Abandon All Hope

"ENDLESS!?!?" You and the otheres yelled in unison. Endless. Great. Just. BUCKING. GREAT. You think to yourself.

"Okay, Guys, Calm Down. We may be stuck in an endless heat cycle, and we may also be the coltfriends of each mare in the heat. Still, we should not abandon hope! We've stooped existance from collapsing! We've survived two extra years at high school, and we, above all else, are trapped!" Frost rose above the rest, flicking his gaze between you and your other friends. A moment of silence dawned on your group. Finally, words came from the most unlikely of speakers.

"Yeah, we're bucked." Flare exclaimed dryly. Seeing that everypony else in the room was panicking, you walk up to your supposed set of chains on the wall, and pull your guitar off. The weight of it is natural in your hooves, and great memories of gigs come flooding back. In fact, Thats where you met Vinyl. At a gig in Canterlot, shortly after the royal wedding. You started playing, had a magically enhanced music battle, got drunk and... Well, one thing lead to another. You smirk as you recall the happenings of that night. You pretty much destoyed her deck, being a MAGIC music battle, where you play notes and you can peform some pretty powerful spells.

"RED!" You snap back from your trance to the sound of Vintage yelling in your ear. "Why do you have your guitar?" You feel your smirk returning in full force.

"Well, See, I fused this guitar with my magic, meaning it works as an aplifier for my skill in the arts. When played, I can cast some damn strong spells." You demonstrate by flicking a switch on your guitar and the red colour of it begins to fade into different colours of the spectrum, you chuckle lightly at the looks of awe on your friends faces. "Although, I have a plan. It won't be long until the girls find out we're here, and Vinyl mutilates me." You gulp audibly. "So, I'll move over here to the wall, and on the count of three, I'll give my guitar a powerful strum. This will hopefully make the wall collapse and at that moment, the pegasi and earth ponies will make a run for the Cutie Mark Crusaders treehouse on the edge of Sweet Apple Acres. From there, we'll make a plan from there to either escape Ponyville, or shatter the barrier. Any questions?" You finish your speech with a smug look and chuckle.

"Yeah, Uh, What if one of us get caught?" Cyclone spoke up.

"Well then, it may be to risky to bring you back, and, they'll probably be more desperate." The room seems to shudder with you all. "Right. Ready Everpony?" A series of catious nods is what you got in return. Grinning, you stand on your hind legs, swing your guitar to your front. Pause. Suddenly, you hear the front door open again.

"Oh Boys... We couldn't find Red, so we'll have fun without him~!" Lyra's voice chimed through the mansion, Matrix froze. It was now, or Never. You catch a glimpse of the eight mares walk in, all staring at you in particular, giving a sly smile to Vinyl and shaking your glowing guitar, you turn back to the wall.

"THREETWOONEGO!!!" Throwing your hoof down against the strings, a shockwave of energy blasts the wall away. Frost, Matrix, Cyclone and Shadow all burst into the air at once. Jumper and Flare slide down the hill at the edge of the house, and gallop off. Giving a quick salute to the mares, you melodically strum your guitar and fade away. The last thing you hear before you completely dissapear was something along the lines of "REEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!"


A blinding red light illuminates the tree house, and you flop to the floor with a thud. A quick scan of the hideout shows that your the first one here. I'm not saving their flanks again. You muse to yourself. You stand your guitar against the wall, flicking the magic switch off. Sighing, you slump yourself against the wall by your guitar. Suddenly, a Green light illuminates the room and Emerald emerges from the light. He's panting.

"Yo, Emerl, Ya'right?"

"Yeah, fine, are we the first ones?"

"Yup. Oh Wait, theres the Matrix and the other pegasi. One, Two, Three, Four, FIVE, SIX?!" You count the pegasi again, and see that there are indeed two extra. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Looking down you see, Twilight, Lyra, Applejack, Sapphire, Vinyl, Pinkie and Rarity, who once again, has Vintage on her back. Vinyl staring right at you, and her DJ equipment is floating above her head. You know what she's going to do. Thinking quickly, you pick up your guitar, flick the switch again, and leap out of the tree house, readying yourself for the coming battle.
