Full Metal Pony
The Retreival
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight Sparkle had just woken up, and was starting her checklist of things to do that day. "Well, I have to buy some vegetables from Carrot Top, and I have some books Princess Celestia wanted me to have, so I’m waiting for those to be delivered. I should PROBABLY stock up on more paper, bu-". She would have kept reading her entire list until some pony knocked on her door, rather loudly. Opening the door, she was most surprised to see three royal guardsmen standing at her door. "We have been ordered by the Princess to take you and the other five elements of harmony to Canterlot at once. Princess Celestia has an urgent matter involving the war to discuss with you." At this, Twilight was confused but some small, nagging parts of her didn’t want anything to do with the war that has been raging for over 2 years now. "I'm sorry, but I didn't get any warnings for this. What is this matter she needs to talk to me about?" she asked, her voice so piloted yet so confused. "We were told not to tell any pony any more information on the matter, other than that there are guards bringing Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack and Pinkie Pie for the same matter. You will be together when you get to Canterlot. Please pack your bags and enter the chariot as soon as possible." And with this, Twilight packed some of her belongings and they were off, Canterlot-bound
They arrived hours later, and Twilight was escorted to the great hall, where she met back up with her friends. "Good morning, every pony!" Twilight said cheerfully. Before any of them could respond, Dash piped up from her napping spot in a support beam high up in the ceiling. "Hardly morning anymore, since that three hour chariot ride. I could have flown here on my own in half the time..." she said, the annoyance in her voice rampant. "Now Dash, we all had the same ride you did, so don't go 'round complainin’ about it. Afternoon, Twi." Applejack joined in. They all looked tired from the chariot ride even though none of them were up for an hour before so. "Oh, hi, Twilight! How are you doing today?" Fluttershy asked, in her small and soft voice. Before Twilight could respond, the guardsman that was at the library said that Celestia awaited them.
"Good day to you, Girls. I have a rather important matter to discuss with all six of you." With this, she gracefully walked over to a stain-glass window, depicting a battle taking place. "Equestria has been locked in this war against the changelings for over two years now. Alas, we cannot see a clear victor; just an indefinite stalemate. That is where you Girls come in. I know this is risky, but our spies have reported a secret weapon, but it is unidentified. So, knowing this, I felt that it would be wise to have our OWN secret weapon. But not just one.... Six." She explained. The knowledge of what she meant by 'Six weapons' sunk into each of them, and they realized it: They were the weapons.
