Bronycon 2013by Magicolt808ChaptersChapter 1: The Gangs all HereChapter 2: Getting to know your fellow BronyChapter 3: Bronycon is hereChapter 4: Flight of the FoxChapter 1: The Gangs all Here“Wha-? We’re goin’ where!?” asked a surprised Applejack. Twilight gleefully turned toward Applejack, “I said we are going to be visiting the human world.” “What’s a human?” asked a confused Pinkie Pie. Dash turned over as she hovered in midair, “Those things Lyra is always going on about?” she giggled. “Princess Celestia was telling me about them. They are a sophisticated species that appreciates all the work we do here in Ponyville,” Twilight said happily. “Hu-Human....?” whispered Fluttershy, “Are they nice?” Rarity was bouncing up and down cheerfully, “I heard the human world has whole new lines of fashion, not even Canterlot has seen!” she said, smiling. “So why do we have to go?” asked Dash. Twilight pulled out a letter from a nearby drawer. “We don’t have to go, Princess Celestia just wanted us to be there. She said it would be good to learn about the magic of friendship on Earth, it’s all in this letter she sent me.” Twilight opened the letter and began to read out loud. “Dear Twilight Sparkle and Friends, It is with great happiness I tell you that the following year, you have been invited to a grand event on Earth. Humans from across the land will be meeting to hear about your discoveries in the magic of friendship and the elements of harmony! I hope to see you there! -Princess Celestia” ------▲------ Dim lights shone through the corridor, casting shadows on the dust drifting through the air. The generals boots stomping down on the ground, sending echoes throughout the base as he walked. Turning sharply, the general entered through the door to the mission room. Inside was a long rounded table, where men in green suits sat silently. Their clothes all adorned with a variation of medals and shining pins. “Status report,” chuckled the general as he fell lazily into the highest chair. One of the men slid a file across the table to him. The man’s eyes never made eye contact with the general’s as he told him the news. “The depression drugs are successfully blocking Patient 4’s dopamine, but he hasn't woken from his sleep in days....” The general just laughed, “Ohhh interesting,” he said grinning. “The cybernetics linked into Patient 5 aren’t turning out as well as we hoped though sir...” the man was sweating, fearing a punishment for delivering this news. The general spinned around in his chair, everyone in the room besides him was still and silent. “I don’t think we’ll even need them, he’s a very fun person, we won’t need to control him too much.” The man shuffled his papers, “On the other hand, the dopamine producing drugs are working perfectly, Patients 6 and 7 are cooperating without hesitation.” The general stopped spinning. “Sounds...boring...Take away the drugs, let them live without them for a while, that should be fun.” The man looked even further away from the general’s glance, “But sir, we don’t know the consequences of withdrawal...” The general shifted in his high chair, “Even better!” he laughed. “I suppose Leo will want these reports too...” The general sighed, “TREY!” he yelled. The other men all stiffened up as they heard footsteps from the down the corridor. “What do you want old man?” said a kid as he walked into the mission room. Trey was dressed like your average teenager. He wore a red shirt with a peace symbol on it that matched his red converse. His short dark hair mostly covered by his red baseball cap. One hand was tucked into his pocket while the other dragged a baseball bat. “Take these up to Leo why don’t you?” said the general, thrusting the papers out towards Trey. “Are you kidding? And run into those crazies? I can’t believe you let those freaks run free around this place...can’t be healthy.” The general just held out the papers again and Trey snatched them reluctantly. Trey sped off to the the door, dragging his bat on the floor. As he turned the corner, one of the papers fell from the stack and floated lightly to the floor. One of the men in suits grabbed it and handed it to Trey, his hand quaking, “Uhm sir, you dropped th-” The man got cut off when Trey’s bat made contact with his face, knocking his head straight back, severing his spine. Trey grabbed the paper as it fell mid air, he sped off back down the hall quickly. “Thanks,” he laughed. The general cracked up, “I do love that kid,” he said. The general turned back toward the man holding his own set of folders and papers, “Continue.” The man began to speak, but was cut off by a loud, low moan. He started up again, “The mind control serum seems to be disabling Patient 2’s brain at an alarming rate, although her nerves and tendons are growing and rising in response to the experimental testing.” Another moan broke out amongst the room as a woman crawled in through the door and collapsed on the floor. She had on a white t-shirt and white pants, her bare feet sprawled as her black haired head laid on the floor. “Continue,” the general said again ignoring this. The man went on, “Well sir...uhm...as you can see, her motor skills are still very basic, and she is still unable to form words or use sign languages.” The woman's head twitch violently as she moaned in pain. “Hmmm, very well,” the general said quietly, “take my daughter back up to her room.” The man walked quickly over to the woman, picking her up and exiting the room. The general turned slowly in his chair, eyes closed. Noises could be heard upstairs. Treys voice echoed, “LEAVE ME ALONE YOU ROBOT FREAK!!!” It was followed by more yelling, “GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME YOU LITTLE PUSSY!” ------▲------ Celestia stood on her balcony, looking over her vast kingdom as the sun was setting. Her chambers were located to the west of the castle. As she stared out into the sun, she could easily oversee that it was being lowered correctly. As the day slowly came to an end, she let out a sigh of relief, the chores of the day were finally over. As the sound of galloping echoed behind her, she realized she was not done just yet. Hoovesteps could be heard through her door, seemingly advancing towards her bed quarters. Turning her back on the sun, Celestia turned around just in time to see Shining Armor burst through the door. “Princess! There has been some urgent news I am to deliver to you,” he gasped. “What is it Shining?” asked Celestia. Shining Armour looked at her grimly, “There is word of an attack that is going to be made on my sister and her friends upon their arrival in the Human realm next year.” Celestia’s face hardened and her eyes grew narrow. “What do you suppose we do Princess?” asked Armour. Celestia paced the room, “We must assemble a team of the finest fighters to protect them.” “I have just the Colts in mind. Let me just-” Shining was cut off. Celestia stopped him, “No. We must contact the worlds human fighters. Humans are still very much unknown to us and we might not be able to protect my little ponies using just our techniques.” “How do you suppose we contact the humans Your Highness?” Shining asked softly, he had never trusted the humans. He had always heard tales of their brutality and selfishness. Celestia rose her head. “Send out a letter to Equestria Daily immediately, we will need their assistance greatly.” “What makes you think they shall agree to helping us?” asked Armour. “Because it is there we will find the most powerful and faithful bronies!” Celestia’s voiced boomed. ------▲------ “Are you ready Twilight?” asked Celestia standing outside of the teleportation circle. “Almost Princess. Just getting all of our stuff together,” Fluttershy said. “Hey! Has anypony seen Pinkie? Ah can’t find her anywhere.” said Applejack as she walked out the door. “Here I am!” said Pinkie, walking in with a suitcase in her mouth. “What do you need a suitcase for? You don’t even wear clothes,” said Rainbow, holding back her giggles at Pinkie’s randomness. “Well I needed something to carry all my cupcakes in!” yelled Pinkie defensively, making the suitcase fly out of her mouth. As it hit the ground, at least a dozen cupcakes flew out and landed on the ground. Rainbow Dash gave in and started laughing with Fluttershy and Applejack. Rarity bursted through the door, being pushed by Twilight. “Rarity! We have to go soon!” Rarity was struggling to go back into the room. “NOOO! I don’t have enough hats! Did I leave my scarf? I need my extra fabrics!” she yelled. A large stallion followed behind them, carrying Rarity’s many bags. “We’re only going to be gone for around a year Rarity!” shouted Twilight. “You’re right!” she exclaimed with a gasp. “I don’t think I packed enough!” Twilight responded with a groan and then a grunt of effort to get Rarity into the center of the circle. Accepting defeat, Rarity stopped resisting and gave in, plopping her flank onto the ground. “Okay. So is everypony ready?” asked Celestia, standing at the ready. “Yes Princess. Let’s do this!” yelled Twilight. Both Celestia and Twilight’s horns lit up and and a gust of wind blew around them. Then with a single, blinding flash, they disappeared from the Library floor and were off to the Human world. ------▲------ The parking lot in the back of the Equestria Daily building was pristine and clear as the warm sun shone down upon it. Andrew Johnson, the executive of Equestria Daily stood outside the back doors, checking his old watch every few minutes as he waited for the arrival of the ponies new bodyguards. As Mr.Johnson’s eyes squinted from the sun, a black limo pulled silently into the lot, turning around the corner and stopping in front of Andrew. A lean man wearing a pinstriped suit and a cowboy hat exited the car and made his way to Mr.Johnson. Extending his hand to the man, Mr.Johnson spoke clearly, “Ah Mister Roy Magic, glad you could make it.” “Please just call me Magic.” the man said, shaking Johnson’s hand with a firm grip. “Alright Magic. We are aware that you favor Applejack over the rest of the Mane 6. Is this correct?” “I sure do.” Magic said, tipping his stetson towards him. “Ah Perfect. Now we must wait for the-” Their conversation was interrupted by the screeching sound of a jet. Over the horizon, a checkered red and orange flamed aircraft, blasted through the air and was headed straight for the EQD building. “Ah, Here comes another recruit right now!” yelled Johnson, over the roar. The Jet came to an almost immediate halt over the parking lot and landed safely on the asphalt. As Magic stared in curiosity, the pilot jumped out of the cockpit to greet them. He was dressed in a leather aviator's jacket and white dress pants. His goggles hung lazily about his neck. “How’s it goin’? The name’s Sky.” the pilot said, sounding perky and confident. “Ah, welcome! Magic, this is Sky. He is the most prominent flyer around. “I can see that.” said Magic with a smirk, obviously referring to the Jet in the middle of the parking lot. “Nice to meet ya!” said Sky, averting Magic’s gaze from his jet to himself. “Pleasure.” said Magic, unconvincingly. Sky just looked on awkwardly. “So! When will everyone else arrive?” Just then, Mr Johnson turned as the doors behind him flew opened. A large blond man carrying an axe walked outside slowly. Riding on his back was a small dark haired girl with a bow on her back, and a small sword to her side. “Ah yes, Sir Travis and Lady Alex, I see you have already arrived,” said Mr.Johnson The blond man’s voice was deep and harsh, “I go by Travvy now a days.” he said lowly. His light blond hair was covering his scarred face, and muffling his voice. His many pelts of various fur was stained with blood, a gruesome scene that was only made easier to witness because of the beautiful girl sleeping on his back. Alex’s pelted armour was much lighter and cleaner than that of her companions. Her long black hair swayed back and forth as Travvy walked out to meet Sky and Magic. After shaking hands and going through introductions, the gang waited about for more recruits. After a long delay, they heard an explosion over the rooftop. Everyone looked above as small chunks of debris fell. “Give those back!” a soft voice yelled, followed by another loud explosion. A man dressed in a black duster jumped from the top of the roof, rolling as he landed in front of everyone laughing. In one, large metal plated hand he held a fedora loosely and in the other gloved hand, he held large rounded glasses. “Ah, I’m assuming you are the one they call King?” said Mr.Johnson. King laughed and nodded, he opened his mouth to speak but was kicked in the face by another man that jumped off the roof. Mr.Johnson went to help King up, “Now, Master Jonathan, please refrain from such vulgar acts while we have company.” King quickly got up off the ground laughing. Jonathan thoroughly fixed his sweater vest and dress pants, dusting himself off, before taking the glasses out of King’s grips and placing them back on his face. He quickly looked around to find his staff which was lying on the ground. “I don’t think that was very funny at all!” Jonathan said sternly to King, who was still laughing uncontrollably. King rubbed, his face, feeling the swelling lump, “Totally worth it,” he chuckled. Jonathan glared at him, and King gave him a weak innocent smile. Off in the distance a loud motor could be heard clearly. As the sound grew closer, the gang saw a pure white Kawasaki Ninja drift into the lot. The motorcycle drove up to Sky’s jet, and the guy riding it hopped off, leaving his helmet on the parked cycle. The dark skinned guy approached Mr.Johnson slowly, his short curly hair protruding from the top on his red beanie. On his back was strapped a large pitch black scythe, it’s blade reaching up to the cloth fox ears that were attached to the beanie. His white scarf hung lowly off his back, almost impossible to see when match with his white leather jacket. His black skate shoes match his black jeans just as his jacket and scarf matched the white stripe that was bleached through his hair. “Hey Andrew, long time no see,” he said nonchalantly. “Ah, evening, Captain Foxxy. Well, now that the gang has arrived, we shall be meeting with the mane 6 soon. If you would all kindly follow me.” Mr.Johnson turned back towards the back of the EQD Building, holding open the doors. As the group entered the building, they were hit with the smell of rubbing alcohol, much like the steril hallways of a hospital. Magic stared hard ahead of him as Sky looked in all directions next to him and King was in the back, still laughing and rubbing at his swollen cheek. “Alright ladies and Gentlemen, the time to act is near. Please follow me into this meeting room where we will discuss our plans.” said Johnson, suddenly serious. Foxxy’s hand was against the wall, tracing the curvature of the building slowly. The band of six walked into the room one by one. It was dimly lit and only one long table ran the length of it. Each member sat down at the table, after depositing their weapons and waited for Johnson to get to the head. When he did, he turned on a projector that displayed an image on the screen behind him. Travvy shook Alex gently, her soft brown eyes opening and adjusting to the dark room. “You’ve all been selected because we know that all of you are powerful fighters. We also know that all of you care deeply for the mane 6 and are anxiously awaiting their arrival and would dedicate your lives to protecting them. Well...that’s exactly what each of you are going to do.” Mr.Johnson turned around the room....”Magic!” he exasperated. “Yeah?” asked Magic in a bored fashion. “You are in charge of guarding Applejack.” Magic’s eyes brightened but his expression remained the same. “Sky!” “Yes sir!” he yelled with a military tone. “You will take to the skies and protect Rainbow Dash.” “Will do, sir!” “Travvy, Alex!” Travvy gave a low grunt and Alex’s head whipped around to face Mr.Johnson “You two will be in charge of guarding Fluttershy.” Again, Travvy responded with a low grunt as Alex’s eyes filled with joy. “King!” “What do you want Buttercup?” he chuckled “That’s Mister Buttercup to you! and you will also be guarding Twilight Sparkle.” Mr.Johnson said. King looked up, “Wha? Don’t stick me with her, I want somepony fun!” “Of course, I see, how about Pinkie Pie then?” said Mr.Johnson smiling, as if he had planned that out. “Yipee!” King exclaimed. Foxxy raised his hand as if this was school, “If we are picking now, can I guard Rarity?” he asked. Mr.Johnson laughed, “I see no reason why you cannot!” Foxxy slid back into his chair, “Thanks Andrew.” “And finally, Jonathan! You will be guarding Twilight Sparkle.” “Fantastic” said Jonathan in a blank tone. “Alright is everyone one the same page?” Everyone in the room gave an unintelligible noise in response but the tone seemed to be agreeable. “Alright then! Let’s go meet them shall we?” Chapter 2: Getting to know your fellow BronyChapter 2: Trey was huffing up and down as he sprinted down the hallway on the physical development floor. Patient 5, a cybernetic man, shirtless and wielding a large katana continued to chase him. “RRRRAH!” the man yelled, flying through the air and landing on top of Trey. “Get the fuck off of me, you asshole!” Trey yelled as he squirmed underneath the man. His mechanical left leg and right arm was sparking, and had loose wires sticking out. “I have a name you know!” The man yelled down at Trey. Trey started laughing mischievously, “Why? It’s not like we name toasters or printers!” The man slammed his sword down in front of Trey’s face, “The name’s David, kid, gave it to myself yesterday.” The left half of David’s face was glowing faintly red, and his dark metal red eye scanned Trey’s face. David, got off Trey and walked back down the hall, “Meh, I don’t even know why I try to fight with you, kid, you’re not even half a challenge.” Trey stood up and dusted himself off, mumbling curses under his breathe. After collecting the loose papers, Trey continued walking up the stairs to the next building level. Pushing through the door labeled, “Experimental Drug Testing,” Trey found himself looking down a long maze of hallways. The ceiling was extended, and though it was to see, Trey made out metal bars running the length of the ceiling. As Trey continued walking, his ears filled with the distant screams, ringing throughout the building. “This placed always creeps me out.” Trey said quietly to himself. “Alright, keep calm Trey, just find the exit and get the fuck out of here.” He was sweating now. The darkness seemed so dense around him, like it was thicker than regular darkness. The lack of light was sucking the courage out of him. “I just have to drop these off with Leo, and then I can go...” He said to himself. “...Get what to Leo...” Trey froze in place. Directly behind him, Patient 4, Sai, stood silently. Trey turned around slowly and was face to face with Sai. Trey backed up, moving away from Sai’s shirtless scarred body. From under Sai’s long hair, that was covering his pale face and red eyes, his low and dark voice traveled to Trey, “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” “St- Stay away from me...” Trey whispered. “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping or so- something...?” Sai slowly walked forward, the ball and chain around his ankles dragging as he did so. “Since when do they let little kids into the loop?” Sai’s eyes quickly locked onto the folder in Trey’s hand. “Or are you just the little messenger boy? Why don’t you hand that over...?” Trey backed up faster, trying to separate himself from Sai. The loud clacking of the steel balls and chain rang out through the halls and Sai stumbled toward Trey. Panicking, Trey turned quickly and ran into a soft surface. “Huh? Did you come up here to play too?” Trey turned quickly and saw a young girl in a cute kitten costume looking at him. “Oh it’s just you...” he said sighing. Trey turned back to Sai, who was now a foot from his face. “Errr...what do you want with this data shit anyways? You know as well as I do theres no escape from this place.” The little kitten suit girl jumped and landed in front of Trey, “He wants to know what his life was like before all this,” she said smiling. Sai was frozen in place staring at Trey. The girl continued, “He wants to know his family,” she giggled. Sai kicked his leg quickly and the steel ball at the end flew towards the girl. She gracefully jumped over it, back flipping and landing behind Trey. “Well you’re out of luck anyways guy, I don’t think they have any background info in here,” Trey said, shaking the folder lightly. Sai’s eyes closed slowly as he blankly started walking the other direction back down the hall. “How do you think he sleeps like th-” Trey was cut off. “So do you wanna play tag?” the girl said smiling. Trey scratched his head, “Uhm no Kitty, I’m alright. Hey isn’t there suppose to be two of you?” Just then, a shining black knife flew into Kitty’s side, cause crimson blood to streak down her chest. From the steel bars above, another girl, in a wolf suit was laughing. “Gotcha! You’re it!” she yelled. Kitty grabbed the knife and ripped it out of her chest laughing. “Awh man Wolfey!” she yelled before jumping up into the rafters to chase her companion. Trey blinked hard repeatable for a second before he too walked down the next set of hallways. The cold air and sharp turns felt like they lasted for miles before Trey found the next staircase leading higher into the facility. The door at the top had no label, it just said “Leo,” in cursive. Trey quickly opened the door, relieved to leave the Experimental Drug Testing level. ------▲------ Mr. Johnson led the group into a room farther down in the EQD Building. The walls were lined with steel plates with red lines between them. As everyone entered the last room on the bottom floor, a woman in a white lab coat and glasses looked up from her clipboard. “Oh, Johnson, I see you’ve brought the guards,” she said. Mr.Johnson paced in front of the large machine that the woman was standing in front of. “Are they coming soon Maddy?” he asked. “They should be here any minute.” She replied. Just then there was a humming noise that steadily became louder and louder. “Here they come,” she announced. At that moment there was a bright flash of light. Shapes began to appear in the center of the device. The blobs began to take shape. They split and took the forms of ponies. Seven of them to be exact. The one in the back towered over the other six in the front, who were all the same size. The light emitted from the pony figures began to fade and the shapes began to take on identities. On the far left was a white pony with a short horn and long purple hair that was curled in an intricate and stylish way. Next to her was was a pink pony with large, pompous curly hair. Beside her was a yellow pony with light pink hair and a face that told the world she was afraid of her new surroundings. Her wings stood out on end as she gazed into the room. Then to the right was a Purple pony with a simple hair cut with straight bangs and a horn in the middle of what looked like highlights. Above and to the right more was a blue pony with wings in full motion. She had rainbow striped hair and a face of curiosity and bravery. On the far right there was an orange pony with tied up hair and a hat. She looked almost queasy from the trip. Behind all of those ponies was the largest and most magestic. There stood a pony with both a long pointed horn and a pair of large wings. Her hair flowed out, almost like the other ponies, only it was softer. She held her head high, and and looked onward with pride. Everyone stood still in astonishment. Celestia slowly walked towards Mr.Johnson smiling. “Hello Andrew!” she said. Mr.Johnson held his hand out to Celestia, “I trust the journey wasn’t that bad?” Receiving the human greeting,“It was actually quite delightful.” “Must have been fun for the other six. It was their first time, right?” questioned Mr.Johnson. Pinkie started bouncing dizzily forward with Applejack walking slowly and steadily behind her. Caught off guard, Dash could hardly hold herself up in the air, she was dropping and elevating every second. Twilight pranced forward and Rarity dragged her bags as she followed behind Twilight, it must have been easier to teleport for unicorns. Fluttershy dropped down and put her hooves over her head, occasionally peeking around, looking at the other people in the room, they all looked so frightening. “Hi Mr. Johnson!” said Twilight, eagerly running up to him, talking about a schedule she had planned for the ponies time in the human world. Alex hopped off Travvy’s back and walked towards Fluttershy was still hiding beneath her hooves. Confused, Alex started poking Fluttershy’s head. Applejack laughed at Alex, “She doesn’t talk much,” she said. Alex looked back blankly at Fluttershy. Travvy came up behind them and rubbed his hand on Alex’s head, playfully messing up her hair, “Neither does she.” he chuckled lowly. Applejack turned away from Fluttershy and Alex’s amusing scene to look at the rest of the guard. She approached Magic with caution, she was very trusting of the humans already. Magic was leaning against a nearby wall twirling his pistols. “Ah like yer hat.” Applejack said smiling. Magic tucked his guns back into his belt, “Heh, I like yours too.” Applejack began telling Magic the story of where she got her hat ,while Pinkie bounced around the room, excited to be around so much more potential friends. Jonathan was now talking with Twilight, Celestia and Mr.Johnson. Twilight was holding a folder. “So as you can see, I made a full schedule of all our activities,” Twilight said. Jonathan held up another folder, “And I went through the time frames of all our activities to make sure we get everything done!” Pinkie Pie slipped up as she bounced around, accidentally knocking the papers out of Jonathan's hands. “Ohhh sorry, hehe,” Jonathan said, bending over to pick up the papers that had dropped. King flew through the air kicking Jonathan in his face, “NO LET ME HELP!” he yelled, landing on top of them, desperate to talk to Pinkie. King and Pinkie started yammering on repeatedly about different thing, hardly listening to the other person. Rainbow Dash hovered on her back in mid air, “What’s up with these humans anyways, they don’t have wings or horns or ANYTHING!” Just then, Dash heard a sound and flipped over. With a small trail of fire shooting from his brown boots, Sky hovered next to a stunned Rainbow Dash. “Cool trick huh,” he laughed. Rainbow and Sky started conversing about how fun it is to fly and Sky’s awesome jet outside. Sky was doing mid air flips while Dash watched in awe and then started to flip around herself. “Heh, show offs,” Foxxy said as he walked towards Rarity, who was still struggling with her bags. “Need some help?” Foxxy drew the scythe off his back and hook all the bag handles with the handle side, scooping them up. “Uhm hehe thank you,” Rarity said blushing. Foxxy smiled and walk side by side with Rarity. Mr. Johnson and Celestia finished talking, “alright everyone, it’s time to show you to your rooms,” Mr. Johnson said. “I’m sure you will find it quite pleasant here on Earth,” said Celestia. ------▲------ Leo shuffled through the papers, scanning each page swiftly before turning to the next. His long, curly white hair almost reached down to his shoulders. “It seems as if everything is going according to my calculations,” said Leo, putting the papers back into the folder and handing it back to Trey. “If everything keeps going this great, we will be more than ready to execute the attack.” Trey laughed and swung his bat playfully, “Yeah, I can hardly wait!” Trey clenched his fist, “I can’t wait to bash some pony skulls-...” Trey suddenly fell to the floor screaming. Leo glanced up casually at him, “Still getting those headaches?” Trey was writhing in pain on the ground, from his body, flaming sparks shot out everywhere. Leo got up and walked to his cabinet as Trey’s screams died out. “I have some pills for you, but you’re going to have to learn to control that.” Leo tossed the pills to Trey, who propped himself up with his bat, before popping two pills in his mouth. “...Thanks...” he said quietly. Just then, David walked in through the staircase door, “Discord wants you, he said it’s time for the surgery...” Trey got up slowly and followed David out the door. Leo casually looked over the list of patients again. ------▲------ It was already midnight when the ponies all gathered in the room that was arranged for them to sleep in. They were all laughing and talking about the guards who had been assigned to them. “I really, really, really like King! He’s sooooooooooo awesome!” Pinkie said jumping around. “Foxxy seems very nice, a nice gentle colt.” Rarity said. “Remember Rarity, it’s gentlemen, we have to get used to how the humans talk.” Twilight corrected. “It feels odd, like learning a new language.” Fluttershy said quietly. “Well we have to get used to it, we will be here awhile.” Twilight said. “Well Ah fer one am enjoyin’ it here.” Applejack said with a grin on her face, “Ah like Magic. We’re...the same, ya know?” “This Sky guy seems ok, I mean he’ll never be as cool as me, but he’s good enough.” Rainbow said, laying on her back, looking at her hoof. “I feel like Jonathan doesn’t like me, he looked a little mad.” Twilight said quietly. “Of course he likes you silly filly!” Pinkie said smiling, “Everypony likes you!” “Don’t worry Twilight,” Fluttershy said, with a comforting smile, “if he doesn’t he’ll warm up to you.” “Thanks guys.” Twilight said, happier from the support. “Sugarcube, what do y’all think will happen at the Brony-whatchamacallit.” Applejack said. “Well, we can’t be certain what will happen in the future, but I’m sure it will be fine. According to Celestia, we are quite popular, so what’s the worst that could happen?” Twilight said smiling. Chapter 3: Bronycon is here8 Months Later Bronycon 2013, Ny,Ny. June 29- As the orange sun peaks in the sky, bronies roamed around the massive convention building. The Mane 6 have yet to arrive, although Celestia has just gotten on stage to address the people. “Hello ladies and gentlecolts, oh, I mean gentlemen. Both the elements of harmony and I are very happy to be here and are glad we could come.” Celestia greeted. After she said this, the crowd roared with cheers and applause. Celestia nodded and smiled, “Soon my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, and her friends will be here, I realize you are very excited to meet them.” After receiving an even louder wave of applause Celestia continued. “Also, I see that there are some people outside who do not like us very well. It’s perfectly alright, let us just love and tolerate them.” From the curtain behind Celestia, appeared Twilight, Jonathan and Mr. Johnson. Twilight was whispering something to Jonathan before she smiled and waved to the crowd. “I knew we wouldn’t make it in time! Your schedule was at least ten minutes off!” She hustled him. Jonathan shrugged and pushed up his glasses. “Just a slight miscalculation, I assure you.” Jonathan said, nonchalantly. “Hello, everyone!” Twilight said smiling, receiving many cheers from her adoring fans. Twilight looked on across the sea of people and could see her own image plastered on some shirts and posters. From behind the curtain again came Pinkie Pie, bouncing along by herself. The cheering and yells she received totally blocked out the beginning of Twilight’s speech. Upon noticing the large crowd, Pinkie’s eyes filled with excitement. She turned and looked toward the curtain waiting. Next came, Spike and King, both walking slowly and trying to look cool. “Yeah man, just pretend like they are not even there,” King laughed. Spike’s knees were quaking a little, “I never should have come, I hate big crowds.” Pinkie ran up to King who handed her a suitcase. “I’m so glad I made a second batch yesterday for everyone!” Pinkie popped open the suitcase and started tossing cupcakes to the cheering crowd. Afterwards, she handed the last cupcake to King who accepted it with a big smile and ate it on the way across the stage. Spike walked back to Twilight’s side. “Getting along well without me?” He asked. Twilight, noticing his arrival and hugged him. Spike had decided to wait till the actual day of Bronycon to travel to the human world. Through the back door of the stage room, entered Travvy. He was holding Fluttershy and Alex on his back, but something was wrong. He was heaving and showed signs of battle. “Sorry, ran into a little trouble on the way here, that crowd outside is really getting violent.” Fluttershy hopped onto the floor and ran to the safety of her friends, before falling over at the sight of the crowd. Most of them had gone silent after seeing Travvy, his large stature and axe combined with the fact that he looked like he had just wrestled a bear was very off putting. After finally working up the courage Fluttershy moved to the microphone and gave a small “Hi,” to the crowd. She received many cheers from the audience from just one small hello. Fluttershy blushed and hid behind Travvy. The cheers of the crowd died down again once the sound of an engine rose. Magic’s black limo was parting the crowd as it pulled up to the stage. Magic got out of the side and then opened the door for Applejack who immediately gained a large applause of cheering and yelling. King chuckled and whispered to Pinkie Pie, “Show off.” Pinkie giggled. But just then, the familiar loud rev of a motor cycle tore through the air. Jonathan peered through the distance, “I think you stand corrected.” Foxxy’s pure white ninja dodged the audience as it whipped side to side, now complete with a white pony wrapped around the drivers back. Foxxy wheeled up and popped onto the back of Magic’s limo, ramping onto the stage where he spun and then stopped. Rarity hopped off the back and took off her helmet, her hair miraculously still amazing. The crowd was now roaring even louder at these amazing spectacles. Peering into the sky King said back to Jonathan, “Actually, I think you stand corrected.” Sky’s jet flew circles around the top of the building, blasting the My Little Pony theme, to the cheers of the audience and the dismay of haters rallying outside. After flicking the autopilot switch, Sky opened the hatch and dived out, his jet boots shooting long blue streaks of fire now. Behind him, Rainbow Dash’s long rainbow streak trailed, as her body aerodynamically flew through the skylight with Sky. “HELLOOOO NEW YORK!” Rainbow yelled as she zoomed around. Sky landed on stage gracefully while Rainbow Dash, busy trying to impress the audience crash behind him, gaining her many playful laughs. The ponies all gathered together as their guards stood behind them. They all laughed and giggled at the fact that they were so liked by the crowd. They felt empowered and excited to meet each and every one of them. But they soon fell silent with the rest of the crowd when Celestia decided to speak again. “Now then,” Celestia began, “I really must say that it is such a pleasure to be here to greet you all. I never knew we had so many fans and and friends. I can’t believe that this many people came just to see us. We are all very glad to be able to see you all and talk to you. I realize that not everyone likes us, and that is perfectly alright.” Celestia wiped her eyes with a small tissue before continuing, “Really, we were all surprised we were invited, and we simply must do this again, I would personally like to meet each and everyone of you. I will be happy to talk to you all and I really do appreciate all of you coming to see us. I ca--” Celestia was cut short by a large explosion that was heard at the base of the building, near the large doors where security tried to keep the haters from entering, and making sure the fans with tickets get in. Mr. Johnson slowly turned and looked at the guard. “We’re on it Andrew.” Said Foxxy, hopping back on his bike and speeding off. The others followed in his wake, the crowd cheering as they made their way to the front doors where hundreds of angry people rushed in and started wreaking chaos. Mr. Johnson turned towards Celestia, “Ah, This kind of thing isn’t normal. I think something is behind this attack.” “Or someone...” Said Celestia. ------▲------ Foxxy’s bike was skimming through the anti bronies. Occasionally from the front it would shoot a blast of pressurized air, blowing away everything in its wake. Magic swiftly made his way to the balcony over looking the ground floor and began shooting rubber bullets at the frenzied citizens below. Sky zoomed through the air, kicking and kneeing at the attackers while tried to shepherd the bronies to safety. King, Jonathan and Travvy had also joined the fray, sending their opponents flying in all directions. Alex and the mane 6 were still back on the stage, standing behind Celestia. Rainbow Dash stepped forward. “Shouldn’t we be helping them?” She asked frantically. Celestia’s wing blocked her path, “No, it is far too dangerous. We must trust in our human companions in this time of need.” As the attackers tried to pass the defense of the guards, Trey silently crept behind Magic. “Pretty awesome huh?” He chuckled. Magic quickly turned around, aiming the blades on his pistols at Trey. The kid was too fast though, sending his bat toward Magic and knocking him onto the floor. Trey stood on the balcony and yelled out across the hectic scene. “That’s it! Destroy it all!” Magic stood back up, staring up to Trey and aiming his pistols dead center. “Really now? Aren’t you a little busy at the moment?” Trey took out a switch and flipped it before turning around and heading back towards the ponies. The switch had triggers the explosives laced around the stage room where the rest of the group, sending dust and debris everywhere. “Shit.” Magic said, running back up to the stage room. Foxxy turned his motorcycle around, whipping backwards. “The ponies are the number one priority!” He yelled. “What about the bronies!?!” Sky yelled back to him. “Looks like they are gonna have to fight their own battles!” King yelled back. Jonathan sent a crazed teenager flying, “I don’t like it, but we don’t have much of a choice.” After making their way back to the stage room and wading through the smoke, they followed the distressed cries of the ponies. As the haters broke through the makeshift brony defenses, the guards knew they had to get the ponies to a safer place. Jonathan led Twilight back behind the curtain making a mad dash to the farthest escape door. Alex led Fluttershy out the back door they came from while Travvy and King held off the attackers rushing into the stage room door. “GO!” Travvy yelled to King before shoving back most of his opponents. King ran back to Pinkie Pie just as a white limo broke through the stage room walls. Zooming past the guard and rubble and heading towards Pinkie. King dived at Pinkie, grabbing her and dodging the limo before he ran straight out of the hole in the wall. The limo spun in a donut before a man in black got out, grabbed Rarity and threw her into the car before it sped out the way it came. Foxxy’s bike swerved passed the rest of them as it exited the building, trailing the limo. Travvy ran backwards, heaving from all the dust and left through the exit Alex and Fluttershy escaped from. Rainbow Dash zoomed up through the skylight, while Sky jumped over everyone and blasted up after her. As Celestia and Mr. Johnson ran upstairs to the control room, Magic stood in front of Applejack, shielding her from the falling rubble. Trey parted though the haters as he walked into the stage room. Applejack was cowering behind Magic, not used to being in a situation she couldn’t get herself out of. “Well, well, well, looks like it’s just me and you.” Said Trey, approaching the stage. Magic drew his guns once more, “Looks like i’ll be switching to live ammunition.” he laughed. Faster than Trey’s eyes could follow Magic shot a bullet. It flew at Trey, who in the knick of time, shielded himself with the bat. Trey grinned, “Is that all you’ve go--” The bullet exploded into smoke, blinding Trey’s vision temporarily. When he looked up seconds later, Magic’s fist collided with his face, sending him flying. “Payback’s a bitch, huh?” Magic said, sprinting at Trey. “I’ve got some tricks of my own!” Trey yelled, pointing his finger at Magic and sending long streaks of kinetic fire. Magic manage to roll under them, but was hit by Trey’s bat. The two traded blows, each earning the occasional knife cut or bat bruise. Magic rolled backward unleashing a barrage of bullets before reloading. The bullets released a special acid after hitting a surface. Trey started running circles around Magic, trying his best to dodge the bullets. It was clear Trey was slowly making his way closer to Magic as he reloaded. Trey raised his bat, but Magic aimed his pistol at Trey, pressing a button on the side and shooting out the bayonet. It deeply shot into Trey’s side, stunning him momentarily. “Y-You asshole,” Trey gasped, blood leaking from some of his wounds. Trey shot a blast of fire from his bat that surrounded Magic. “Sissy’s like you that watch girly ponies don’t even deserve to live.” Said Trey, removing the knife from his stomach. Magic looked up at him, smiling. “That’s what you think.” Just then, Magic knocked the bat out of Trey’s hands with the butt of his pistol and got up with blinding speed. Trey was stunned and couldn’t recuperate. Magic sped up to Trey until they were face to face. Magic then started jabbing at Trey’s stomach, making him cough blood and with one last blow, Magic stabbed Trey in the chest with the other bayonet, making blood spew onto the stage floor. Trey fell to his knees, slumping forward. Magic turned around to Applejack, panting out of breath from fighting. “I-I’m sorry you had to see that.” Magic said, resting his hand on his knees, bending over. Applejack looked around, she had never witnessed something so violent. Her life in Ponyville was carefree, nobody ever really dies. They sort of just... disappeared. Applejack stood up, her eyes trying to avoid the body. “Are ya okay?” asked Applejack. “I’m fine, we just have to meet up with the rest of the team.” Magic said. Just then, a loud scream from a jet came from above as heavy artillery could be heard from the ground. “Looks like Sky’s got his hands full.” Magic said. Chapter 4: Flight of the FoxFoxxy sped through the oncoming traffic and police barricades around the perimeter of the convention building. The white limo speeding in front of him was gracefully driving through each obstacle while Foxxy’s bike made sporadic turns. The white ninja was shooting very accurate blasts of pressurized air, but the limo was heavily plated and hardly showed signs of damage. Luckily, a sharp turn caught the driver off guard and as the limo swerved on two wheels, Foxxy manage to land a shot at the back wheel. The limo was now swaying as it raced forward, but after another shot to the side, the momentum on the vehicle caused it to slip onto its side, sliding down the rode into a pole. The busted limo sat lying on its side as Foxxy pulled up twenty feet from it and hopped off his bike. Drawing his long, black scythe off his back, he carefully walked towards the incapacitated machine. Just then, the door of the limo was kicked straight off it’s hinges and sent flying towards Foxxy. “Where is she?” Foxxy said lowly, sidestepping the door. “You mean this little thing?” A head emerged from the limo. It was none other than the infamous, billionaire genius Leo Vi Deci. As he climbed out of the limo, he carried an unconscious Rarity by the mane. His white, long hair showed signs of blood, most likely from the crash of the vehicle. “That idiot driver.” Leo said, tossing Rarity’s body on the ground next to limo. “Ruining my hair and suit, I’m glad he died.” At the sight of Rarity’s body, Foxxy strategically began to circle Leo, forcing him to move in sync or to turn his back to Foxxy to safeguard Rarity. Leo made his decision, drawing his thin rapier he lunged at Foxxy. Using incredible speed for such a large weapon, Foxxy parried Leo and they began the intricate dance of sword play. Lunging and striking Foxxy, with his superior speed, Leo managed to land a great amount of blows. Foxxy swung the great scythe, cleaving the air with its immense power, all he needed was one clean swipe to destroy Leo, metaphorically, ripping the soul straight from his body. As Leo stepped back for another lunge, Foxxy made a choice. Slamming the blade of the scythe into the ground, he used the momentum to fling his body, kicking Leo in the face and sending him backward. Leo quickly recovered as Foxxy pursued him. “What a nuisance...” said Leo as Foxxy raised his scythe for the finishing blow. Leo pressed the trigger on the handle of his sword, and then moved the blade to block Foxxy’s attack. “That little thing can’t handle the force of my weapon!” Foxxy yelled, swinging the scythe down. Leo smiled as the blades collided, and Foxxy fell to the ground, paralyzed. “Funny isn’t, that such a small thing could stop that brutish weapon? Well, with the help of some high voltage.” Leo held down the trigger as an arc of electricity shot between his rapier and the scythe, causing Foxxy’s body to twitch. Foxxy gurgled while his body gave violent spasms. His hand slowly inching its way on the handle of the Scythe. Along the base of the handle were a series of triggers, if only he could reach them. “I thought you would have proved to be more of a challenge,” Leo said, raising his foot above Foxxy’s skull. At last, Foxxy managed to reach the first trigger on the handle, pressing it roughly. The blade and top handles of the scythe disconnected from the rest as Foxxy rolled out of the way of Leo’s foot. It was revealed that the scythe was actually two separate pieces, connected by a long rubber cord. As Foxxy rolled up and back onto his feet, he whipped the handle he was holding into the air. The rubber didn’t allow the electricity to pass through, but it still moved the blade. As the black blade sprung up, it tore through the leg of a surprised Leo, leaving him yelling in pain. “YOU CURRR!” Leo screamed as he fell to the ground, crimsons blood shooting from his massive gash. Foxxy pressed a series of triggers to return the blade and connect it to the scythe. As Foxxy walked over to the pale and bleeding Leo, Leo tried to protect himself with his rapier. Foxxy raised his scythe, “Like I said, that small thing won’t protect you from true power.” Foxxy slammed down the scythe vertically, cutting Leo almost in two, leaving a large cut in the rocky ground. Foxxy wiped the sweat off his warm forehead, before wiping the blade on the edge of Leo white suit and leaving large red prints. Foxxy connected his weapon back onto the holder on his back. He slowly walked over to Rarity, who was just regaining consciousness. “Wake up sleepyhead,” Foxxy said quietly, picking up Rarity and setting her on the back on the bike. “Wh--Whaa happened,” she asked groggily, glancing at Leo’s body vagueing. Foxxy quickly whipped the cycle around as Rarity clenched onto his back. He turned from the fight and looked towards the convention building which was smoking and flaming. “Oh nothing happened haha, just a little trouble,” Foxxy tried to sound calm. *bzzzzzt* “Captain Foxxy come in!” The radio on the motorcycle went off. “Yeah Andrew?” Foxxy asked, recognizing the voice. “It’s Fl -- BACK! HIYA! -- It’s Fluttershy! I need you to pick her up! I’m sending you the coordinates now!” “Got ‘em.’”, Foxxy said as he rode into the distance. ------▲------ King and Pinkie sat on top the Statue of Liberty, munching on cupcakes and other assorted candies as they talked about their day so far. They manage to make it away from all the chaos so far. “And then I met a fan who--...” Pinkie stopped. King’s eyes opened, “Something wrong kiddo?” Pinkie’s mane began to twitch as King stood up. ------▲------ Spikes was clambering in dusty hallways of the convention building. Coughing small fireballs as the smoke filled his lungs. He stepped into the main lobby and the site that met him wasn’t pretty. Mayhem was strewn about the place as bronies fought for their lives and debris was everywhere and still falling from the broken ceiling. “Twilight!” he screamed, but it was useless. His yell was lost amongst the many other cries of people being killed down below. “Goodbye Spikey Wikey.” said a scratchy voice behind him. Spike turned around to see a man standing there with a shotgun to his face. “Say your prayers you little pest.” he yelled. Spike closed his eyes and waited for the man to shoot his gun, but instead came a grunt of pain. Spike reopened his eyes to see that the man had been struck by a staff and as he followed the staff to the owner, he was happy to discover Jonathan and Twilight were at the end of it. “Get on!” yelled Twilight, gesturing to her back with her head. Spike got on her back and started to cry. “I thought I was a goner!” he sobbed. “Don’t worry. We have Jonathan to protect us.” Spike looked up at the man, but could not see his eyes through the glaring glass. Jonathan held a stern expression and battered his way through a bunch of anti-bronies with Twilight closely behind him. “Thank Celestia.” he said before passing out from exhaustion. Twilight sighed. “Yep.” she said softly.
Chapter 1: The Gangs all Here“Wha-? We’re goin’ where!?” asked a surprised Applejack. Twilight gleefully turned toward Applejack, “I said we are going to be visiting the human world.” “What’s a human?” asked a confused Pinkie Pie. Dash turned over as she hovered in midair, “Those things Lyra is always going on about?” she giggled. “Princess Celestia was telling me about them. They are a sophisticated species that appreciates all the work we do here in Ponyville,” Twilight said happily. “Hu-Human....?” whispered Fluttershy, “Are they nice?” Rarity was bouncing up and down cheerfully, “I heard the human world has whole new lines of fashion, not even Canterlot has seen!” she said, smiling. “So why do we have to go?” asked Dash. Twilight pulled out a letter from a nearby drawer. “We don’t have to go, Princess Celestia just wanted us to be there. She said it would be good to learn about the magic of friendship on Earth, it’s all in this letter she sent me.” Twilight opened the letter and began to read out loud. “Dear Twilight Sparkle and Friends, It is with great happiness I tell you that the following year, you have been invited to a grand event on Earth. Humans from across the land will be meeting to hear about your discoveries in the magic of friendship and the elements of harmony! I hope to see you there! -Princess Celestia” ------▲------ Dim lights shone through the corridor, casting shadows on the dust drifting through the air. The generals boots stomping down on the ground, sending echoes throughout the base as he walked. Turning sharply, the general entered through the door to the mission room. Inside was a long rounded table, where men in green suits sat silently. Their clothes all adorned with a variation of medals and shining pins. “Status report,” chuckled the general as he fell lazily into the highest chair. One of the men slid a file across the table to him. The man’s eyes never made eye contact with the general’s as he told him the news. “The depression drugs are successfully blocking Patient 4’s dopamine, but he hasn't woken from his sleep in days....” The general just laughed, “Ohhh interesting,” he said grinning. “The cybernetics linked into Patient 5 aren’t turning out as well as we hoped though sir...” the man was sweating, fearing a punishment for delivering this news. The general spinned around in his chair, everyone in the room besides him was still and silent. “I don’t think we’ll even need them, he’s a very fun person, we won’t need to control him too much.” The man shuffled his papers, “On the other hand, the dopamine producing drugs are working perfectly, Patients 6 and 7 are cooperating without hesitation.” The general stopped spinning. “Sounds...boring...Take away the drugs, let them live without them for a while, that should be fun.” The man looked even further away from the general’s glance, “But sir, we don’t know the consequences of withdrawal...” The general shifted in his high chair, “Even better!” he laughed. “I suppose Leo will want these reports too...” The general sighed, “TREY!” he yelled. The other men all stiffened up as they heard footsteps from the down the corridor. “What do you want old man?” said a kid as he walked into the mission room. Trey was dressed like your average teenager. He wore a red shirt with a peace symbol on it that matched his red converse. His short dark hair mostly covered by his red baseball cap. One hand was tucked into his pocket while the other dragged a baseball bat. “Take these up to Leo why don’t you?” said the general, thrusting the papers out towards Trey. “Are you kidding? And run into those crazies? I can’t believe you let those freaks run free around this place...can’t be healthy.” The general just held out the papers again and Trey snatched them reluctantly. Trey sped off to the the door, dragging his bat on the floor. As he turned the corner, one of the papers fell from the stack and floated lightly to the floor. One of the men in suits grabbed it and handed it to Trey, his hand quaking, “Uhm sir, you dropped th-” The man got cut off when Trey’s bat made contact with his face, knocking his head straight back, severing his spine. Trey grabbed the paper as it fell mid air, he sped off back down the hall quickly. “Thanks,” he laughed. The general cracked up, “I do love that kid,” he said. The general turned back toward the man holding his own set of folders and papers, “Continue.” The man began to speak, but was cut off by a loud, low moan. He started up again, “The mind control serum seems to be disabling Patient 2’s brain at an alarming rate, although her nerves and tendons are growing and rising in response to the experimental testing.” Another moan broke out amongst the room as a woman crawled in through the door and collapsed on the floor. She had on a white t-shirt and white pants, her bare feet sprawled as her black haired head laid on the floor. “Continue,” the general said again ignoring this. The man went on, “Well sir...uhm...as you can see, her motor skills are still very basic, and she is still unable to form words or use sign languages.” The woman's head twitch violently as she moaned in pain. “Hmmm, very well,” the general said quietly, “take my daughter back up to her room.” The man walked quickly over to the woman, picking her up and exiting the room. The general turned slowly in his chair, eyes closed. Noises could be heard upstairs. Treys voice echoed, “LEAVE ME ALONE YOU ROBOT FREAK!!!” It was followed by more yelling, “GET BACK HERE AND FIGHT ME YOU LITTLE PUSSY!” ------▲------ Celestia stood on her balcony, looking over her vast kingdom as the sun was setting. Her chambers were located to the west of the castle. As she stared out into the sun, she could easily oversee that it was being lowered correctly. As the day slowly came to an end, she let out a sigh of relief, the chores of the day were finally over. As the sound of galloping echoed behind her, she realized she was not done just yet. Hoovesteps could be heard through her door, seemingly advancing towards her bed quarters. Turning her back on the sun, Celestia turned around just in time to see Shining Armor burst through the door. “Princess! There has been some urgent news I am to deliver to you,” he gasped. “What is it Shining?” asked Celestia. Shining Armour looked at her grimly, “There is word of an attack that is going to be made on my sister and her friends upon their arrival in the Human realm next year.” Celestia’s face hardened and her eyes grew narrow. “What do you suppose we do Princess?” asked Armour. Celestia paced the room, “We must assemble a team of the finest fighters to protect them.” “I have just the Colts in mind. Let me just-” Shining was cut off. Celestia stopped him, “No. We must contact the worlds human fighters. Humans are still very much unknown to us and we might not be able to protect my little ponies using just our techniques.” “How do you suppose we contact the humans Your Highness?” Shining asked softly, he had never trusted the humans. He had always heard tales of their brutality and selfishness. Celestia rose her head. “Send out a letter to Equestria Daily immediately, we will need their assistance greatly.” “What makes you think they shall agree to helping us?” asked Armour. “Because it is there we will find the most powerful and faithful bronies!” Celestia’s voiced boomed. ------▲------ “Are you ready Twilight?” asked Celestia standing outside of the teleportation circle. “Almost Princess. Just getting all of our stuff together,” Fluttershy said. “Hey! Has anypony seen Pinkie? Ah can’t find her anywhere.” said Applejack as she walked out the door. “Here I am!” said Pinkie, walking in with a suitcase in her mouth. “What do you need a suitcase for? You don’t even wear clothes,” said Rainbow, holding back her giggles at Pinkie’s randomness. “Well I needed something to carry all my cupcakes in!” yelled Pinkie defensively, making the suitcase fly out of her mouth. As it hit the ground, at least a dozen cupcakes flew out and landed on the ground. Rainbow Dash gave in and started laughing with Fluttershy and Applejack. Rarity bursted through the door, being pushed by Twilight. “Rarity! We have to go soon!” Rarity was struggling to go back into the room. “NOOO! I don’t have enough hats! Did I leave my scarf? I need my extra fabrics!” she yelled. A large stallion followed behind them, carrying Rarity’s many bags. “We’re only going to be gone for around a year Rarity!” shouted Twilight. “You’re right!” she exclaimed with a gasp. “I don’t think I packed enough!” Twilight responded with a groan and then a grunt of effort to get Rarity into the center of the circle. Accepting defeat, Rarity stopped resisting and gave in, plopping her flank onto the ground. “Okay. So is everypony ready?” asked Celestia, standing at the ready. “Yes Princess. Let’s do this!” yelled Twilight. Both Celestia and Twilight’s horns lit up and and a gust of wind blew around them. Then with a single, blinding flash, they disappeared from the Library floor and were off to the Human world. ------▲------ The parking lot in the back of the Equestria Daily building was pristine and clear as the warm sun shone down upon it. Andrew Johnson, the executive of Equestria Daily stood outside the back doors, checking his old watch every few minutes as he waited for the arrival of the ponies new bodyguards. As Mr.Johnson’s eyes squinted from the sun, a black limo pulled silently into the lot, turning around the corner and stopping in front of Andrew. A lean man wearing a pinstriped suit and a cowboy hat exited the car and made his way to Mr.Johnson. Extending his hand to the man, Mr.Johnson spoke clearly, “Ah Mister Roy Magic, glad you could make it.” “Please just call me Magic.” the man said, shaking Johnson’s hand with a firm grip. “Alright Magic. We are aware that you favor Applejack over the rest of the Mane 6. Is this correct?” “I sure do.” Magic said, tipping his stetson towards him. “Ah Perfect. Now we must wait for the-” Their conversation was interrupted by the screeching sound of a jet. Over the horizon, a checkered red and orange flamed aircraft, blasted through the air and was headed straight for the EQD building. “Ah, Here comes another recruit right now!” yelled Johnson, over the roar. The Jet came to an almost immediate halt over the parking lot and landed safely on the asphalt. As Magic stared in curiosity, the pilot jumped out of the cockpit to greet them. He was dressed in a leather aviator's jacket and white dress pants. His goggles hung lazily about his neck. “How’s it goin’? The name’s Sky.” the pilot said, sounding perky and confident. “Ah, welcome! Magic, this is Sky. He is the most prominent flyer around. “I can see that.” said Magic with a smirk, obviously referring to the Jet in the middle of the parking lot. “Nice to meet ya!” said Sky, averting Magic’s gaze from his jet to himself. “Pleasure.” said Magic, unconvincingly. Sky just looked on awkwardly. “So! When will everyone else arrive?” Just then, Mr Johnson turned as the doors behind him flew opened. A large blond man carrying an axe walked outside slowly. Riding on his back was a small dark haired girl with a bow on her back, and a small sword to her side. “Ah yes, Sir Travis and Lady Alex, I see you have already arrived,” said Mr.Johnson The blond man’s voice was deep and harsh, “I go by Travvy now a days.” he said lowly. His light blond hair was covering his scarred face, and muffling his voice. His many pelts of various fur was stained with blood, a gruesome scene that was only made easier to witness because of the beautiful girl sleeping on his back. Alex’s pelted armour was much lighter and cleaner than that of her companions. Her long black hair swayed back and forth as Travvy walked out to meet Sky and Magic. After shaking hands and going through introductions, the gang waited about for more recruits. After a long delay, they heard an explosion over the rooftop. Everyone looked above as small chunks of debris fell. “Give those back!” a soft voice yelled, followed by another loud explosion. A man dressed in a black duster jumped from the top of the roof, rolling as he landed in front of everyone laughing. In one, large metal plated hand he held a fedora loosely and in the other gloved hand, he held large rounded glasses. “Ah, I’m assuming you are the one they call King?” said Mr.Johnson. King laughed and nodded, he opened his mouth to speak but was kicked in the face by another man that jumped off the roof. Mr.Johnson went to help King up, “Now, Master Jonathan, please refrain from such vulgar acts while we have company.” King quickly got up off the ground laughing. Jonathan thoroughly fixed his sweater vest and dress pants, dusting himself off, before taking the glasses out of King’s grips and placing them back on his face. He quickly looked around to find his staff which was lying on the ground. “I don’t think that was very funny at all!” Jonathan said sternly to King, who was still laughing uncontrollably. King rubbed, his face, feeling the swelling lump, “Totally worth it,” he chuckled. Jonathan glared at him, and King gave him a weak innocent smile. Off in the distance a loud motor could be heard clearly. As the sound grew closer, the gang saw a pure white Kawasaki Ninja drift into the lot. The motorcycle drove up to Sky’s jet, and the guy riding it hopped off, leaving his helmet on the parked cycle. The dark skinned guy approached Mr.Johnson slowly, his short curly hair protruding from the top on his red beanie. On his back was strapped a large pitch black scythe, it’s blade reaching up to the cloth fox ears that were attached to the beanie. His white scarf hung lowly off his back, almost impossible to see when match with his white leather jacket. His black skate shoes match his black jeans just as his jacket and scarf matched the white stripe that was bleached through his hair. “Hey Andrew, long time no see,” he said nonchalantly. “Ah, evening, Captain Foxxy. Well, now that the gang has arrived, we shall be meeting with the mane 6 soon. If you would all kindly follow me.” Mr.Johnson turned back towards the back of the EQD Building, holding open the doors. As the group entered the building, they were hit with the smell of rubbing alcohol, much like the steril hallways of a hospital. Magic stared hard ahead of him as Sky looked in all directions next to him and King was in the back, still laughing and rubbing at his swollen cheek. “Alright ladies and Gentlemen, the time to act is near. Please follow me into this meeting room where we will discuss our plans.” said Johnson, suddenly serious. Foxxy’s hand was against the wall, tracing the curvature of the building slowly. The band of six walked into the room one by one. It was dimly lit and only one long table ran the length of it. Each member sat down at the table, after depositing their weapons and waited for Johnson to get to the head. When he did, he turned on a projector that displayed an image on the screen behind him. Travvy shook Alex gently, her soft brown eyes opening and adjusting to the dark room. “You’ve all been selected because we know that all of you are powerful fighters. We also know that all of you care deeply for the mane 6 and are anxiously awaiting their arrival and would dedicate your lives to protecting them. Well...that’s exactly what each of you are going to do.” Mr.Johnson turned around the room....”Magic!” he exasperated. “Yeah?” asked Magic in a bored fashion. “You are in charge of guarding Applejack.” Magic’s eyes brightened but his expression remained the same. “Sky!” “Yes sir!” he yelled with a military tone. “You will take to the skies and protect Rainbow Dash.” “Will do, sir!” “Travvy, Alex!” Travvy gave a low grunt and Alex’s head whipped around to face Mr.Johnson “You two will be in charge of guarding Fluttershy.” Again, Travvy responded with a low grunt as Alex’s eyes filled with joy. “King!” “What do you want Buttercup?” he chuckled “That’s Mister Buttercup to you! and you will also be guarding Twilight Sparkle.” Mr.Johnson said. King looked up, “Wha? Don’t stick me with her, I want somepony fun!” “Of course, I see, how about Pinkie Pie then?” said Mr.Johnson smiling, as if he had planned that out. “Yipee!” King exclaimed. Foxxy raised his hand as if this was school, “If we are picking now, can I guard Rarity?” he asked. Mr.Johnson laughed, “I see no reason why you cannot!” Foxxy slid back into his chair, “Thanks Andrew.” “And finally, Jonathan! You will be guarding Twilight Sparkle.” “Fantastic” said Jonathan in a blank tone. “Alright is everyone one the same page?” Everyone in the room gave an unintelligible noise in response but the tone seemed to be agreeable. “Alright then! Let’s go meet them shall we?”
Chapter 2: Getting to know your fellow BronyChapter 2: Trey was huffing up and down as he sprinted down the hallway on the physical development floor. Patient 5, a cybernetic man, shirtless and wielding a large katana continued to chase him. “RRRRAH!” the man yelled, flying through the air and landing on top of Trey. “Get the fuck off of me, you asshole!” Trey yelled as he squirmed underneath the man. His mechanical left leg and right arm was sparking, and had loose wires sticking out. “I have a name you know!” The man yelled down at Trey. Trey started laughing mischievously, “Why? It’s not like we name toasters or printers!” The man slammed his sword down in front of Trey’s face, “The name’s David, kid, gave it to myself yesterday.” The left half of David’s face was glowing faintly red, and his dark metal red eye scanned Trey’s face. David, got off Trey and walked back down the hall, “Meh, I don’t even know why I try to fight with you, kid, you’re not even half a challenge.” Trey stood up and dusted himself off, mumbling curses under his breathe. After collecting the loose papers, Trey continued walking up the stairs to the next building level. Pushing through the door labeled, “Experimental Drug Testing,” Trey found himself looking down a long maze of hallways. The ceiling was extended, and though it was to see, Trey made out metal bars running the length of the ceiling. As Trey continued walking, his ears filled with the distant screams, ringing throughout the building. “This placed always creeps me out.” Trey said quietly to himself. “Alright, keep calm Trey, just find the exit and get the fuck out of here.” He was sweating now. The darkness seemed so dense around him, like it was thicker than regular darkness. The lack of light was sucking the courage out of him. “I just have to drop these off with Leo, and then I can go...” He said to himself. “...Get what to Leo...” Trey froze in place. Directly behind him, Patient 4, Sai, stood silently. Trey turned around slowly and was face to face with Sai. Trey backed up, moving away from Sai’s shirtless scarred body. From under Sai’s long hair, that was covering his pale face and red eyes, his low and dark voice traveled to Trey, “What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?” “St- Stay away from me...” Trey whispered. “Aren’t you supposed to be sleeping or so- something...?” Sai slowly walked forward, the ball and chain around his ankles dragging as he did so. “Since when do they let little kids into the loop?” Sai’s eyes quickly locked onto the folder in Trey’s hand. “Or are you just the little messenger boy? Why don’t you hand that over...?” Trey backed up faster, trying to separate himself from Sai. The loud clacking of the steel balls and chain rang out through the halls and Sai stumbled toward Trey. Panicking, Trey turned quickly and ran into a soft surface. “Huh? Did you come up here to play too?” Trey turned quickly and saw a young girl in a cute kitten costume looking at him. “Oh it’s just you...” he said sighing. Trey turned back to Sai, who was now a foot from his face. “Errr...what do you want with this data shit anyways? You know as well as I do theres no escape from this place.” The little kitten suit girl jumped and landed in front of Trey, “He wants to know what his life was like before all this,” she said smiling. Sai was frozen in place staring at Trey. The girl continued, “He wants to know his family,” she giggled. Sai kicked his leg quickly and the steel ball at the end flew towards the girl. She gracefully jumped over it, back flipping and landing behind Trey. “Well you’re out of luck anyways guy, I don’t think they have any background info in here,” Trey said, shaking the folder lightly. Sai’s eyes closed slowly as he blankly started walking the other direction back down the hall. “How do you think he sleeps like th-” Trey was cut off. “So do you wanna play tag?” the girl said smiling. Trey scratched his head, “Uhm no Kitty, I’m alright. Hey isn’t there suppose to be two of you?” Just then, a shining black knife flew into Kitty’s side, cause crimson blood to streak down her chest. From the steel bars above, another girl, in a wolf suit was laughing. “Gotcha! You’re it!” she yelled. Kitty grabbed the knife and ripped it out of her chest laughing. “Awh man Wolfey!” she yelled before jumping up into the rafters to chase her companion. Trey blinked hard repeatable for a second before he too walked down the next set of hallways. The cold air and sharp turns felt like they lasted for miles before Trey found the next staircase leading higher into the facility. The door at the top had no label, it just said “Leo,” in cursive. Trey quickly opened the door, relieved to leave the Experimental Drug Testing level. ------▲------ Mr. Johnson led the group into a room farther down in the EQD Building. The walls were lined with steel plates with red lines between them. As everyone entered the last room on the bottom floor, a woman in a white lab coat and glasses looked up from her clipboard. “Oh, Johnson, I see you’ve brought the guards,” she said. Mr.Johnson paced in front of the large machine that the woman was standing in front of. “Are they coming soon Maddy?” he asked. “They should be here any minute.” She replied. Just then there was a humming noise that steadily became louder and louder. “Here they come,” she announced. At that moment there was a bright flash of light. Shapes began to appear in the center of the device. The blobs began to take shape. They split and took the forms of ponies. Seven of them to be exact. The one in the back towered over the other six in the front, who were all the same size. The light emitted from the pony figures began to fade and the shapes began to take on identities. On the far left was a white pony with a short horn and long purple hair that was curled in an intricate and stylish way. Next to her was was a pink pony with large, pompous curly hair. Beside her was a yellow pony with light pink hair and a face that told the world she was afraid of her new surroundings. Her wings stood out on end as she gazed into the room. Then to the right was a Purple pony with a simple hair cut with straight bangs and a horn in the middle of what looked like highlights. Above and to the right more was a blue pony with wings in full motion. She had rainbow striped hair and a face of curiosity and bravery. On the far right there was an orange pony with tied up hair and a hat. She looked almost queasy from the trip. Behind all of those ponies was the largest and most magestic. There stood a pony with both a long pointed horn and a pair of large wings. Her hair flowed out, almost like the other ponies, only it was softer. She held her head high, and and looked onward with pride. Everyone stood still in astonishment. Celestia slowly walked towards Mr.Johnson smiling. “Hello Andrew!” she said. Mr.Johnson held his hand out to Celestia, “I trust the journey wasn’t that bad?” Receiving the human greeting,“It was actually quite delightful.” “Must have been fun for the other six. It was their first time, right?” questioned Mr.Johnson. Pinkie started bouncing dizzily forward with Applejack walking slowly and steadily behind her. Caught off guard, Dash could hardly hold herself up in the air, she was dropping and elevating every second. Twilight pranced forward and Rarity dragged her bags as she followed behind Twilight, it must have been easier to teleport for unicorns. Fluttershy dropped down and put her hooves over her head, occasionally peeking around, looking at the other people in the room, they all looked so frightening. “Hi Mr. Johnson!” said Twilight, eagerly running up to him, talking about a schedule she had planned for the ponies time in the human world. Alex hopped off Travvy’s back and walked towards Fluttershy was still hiding beneath her hooves. Confused, Alex started poking Fluttershy’s head. Applejack laughed at Alex, “She doesn’t talk much,” she said. Alex looked back blankly at Fluttershy. Travvy came up behind them and rubbed his hand on Alex’s head, playfully messing up her hair, “Neither does she.” he chuckled lowly. Applejack turned away from Fluttershy and Alex’s amusing scene to look at the rest of the guard. She approached Magic with caution, she was very trusting of the humans already. Magic was leaning against a nearby wall twirling his pistols. “Ah like yer hat.” Applejack said smiling. Magic tucked his guns back into his belt, “Heh, I like yours too.” Applejack began telling Magic the story of where she got her hat ,while Pinkie bounced around the room, excited to be around so much more potential friends. Jonathan was now talking with Twilight, Celestia and Mr.Johnson. Twilight was holding a folder. “So as you can see, I made a full schedule of all our activities,” Twilight said. Jonathan held up another folder, “And I went through the time frames of all our activities to make sure we get everything done!” Pinkie Pie slipped up as she bounced around, accidentally knocking the papers out of Jonathan's hands. “Ohhh sorry, hehe,” Jonathan said, bending over to pick up the papers that had dropped. King flew through the air kicking Jonathan in his face, “NO LET ME HELP!” he yelled, landing on top of them, desperate to talk to Pinkie. King and Pinkie started yammering on repeatedly about different thing, hardly listening to the other person. Rainbow Dash hovered on her back in mid air, “What’s up with these humans anyways, they don’t have wings or horns or ANYTHING!” Just then, Dash heard a sound and flipped over. With a small trail of fire shooting from his brown boots, Sky hovered next to a stunned Rainbow Dash. “Cool trick huh,” he laughed. Rainbow and Sky started conversing about how fun it is to fly and Sky’s awesome jet outside. Sky was doing mid air flips while Dash watched in awe and then started to flip around herself. “Heh, show offs,” Foxxy said as he walked towards Rarity, who was still struggling with her bags. “Need some help?” Foxxy drew the scythe off his back and hook all the bag handles with the handle side, scooping them up. “Uhm hehe thank you,” Rarity said blushing. Foxxy smiled and walk side by side with Rarity. Mr. Johnson and Celestia finished talking, “alright everyone, it’s time to show you to your rooms,” Mr. Johnson said. “I’m sure you will find it quite pleasant here on Earth,” said Celestia. ------▲------ Leo shuffled through the papers, scanning each page swiftly before turning to the next. His long, curly white hair almost reached down to his shoulders. “It seems as if everything is going according to my calculations,” said Leo, putting the papers back into the folder and handing it back to Trey. “If everything keeps going this great, we will be more than ready to execute the attack.” Trey laughed and swung his bat playfully, “Yeah, I can hardly wait!” Trey clenched his fist, “I can’t wait to bash some pony skulls-...” Trey suddenly fell to the floor screaming. Leo glanced up casually at him, “Still getting those headaches?” Trey was writhing in pain on the ground, from his body, flaming sparks shot out everywhere. Leo got up and walked to his cabinet as Trey’s screams died out. “I have some pills for you, but you’re going to have to learn to control that.” Leo tossed the pills to Trey, who propped himself up with his bat, before popping two pills in his mouth. “...Thanks...” he said quietly. Just then, David walked in through the staircase door, “Discord wants you, he said it’s time for the surgery...” Trey got up slowly and followed David out the door. Leo casually looked over the list of patients again. ------▲------ It was already midnight when the ponies all gathered in the room that was arranged for them to sleep in. They were all laughing and talking about the guards who had been assigned to them. “I really, really, really like King! He’s sooooooooooo awesome!” Pinkie said jumping around. “Foxxy seems very nice, a nice gentle colt.” Rarity said. “Remember Rarity, it’s gentlemen, we have to get used to how the humans talk.” Twilight corrected. “It feels odd, like learning a new language.” Fluttershy said quietly. “Well we have to get used to it, we will be here awhile.” Twilight said. “Well Ah fer one am enjoyin’ it here.” Applejack said with a grin on her face, “Ah like Magic. We’re...the same, ya know?” “This Sky guy seems ok, I mean he’ll never be as cool as me, but he’s good enough.” Rainbow said, laying on her back, looking at her hoof. “I feel like Jonathan doesn’t like me, he looked a little mad.” Twilight said quietly. “Of course he likes you silly filly!” Pinkie said smiling, “Everypony likes you!” “Don’t worry Twilight,” Fluttershy said, with a comforting smile, “if he doesn’t he’ll warm up to you.” “Thanks guys.” Twilight said, happier from the support. “Sugarcube, what do y’all think will happen at the Brony-whatchamacallit.” Applejack said. “Well, we can’t be certain what will happen in the future, but I’m sure it will be fine. According to Celestia, we are quite popular, so what’s the worst that could happen?” Twilight said smiling.
Chapter 3: Bronycon is here8 Months Later Bronycon 2013, Ny,Ny. June 29- As the orange sun peaks in the sky, bronies roamed around the massive convention building. The Mane 6 have yet to arrive, although Celestia has just gotten on stage to address the people. “Hello ladies and gentlecolts, oh, I mean gentlemen. Both the elements of harmony and I are very happy to be here and are glad we could come.” Celestia greeted. After she said this, the crowd roared with cheers and applause. Celestia nodded and smiled, “Soon my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle, and her friends will be here, I realize you are very excited to meet them.” After receiving an even louder wave of applause Celestia continued. “Also, I see that there are some people outside who do not like us very well. It’s perfectly alright, let us just love and tolerate them.” From the curtain behind Celestia, appeared Twilight, Jonathan and Mr. Johnson. Twilight was whispering something to Jonathan before she smiled and waved to the crowd. “I knew we wouldn’t make it in time! Your schedule was at least ten minutes off!” She hustled him. Jonathan shrugged and pushed up his glasses. “Just a slight miscalculation, I assure you.” Jonathan said, nonchalantly. “Hello, everyone!” Twilight said smiling, receiving many cheers from her adoring fans. Twilight looked on across the sea of people and could see her own image plastered on some shirts and posters. From behind the curtain again came Pinkie Pie, bouncing along by herself. The cheering and yells she received totally blocked out the beginning of Twilight’s speech. Upon noticing the large crowd, Pinkie’s eyes filled with excitement. She turned and looked toward the curtain waiting. Next came, Spike and King, both walking slowly and trying to look cool. “Yeah man, just pretend like they are not even there,” King laughed. Spike’s knees were quaking a little, “I never should have come, I hate big crowds.” Pinkie ran up to King who handed her a suitcase. “I’m so glad I made a second batch yesterday for everyone!” Pinkie popped open the suitcase and started tossing cupcakes to the cheering crowd. Afterwards, she handed the last cupcake to King who accepted it with a big smile and ate it on the way across the stage. Spike walked back to Twilight’s side. “Getting along well without me?” He asked. Twilight, noticing his arrival and hugged him. Spike had decided to wait till the actual day of Bronycon to travel to the human world. Through the back door of the stage room, entered Travvy. He was holding Fluttershy and Alex on his back, but something was wrong. He was heaving and showed signs of battle. “Sorry, ran into a little trouble on the way here, that crowd outside is really getting violent.” Fluttershy hopped onto the floor and ran to the safety of her friends, before falling over at the sight of the crowd. Most of them had gone silent after seeing Travvy, his large stature and axe combined with the fact that he looked like he had just wrestled a bear was very off putting. After finally working up the courage Fluttershy moved to the microphone and gave a small “Hi,” to the crowd. She received many cheers from the audience from just one small hello. Fluttershy blushed and hid behind Travvy. The cheers of the crowd died down again once the sound of an engine rose. Magic’s black limo was parting the crowd as it pulled up to the stage. Magic got out of the side and then opened the door for Applejack who immediately gained a large applause of cheering and yelling. King chuckled and whispered to Pinkie Pie, “Show off.” Pinkie giggled. But just then, the familiar loud rev of a motor cycle tore through the air. Jonathan peered through the distance, “I think you stand corrected.” Foxxy’s pure white ninja dodged the audience as it whipped side to side, now complete with a white pony wrapped around the drivers back. Foxxy wheeled up and popped onto the back of Magic’s limo, ramping onto the stage where he spun and then stopped. Rarity hopped off the back and took off her helmet, her hair miraculously still amazing. The crowd was now roaring even louder at these amazing spectacles. Peering into the sky King said back to Jonathan, “Actually, I think you stand corrected.” Sky’s jet flew circles around the top of the building, blasting the My Little Pony theme, to the cheers of the audience and the dismay of haters rallying outside. After flicking the autopilot switch, Sky opened the hatch and dived out, his jet boots shooting long blue streaks of fire now. Behind him, Rainbow Dash’s long rainbow streak trailed, as her body aerodynamically flew through the skylight with Sky. “HELLOOOO NEW YORK!” Rainbow yelled as she zoomed around. Sky landed on stage gracefully while Rainbow Dash, busy trying to impress the audience crash behind him, gaining her many playful laughs. The ponies all gathered together as their guards stood behind them. They all laughed and giggled at the fact that they were so liked by the crowd. They felt empowered and excited to meet each and every one of them. But they soon fell silent with the rest of the crowd when Celestia decided to speak again. “Now then,” Celestia began, “I really must say that it is such a pleasure to be here to greet you all. I never knew we had so many fans and and friends. I can’t believe that this many people came just to see us. We are all very glad to be able to see you all and talk to you. I realize that not everyone likes us, and that is perfectly alright.” Celestia wiped her eyes with a small tissue before continuing, “Really, we were all surprised we were invited, and we simply must do this again, I would personally like to meet each and everyone of you. I will be happy to talk to you all and I really do appreciate all of you coming to see us. I ca--” Celestia was cut short by a large explosion that was heard at the base of the building, near the large doors where security tried to keep the haters from entering, and making sure the fans with tickets get in. Mr. Johnson slowly turned and looked at the guard. “We’re on it Andrew.” Said Foxxy, hopping back on his bike and speeding off. The others followed in his wake, the crowd cheering as they made their way to the front doors where hundreds of angry people rushed in and started wreaking chaos. Mr. Johnson turned towards Celestia, “Ah, This kind of thing isn’t normal. I think something is behind this attack.” “Or someone...” Said Celestia. ------▲------ Foxxy’s bike was skimming through the anti bronies. Occasionally from the front it would shoot a blast of pressurized air, blowing away everything in its wake. Magic swiftly made his way to the balcony over looking the ground floor and began shooting rubber bullets at the frenzied citizens below. Sky zoomed through the air, kicking and kneeing at the attackers while tried to shepherd the bronies to safety. King, Jonathan and Travvy had also joined the fray, sending their opponents flying in all directions. Alex and the mane 6 were still back on the stage, standing behind Celestia. Rainbow Dash stepped forward. “Shouldn’t we be helping them?” She asked frantically. Celestia’s wing blocked her path, “No, it is far too dangerous. We must trust in our human companions in this time of need.” As the attackers tried to pass the defense of the guards, Trey silently crept behind Magic. “Pretty awesome huh?” He chuckled. Magic quickly turned around, aiming the blades on his pistols at Trey. The kid was too fast though, sending his bat toward Magic and knocking him onto the floor. Trey stood on the balcony and yelled out across the hectic scene. “That’s it! Destroy it all!” Magic stood back up, staring up to Trey and aiming his pistols dead center. “Really now? Aren’t you a little busy at the moment?” Trey took out a switch and flipped it before turning around and heading back towards the ponies. The switch had triggers the explosives laced around the stage room where the rest of the group, sending dust and debris everywhere. “Shit.” Magic said, running back up to the stage room. Foxxy turned his motorcycle around, whipping backwards. “The ponies are the number one priority!” He yelled. “What about the bronies!?!” Sky yelled back to him. “Looks like they are gonna have to fight their own battles!” King yelled back. Jonathan sent a crazed teenager flying, “I don’t like it, but we don’t have much of a choice.” After making their way back to the stage room and wading through the smoke, they followed the distressed cries of the ponies. As the haters broke through the makeshift brony defenses, the guards knew they had to get the ponies to a safer place. Jonathan led Twilight back behind the curtain making a mad dash to the farthest escape door. Alex led Fluttershy out the back door they came from while Travvy and King held off the attackers rushing into the stage room door. “GO!” Travvy yelled to King before shoving back most of his opponents. King ran back to Pinkie Pie just as a white limo broke through the stage room walls. Zooming past the guard and rubble and heading towards Pinkie. King dived at Pinkie, grabbing her and dodging the limo before he ran straight out of the hole in the wall. The limo spun in a donut before a man in black got out, grabbed Rarity and threw her into the car before it sped out the way it came. Foxxy’s bike swerved passed the rest of them as it exited the building, trailing the limo. Travvy ran backwards, heaving from all the dust and left through the exit Alex and Fluttershy escaped from. Rainbow Dash zoomed up through the skylight, while Sky jumped over everyone and blasted up after her. As Celestia and Mr. Johnson ran upstairs to the control room, Magic stood in front of Applejack, shielding her from the falling rubble. Trey parted though the haters as he walked into the stage room. Applejack was cowering behind Magic, not used to being in a situation she couldn’t get herself out of. “Well, well, well, looks like it’s just me and you.” Said Trey, approaching the stage. Magic drew his guns once more, “Looks like i’ll be switching to live ammunition.” he laughed. Faster than Trey’s eyes could follow Magic shot a bullet. It flew at Trey, who in the knick of time, shielded himself with the bat. Trey grinned, “Is that all you’ve go--” The bullet exploded into smoke, blinding Trey’s vision temporarily. When he looked up seconds later, Magic’s fist collided with his face, sending him flying. “Payback’s a bitch, huh?” Magic said, sprinting at Trey. “I’ve got some tricks of my own!” Trey yelled, pointing his finger at Magic and sending long streaks of kinetic fire. Magic manage to roll under them, but was hit by Trey’s bat. The two traded blows, each earning the occasional knife cut or bat bruise. Magic rolled backward unleashing a barrage of bullets before reloading. The bullets released a special acid after hitting a surface. Trey started running circles around Magic, trying his best to dodge the bullets. It was clear Trey was slowly making his way closer to Magic as he reloaded. Trey raised his bat, but Magic aimed his pistol at Trey, pressing a button on the side and shooting out the bayonet. It deeply shot into Trey’s side, stunning him momentarily. “Y-You asshole,” Trey gasped, blood leaking from some of his wounds. Trey shot a blast of fire from his bat that surrounded Magic. “Sissy’s like you that watch girly ponies don’t even deserve to live.” Said Trey, removing the knife from his stomach. Magic looked up at him, smiling. “That’s what you think.” Just then, Magic knocked the bat out of Trey’s hands with the butt of his pistol and got up with blinding speed. Trey was stunned and couldn’t recuperate. Magic sped up to Trey until they were face to face. Magic then started jabbing at Trey’s stomach, making him cough blood and with one last blow, Magic stabbed Trey in the chest with the other bayonet, making blood spew onto the stage floor. Trey fell to his knees, slumping forward. Magic turned around to Applejack, panting out of breath from fighting. “I-I’m sorry you had to see that.” Magic said, resting his hand on his knees, bending over. Applejack looked around, she had never witnessed something so violent. Her life in Ponyville was carefree, nobody ever really dies. They sort of just... disappeared. Applejack stood up, her eyes trying to avoid the body. “Are ya okay?” asked Applejack. “I’m fine, we just have to meet up with the rest of the team.” Magic said. Just then, a loud scream from a jet came from above as heavy artillery could be heard from the ground. “Looks like Sky’s got his hands full.” Magic said.
Chapter 4: Flight of the FoxFoxxy sped through the oncoming traffic and police barricades around the perimeter of the convention building. The white limo speeding in front of him was gracefully driving through each obstacle while Foxxy’s bike made sporadic turns. The white ninja was shooting very accurate blasts of pressurized air, but the limo was heavily plated and hardly showed signs of damage. Luckily, a sharp turn caught the driver off guard and as the limo swerved on two wheels, Foxxy manage to land a shot at the back wheel. The limo was now swaying as it raced forward, but after another shot to the side, the momentum on the vehicle caused it to slip onto its side, sliding down the rode into a pole. The busted limo sat lying on its side as Foxxy pulled up twenty feet from it and hopped off his bike. Drawing his long, black scythe off his back, he carefully walked towards the incapacitated machine. Just then, the door of the limo was kicked straight off it’s hinges and sent flying towards Foxxy. “Where is she?” Foxxy said lowly, sidestepping the door. “You mean this little thing?” A head emerged from the limo. It was none other than the infamous, billionaire genius Leo Vi Deci. As he climbed out of the limo, he carried an unconscious Rarity by the mane. His white, long hair showed signs of blood, most likely from the crash of the vehicle. “That idiot driver.” Leo said, tossing Rarity’s body on the ground next to limo. “Ruining my hair and suit, I’m glad he died.” At the sight of Rarity’s body, Foxxy strategically began to circle Leo, forcing him to move in sync or to turn his back to Foxxy to safeguard Rarity. Leo made his decision, drawing his thin rapier he lunged at Foxxy. Using incredible speed for such a large weapon, Foxxy parried Leo and they began the intricate dance of sword play. Lunging and striking Foxxy, with his superior speed, Leo managed to land a great amount of blows. Foxxy swung the great scythe, cleaving the air with its immense power, all he needed was one clean swipe to destroy Leo, metaphorically, ripping the soul straight from his body. As Leo stepped back for another lunge, Foxxy made a choice. Slamming the blade of the scythe into the ground, he used the momentum to fling his body, kicking Leo in the face and sending him backward. Leo quickly recovered as Foxxy pursued him. “What a nuisance...” said Leo as Foxxy raised his scythe for the finishing blow. Leo pressed the trigger on the handle of his sword, and then moved the blade to block Foxxy’s attack. “That little thing can’t handle the force of my weapon!” Foxxy yelled, swinging the scythe down. Leo smiled as the blades collided, and Foxxy fell to the ground, paralyzed. “Funny isn’t, that such a small thing could stop that brutish weapon? Well, with the help of some high voltage.” Leo held down the trigger as an arc of electricity shot between his rapier and the scythe, causing Foxxy’s body to twitch. Foxxy gurgled while his body gave violent spasms. His hand slowly inching its way on the handle of the Scythe. Along the base of the handle were a series of triggers, if only he could reach them. “I thought you would have proved to be more of a challenge,” Leo said, raising his foot above Foxxy’s skull. At last, Foxxy managed to reach the first trigger on the handle, pressing it roughly. The blade and top handles of the scythe disconnected from the rest as Foxxy rolled out of the way of Leo’s foot. It was revealed that the scythe was actually two separate pieces, connected by a long rubber cord. As Foxxy rolled up and back onto his feet, he whipped the handle he was holding into the air. The rubber didn’t allow the electricity to pass through, but it still moved the blade. As the black blade sprung up, it tore through the leg of a surprised Leo, leaving him yelling in pain. “YOU CURRR!” Leo screamed as he fell to the ground, crimsons blood shooting from his massive gash. Foxxy pressed a series of triggers to return the blade and connect it to the scythe. As Foxxy walked over to the pale and bleeding Leo, Leo tried to protect himself with his rapier. Foxxy raised his scythe, “Like I said, that small thing won’t protect you from true power.” Foxxy slammed down the scythe vertically, cutting Leo almost in two, leaving a large cut in the rocky ground. Foxxy wiped the sweat off his warm forehead, before wiping the blade on the edge of Leo white suit and leaving large red prints. Foxxy connected his weapon back onto the holder on his back. He slowly walked over to Rarity, who was just regaining consciousness. “Wake up sleepyhead,” Foxxy said quietly, picking up Rarity and setting her on the back on the bike. “Wh--Whaa happened,” she asked groggily, glancing at Leo’s body vagueing. Foxxy quickly whipped the cycle around as Rarity clenched onto his back. He turned from the fight and looked towards the convention building which was smoking and flaming. “Oh nothing happened haha, just a little trouble,” Foxxy tried to sound calm. *bzzzzzt* “Captain Foxxy come in!” The radio on the motorcycle went off. “Yeah Andrew?” Foxxy asked, recognizing the voice. “It’s Fl -- BACK! HIYA! -- It’s Fluttershy! I need you to pick her up! I’m sending you the coordinates now!” “Got ‘em.’”, Foxxy said as he rode into the distance. ------▲------ King and Pinkie sat on top the Statue of Liberty, munching on cupcakes and other assorted candies as they talked about their day so far. They manage to make it away from all the chaos so far. “And then I met a fan who--...” Pinkie stopped. King’s eyes opened, “Something wrong kiddo?” Pinkie’s mane began to twitch as King stood up. ------▲------ Spikes was clambering in dusty hallways of the convention building. Coughing small fireballs as the smoke filled his lungs. He stepped into the main lobby and the site that met him wasn’t pretty. Mayhem was strewn about the place as bronies fought for their lives and debris was everywhere and still falling from the broken ceiling. “Twilight!” he screamed, but it was useless. His yell was lost amongst the many other cries of people being killed down below. “Goodbye Spikey Wikey.” said a scratchy voice behind him. Spike turned around to see a man standing there with a shotgun to his face. “Say your prayers you little pest.” he yelled. Spike closed his eyes and waited for the man to shoot his gun, but instead came a grunt of pain. Spike reopened his eyes to see that the man had been struck by a staff and as he followed the staff to the owner, he was happy to discover Jonathan and Twilight were at the end of it. “Get on!” yelled Twilight, gesturing to her back with her head. Spike got on her back and started to cry. “I thought I was a goner!” he sobbed. “Don’t worry. We have Jonathan to protect us.” Spike looked up at the man, but could not see his eyes through the glaring glass. Jonathan held a stern expression and battered his way through a bunch of anti-bronies with Twilight closely behind him. “Thank Celestia.” he said before passing out from exhaustion. Twilight sighed. “Yep.” she said softly.
