Twilight panted as she ran down the halls of the school, she was going so fast that at times she had to wall run to turn corners, much to the bemusement of passing students. As Twilight reached the final corridor she noted that Celestia’s office door was open, along the corridor floor was two parallel strips of lights planes used to land. Twilight turned sidewards to slow down lowering her left knee and straightening her right leg, the friction left a trail of rubber and flames in her wake as she stopped just before Celestia, who was wearing a smug smirk on her face as a group of students came out with fire extinguishers to put out the fire.

Twilight smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her neck when Celestia pulled out a scorecard that said eight out of ten. Twilight’s hung her head hiding her embarrassment.
Celestia put down the scorecard and smirked,

“So Twilight, what classes do you want to take from me? Take a look at this brochure,”

I recomposed myself, performing a breathing exercise, I proceeded to look through the courses available, four specifically stood out to me, “Spatial and chronomancy 101, advanced magic 101, magical engineering 101. Large scale area effect spells 101.” I said as I read the course titles.

“Splendid!” Celestia clapped her hands together with a smile on her face, Celestia then began writing down something on the sheet in front of her.

“It will take time to register you properly, in the meantime you may leave. I, however, suggest you get your course materials and your stationery.” Celestia instructed before handing me the list.

“Twilight, not that this isn’t riveting but did you not fight anything there?” Luna asked clearly getting bored

“Well, a couple of months after that I did fight a giant lizard-like creature the locals called a Dethklaw, please don’t ask why it’s called that,” I responded, nuzzling into Luna’s neck.

“We were sent out to get some field experience, forage, scavenge and loot… .”

I was in the middle of the ruins of Canterlot, moving through the damaged streets and the glassless shop windows. Which I in no way did I look for new outfits to wear, nope no sir. Definitely not, after not scouring the clothes shops I made my way to the local gun shop to see if there was any ammo or guns not already scavenged.

After cleaning out a few good weapons left behind in amazing condition, I heard a song playing in the street. I quickly picked up my loot and made my way out of the shop to see an eight-foot-tall lizard creature, it had two curved scrolled horns piercing a tattered black hood, razor-sharp teeth poked out of its overbite mouth. It stood like a human, its torso thick and muscular with an mp3 player lodged into its skin poking through a damaged black Dethklok t-shirt, it had huge clawed hands and digitigrade paws with reverse knee joint legs it was wearing a pair of torn black pants. It’s long tail swished about, without much fanfare the tune it was playing changed mid-song as soon as it had spotted me.

I hurriedly prepared my swords, I slashed at the creature as it charged at me, damaging its shirt but barely nicking its skin as I draw my blade along its chest it got caught on its mp3 player.

I rolled away as the beast screeched at me, slashing where I was previously.
I lifted it with my magic and slammed it on the hard concrete, it let out a loud screech glaring at me. I drew all my swords holding them in my magic, I used all my might to launch them deep into the beast, the song ceased to play as one of the blades had penetrated it. It let out a death rattle, as its blood seeped onto the pavement.

Before I could rest more screeching echoed in the streets as a horde of mummified humans that shouldn’t be alive considering their state ran at me. Readying my swords after pulling them from the carcass of the beast I had just slain, You have to be fucking kidding me! I thought in exasperation as I waited for the first to enter my reach swords flew relieving limbs from the unholy creatures with soulless eyes. The pieces flying everywhere like I was some morbid blender.

Dammit how many are there, I was never one for endurance. I complained mentally as I panted the rancid smell of corpses piling up as I continued swinging. It lasted twenty minutes and I was kneeling gasping for breath as I lopped off the last one’s head.

“This is going to suck, “ I muttered with a sigh, I began the long and arduous task of looting all the corpse, few bullets, lots of money, I few things I did not want to think about. Some of them even had AMPs so I used mine to liberate their inventories. More cash entered my AMP, a few outfits, a couple of guns and a scarlet sheer negligee,

I decided to haul the carcass off the giant beast with me in my magic, preserving it in stasis. I had not seen such a beast so perhaps someone at harmony can tell me.

Once I had made it to Harmony, after a few skirmishes with carrian beasts trying to take my kill, I was greeted by the gate by a pacing Celestia and Luna, Jo standing beside them, “See I said she would be fine!” Luna said thumping her sister on the shoulder in exasperation.
“Hey Twilight I see you survived your first field trip,” Jo snarked playfully. Coming up to meet me, she flinched away when my souvenir flopped into her vision.

“Fuck me sideways! Twilight what the hell, how in gods name did you manage to fell a Dethklaw,” Jo said incredulously, eying the corpse and me.

“Stabbing it a lot, seemed to do the trick,” I responded sardonically, “you should have seen the hordes of mummies or zombies or whatever the fuck those unholy desiccated creatures were.”

Jo’s right eye began to twitch dangerously as she turned around and started ranting, Luna came over to me and stage whispered, “pst Twilight, is the mp3 in one piece? Or at least tell me you downloaded its songs?” Luna eyes practically begging me.

“Sorry Luna it was destroyed in the fight,” I responded eying her reaction.

“Aww, great now I have to wait for god knows how long,” Luna complained while pouting, “Listen Twilight Dethklaw’s and a load of other creatures with mp3’s stuck in their bodies contain ancient music, the Dethklaw being a subspecies of the metalhead. Please try and keep the mp3 intact or download its library with your AMP,” with a deep exaggerated sigh Luna continued, “ah to hear Metallica again!”

“Seriously?” I asked incredulously

“Actually Twilight, can you perhaps do the same for me if you hear one with classical music playing?” Celestia added sheepishly from behind Luna.

“Anyway, we shall take this one to be processed maybe we can salvage the hard or flash drive,” Luna said picking up my kill.

That’s it I am done, this world is crazy!? What next a Faceless man in a suit that steals children away!?
