So, you want you to  hear another story, eh? The one with guns, randomness , and badness!.

If not, too bad - I’m telling you anyway.

First, there was a Vault: an alien prison opened with a mystical key. To the ponies who opened it, the Vault was just container of tentacles and nothing valuable. so, they vanished into the wasteland, certain that the Vault held no treasure at all. They were wrong. The Vault's opening triggered the growth of Eridium, a priceless alien element. Soon, the rare and valuable mineral emerged all across Pandora.

It's appearance attracted many including, the Hyperion corporation. They came to Pandora to mine Eridium, and bring order to the savage  planet and through their excavations, and Hyperion uncovered evidence of an even better and stronger Vault.

Their leader vowed to find it - to use its power to civilize the Borderlands, once and for all. But Hyperion weren't the only ones searching for the next Vault's alien power. The call of danger and loot is not so easily resisted. Certain warriors came to Pandora in droves to uncover its hidden secrets.

Some would call them adventurers. Others call them fools. But, I... call them Vault Hunters. Our Story begins with them, and with a pony named Handsome Discord... Eyup! The story begins here.

A couple weeks ago, Twilight sparkle and her friends got an invitation to come to learn the about the new mineral that only grows on Pandora, Eridium. Twilight, of course accept it and got a trip to a new planet for the first time. Well, from what the poster said in the front of the train station before they got on a train, it said "Don't worry, there will no problem, you just need a gun, some bombs and a account for the New-u station and you will be fine ."

Now, Twilight and her friends are on a train ride to a city called Opportunity, a high tech place that was made by... Discord.

Still, uncomfortable about helping someone who have try to take over Equestria and cause ponies to go into a chaos state, and failed both times, one by Twilight and her friends. Why in world or universes will he need help from the ponies who turned him back to stone?

Applejack, a bright orange pony cowgirl who wears a brown cowboy hat, was looking out the window seeing...odd thing of Pandora, a grey dog like creature that can split mouth in four different directions, a black planet that acts like a cactus but had natural electricity, and headless flying meat birds. She turns around and in front of her was her other friends, the rainbow mane and cray colored Pegasus, rainbow dash who was looking outside the window. Her fabulous white unicorn friend, she was having a nice sip of tea from a pink glass tea cup. Her pink party animal friend, Pinkie pie, who was juggling 6 balls while riding a unicycle and while reading a book about Erduim. Got to learn while doing other cool stuff.

“Why are we on Pandara again?” She asked to Twilight sparkle, her bookworm and a student of Princess Celstia  who was looking at the invitation by Princess Celestia nervous about being on a new planet.

Twilight turns her head to Applejack and sights. “It’s not Pandara, it’s Pandora and we here by Princess Celestia orders to research the new ore that’s only in Pandora.” Twilight answers her question.

“Pandora, Pandara same thing.” Applejack replied back in her voice. Twilight  looks at the notes that Princess Celestia send to her. The Eridium is a purple material a lot like some rare diamonds on Equestria, they are very mysterious. The investigation is still going on so Twilight was the perfect pony for investigations for unknown things. Twilight moves away the notes under the other pieces of paper that Princess Celestia sended. One was to bring a list of 5 things.

One was a Wonderbolt cloaking machine that is used in fights to confuse enemies while being in battle . Which Rainbow dash got from the Wonderbolt training, But since she cared more about her friends she left and she kept the machine.

The next item was Pinkie Pie’s prototype machine, this party cannon had two modes. Party mode, the mode where the cannon shoots confetti and other party decorations. The second mode is a defensive mode to kill enemies with crystal that are created by a diamond that can be broken but can’t be destroyed, it will slowly create of itself again.  The cannon had a microphone that looks like it just came from Five night at Freddy’s.

Next, was Rarity’s Rainbow colored gem piece that she found while mining for gem for dresses that was requested by a customer. The gem is very special because it will glow when Rarity picks it up with magic and it sometime shake while in on the ground. But Rarity use it for a good luck charm.

The other, is Applejack’s Rodeo ropes, she uses during shows and to save Ponyville by cows and other monsters.

The last one is Twilight’s book: The Sirens book. The book were made by ponies called the sirens, they had special powers to either save someone or to kill someone. But they are a dying race and not many ponies have seen or heard much about them. The book had spells that the sirens written down.

“I am wondering why she wants us to bring these weapons? Is Pandora that dangerous?” Twilight asks Applejack.

“Maybe it because we are meeting Discord and we might need something to defend ourselves, if things get out of hoof.” Applejack guess trying her best to give Twilight the best answer.

"I guess." Twilight said as shurgs her shoulders, she let out a sigh and look at her notes again. But the train jumped from hitting hard. The notes jumped into the air and slowly descend down to the floor.

Black smoke starts to quickly appear from the front of train car. *Crash!* A loud noise came from above the car that Twilight and her friends were in, scaring them except for the rainbow maned and cray color pegasus: Rainbow dash. “Well, that doesn’t sound good.” The purple and white pony: Rarity said with concern.

“I will check it out.” Rainbow dash said as she opens the window behind Twilight and jumped out of the window. The train had rockets connected to it and she had to catch up to it. She was faster when she open her wings and control her stability on to center level. She pushed herself to catch up to the train, she pull her wings upwards to get a higher altitude. Next, she dives down gaining a huge amount of speed and heading towards the train. Quickly, the weather started to change, because they have made it to a climate that is all ice and snow. Causing the train to move a little slower than it speed in the desert.

So, Rainbow dash landed on the car that had her friends inside. On top of the train car was a flaming, destroyed car with no tires or drivers.

“Weird, How can a car get on top of this train?” She ask herself quietly.

Inside the car with Twilight and her other 4 friends. They heard stomping coming from the two sides of the car. A door on the right side was quickly and roughly opened, three metal moving yellow robots with arms and legs were walking on side the train car with something pointed at them, a gun. “Are those discord’s robots?” Rarity asks nervous.

“Yes.” Twilight answers scared. A poster over the robots that used to say “Welcome, Vault Hunters” with Discord smiling while looking at them had slid off the poster placement and another was under it.

It said “To your doom” with a small words under it saying (Nothing personal). Discord is still smiling, this time with a evil smile and with fire in the background.

“It was a trap!” The pink pony: Pinkie said.

Pinkie quickly looked through her saddlebag and grabbed her Prototype party cannon which, it is in a metal plate form and threw it onto the floor. The plate quickly unfolded itself and transform into a turret. It stick to the floor, the cannon had a spinning, long pointed double barrel, next to the barrel is box filled with sharp crystals, it is pink, it had a pink laser sight, and it had bunnies and rainbows stickers all around the cannon. The cannon pointed to the robots and fried the crystals quickly. The first robot got about 7 crystals inside of it before it fell to the floor and never got back up. The next three fell by only three shots.

“I forgot to name this cannon, I think I will call it Cobra Cannon!” Pinkie said with a evil grin on her face. Pinkie the Cannon Mistress.

Rarity quickly digs through her saddle and found her Rainbow gem. She used a little magic, the gem reacted and the gem glowed. The gem moved out of her magic and fell on to metal floor which it grew on the spot it landed. Like a plant on steroids, it grew quickly. The gem had turn into a big diamond sticking upwards. It had a blue color, it was as tall as the Pinkie’s cannon, it was a spike that had curved arrows that was had sparks of electricity on the left side and flames of fire on the right side. It created an aura that only went a few steps away from the diamond. One robot fires it’s gun at the group but the bullet was blocked from the aura and the bullet was turned into dust.

The Diamond electric side start to glow and sparked even more.The spark quickly shot out of the arrow and went towards the robot that shot at it, at of a speed of a bullet.*Zap!* The robot got hit by the bolt and it wasn’t the only robot that got hit. The bolt launched itself towards other robots and shocked other 3 robots. The blot caused the robots to destroyed from the inside and shake violently , then stop and their body fell to the floors. Rarity the Gem Enchantress.

Applejack rushed towards the robot that got destroyed by Rarity’s special diamond and picked up their gun. She look at the car ahead of her, she heard a loud noises coming from the car and coming closer. She aims the gun at the door. A robot with a big and long gun barged from the door and quickly fires a rocket at the group. The rocket quickly went past through diamond's protection aura but missing the diamond and missing everypony in the car. *KA-BOOM!* The rocket hit the car’s door created a hole on the next car and creating black smoke that is going outside in the cold. The robot started to get closer to the groups car as it reloads it rocket firing gun.

Applejack pulled the trigger but nothing came out of the gun, it was empty. Nervous, she threw the empty gun at the robot with the rocket shooting gun. The robot turns to Applejack enraged by her throwing the object. The robot fire it gun at her, Applejack jumps away from the rocket which hit the floor creating a hole on the bottom of the train. She jumps inside Rarity’s diamond shield, she quickly grabs her ropes from her saddlebag. She warps it round her tail and she quickly spins her tail around. She spins the her tail a little more which the hole on the rope get bigger. Next, she turns her body around throwing the rope around the robot's arms and yanked hard. It was getting closers to the Diamond shield.

Applejack yanked the the robot closer to her, quickly  the robot got close enough she can punch it and she uppercut it into the roof. The robot was punched up into the top of the roof. But the punch was not powerful enough to go through the roof, the robot bounce  from the roof and started to fall from the roof. Applejack turns around and kicks the robot hard, right before it lands on the floor with her back hooves, destroying its body into pieces. Applejack the Rodeo Rider.

On top of the car, Rainbow dash heard someone coming from behind and turns around to see two pegasus clots, oddly not robots. They had glasses on with, a yellow machine on their hooves and back, and one had neon blue sword in his mouth. The one with a sword start to charge towards her. Rainbow dash’s Wonderbolt training was going to pay off. She opens her saddle full of Twilight’s research paper and due to the wind, the paper flew out the bag landing on the clot’s eyes. The clot try to take the paper out of his eyes but at the high speed it wasn't going to be easy. Rainbow dash quickly charge towards the clot with the neon blue sword, and swipe his front legs, causing him to fall. Next, she sidekicks the clots head causing him to drop the sword out of his mouth. She quickly picks it up, and turns towards to the other clot. Rainbow dash lifts up her Wonderbolt machine and pressed a few buttons.

The machine created a clone that looked him in a hit-me-if-you-can-way. But, the real Rainbow dash was invisible, she move away from her clone, near the black smoke created by the robot’s rocket and watch the clot running towards her clone. The machine on the clots hooves extend out to punch her. But the clone didn't react like a normal pony, it quickly disappeared in thin air. “Huh?!” He said as he look at his machine hoof for any blood on it. But, there was nothing, it was clean. He look in front of him and saw Rainbow dash with the neon sword in her mouth and stab the clot in the chest.

“I almost finished my comic collection…” He said with his final words then dies. Rainbow Dash the Wonderbolt.

Back inside the train car with the other 5 ponies inside. Twilight saw a robot coming from the black smoke created by the rocket. She remember a spell from the Siren book. Her horn glowed and the robot in front of her was lift into the air. It was surrounded by a purple “force” and made it legs and arms to crammed it body, but the force was not damaging it. She smiles as she move her head to the up, causing the robot to get lifted closer to the ceiling of the train. Then, she quickly moved her head quickly move towards the bottom, causing the force to move towards the bottom the train and destroying the robot's body. Twilight Sparkle the Enchantress.

Fluttershy the yellow pony who hid under the chairs the whole fight. Poked her head out of the chairs and saw that the fight was over. Fluttershy the Beast Mistress. (Already looking Overpowered!)

Through the smoke was the train’s operator room which had all the controls for the train.

“We are nearby the operator room!" Twilight yells as she ran down the train car.  They saw the room and the door was closed. Twilight try to opening the door, but it was locked.

“I got it!” Pinkie said as she back away from the door and ran towards the door. She drop kicked the door down and saw what was inside the room, it was dark but the only thing was keeping the room visible was the dimmed lights in the room.

A long necked chair was in front of the controls for the train, but they noticed something was off about the chair. It had something sticking out the middle part of the neck of the chair. It was a sharp, curved piece of metal with blood stained on it.

“Wait a second..” Twilight said as she notice something else. There was red sticks with wires on it and they were all over the controls. The chair slowly starts to turns around and revealing Discord’s body had pieces of metal was on his body and more red sticks. A familiar voice start to come from the body.

“It’s cute that y’all think you’re the heroes of this little adventures, but you’re not.” The body said, but the body’s mouth was not moving. It was a recording machine saying it. The voice sounded like Discord's voice. “Welcome to Pandora, kidos!” The recording said in Discord’s voice. Next, was an explosion that destroys the train controls and the group was inside the explosion. Those red sticks were not sticks.
