Cutie Mark Cru-Saviours

The castle was much grander than in our school's history books-though they were ten years out-dated, due to a budget crisis. Cheerilee taught us little about the castles because they were supposedly the Princesses' privacy. It was made out of pure white stone, and had large spirals with golden turrets. Though it looked quite modern, it still had historic elements to it, such as the fact there were no windows, just holes (though that might be because of the numerous attempts I've had to break in). The carriage landed beside the entrance, and we got out, accompanied by two royal guards, one a Unicorn, one a Pegasus. Strangely there were no day-time guards, just Luna's. We followed the two Stallions through the castle, twisting and turning. Suddenly the guards stopped, causing us to crash into them. The Unicorn knocked on the door.

"Just one minute!" Came the reply. The Pegasus produced some headphones out of nowhere and began listening to music. The Unicorn used his magic to secretly pull the cord of the headphones out of the iPod the Pegasus was using. Suddenly a loud beat began playing and echoed down the hallway:

We're Bronies forever,

Bronies together,

A fandom but so much more,

No matter what comes we will face the haters,

We're Bronies to the core.

The guard, noticing the music echoing through the hallway, abruptly yanked the headphones and iPod. He flew away, throwing them into a river; then returned.

"What's a Brony?" Sweetie asked just as the door swung open to reveal a navy-blue Allicorn.

"Come in," she said. Both guards led us in.

"NOT YOU!" She screeched at the Stallions who ran away, a faint crying could be heard from the hallway. We looked around, she had a large bedroom filled with posters of certain ponies. In one corner of her room was a pony with long hair that covered his face. The writing: "Gives you seizure" was written over a crossed out "Justin Beiber". On this pony were many darts that had been thrown on. The only ponies that didn't have stupid names written over their true ones were a couple of video game characters. A large cloth covered a strange object in the center of the room. Sweetie ran over it.

"What's this?" she asked, pulling the cloth.

"NO DONT--" Luna shouted, but it was too late.

A gasp as the three other crusaders stared at the screen. It was a magic box, and it had a pony trapped inside. She seemed to be shaking her flank.

"What's she doing?!" cried a transfixed Babs.

"Twerking," replied Luna, "And singing-- that's enough of that," Luna switched off the magic box.

"Aww," Sweetie groaned, then started jumping up and down and singing, trying to be like the creature on the screen, "my Anaconda don't--"

"I SAID ENOUGH!" shouted Luna.

Everypony was suddenly silent, staring intently into her eyes. She coughed then began to talk:

"ahem Yes, I suppose you are wondering why I brought you here," Luna said as we nodded in agreement, "well, a slight problem has appeared in Equestria, and we don't actually know what it is. Two weeks ago, Celestia went on a little power-hungry rampage and the next day, her and all her guards were missing. Since then, numerous disappearances have occurred in several parts of Equestria. We sent your friends, the Elements of Harmony, to go and find out what was going on, but we have had no reply."

"You see, because you are all closely related to the elements, we figured that you would know what to do. Not only this, but on your journey here, you have proven your efficiency on the field. Your mission is quite simple: find the source of these disappearances, and defeat whatever evil is occurring. I don't know why, but we sense a strange magic emitting from each of you when you are united. Good...but strange."

"We know this sounds hard, but we already know where the evil power is coming from, so my guards will take you there. Next to discuss, oh yes. You needn't worry too much, we have a professional with us who will be helping you. She is an all-time hero--"

"Ooh, ooh," I interrupted, "is it Rainbow Dash?"

"No, but it is somepony who Rainbow looks up to, thinks is awesome, and admires--"

"So it's Rainbow Dash?" I replied.

"Ha ha, very funny--"

"I wasn't joking,"

"Oh- well no, it isn't Rainbow Dash, it's Spitfire, a member of the Wonderbolts,"

"Oh, riiiiight," I said.

We looked at each other, not sure whether to take on this new challenge. Apple Bloom nodded then shouted at the top of her lungs.

"CUTIE MARK CRU-SAVIOURS...hehe get what ah did there: MISSION: SAVE THE EMPIRE FROM EVIL. TEAM: BABS SEED, APPLE BLOOM, SCOOTALOO, AND SWEETIE BELLE. READY? LET'S DO THIS!"
