A Fallen Star on Earth

(Canterlot, Main Highway)

Burning Star and Iron Horse rocketed down the highway, looking for the exit to get to the Canterlot High that the dark grey smoke led to...

Unfortunately, Iron Horse did his research on Canterlot High, and they didn't take very kindly to strangers suddenly pulling up to the front doors and saying,

"Heya, We are College grads that have come to this high school to hunt down a madman who wants to take over the world. So, can we live here?"

Burning Star understood Iron Horse's point, if he barged in fists flying he would get nowhere. So, he must do something he hated.

He had to... Burning Star shuddered at the thought, "negotiate"

Burning Star hated negotiations, they dragged on and on and on to no end! He just wanted them to burn and die in the pits of hell, but he couldn't do that now.

Sombra was his main target, and he wasn't intent on letting him get away with his plan.

Burning Star spoke to his partner, "So, you are going to do the talking right? Because you know how bad I am at reasoning with people..."

Iron Horse said to his friend, "Yes, Yes, I will do the majority of the talking. But you have to arrange our living arrangements, ok?"

Burning Star sighed, "Fine... but you know how hard it is to find a place to live in Canterlot, the vacant houses are supposed to be scarce, you know?"

Burning Star nodded, before swerving out of the way of a car speeding ahead of them.

He asked Iron Horse, "What exit do we get off of again?" He was turning towards the nearest off ramp.

Iron Horse pointed towards the off ramp, "Yeah this one is correct. Now take a right on the next block."

Burning Star rushed down the street and drifted down the street on the right, unfortunately he attracted the attention of the cops.

Burning Star heard the sound of police sirens and said to his friend, "Damn it! Now the police are after us! Should I pull over, dude?"

Iron Horse looked at his watch and said, "time is crucial, Burning Star. We need to get somewhere safe... but where..."

Burning Star turned down the street on the right and saw a house with a garage, he pointed at it and said, "There!" He stopped in front of the garage and looked back, then looked to Iron Horse and said, "How fast can you pick that lock?"

Iron Horse just kicked the lock and it broke, probably because it was covered with rust. Burning Star pulled his motorcycle in and Iron Horse shut the door before the cops could see them.

Burning Star gave Iron Horse a fist bump, then said "Nice work, but how did you know the lock was rusted?"

Iron Horse shrugged, "I don't know..." he looked around the inside of the garage, it looked as if it had just been cleaned. Maybe somebody lived here?

Burning Star took of his helmet and put in on the workbench nearby. He fished around in his bag for a pair of sandwiches and gave one to Iron Horse. As Burning Star was eating, he said "You think somebody lives here, pal?"

Iron Horse nodded, "I think so, if somebody does love here, we are going to have to also "negotiate" with them.

Burning Star groaned at pulled out some of his things from his bag, the majority of it was food and water, then Iron Horse noticed large black cases attached to the side of his motorcycle.

Iron Horse asked his friend, "What is in those boxes Burning Star?"

Burning Star scowled and said, "our plan B if we can't capture King Sombra..." he opened up the cases and Iron Horse went wide eyed.

The cases contained military-issue, Barrett .50 caliber sniper rifles, along with what looked like 5 ammo clips each. Burning Star pulled some of the parts out and began to assemble them. He made one for Iron Horse, then he made his own.

Iron Horse asked in a panicked state, "What the Hell are you doing with those weapons? Do you want to get caught by the cops?!"

Burning Star rolled his eyes, "don't worry... this is only for drastic measures." he opened the compartment below the seat Iron Horse was sitting on and pulled out the rest of his stuff.

Iron Horse looked on with a stunned look on his face as Burning Star pulled out various types of tazer pistols, smoke bombs, grappling hooks, flash bangs, tear gas canisters and zip ties. He also pulled out a Grenade Launcher and put it on one of the racks in the garage.

Iron Horse finally asked, "How did you get ALL of this? Some of this stuff is only available to the army!"

Burning Star chuckled and said, "Why do you think took me so long to get to your home? I stopped by the Army Surplus Weapon Department..." he got closer to Iron Horse and said, "Keep this in mind, We do not know if Sombra has his powers here. But considering I still can conjure flame..." Burning Star snapped his fingers and made a small flame appear, "I had to be ready to go all out on him."

Iron Horse wanted to tell him that this was overkill, but then her remembered who King Sombra was and said, "Ok. But we can't let these weapons be seen when we head to the school. Got that?"

Burning Star nodded, "That's no problem, the sniper rifles collapse into a easy to carry size, to an untrained eye it will look like a work binder instead of a powerful gun."

Iron Horse sighed, "ok. Then let's go!"

The two friends set up thier sleeping bags and fell asleep on the garage floor, making sure to lock the garage door with an unrusted lock.

(Canterlot High, Main Entrance)

Burning Star walked down the sidewalk next to his friend Iron Horse, they both had their cover names and identities in their bag.

They were supposed to be college graduates who wanted to complete a study of students in high school and how puberty can change their attitude towards others.

Iron Horse thought to himself "This is going to end well..." but he continued to walk besides his best friends.

They made an oath, to be "Friends as long as they live!"

Burning Star approached the front door of the building and looked at his watch, it was 7:30 AM, classes shouldn't start till 9 AM. That would give him enough time to negotiate with the principal, convince her what they are there to do, run back to the garage, ride his motorcycle to the school WITH the sniper rifle bags inside, park the motorcycle and give one of the bags to his friend.

Meanwhile, Iron Horse would tell the principal and vice principal about their project, and win the approval of some of the students and tell them of Burning Star's accomplishments.

The pair of them opened the double doors and saw that the hallways void of students, lockers lined the walls of the hallway and doors leading to the classrooms as well.

The pair saw a trio of ladies entering the office three doors on the right, Burning Star started to follow them but was stopped by his friend.

Iron Horse said to him, "Go get our stuff, pal. I'll deal with this..."

Burning Star nodded and left his bag with Iron Horse, as the large human walked down the halls and approached the door, he read the nameplate above it.

"Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna"

Iron Horse snorted in amusement, "We really can't get away from Equestria can we?"

(Canterlot High School, Principals office)

He knocked on the door and heard a faint "come in." So, he opened the door and saw the principal and vice principal.

Principal Celestia was wearing a white dress with a skirt. Her hair was colored in various colors such as pink, green, and blue. Vice Principal Luna wore a blue suit and had dark blue glasses on. Her hair was a dark blue as well, did both of them dye their hair?

Celestia asked Iron Horse, "Hello, who are you?"

Iron Horse asked, "Can I come in? I have something to discuss with the two of you."

Luna responded, "Sure. Enter please."

Iron hose sat down and began to tell Celestia and Luna about their studies. They looked completely calm upon hearing this.

Celestia said to the massive teen, "So let me get this straight, you and another male called Burning Star are college grads coming to our high school to study the effects of puberty on our students?"

Iron Horse nodded, "My partner would be here to tell you that I'm correct, but he is currently..." Iron Horse thought of a lie, he was really good at lying "Picking up our breakfast."

Luna got up from her desk and asked Iron Horse, "When do you think he will arrive?"

Iron Horse said to the vice principal, "a few minutes at least."

Celestia took out her clipboard and began to write something, she then said. "When he does arrive, have him sign this, this will be sent to all the teachers to make sure that you two are not students, just observers."

Iron Horse signed the paper, then heard the school bell, "I guess that means the day has begun?"

The two principals nodded, and Iron Horse looked at the school's list of students, he instantly went bright red in the face and rushed out the front door.

"Oh dear god..."

Twilight Sparkle and her friends were walking together down the sidewalk and approaching the school.

It was the start of their senior year there! Only one more year until college!

Pinkie Pie cheered, "Yay! Our first day of senior year! What do you thinks going to happen?"

Rainbow Dash responded to her question, "Probably more homework! God I wish I could just play sports all day, then I would have to listen to our teachers drone on and on."

Applejack said in her country drawl, "Hey don't worry, Ah heard that senior year ain't all that bad. So, don't get your underwear in a knot!"

Rarity shrugged, "Well, I'm going to spend the majority of my senior year in crafts. Got to work on my clothing line darlings."

Twilight Sparkle sighed, "C'mon girls, senior year is supposed to be the year we think about what college we want to go to. I personally am planning on going to Hayvard..."

Sunset Shimmer rolled her eyes, "Yes, yes, we have heard the whole "I'm going to Hayvard" stuff."

Fluttershy said quietly, "I-I agree with Sunset. You tend to ramble on about it way too much. E-even I got sick of it."

Twilight Sparkle turned the corner and bumped into her and friends rivals, Trixie and the Dazzlings!

Adagio smirked and said, "Well, Well, Well. If it isn't Twilight and her friends."

Aria chimed in, "You all are so annoying to see. I can't stand it!"

Sonata sighed, "Cut them some slack girls, it's the first day. Let's not start something now."

Trixie stared at Twilight and said, "Trixie agrees with this, besides, we would win that fight anyways!"

Rainbow snarled, "You wish! We will beat your butts into the dirt."

The girls all began to bicker, not paying attention to where they were walking as Iron Horse bumped into them.

Iron Horse lifted the girls up, "Sorry about that! I didn't see you two in my Rush." He looked at the paper, "so I believe you all go to this school yes?"

All the girls nodded, and Trixie asked "Why do you ask? Are you new here?"

Iron Horse nodded, "I'm not going here, I'm a college graduate doing a study here." He stuck out his massive hand, "my name is Iron Horse by the way."

All the girls shook the big teenager's hand, then Twilight said, "Do you have a partner with your project?"

Trixie rolled her eyes, "Of course you would want to be his partner. He is a boy! And if I'm not mistaken, Twilight... you are single!"

Iron Horse ignored the white haired girl and said, "My friend Burning Star is also coming to our study... he should be here any second..."

the distant sound of a motorcycle alerted Iron Horse, he then said. "In fact, here he is now!"

The girls turned around to see a tall teenager riding a motorcycle pull up to the edge of the sidewalk, he chained to a sign and turned around to see every girl staring at him.

Burning Star took off his helmet and said, "Hi... I'm Burning Star." He took off his sunglasses, and he continued, "Nice to meet you all."

When Burning Star removed his sunglasses, the girls' jaws dropped.

Burning Star was wearing a Camouflage Sweater with a dark red undershirt, a pair of black jeans, and had his sunglasses perched on his head. His wild red and orange hair was long and shiny, and his blue eyes shone bright like sapphires.

Burning Star looked at Iron Horse nervously, then rushed over him and gave his bag.

He then said to him, "Why are there so many females here, dude?"

Iron Horse whispered to him,

"This is an all girls school..."

Burning Star went pale in the face, "Oh..." he said as he ran inside, Iron Horse followed him.

The girls looked at each other, and everyone said,

"This is going to be the best year ever!"
