"Was somebody thinking of me?" Damn it, it's Discord.
"Discord, what're you doing here?" Fluttershy asked. I was thinking the same thing.
"Lulu and 'Tia wanted me to meet this little kid over here." He ruffled my hair, as I tried to shoo him off me. "What's wrong?" He came up close and whispered "I know what you called me from the previous chapter. Don't think I'm letting you off the hook." Welp, I'm in trouble now. If I wasn't already. "So, what did want to ask me, Tia?" So Celi had another reason to summon this bloke. ("Hey, I should call Tia "Celi" some time. That sounds nice!" Bugger off, Jizzcord.)
"Yeah, I wanted to know if the pony known as Nitro is somewhat related to you."
I looked over to Discord and gave him a look that says 'Please, for the love of Chaos, don't tell her that I'm Nitro. PleasepleasepleasePLEASE!'
"No, in fact, I've never heard of this "Nitro" guy you're talking about. I can find him and ask him, if you'd like?" Shit, don't, bruv!
Pinkie spoke up. "Yeah, I wanna find him so I can give him a "Welcome to Ponyville" party, like what I did with Nitrogen over here!" She pointed over to me.
I knew, if I didn't get back to base, and act as a cold-hard merc, I'm done for. "Sure, find him, and lead him to us." Fuck.
Discord pointed towards the market. "Let's go! He'll be gone soon!" That was my cue.
"I should be going. It was nice meeting all of you, but it's time for my leave. See ya!" I ran off. As I did so, I "accidentally" bumped into Pinkie and Discord. I know that it was strange, but I didn't give a shit. I still don't. After rounding a corner, I Chaos Controlled over to my base, replaced my white robe for the dark grey one, and ran over to the market.

Discord
Nitro bumped into me and Pinkie, giving the both of us some form of communication with him. I could tell that it was him. Honestly, Pinkie's friends are kinda stupid for not noticing it was him. Ah, it doesn't matter that much.
'Hey, can you all hear me?' Nitro's voice rang through my head.
'Yeah, I can hear you. Pinkie?' I responded, while leading the ponies to the market place.
She giggles. 'Yeah, I do. Nitro, why are you so scared of my friends? Is it because of what you know?'
'Kinda, yeah. I don't know what'll happen when they find out one of my 4 main secrets. Can you two keep my secrets from everyone?' Does he really trust us? I asked him that. 'Honestly, yeah. I trust you won't let them know. Just say 'I don't know anything' when they're asking about me. So, y'all ready? Meet me in the warehouses in the outskirts of town to the north' We were nearing the Market. I see him on one of the roofs.
'Yeah. We'll be there' We both responded.
"Okay, he should be... Up on the roofs!" I pointed up to the roof where Nitro was on and gave him a quick nod. Unnoticed by the others, fortunately.
"Nitro, get down here! I want to ask some questions!" Tia yelled, notifying everypony around about her presence.
"Ya, qué tal no?" 'That's a suicide question, I know, but I'm seeing how far I can bring it before I have a-' He couldn't finish that thought.
"Don't test me. Now, get down here!" Tia's horn flared up, and Nitro started to run. He was stopped by the levitation spell Tia casted on him.
"Piss" was the last thing he said before Celi brought him down. Before she could ask anything, however, he punched her in the face. Everyone's jaw dropped (literally for Pinkie and I, metaphorically for everypony else). Celestia had a bleeding nose, and Nitro was smirking under his hood. He was dropped from Celestia's grasp, and he used that time to run. Everyone who had the ability to levitate another (minus me) went from shocked to pissed, and collectively dragged Nitro back. He then did something I didn't expect him to. He threw a grenade at us. Pinkie and her friends shielded their eyes, like they've already felt this before. 'Sorry for this,' Nitro stated before it went off. All was white with a magnesium smell for a few seconds, and when it cleared, he was gone.

I got the last of my things in my quarters, and moved to the main Warehouse. There, in the room, were the 2 ponies and the draconequus who figured me out. "Thank you all for coming. This is my Base of Ops. You know who I am." Luna, Pinkie, and Discord were sitting there, listening to what I have to say.
"Why are you in Equestria, exactly?" Luna questioned me. I sighed and pulled up a chair.
"Get prepared for a story, you lot. It's a big one." I sighed again and then started. "I am an assassin. I'm not a crazed gun man, nor am I paid to kill innocents. You all figured me out, so this next rule doesn't count, but I'm not supposed to make my identity known." I yawned and continued. "I'm here to do three things: one is to stop the Tempars from their world-domination scheme that they have. I don't know who is a Templar, but I know that, in Equestria, they'll be wearing clothes to hide a necklace that has this symbol." I lifted the Templar Cross, a rounded metal cross (like the one for Christianity) with red highlights, surrounding the Abstergo Industries logo. "These fools wear this everywhere. Don't ask me why. I'm still wondering that." I threw the cross to a corner. "The second thing I'm here for is to create an Assassin's guild in Equestria."
Pinkie spoke up. "Why build an assassin's guild in Equestria, specifically?"
"Templar influences are strongest here than in any other place in the world." I started. "And it's best to be prepared. I don't know the third reason as to why I'm here, but my team'll send that reason in the future." I waved my hoof around. "But enough of that. I wanted you lot here because I want you to help me form the Assassin's influence in Equestria." The shocked faces on the ponies were priceless. I need to buy or build a camera for this shit!
"Why us?" Luna asked.
"Because you know who I truly am. I told you why I'm here. I showed you everything I am. I'm just a simple school boy, but I'm also an Assassin. I need someone, or multiple someones, to help do some tasks when I'm in classes. This won't go unpaid, naturally. I just need y'all's help."
They were silent, and Discord said "Let us think about it."
"Sure sure, go on ahead." I moved my chair towards the wall and rested there, the front two legs off the floor, and the back plate on the wall. I rested there until Luna coughed. "Ya made up your minds?"
"Yes, and we will accept your proposition," Luna started. "BUT! You must have a logical reason for these assassination missions. Do we have a deal?"
"Naturally." I shook her hoof. "Welcome to the order, ladies and Discord. Now, I'm gonna need to train you all in the ways of the Order. We have three main rules to prevent people from going insane with power and start killing off whom they don't deem worthy to be alive. One is to never kill innocents. Self-explanatory. Don't kill ponies who are just walking, and aren't hostile. Two is to stay incognito. Make sure no one knows who you truly are. The final one is to never derive from the plan. If you're just making up the plan as you go, you can ignore that last one. Y'all got that?" They all nodded. "Good. I'd like for you all to return Friday the 22nd. I'll have your Assassin robes and stuff ready."
"OOO! Robes! Like the one you're wearing?" Pinkie, in her overactive self, said.
"Aye! Like this one-" I point to the grey robe I'm wearing. "-and the white one you met me in, Luna and Discord."
We all agreed to meet up the 22nd at 8 P.M. "Make sure you're on time, Discord," Luna deadpanned to Discord. Discord just "blah, blah, blah"-ed Luna, and all three of them laughed before leaving to their homes. I smiled, and went to my room to sleep. I slipped out of my robe, rested it in the wardrobe, and rested on my bed before pulling out my laptop and began writing my 3rd journal entry in NotePad.
Written Journal #3
Princess Luna Selene, Pinkamina Diane Pie, and Discord agreed and joined the Order. If memory serves me right, I had a dream where Rarity and Fluttershy were also part of the Order, so I hope to indoctrinate them in.
I'm ready for school tomorrow. Now, what'll happen then? How'll I juggle Assassin work and school work? I don't know. I'll find a way. There's always a solution.
Now, I need to find and eliminate the Templars soon.
I'll write Friday the 22nd.
Author's Note
Feliz Cinco de Mayo, ¡amigos!
I'm trying to find a balance between Discord, Luna, and Pinkie. I wonder what may happen!
Like I said, I'm making this up as I go.
