaming ponies when 2 aliens and 4 robots came marching into town.

“Alright so, the princess would like to meat you 6, robot things included.”

Twilight said, Fluttershy left with RD to check her wound, but the doctors said it was already cleaned and bandaged, turns out Shy’s medical skills weren't shit.

     Mike pulled a radio out of his backpack, where this stuff came from he never will know.

It looked like one of the radios from fallout 3 or NV. Mike turned a few knobs as the ponies sat in silence, Kyle and the anamatronics practically deactivated. Rainbow was giving mike the stink eye as he sat in a chair across from her.

‘Hardly spoke to folks around him didn’t have too much too say…’

“Ah nice, love this song.” Mike said as he hummed to the tune of ‘Big Iron’.

“Can you turn that off? If really annoying.” Rainbow said, she didn't understand the majesty of the radio.

“I dunno dash, it sounds pretty good to me.” AJ said. Figures, country for country. (or western.)

‘There was 40 feet between em’ when they start to make the play…’

“Theres a mare who knows her music.” Mike said, putting on an ‘eat shit’ face to Rainbow.

“So… How does that work?” Twilight asked, scooting over to Mike.

“I'm not really sure, but I know back were I’m from theres huge radio towers, which broadcast music and stuff to radios like this. But there are no radio towers on this planet to my knowledge.”

‘I love those dear hearts, and gentle people…’

“What a nice song.” Fluttershy whispered, but loud enough so we could hear.

“Don’t thank me, than probably dead Bob Crosby!” Mike said, as he stood up, placing the radio were he sat.

“Got anything to drink? This waitings soooooooooo boring.”

“Tell me about it…” Dash mumbled under her breath.

“In the kitchen around the corner.” Twilight said.

Mike walked into the kitchen as Spike came down the stairs.

“Hey Twilight…” Then he saw sleeping beauty and the 4 robots. “WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!” Spike practically yelled.

“Calm down Spike, there not from around here. There's another one in the kitchen.”

Twilight said, calming Spike down.

“There's an alien in the kitchen?” Spike said, looking over at the kitchen.

“Yeah, but he's a bit irittab-“

“FUCK!” Mike stubbed is toe.

“Oh wow.” Spike said.

Mike came tumbling into the library's entrance.

“FUCKINGSHITASSHOLEDICKBALLSSHIT!” Mike was holding his right foot, oh god the pain.

“Hey Mike, theres a kid in here.” Twilight said. Mike looked up and stopped swearing.

“Hey! I'm not a kid, I'm just small.” Spike said, he never liked being called a kid or a baby.

“Oh hey kid how ya doin?! Good? Okey wonderful!” Mike said as he stood up and ran over to his bag and radio, knocking it off the chair in the process.

“FUCK THIS TOE!” Mike said as he grabbed his backpack and fell out the front door.

All the ponies were laughing (including spike) except for Fluttershy, who went to help Mike.

“You're all assholes, except for you.” He said pointing at Fluttershy, who blushed a bit.

“Here's a present.” Mike said as he reached into his backpack.

     When Mike found what he was looking for, he asked Fluttershy what her favourite Anamatronic there was. She pointed a hoof at Freddy, who's eyes lit up a bit upon hearing his name, but he didn't move afterwords.

He grabbed the Freddy’s plush is out of the bag and tossed it too Fluttershy.

“Oh, thank you! He so cute…” Fluttershy said as she lowered herself to the floor and examined the Freddy plushie.

knock knock knock

Mike put his hand over his mouth to sound like a radio and said.

“LAPD, Open up!” Then started the laugh.

“Royal guard, were here for the um… Aliens?” One of the guards asked through the door.

Twilight went and opened the door, allowing the 5 guards in, all staring directly at the Mike, who was standing up.

“So, us and Mike? Or just Mike and his friends?” Twilight asked.

“Mike?” On of the guards asked.

Twilight pointed a hoof at Mike, dawned in all his armour and security cap.

“And me merry bunch.” Mike said in a pirate voice, stepping back to reveal sleeping Kyle and all 4 of the anamatronics, who must be charging or something.

“Woah.” One of the guards said.

“Yeah, our reactions at first too.” Twilight said.

“Alright so, let's all how were getting to ‘Canterlot’ what a stupid name.” Mike said as he stepped outside, followed by the anamatronics.

The medium sized golden chariot wasn’t gonna do.

“This shit ain't gonna do.” Mike said, if this is what the Equestrian military used for transport, how much gold existed in the ground?

A guard in the generic armour stepped forwards, but his had some medals on it.

“Well, what do you have in mind?” The guard said, in a sassy ass voice.

“A Vertibird.” This is gonna be good.

“A Verti-what?” Stupid little pony…

     Mike took out a small radio from the ‘Enclave commander’ mod from Fallout NV.

Looked at the ground, and activated the Vertibird pick-up.

The distant sound of a Vertibird filled the sky, the ponies got on edge as they saw the hugebmet contraption flying towards them, deploying its landing gear, and stopping.

“WHAT IN THE WIDE WIDE WORLD LF EQUESTRIA WAS THAT?!” The guard pony yelled over the sound of the propellers.

“A VERTIBIRD BITCH! GET IN THE AIR AND LEAD THE WAY! EVERYONE ELSE ON ME!”

All the guards got on the chariot, as Mike and the anamatronics (+ Kyle) and the 6 elements on in the vertibird. Mike closed the door and sat in the captain seat.

“This is you’re captain speaking, sit the fuck down and don’t get up until you have to go ahed.”

Mike said in a generic airplane captain voice.

“Explosives, check.”

“Gatling laser ammo, check.”

“Fuel, 100% and not dropping.”

“Alright hope you're seated, this is gonna be a bumpy ride.”

Mike said, let's hope he remembers XRE controls.

“I think I want to get off now…” All the ponies said in unison.

“This is you’re captain speaking, you're all pussies.”

Mike flipped on his speaker and asked one of the guards on the chariot for coordinates of the castle, then he marked them on a map of Equestria and handed it to Mike through the little slit in the Vertibird.

“BYE BYE FUCKERS!” Mike yelled at the guards as he took off, hearing all the ponies in the back yelling.

“This is you’re captain speaking, Canterlot in sight.”

Mike said.

“NO WAY! It takes like an hour to get to canterlot for- oh you’re right we are here.” Pinkie pie said. First time she's spoke in a long time. The guards out in the chariot landing pads looked terrified of the Enclave monstrosity that is the vertibird.

Mike flipped on the speakers.

“VERTIBIRD 123 FUCK YOU, REQUESTING PERMISSION TO LAND!”

Princess celestia heard a loud constant whirring noise coming from the landing pads, wich were almost across the whole castle.

“I'm going to go check this out, sorry everypony, day court is over for today!”

The angry mumurs of spoiled nobles echoed through the throne room.

Celestia got off the throne and started to walk to the landing lads, whirring getting louder as well as an very loud voice.

“…REQUESTING PERMISSION TO LAND!”

The guard flanking celestia went and opened the door for her, as she stepped out the noticed the huge flying contraption, and Twilights face in one of the large slits on the front of the machine.

In order to be heard over the machine, she had to use IT.

“PERMISSION GRANTED!” The royal canterlot voice boomed across to air into the machine.

It lowered itself down to the ground, deploying wheels and rolling to a stop, eventually the 2 propellors stopped and the door on the machines right opened, with the elements of harmony tumbling out.

“Thank your for flying air Vertibird, please come again!” Said an unknown voice from inside the machine as 2 slim legs peeked out of the small door, eventually the whole form stepped out, this must have been one of the creatures from the rift.

“I'm never flying again…” Twilight said as she balanced herself out.

Then she noticed the princess.

“Oh my, sorry princess.” Twilight apologized all her friends did.

The aliens was eye level with the Princess, it stuck out its arm and opened up its claw, looking like it wanted a hoof shake.

“Hi, so you're the princess. Nice ta’ meet you, I'm Mike Schmidt.”

“Princess Celestia of Equestria, its always a pleasure to meet new a new species, especially one that can talk.”

And they shook, hand and hoof.
