Chapters The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Author's Note: This is the first story I've written, and English is not my main language. So, expect innacuracies and some facts to be wrong.
Prologue: A New Universe
Just another typical battle day at Dustbowl. The BLU Team had alterady taken the main regions of Dustbowl, so the RED Team had to defend the entrance of the RED Base, or else the BLU Team would take over Dustbowl. RED was not ready for the battle lately, therefore, BLU took the head-start, and captured Granary, 2Fort, Hydro and Gravel Pit. Only Well and Dustbowl were at RED's domain right now.
Engineer parked his car at the parking lot on the entrance to the RED base. He and Pyro left the car. "Just another typical battle day, don't worry, everything will go fine." , Engineer mumbled to himself. However, the Administrator's voice on the speakers said otherwise. "Attention, you lazy, fat brainless idiots! We need to defend this Rocket containing one of the Explosives we need to send to the BLU Team! If they take it, they might use it against us on Well! So, get your lazy asses up and DEFEND!!", said the Administrator on her usual angry and demanding voice. The Engineer sighed.
"C'mon, Pyro. We got work to do.", he said. He went towards the Control Point number 1 on Dustbowl Stage 2, while the Pyro followed him.
The war was not going well for the RED Team. The BLU Heavy managed to outdamage the RED Heavy wielding the Brass Beast, the BLU Scout managed to kill most of the RED Team members because the RED Medic was pocketing the RED Heavy, and other stuff. In short, RED was having no team co-operating at all. It was like everyone on RED had in mind 'Everyone on your own, teamwork and friendship is for losers'. The Engineer gasped when he saw the RED members being terminated by the BLU members. Thankfully, the Respawn System was working, but unfortunaly, it seemed that BLU's respawn was much faster than RED's.
"Alright, let's get work done.", Engineer said.
He went inside the building that had the Control Point, then placed his Sentry Gun on a hidden spot. It managed to kill a BLU Scout that came to the Control Point to attempt to capture it.
"Job well done!", he cheered.
Although, he knew that it wasn't done yet. He knew that the BLU Soldier, BLU Heavy and BLU Pyro could rush in to close quarters and terminate the Sentry. He needed to upgrade it. He looked around, and found a Medium-sized ammo box lying next to a Large first-aid kit. He grabbed the box, and used the ammo for Metal.
Meanwhile, the RED Pyro was looking around his non-cooperating teammates to check if any of them were Spies. None of them acted differently. Suddently, a burning RED Sniper came out from the battelfield.
"Medic! Medic! Medic!", yelled the Sniper. Medic didn't twitched. The Pyro decided to help him. He airblasted the Sniper, and his RED 'teammates' gave the Pyro an awkward look.
"Thanks, Pyro.", Sniper said before he went behind a house, with the RED team members still looking awkardly at the Pyro. Pyro mumbled something that appeared to be a 'What?'. Suddently, the Sniper screamed, and someone appeared to collapse in the floor. The RED members didn't cared and proceeded to keep fighting. Pyro was the only one that cared. The Sniper emerged from the house. The RED members didn't cared, Pyro was looking at Sniper consistently, like there was something wrong. The Sniper seemed to make his distance from the Pyro. He then made his way into the Control Point office. Pyro decided to slowly follow him.
"Whoowe! Makin' bacon!", said the Engineer as his newly-made Level 3 Sentry Gun reached 26 kills. The Engineer then grabbed a toolbox, then placed it on the floor, which started building a Dispenser.
"Dispenser goin' up!", said Engineer, as he started whacking his Dispenser with the wrench, making it build faster. Eventually, it was fully set up. However, he heard someone step on a creaking wooden plank. Engineer quickly turned around, and found nothing. He turned around, and found his Dispenser sapped.
"Spah sappin' mah Dispenser!", said the Engineer as he rushed to his dispenser to knock the sapper off.
"Phew.", said the Engineer. Then, he heard the sound of the sapper again. He turned around, and said "Spah sappin' mah Sentry!". He smacked the Sentry with the wrench.
"Job well done!", he said. Suddently, his Dispenser was sapped again. He smacked his wrench against his Dispenser yet again, and then the Sentry was sapped again. However, before the Engineer could take the Sapper off, he heard a very familiar laugh comming from behind.
"Spy.", said the Engineer in an angry tone. He turned around, and found the BLU Spy carrying a backpack full of Sappers.
"What's the matter? Did I throw a wrench on your plans?", said the enemy Spy. The Engineer showed a very angry face, until he heard another familiar voice.
"Nho.", the voice said. Suddently, the Spy collapsed on the floor with a single slight scream. Behind him was the RED Pyro holding the Back Scratcher.
"Phew. Thanks, Pyro.", said the Engineer with a sound of relief, as he went to his almost-destroyed Sentry Gun to remove the Sapper. The Pyro didn't answered. He just withdrawed his Back Scratcher, then pulled his Flame Thrower. He stood there with his flamer for five seconds, until he yelled "SPFHAH!", turned around, and fired his flamer. A burning sillhouete appeared, that made a blue glow which started to take form of the BLU Spy.
"Oh, merde, you shortened out my Ringer!", said Spy as he saw his Dead Ringer melting.
The Engineer heard his Sentry Gun target something behind him. He quickly stepped out of the way, and found out the burning enemy Spy. The Sentry then did short work of the Spy, who was now lying dead on the floor as gibs.
"Thanks, Pyro.", Engineer said. This time, the Pyro answered with a nod. However, the two noticed a carpet of BLU stickybombs lying around the Sentry. Unfortunaly, before one of the two could react, the carpet exploded, killing the Sentry Gun, and knocking out cold the Pyro and the Engineer. A BLU Demoman arrived. He laughed, then said "Ka-BOOM !" before proceeded to cap the point.
Some time later....
Pyro and Engineer woke up a few minutes later. Engineer looked at the Control Point.
"Darn. BLU capped the point.", he said. He went downstairs, and found a strange teleporter.
"What the.....", he said. It appeared that this teleporter didn't belonged to neither RED nor BLU, and it looked nothing like the RED and BLU Engineers' teleporters. Before he could examine it, the Pyro entered it.
"Gho gho gho!", Pyro said. The Engineer's adventurer-side made him agree with the Pyro. The two entered the teleporter.
Elsewhere....
"It's amazing!", Rarity said.
"No, it's better! A LOT better than amazing!", Twilight answered.
Ponyville was celebrating the discover of a new ore, crystalitties. It was just like diamonds, except they were a lot stronger and shined a lot more, along with a blue hue.
"I don' think crystalitties will superate uranium, though.", said Applejack.
"Why? These shiny ores are MUCH more beautiful than those rocks covered in yellow dust!", proclaimed Rarity.
"Actually, I think Applejack's right.", said Rainbow Dash. "Remember the diamonds? They were four times more beautiful than uranium, yet they still didn't superated the latter on units sold.", continued her.
The 'Mane 5' kept discussing, while Pinkie Pie didn't even cared about the crystalitties. All she cared was that it was a good party. She and Derpy Hooves even made her own stand selling cupcakes and muffins.
It wasn't just the Mane 6 that went to the party. Many other ponies, such as Zecora, Cheerilee, Hoity Toity, Photo Finish, Sapphire Shores, Spitfire, Soarin, Lyra, Bon-Bon, DJ P0N-3 and Caramel came, just to name a few. Almost every Pony from Ponyville went to the party. One of the few ponies who wen't to the party was Trixie, for obvious reasons.
Many Ponies like crystallities, mainly shopkeepers, others just don't care, and a few others don't like it, thinking it is a rip-off from diamonds. Some believe crystallities will be the new decoration, others think it will be the new economy, others think it will just fall into oblivion and be forgotten, just like coal, iron, copper, and all those other stuff.
The richer ponies started dreaming of them swimming in a pool of crystallities. The average ponies just thought of using crystallities as decoration for some holidays like christmas, and all those stuff. The poorer ponies couldn't take a look at crystallities, as every other pony was on the way.
Everything was going fine, until a bright flash of light appeared during the party. Everypony looked at the flash, that grew greater and greater, until a poof of smoke popped up around. A bipedal creature wearing a Hard Hat came out.
"Hey, Pyro, this teleporter actually works!", exclaimed the Humanoid creature as he stepped out.
"Huddah Huh!", a voice came out after the creature said. As soon as he left the cloud smoke, he spoke something.
"...What the blazes?", the Engineer exclaimed.
All the Ponies fled upon seeing the two bipedal, strange-looking creatures arrive.
"Ooh, the festival is RUINED!", yelled Rarity as she, Twilight and Fluttershy went to hide behind a bush.
Only Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash stood where they were. Pinkie because she wanted to see those new creatures. Rainbow because she didn't wanted to look like a coward, but she still kept her distance in the air. Pinkie then started to approach the Pyro.
"Pinkie, no!", Rainbow said with a worried expression.
The Pyro looked at the pink horse that was approaching. Suddently, before anything could be thought, Pinkie said four words:
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie!", Pinkie said, while extending her hoof for a hoofshake. The Pyro found out that the Pink and Blue horses can talk, and that probably most of the horses there also can. He then looked at her hoof. Pyro remembered the Engineer doing something similar, where he slapped Engy's hand. He then decided to do the same. He cracked his fingers, then slapped her hoof. The two started to bounce up and down while clapping their hands/hoofs. Rainbow Dash and the Engineer looked awkwardly at Pyro and Pinkie. Suddently, the rest ot the ponies started to reach out of their hiding spot, as they found out that the new creatures were harmless. Or were they?
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 2: Meeting Each-other up
"Wait, so let me get this straight. You two work for Reliable Excavation and Demolition, and live in another universe, where you two, along with seven other members from RED fight against Builders League United?", Twilight asked.
"Yeah. Exactly like this.", Engineer answered.
Shortly after everypony becomming shocked upon the arrival of the two bipedal creatures, they decided to reunite at Twilight's Library. The ponies discovered that the masked person was the Pyro, and that the hard-hat wielding person was the Engineer. They never found any human before, and their only knowledge about humans came from Lyra and her obsession with humans. Of course, she was the pony who seeked most details about Pyro and Engineer.
"Ummm, yeah, we drive cars, we can use fingers, grab stuff, and...", Engineer said before he was interrupted again by a curious Lyra.
"And do you fly airplanes?", she asked.
"Some humans do, but, from our team, only the Soldier and the Heavy actually flied airplanes before.", Engineer said.
Suddently, Pinkie burst in the conversation.
"Oh! Oh! Do you like Parties?", she asked.
Engineer just sat there quiet, until an embarassed Rarity explained him about Pinkie.
"Uh, sorry about that, Pinkie is just a party addict.", she said.
"Nah, that's fine. Anyways, to answer the question about the pink hors-", Engineer continued before being interrupted by an angry Rainbow Dash.
"PONIES! I said we're ponies and not horses!", she said in an angry tone.
"Okay, okay, ponies! Hell, it's just 'cause y'all look so close to a similar species on our universe, who are called horses! Chill!", Engineer said.
"Rainbow! Be nice to our guests!", Lyra said slightly annoyed to Rainbow Dash, who cooled herself down.
"Sorry. I just don't feel safe with you two.", she said.
While most Ponies and the Engineer discussed, the Pyro decided to go downstairs to explore a bit. Engineer didn't even noticed. The only ones who noticed were Twilight, Pinkie, Lyra and the Cutie Mark Crusaders, who decided to follow him. Pyro arrived downstairs, and he found a purple creature tidying up the library. Pyro tried to be discret, but he accidentally stepped on a creaking plank, alerting the purple creature.
"Whoa!", he said, before looking at Pyro.
"Oh, it's just you. Phew. You scared me!, he then said. He then proceeded to continue tidying up the libary.
Pyro heard footsteps comming downstairs, and found some of the other ponies. The purple one, the pink one, the greenish one, and three white, orange and yellow ones, who seemed to be childs had followed him.
"What you went to do here?", Twilight asked.
"Mmm mmmph.", Pyro said. The ponies looked at each other.
"Oh, he invented a new game, mumble-speak! I want to play that, too!", Pinkie said. "Mmmmm mmmmm mmmm!", she continued. Pinkie then started to roll on the floor. Pyro seemed to be bothered about her constantly mumbling.
"Mmmmrgh.", Pyro mumbled, while shaking his head.
"Pinkie, I think he wants you to stop.", said Twilight.
Lyra slowly approached Pyro.
"Why do you wear this mask?", she asked. Pyro answered by trying to take his mask off, which didn't budged. It meant it was stuck on his face.
Before the ponies could react, the CMC were toying around with a bag they grabbed. Lyra and Twilight looked at them. The three were wearing hats. Applebloom was wearing a hat similar to Applejack's hat, but white, and larger, Scootaloo was wearing a firefighter's helmet, and Sweetie Belle was wearing a red fedora. All of the hats had a tag strapped to it.
"Hey, look at my new hat!", said Applebloom.
"My hat is better than yours!", provoked Scootaloo.
"Your hats are all stolen, it haves a price tag on it! My hat is not stolen!", said Sweetie Belle.
"Your hat also haves a price tag!", yelled Applebloom.
Again, the CMC broke into a fight amongst themselves.
"Hey! Stop arguing!", yelled Twilight. The fillies kept fighting.
They only stopped fighting when Pyro approached them, and took their hats. He stored the cowboy hat and the fedora, but he wore the firefighter's helmet.
"Awww....", said the CMC.
"Are those hats stolen?", asked Twilight as she went to the backpack.
Lyra went to inspect the backpack. Inside it were not only hats, but weapons, too. Although the bag was small, it seemed to hold almost 300 items on it.
"Wow, this bag is relatively small, but it seems to be able to hold many items...." , she thought. Lyra then looked at the tag. "It isn't a price tag. It just says 'Texas Ten Gallon - Level 35 hat.'.", she said.
She picked up another item, this time an orange glove; She strapped it to her hoof. However, the Pyro disapproved of what she did. He picked the glove from Lyra's hoof, and placed it on her head.
"Why did you put it in my head? Gloves are used on the hoof, not the head!", Lyra said. But Twilight answered.
"But I think this glove is meant to be used as a hat. The tag on it says 'Respectless Rubber Glove - Level 83 hat.'. It says hat, not glove.", said Twilight. It was true because Pyro nodded at her.
The CMC looked around deeper on the bag, and pulled out a big machine that seemed to be too large to fit in that backpack. "Hey, this one says 'Vintage Degreaser - Level 10 Flame Thrower'!", said Scootaloo. The Pyro seemed to react bad upon them finding the Vintage Degreaser. Sweetie Belle then jumped on the trigger.
"Nhoooooo!", Pyro yelled, just before the Degreaser started spewing flames on Applebloom. Sweetie Belle then got out of the trigger. Apple Bloom was completely black. Lyra and Twilight were shocked, Pinkie was still rolling on the floor.. Even the purple creature went there to see.
"What happened here? It isn't anything more for me to clean, is it?", he asked.
"Oh, it's nothing Spike. We can take care of this.", Twilight said. That purple creature was called Spike. Pyro started to realize those ponies were more sentient than how he thought they were. At first, he thought they were just baby unicorns living in a happy candyland. But now, he saw that they are actually intelligent. Pyro's thoughts were interrupted by Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle laughing at Apple Bloom.
"SHUT UP!!", Apple Bloom yelled. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle ignored her and kept laughing.
Meanwhile, Upstairs...
"...and thus began Team Fortress 2's 15th anniversary festival.", said Engineer, explaining about the latest party on TF2.
"Wow, 15 years. Wait, didn't you said that Team Fortress 2 was launched at 2007?", asked a confused Berry Punch.
"It's 'cause those were 15 years since Team Fortress. It started at Team Fortress, went to Team Fortress Classic, then Team Fortress 2.", explained the Engineer.
"Is there a Team Fortress 3?", asked Colgate.
"Not yet. Team Fortress 2 didn't finished development, so TF3 is very unlikely right now.", he said.
"Oh, and I heard that TF2 contains hats, and the such. Could you show me some?", asked Rarity.
"Sure. Just let me get my.....wait, where's my backpack?", said Engineer, realizing that his backpack was not with him.
"I saw the fillies taking it and bringing it downstairs.", said Derpy.
"Mind explaining me what are fillies?", asked Engineer.
"Young ponies.", said Rainbow, still annoyed.
"Darn. Those backpacks contains dangerous weapons. Do y'all think they will use Pyro's Vintage Degreaser?", asked the Engineer.
"What is a Vintage Degreaser...? ", quietly asked Fluttershy.
"Well, basically a variation of Pyro's flame thrower.", answered Engineer.
The ponies suddently stopped for a moment. Then, they all rushed downstairs, almost knocking down the Engineer.
*Insert 'Intruder Alert ' music here*
Downstairs....
Twilight was about to clean Apple Bloom, but stopped upon hearing loud footsteps comming up. They all stopped upon seeing that Apple Bloom was alterady burned.
"Oh no.....", said Rainbow Dash in a shock state.
Pyro shrugged. Even Pinkie stopped rolling on the floor.
Everypony on the staircase opened space for a dazed Engineer to come through. "Wha.....what happened here?", he asked.
"I'll tell you what happened. Your buddy here's weapon almost cremated Apple Bloom alive! I know you two came from a war world, but seriously, can't ya even have some RESPECT?!?! ", yelled a steaming Rainbow.
"Ok, ok, calm down, Rainbow. It's alright.", said Rarity. Engineer went to Pyro.
"Pyro, why did you burned that pony? She is not from BLU, everyon-", Engineer said before getting interrupted again by Rainbow.
"EveryPONY , not everyone! You're not on Badlands anymore!", yelled Rainbow again. Engineer stepped back.
"Nhot whas mhe. ", Pyro mumbled while pointing at Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. The latter two gulped.
"I'm here to testify! I saw the two paint Apple Bloom black! It was cool! Hahahahaha!", said Pinkie, who started to roll on the floor again.
The ponies went towards Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.
Later, outside Twilight's library...
"Ok, I'm sorry for acting angry at you. I just don't feel safe.", apologied Rainbow to Engineer.
"Nah, that's fine.", Engineer said.
"Hey, we can show you and the Masked person around here before you go!", offered Fluttershy.
Pyro nodded at the yellow pony. He wanted to see every single bit of that place.
"Yeah. I guess we can stay here for a little more, but just an exploration. We need to go back to Dustbowl to protect our base. If BLU gets our Dustbowl rocket, we will-", said Engineer, before being interrupted.
"No, forget about the war. You need to chill. Everything will go fine.", said Twilight.
"Hey, may I go in too?", asked Lyra as she went in.
"Of course!", answered Fluttershy.
At that same time, somewhere slightly far from Engy and Pyro...
Trixie was watching the whole scene unfold from far away with her talking binocule.
"Oh no. I won't let those intruders to be the new attention of this place.", said Trixie.
"Really? What have those guys done to you? They just accidentally came, and you start hating them?", the binocule stated.
"Yeah, but they will be the the center of the attentions on Ponyville, and maybe even Equestria! Everypony knows that I should deserve that!", she countered.
"Wow, when will she ever learn..." , thought the binocule.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The Mane 6 were showing Pyro and Engineer around Ponyville, as we saw in Part 2. Pyro was taking the lead, even though he didn't even knew the place. He went to the left, and to the right, inspecting closer the stores and such, just like a little kid.
"Umm, is he alyways like that? ", quietly asked Fluttershy to Engineer.
"Yep, Pyro's alyways like that. Still, neither me or my team know why he's like that.", Engineer answered.
The nine stopped at the Sugarcube Corner.
"This is where I both work and live! Cool, isn't it?", said Pinkie, as she quickly entered it, followed by Pyro, who was followed by the other eight.
The place had a very long waiting line. It seemed that the cupcakes seemed to be the best around, erm, Equestria? Engineer wasn't totally sure about that world, but it became more interesting after every second. Most ponies were looking at Pyro and Engineer. Some were scared, others actually liked them, mostly because no life outside Equestria was ever found. These two were the first ones, and they weren't even from this universe, they came from another dimension! Even though, Engineer was bothered.
"Uhh, mind if we move on?", politely asked Engy, while backing away from the ponies that stared deeply onto his soul.
"What? Aww, I just got a cupcake for you two!", Pinkie said, carrying two cupcakes.
"Uh, yeah, I guess I'll get one.", Engineer said, even though he wasn't in the mood. He ate a cupcake before, in TF2's 15th anniversary. God, that cupcake was not tasty. It was completely blue, it looked like it was chemically-made, not to mention it also remembered RED about their arch-enemies, the BLUs. The only ones who liked the cupcakes were Scout, Heavy and Spy. However, Pinkie's cupcakes were much different from TF2's cupcakes. He took one bite. At first, a horrible taste of dirt came through his mouth. He almost spat it out, but then the strawberry part came in, completely nullifying the dirt taste. He stared at the cupcake, before finishing it off in less than 5 seconds. He cleaned his mouth, and realized what he had done. Most ponies were staring at him, specially Rarity. "Whoops. Sorry, I just never ate something too awesome like this!", he said.
Pyro felt bad. As much as he wanted to eat the cupcake, his mask didn't allowed him to do so. But that didn't meant he couldn't try to do it, though! He picked the second cupcake, then smashed it on the mask's filter. Nope . Didn't work, all it did was to get his gas mask full of cupcake strawberry, and to move all of the ponies' awkward staring from Engineer to him. Even Mrs. Cake looked at Pyro. He backed up.
"Oove up!", Pyro said angrily as he busted out of the Sugarcube Corner, followed by Pinkie, then Engineer, then the rest of the ponies.
While on the way, an awkward sound played, and two floating messages saying 'You have new Items! Click here to open' appeared in front of Pyro and Engineer.
"What's that?", asked Twilight.
"It seems me and Pyro got some new items.", Engineer explained. Both he and Pyro pressed the message. "Hmm, let's see.....YEAH, I got the Unusual Texas Ten Gallon!", Engineer exclaimed as he pulled his backpack, and collected a white cowboy hat with star particles surrounding him. The tag readed 'Unusual Texas Ten Gallon - Level 125 hat. Effect: Sparkly Bright'. "Mmm, well, I don' need this darn hat anymore.", Engineer said as he picked his regular Texas Ten Gallon. "Hey, ya want to wear this hat, ma'am?", offered Engineer to Applejack.
"Sure. My hat's been gettin' old these days.", she explained as she wore the Engineer's old hat. "Thanks, mister.", she said.
"No problem.", Engineer answered with a tip of his new unusual.
Rarity just kept staring at Engineer's new 'unusual' hat. It was nothing different from the previous hat he had, except for a sparkly effect. She was about to ask him what's so important about an Unusual hat, but she was interrupted by Pyro.
"Huddah Huddah Huh!", Pyro cheered as he grabbed a Genuine Neon Annihilator and thrusted it on the air, along with a Genuine Human Cannonball hat and a Marxman. Rarity tried not to laugh at the Pyro's visual. He almost looked like a Street Gangster trying to infiltrate something with a crappy disguise goggles.
"I don't want to be rude, but, Pyro looks kinda...off....", Rarity suggested. Pyro shrugged.
"It's part of a new update, the Triad Pack.", Engineer answered.
"What is the Triad Pack about?", asked a curious Lyra.
"It's an update focusing about urban stuff. As such, things as weird as items Pyro got 'ere are the focus of the update.", said Engineer, much to the dislike of Rarity.
"Well, we are very close to my shop, so, I'd like to Pyro to take out these items. I don't want some 'urban' guy on my shop. Please?", begged Rarity.
"Nho.", said Pyro, as he hugged his new Genuine meelee weapon.
"I don' think it will be easy to get Pyro to take off his new items. Last time Heavy tried to force-trade Pyro's Back Scratcher with the Ghastlier Gibus, Heavy got beaten up violently by Pyro. I don' want Pyro to do the same to you.", Engineer said.
"Ugh. Fine, just don't get him to touch anything.", Rarity said.
The nine people and ponies entered what appeared to be Rarity's boutique shop. Engineer wasn't really interested in the dresses and suits on the store, mostly because they were meant for ponies, not humans. But Pyro didn't really seemed to care. He almost picked one, but was stopped by a paranoid Rarity.
"I told you not to touch this!", she said. Pyro lowered his head on a sorry stance.
The Engineer was searching around the store to look for something that could work with him. Suddently, he stumbled into something that him, Pyro, his teammates and even his enemies loved the most: Hats. He approached a golden top hat decorated with sparkly dots, along with what appeared to be badges. There were six badges: An apple badge, a butterfly badge, a thunderbolt badge, a badge he could not decipher, a sparkle badge, and even some party balloons badge. He decided to wear that hat.
"Whoowe, would ya look at that!", Engineer said. "Can I borrow this hat?", he asked.
"Oh, it's the hat me and my friends made!", Rarity said as she trotted next to Engineer. "We've been using it as a decoration, but, since you two are one of the most special guests we've ever recieved, I guess you can borrow it.", she continued.
"Thanks, ma'am.", Engineer replied, again, tipping his hat. "Well, I don' know what to do with my unusual now.", he continued.
Pyro looked over at the oportunity. He was jealous of Engineer's unusual, and even of his new hat, but atleast he could have his newly-found unusual hat. He approached it, and did a begging stance.
"Ok. Ya can borrow it.", Engineer said as he gave Pyro his now-useless Unusual hat. He knew Pyro would be jealous of Engy's new hat, so the least he could do is to give him his unusual gallon.
The three then found Pinkie running at them.
"Hey, I got an idea!", she said. "We should make a party tonight celebrating Pyro and Pyro's friend's arrival at Ponyvile, because, well, they're only staying here for a week, and well, it'ssadtohavefriendsleaveusonvacuum,apartywouldbethebestthingwecoulddobeforetheywouldbesentbacktotheirdimensionandforgetaboutuseventuallyandthenweforgetaboutthem-blahblahblahblahblah- ", she continued, before being completely non-understandeable. Before Engineer could even question, Rarity answered.
"Well, we would need to call the Princesses about this. I don't think they would be too excited to see that the two are here.", Rarity answered.
"Mmm, I kinda like the idea of having a party. But how we can notify the princesses, though?", Engineer asked.
"We can send it at Twilight's library! She is Celestia's number 1 student, she gets heard most of the times!", Pinkie answered.
"Ok, let's tell the other ponies about the idea!", said Rarity.
"Silly, they alterady know about the idea, I told it to them!", Pinkie said.
"Well, what are we doing 'ere, then? Off to Miss Sparkle's library!", Engineer said.
As such, the nine made their way to Twilight's library. Again, the Pyro was in the lead, still not knowing how to reach their destinations. He kept looking around the stores quickly in order to keep the lead. Most ponies actually found Pyro funny, others were just scared of him. While the Pyro was looking around the stories and keeping the 'lead', Lyra was once again asking Engineer questions.
"So, is there friendship on your planet?", she asked.
"Yeah. But not so intense as 'ere. After all, Earth is not a good, alyways-safe place to be, and it's absolutely horrible to learn it the bad way.", he answered.
"Do your teammates work as a team?", she continued.
"Not quite, even though they claim to be a team. Back before in 2011, RED managed to grab hold of Well, Dustbowl, Gravel Pit, Badwater Basin, Double Cross, Pipeline, 2Fort, Granary and Badlands' Capital just by working as a team, leavin' BLU with only Hydro under their control. Until, suddently, the REDs stopped working together, and BLU took care of Gravel Pit, 2Fort, Granary, and even prevented contact between us and the RED team from Badwater Basin, Double Cross and Pipeline.", he said.
"What might have happened with the REDs that lost their connections with your RED team?", she asked again.
"I dunno, neither does Pyro and the rest of my RED. Probably they died.", he continued.
"DIE?!?!", Fluttershy broke into the chat.
"Umm, yes, did you thought it was just a small, friendly push battle?", asked Engineer, slightly annoyed.
"Yeah....so, Earth is violent? ", asked Fluttershy, again with her shy voice.
"Well, I better remember not to accidentally teleport you with me and Pyro when we go back. You'll definitely have a bad time on Earth, because you look like you're about to faint...", Engineer said. "Hey, are you thristy?", he tried to change subjects.
"Yeah, I suppose I am... ", she continued.
"Then here's something for you to drink.", he said as he picked a can of Vintage BONK! Atomic Punch.
"Wow, even soda cans have tags on them?", asked Lyra.
"Yeah, pretty much every item that was made from Mann Co. haves tags on them.", Engineer explained, before handling the can to Fluttershy.
She then took a sip from the can, then spat it out. It was EXTREMELLY chemical, tasted like piss, and looked like it was extremely radioactive, since her mouth almost melted away.
"WOW!! I never drank something so horrible as this!", she said, now with a louder voice. She then put her hoofs on her mouth, both because she became afraid that somepony else heard her, and that she was not kind to Engineer.
"Yep, I agree. First time I drank BONK!, I did the same thing, but once I heard it makes you temporarily faster and invincible, I started to love it.", Engineer said, as he put the can back on his backpack.
Fluttershy was shocked upon hearing that it maked whoever drank it faster and invincible. She even felt a feeling of power. She decided to do something she would never do before: Perform a Sonic Rainboom.
"Hey, everypony! Look what I can do!", she said, as she flied upwards at an alarmingly-fast pace.
"What? What is she doing?", asked Rainbow Dash.
"Uhh, I decided to give her a can of BONK!, and she got a little too excited.", Engineer exclaimed. Even Pyro stopped to watch what was happening.
Fluttershy took a deep breath, then prepared to do the Sonic Rainboom. However, BONK!'s effect ended just before she was going to perform it. Unfortunaly, she was way too above, causing her to panic. Rainbow had to fly all the way up to her, then guide her back to the ground.
"Please, don't give me BONK! again... ", she asked.
"Okay, I'll remember that.", Engy replied.
Before the nine could even notice, Pyro was alterady at Twilight's library. He indicated that by raising his Neon Annihilator up on the air while doing a battle cry. Engineer was not shocked by it being on the shape of a tree.
Inside the library...
"Finally! The library is cleaned and tidied up!", Spike said as he looked around proudly. Suddently, the door smacked open.
"SPIKE! We need to send a letter to Princess Celestia immediatly!", Twilight said.
"Okay, okay, why? And who are those guys?", Spike said as he pointed at Pyro and Engineer.
"We want to tell her and Luna that those guys accidentally teleported into our dimension, and they can only stay here for one day, so we want to give them a goodbye fest!", Pinkie said.
"Ummm, okay.", Spike said as he started writing on the paper. "There! Now to send it!", he continued. He then breathed his greenish flames on the paper, making it disappear.
"Wait, he burned the paper? We can't send the letter to the Princess if the paper is burned!", Engineer said.
"No, it doesn't works like that. His breath sends the letter to the Princess. When the Princess replies, he spits out the reply letter.", Twilight explained.
Meanwhile in Canterlot...
"Princesses! A message for you!", yelled one of the guards as he bolted to the Princesses' throne rooms.
"Mmmm, let's see...", Celestia thought outloud. "Humans in Ponyville? Comming from Team Fortress 2?", she said.
"Uh oh, I don't like the sound of that.", Luna said.
"Yes, they don't seem too trustful. Although, due to how Twilight wrote in the message, the two humans seem to be friendly, and even seem to be the new center of attentions from Ponyville.", Celestia continued.
"Trixxie may not like this..." , Luna thought.
"Well, it says that they can only stay for one day, and that they would like to throw a 'goodbye' party. Most likely Pinkie asked for that part.", she said.
"Wait, wasn't there a party celebrating the discover of crystallities this noon?", asked Luna.
Celestia grabbed a newspaper, and said "Apparently, the two arrived just in the middle of the celebration. Then the goodbye party may compensate the crystallities' party. Plus, it will be on the night, this means you will be in charge of the party!".
Luna grinned, it was one of the few times she got to shine.
"Well, then let's accept it!", she said.
Back into Ponyville...
Before Engineer could ask them to tell him when the Princess replied, Spike spat out a letter. Twilight grabbed it.
"Yes! They are fine with Pyro, Engy AND the party!", Twilight cheered, who was later followed by the rest of the ponies, and Engineer.
"Huddah!", Pyro cheered as he thrusted his Neon Annihilator on the air.
"Well, let's get the word spreaded 'round town!", said Applejack.
Twilight printed many copies of posters, then everyone and everypony formed groups and went around random sections of Ponyville.
Meanwhile, atop a mountain...
"Ugh, now they will make a PARTY?!?! Things get worse every second! I must make people have a different opinion on those two intruders!", Trixie said as she watched Twilight's library the seven ponies and two humans leave with posters. Her talking binocule sighed.
"Seriously, what's wrong with a party?", her binocule asked.
"I wasn't invited to the crystallities' party, and I probably will not be invited to this one, either!", she proclaimed.
"You weren't invited because you were greedy, AND you keep acting greedy like you are now. Seriously, everypony dislikes you because you're such a big showboat, and those two new guys will most likely hate you!", the sentient binocule answered. "I wish I had feet. Because, if I had, then I would walk away and leave you alone, for I do not approve of your behavior. And I smell that you have a plan.", the binocule continued.
"Of course I have a plan. I'll impersonate as one of them, and make the ponies have a bad impression of them!", she explained. She then started making a maniacal laughter. "And if you don't want to help me, so be it!", she said as she dropped the binocule on the mountain.
"Hey, don't leave me here! HEY!!", said the binocule. Unfortunaly, the selfish blue pony had alterady left the mountain. Although, the binocule could faintly see her using her magic to look exactly like the RED Pyro.

The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 4: Misunderstandings
The Pyro entered Twilight's library, then picked the bag he left behind. He threw items out of the bag, looking for something. Nothing of use. Nothing. Well, that's until he picked up something large. It was his Strange Backburner with the Hale's Own rank. He started chuckling, which turned into a maniacal laugher.
"Who is there?", a voice said, apparently comming from upstairs.
Pyro immediatly sprinted out of the room, leaving behind a faint trail of blue confetti. Spike came from the staircase, wondering what happened. Pyro's bag had it's items spilled around. He approached it, and tried to look around for tips. He then noticed something that had a smell. A way too good smell. The smell that remembered him of somepony. He tried to think deeply, until he muttered something.
"Trixie.", he said. "I must warn Twilight!", he continued as he started running towards Ponyville.
Somewhere deeper into Ponyville...
"Hey, Pyro, I found a good place to stick those banners!", Pinkie said. The REAL Pyro followed her. Pyro started immediatly placing one of the papers, and smacking it with his Neon Annihilator. All he did was to damage a pole and to ruin the paper, and to cause some of the ponies to give him a frightened look.
"No, not like that, silly! Here's how you do it!", Pinkie said as she placed a nail on top of one of the papers. She picked a hammer, then started smacking the nail.
"How in the world can she hold the hammer without fingers?!?!" , Pyro thought. He was confused. But he decided not to let confusion take him down. He began to place the posters on the wall, and sticking them with the nail. Nice. Pyro noticed the sun was reaching the horizont. He and the rest didn't had much time before the party would ensue. And he was not sure if the princesses actually supported the party. However, his Spy-senses immediatly stung. Wait, how the hell could the BLU Spy reach this place? Oh, right, the teleporter. Still, none of the BLUs would even be interested on entering the building the teleporter was. The cap was alterady taken. He shook his head. Maybe it could be just him getting insane. Not every day you get warped to a strange town full of talking mystical creatures that were labeled as non-existant, right?
Meanwhile, on the other side of town...
Trixie held the Backburner. She wasn't sure if it would work, she had to gather a group of angry ponies, and lead them into the REAL Pyro. Problem is, she didn't even knew where Pyro was. After all, Pyro was teamed up with Pinkie, and she was completely random. It was impossible to deduct where Pyro was. She would just have to run around, hoping that she would reach Pyro, hide, and let the mobs attack the real Pyro. Plus, she couldn't let anypony else see her. Well, it would be centered around luck. She pressed the trigger. Flames started erupting from the dragon-shaped nozzle, like it was a real dragon. According to her plan, the ponies looked with a terrified look at the 'Pyro'. As she wanted, a small group of ponies picked their torches and pitchforks, then started heading towards her. She then got her hoofs - I mean, hands - out of the trigger, then started running around the alleys. Unfortunaly for her, the ponies started to have trouble reaching her. "What? They're alterady giving up?" , she thought. She started to run slower, allowing for the slow-mo group of ponies to keep up with her. She just hoped not to run into the Elements, Lyra, Engineer or worse, Pyro.
Somewhere on the farmlands...
"Dammit. I can feel a spah 'round here.", Engineer said as he stopped sticking one of the posters on a tree.
"What do ya mean?", Applejack asked.
"I can feel whenever someone's disguising. I alyways can.", he answered. "I'm feelin' it right now. Dammit, never thought that BLU Spy could reach me here.", he continued.
"But what's the problem with someone disguising?", she asked again as she picked another piece of paper.
"Well, ya see, the BLU Spy can disguise and infiltrate my base. Lately, after dealing with enough spies, I learned to feel whenever anything disguises as one of my 'team'. I felt that feelin' again, therefore, either the BLU Spy came here, or some of the ponies here can disguise.", Engineer answered.
"Well, there's a hoss in town that contains this ability. She might be the one who disguised.", Applejack said as she started smacking the nail with her hammer.
"Damn! I just hope she doesn't uses it for malicious purposes.", Engineer said.
Meanwhile...
Rainbow Dash was cruising the airs of Ponyville. She was proud of having the task of spreading the banners, after all, that was her speciality. She then noticed two Pyros on town: One next to Pinkie, and another being chased by an angry mob of ponies. "What the...", Rainbow said. She suddently noticed Spike running. "Well, maybe he can explain me this.", she said as she started approaching the ground.
Spike was running like mad trying to reach Twilight and others to warn them before Trixie could actually cause any damage and blame Pyro for it. He was startled by Rainbow Dash suddently landing on front of him.
"WOW! You scared me!", he said.
"Hey, Spike. You won't believe what I saw!", Rainbow said, completely ignoring what the dinosaur said.
"What?", he asked while rolling his eyes.
"Two Pyros!", she said. Spike's eyes widened.
"Oh! One of them must be Trixie! She went to the library, and stole something from Pyro's backpack!", he said.
"Oh, that explains.", she continued.
"We need to tell Twilight and others about this, and quick!", he said.
"Hop in!", Rainbow offered. Spike jumped in her back, unsure about what she would do. Suddently, she started flying. Spike never knew she flied THAT fast. They arrived in the Sweet Apple Acres in less than 20 seconds.
"Hey! Is Twilight inside?", asked Spike, still dazed.
"Yeah, she, Rarity, Fluttershy and Lyra are getting the place ready for the party.", Engineer answered.
"Ok, thanks!", Spike answered as he and Rainbow runned in.
"Do ya know why they were looking for Ms. Sparkle?", asked Engineer.
"I dunno. Maybe it's about the impersonating problem.", answered Applejack.
"Ok, the chairs, tables, play room and mostly everything is done. We only need the decorations!", said Twilight. Rarity was about to open her mouth, but was interrupted by Spike and Rainbow.
"Twilight, somepony is impersonating Pyro!", he said.
"What?! Who?", asked Twilight.
"Your nemesis.", he answered. Twilight's shocked eyes instantly became enraged eyes.
"Her.", she said. "Ok, you girls take care of the party. I'll take care of that ungrateful showboat!", she continued.
"Wow, I never expected such thing.", said Lyra. Rarity nodded.
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Some time after where Part 4 left us....
The party was done. It was completely decorated, filled with seats, games, dance floors, and all the such. Most ponies((obviously, except Trixie and the group of angry ponies chasing her thinking she is Pyro)) went into the party, as they were indicated by the banners. Engineer was showing someponies some of his inventions: The Dispense-O-Matic 9000 Provision Dispenser, able to heal anything((except some certain persons who were progammed not to be healed)) and, obviously, dispense objects such as metal; The Telemax Teleporters, able to teleport anything((Again, except the BLUs)) that stood on the teleporter entrance into the teleport exit, at the cost of having to recharge; and finally, the Sentry Mechanical Firing Device, which, as it's name mentions, is progammed to fire at certain targets. Sentries from RED are normally progammed to fire at anything that is not wearing red suits, but the Engineer built a certain Sentry Gun that was progammed only to shoot moving blue logs. To explain how the Sentries worked, the Engineer picked a loose piece of log, painted it blue, then threw it on the air. The Sentry beeped, aimed at the flying log piece, and fired at it. Pinkie was addicted to the teleporters; she was repeteadly teleporting at the Engineer's level 3 teleporter. However, Twilight hadn't returned yet.
"When will Twilight come back?", asked Lyra.
Just as she asked that, Twilight came in.
"Bad news. That showboat is planning to lead an angry mob of ponies onto Pyro!", she said.
Pyro immediatly became shocked upon hearing this. What would he do? He had to hide. But where? Every place there was opened, there was no place to hide, except on the forest nearby. He was about to run to there, but two things stopped him:
One: The forest most likely had angry animals seeking to devour him alive.
Two: The angry ponies had came.
Trixie was almost reaching the party. She took a tight turn, and hid. She undisguised, and watched as the mob of ponies stopped confused near there. She went out of the hiding spot.
"He went over there!", she said as she pointed to the party. Luckily for her, the ponies believed on her word, and started charging towards the party.
"Eeuaghafvada... ", Pyro mumbled, almost like he said a bad word. He ran behind Engineer.
"Why are ya hidin', Pyro?", he asked. Pyro answered by pointing at the ponies holding torches and pitchforks. "Aw, hell. ", he continued. All of the ponies then shifted their gazes to the angry ponies. Pinkie didn't even mind them at all.
"Oh hey, new guests!", she said.
"They aren't guests, Pinkie! They're after Pyro!", Twilight said.
"What? Why?", Engineer asked.
"Well, that showboat called Trixie seemingly doesn't wants you two there, so, she disguised as Pyro, did something bad, and led the angry ponies towards the REAL Pyro! We need to hide him!", she explained.
Pyro was alterady cowering on a corner. He'd get out his Vintage Degreaser and either airblast them away, or intimidate them, but he forgot his bag on the tree. Damn. He thought it was the end. He wished he could live a bit more. Fortunaly, the Engineer stepped in between the Pyro and the angry ponies.
"Pardners! This isn't what y'all think is happening! Pyro didn't did all this mess!", Engineer said. "It was-", he continued before being rudely cutted out.
"We don't care! Your 'friend' has proven that he's too dangerous to live in this world! We have to finish him!", one of the ponies said as he pushed Engy out of the way. They became surprised to see Pyro wasn't there anymore.
"Where's him?!", asked one of the ponies.
They saw Applejack's rear hoof briefly appear.
"FOLLOW HER!!!" , the leader of the mobs yelled.
"This way, mask!", said Applejack as she led Pyro around.
Pyro started to think. He didn't expected those ponies to save him. Actually, he started liking this world. At first, he felt horribly awkward, but now this world is actually cool. But his positive thoughts were cut by him and the orange pony being trapped by the angry ponies. However, a violet force-field grabbed him. It was the white pony. No, wait, Pyro decided to call the ponies by their names, now. It was Rarity who rescued him.
"Even though you look weird, I guess you're a nice guy. C'mon!", she said. Pyro followed her. She immediatly stopped upon seeing another wave of pitchfork-wielding ponies comming on front of them. Twilight then grabbed him Pyro started to feel funny about it. It was like they were fighting to have a beach ball or cookie, or something. Again, they stopped. But this time they were stopped by a gorge. Twilight threw Pyro around the gorge with the help of her magic. He landed on Pinkie.
"Oh, hi again! Y'know, I think we have something in common. Y'know, we're almost exactly the same! We're hard to understand, and!", she talked before being interrupted by Pyro.
"Uh-huh .", Pyro said. He realized he and Pinkie were exactly the same. However, a red pegasus almost grabbed him.
"Oove! Oove up! Oove up! ", he yelled. Pinkie started running while laughing. Suddently, Pyro joined the laughter. Unfortunaly, the two stopped laughing upon seeing the angry pegasus' forming a circle around them. Pyro changed his feeling from happy to scared. This time, there was no scape. Something grabbed him from above. Pyro closed his eyes. He was........
...rescued by Fluttershy.
"Ummm, I don't think I can carry you long enough, but I think it still saves you. ", she said, again on her usual quiet tone. Pyro opened his eyes, then realized he was riding the yellow pegasus. He almost squeaked upon seeing the two were high on the sky. He started to feel calmer. Pyro liked height, anyway. Unfortunaly, his peace was disrupted as he saw the enemies closing in. He remembered he still had his Neon Annihilated on. He equipped it, then started smacking the pegasus' who approached him. Not to kill them, just to knock them away. Unfortunaly, one of them reached him, took his meelee, hat and nose-glasses away. He threw them on the floor.
"NHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!", Pyro screamed as he saw his Genuine items being thrown away. The pegasus laughed. Pyro was filled with rage. He decided to prove him he was still good without his items. He charged a punch. Unfortunaly, Pyro wasn't good with punches as much as Heavy is. The pegasus dodged it easily. Dang. He looked at Fluttershy. She was completely panicking. Something then grabbed Pyro. He looked up. It was Rainbow Dash. Pyro mumbled something while pointing at the pegasus' who were catching up with the two.
"Outrunning them? That's no matter. Hang tight!", she said. Suddently, she doubled - no, tripled her speed, going almost as fast as the speed of sound, maybe even faster. Unfortunaly, something grabbed her, stopping her on her tracks.
A rope.
The two were slowly pushed.
The angry mobs of ponies had captured everypony who wasn't chasing Pyro. Even Engineer. Those ropes were magic-proof, so Twilight, Rarity and Lyra were forced not to use magic, along with the other captured unicorns.
One of the unicorns placed Pyro above a firepit.
"And, this year, we will punish Equestria's most dangero-", he said, before looking up.
The Princesses had arrived. Just in time. Engineer facepalmed.
"Ok, mind explaining what is happening here?", asked Celestia, looking with a suspicious or angry look at the unicorn that was about to burn Pyro. "What in the world are you doing?!?!", she continued, now with an angrier tone.
"Uhhh......I was....", he started saying slowly.
"One of the ponies here called Trixie tricked 'em into thinkin' that Pyro burned part of Ponyville. They don' seem to listen t'us.", Engineer explained.
"Well, that explains everything. I guess this day isn't a day for parties.", Luna said.
"Indeed.", Celestia replied. "Sister, call the guards. We need them to look for Trixie. I need to have a talk with her.", she continued.
"Alright!", Luna replied as she went away.
Later...
"We're very sorry for the unwelcomming stay here. We hope you don't have a bad impression of us. I talked to Trixie, she was forced to fix the burned part of the town.", Celestia replied.
"Nah, that's nothing. We had worse times.", Engineer said.
"Well, it's sad to have to wave goodbye to others. Specially when they're from a different world!", said Lyra. Engineer replied with a nod.
"Yeah. And it seems 'ere that Pyro made a friend.", Engineer said, as he looked at Pyro hugging Pinkie((hair slightly straight)). Both of them were sad.
Trixie was very angered. The two managed to get away with her prank, and she had to repair the burned town! And worse: the fire had spreaded around most of Ponyville. That meant more job for her to do. "Well, atleast those idiotic intruders are going away now." , she thought.
Pyro and Engineer waved goodbye to the ponies, as they stood on the gray teleporter. The usual teleporting glow appeared. However, the two were still there after them being teleported.
"What the...", Engineer said. Pinkie's sad face started to turn into a happier face((and her hair slowly becomming normal again)). Pyro also started to become slightly happy.
"What happened?", asked Twilight.
Engineer inspected the strange teleporter. There was something green. Engineer took a look at the green thing, then got up.
"The teleporter ran out of power.", he said. The ponies((except Pinkie, of course)) gasped.
"How much is needed to refill?", asked one of the ponies.
"500,000 tons of uranium.", Engineer answered.
"Oh no. This must not be happening." , Trixie thought.

The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 6: The Hunt for Uranium and Pyro's Items
Author's Note: This was supposed to be published yesterday, but something happened and I had to delay it. Sorry!
Chapter 1: No Way Back
"That's it! I'm seeking professional help now!" , thought Trixie. Soon, she would have her revenge. Not only with Pyro and Engineer, but with all the other ponies. She knew exactly who to call. But first, she would need to finish cleaning this mess.
"Uhh, sorry if I am bein' rude, but we need a place t'stay.", said Engineer.
"No, you're not! You can stay here.", said Twilight.
"Okay. Well, where can me and Pyro stay?", Engineer continued.
"There's only three places open for visits. There's the Sugarcube Corner, the Sweet Apple Acres and the Hotel. However, the Sugarcube Corner and the Sweet Apple Acres only have one slot, and the Hotel obviously is paid, and I doubt your currency is the same as ours.", said Rarity. "Well, that is if your place doesn't uses bits.", she continued.
"Nah. Even though we have many currency types, I don' think there's a currency called bits.", he said. "Well, I guess Pyro stays at the Sugarcube Corner, and I stay at the Sweet Apple Acres.", he continued.
Pyro jumped with excitement. The only thing he didn't liked is that it was the same place he did that ridiculous thing. But he guessed that they forgot by now. After all, that happened about between morning and midday, and it was now reaching the middle of the night.
"Well, me and Luna are heading back to Canterlot now.", said Celestia. "Applejack, you should help Engineer with gathering uranium. If possible Pyro should help, too.", she continued. The two princesses then headed back to Canterlot.
Pyro didn't wanted to leave, so he wouldn't help. Even if that meant to damage Engineer, he would not help. He wanted to stay in Ponyville for the rest of his life. However, the Engineer was thinking the exact opposite of what the Pyro was thinking.
"Dammit. I don' know how RED's doin'. An' it's already night. I hope the darn BLUs haven't capped Dustbowl base.", said Engineer.
"Then we should get the uranium as fast as possible. Unfortunaly, we can't start just now. As ya see, it's night. We got to sleep.", said Applejack. "C'mon, follow me!", she continued.
"Okay. I just hope that we can get the uranium quick enough.", Engy replied as he followed the orange pony.
"Hey Pyro, c'mon! Let's go to the Sugarcube Corner!", said Pinkie as she started bouncing up and down towards the bakery, followed by Pyro, who was bunnyhopping.
Pyro was sure they had forgotten about that little cupcake incident. However, Mrs. Cake's reaction proved otherwise.
"Hey, Pinkie! Is that the person who tried to eat a cupcake and failed?", she asked. Both her and Pinkie laughed. Pyro knocked out cold.
Pyro awoke some time later on a strange room. Had he returned back home? Pyro started to get worried. Unfortunaly - Fortunaly, for him, he was still in Equestria. He was apparently in somepony's bedroom. He was about to think which pony resided in this bedroom, on which he was interrupted by Pinkie comming, carrying two trays.
"Oh, you're awake! Sorry for laughing earlier, I didn't knew you became embarrased, so I brought dinner for you! Oh wait, right, you cannot eat with the mask! But we can solve it!", she said. She put the trays on a table, then jumped above Pyro. Pyro had mixed feelings at that time. Was she going to......oh good. She was only trying to pull his mask off. Unfortunaly, it was excruciatingly painful for him. The mask had eventually sticked to Pyro's skin, making it insanely painful to take it out. Pyro started to scream, indicating that it was painful. Pinkie stopped trying.
"Well, I suppose you cannot eat. But how can you survive without eating?", she said as she drawed her face closer to Pyro's face. Pyro remembered that he could open the filter. Why he didn't remembered it when he tried to eat the cupcake? Oh, the teleporter must have made him forget about it. He decided to pop out the filter.
"Ooh, you can do that! But why didn't you did it when you tried to eat the cupcake? Oh, and why you don't talk with the filter?", she asked.
Pyro noticed how he forgot how to talk, after all those years without being able to talk. All he knew to do is to make some groaning noises. He still couldn't answer. He went to the tray. It was a salad. Oh god, Pyro hated salads. He was not veggie. He was a carnivore. Problem is, it seemed that on this world, no meat is produced. Well, that's a downside. Pyro poked the salad. The salad was made of grass, lettuce, carrot, and all things Pyro hated. However, Pyro thought that this salad wouldn't taste so bad. He decided to take a bite.
*Nom nom noms, om nom*
*Vomit*
Pyro couldn't believe it. That was worse than the salad he ate before. It tasted like raw grass, like it was horse food!
...
Actually, it makes sense, since they were ponies. He took a big sip of the milk to take the gross taste of the salad out.
"Sorry, I didn't knew you didn't liked sandwiches! Anyway, what do you like to eat?", she asked.
Pyro wasn't sure about what to do. He alterady couldn't speak properly, so he doubted she would be able to understand.
"Mm mhlk shmmllmm.", Pyro mumbled.
"You mean you like chilli?", Pinkie answered.
Pyro was shocked. In all the years in the battlefield, no single man had even understood him. And Pinkie seemed to understand correctly what he said! He made an energetic nod.
"Ok, I'll be-righty-back!", she said as she picked Pyro's tray and bounced happily out of the bedroom. Pyro decided to go clean the vomit with the toilet paper.
Meanwhile....
"I don' happen to eat hay, ma'am. Is there anythin' else to eat?", asked Engineer.
"Well, we can prepare an apple pie. Is that okay for ya?", answered Applejack. Engineer answered with a nod.
Engy was chilling on the free room that was available at the Sweet Apple Acres. Even though the food there was generally not satisfying for him, that place had something Engineer liked: Plenty of space. Plus, he loved eating pies. He could get used to that place. Still, he was bothered that he couldn't defend the RED base. At this time, the BLUs probably took control of the RED entrance, and are capturing the RED base. Oh, if they ever manage to capture Dustbowl, the REDs would be on an extreme disadvantage, as they would only have Well on their domain. And it would be a matter of speed. As they would need to insert the fuel on the rocket before BLU could insert on their own rocket, so the RED's rocket could blow up BLU's Well base, and retake their posession on Dustbowl. He quickly remembered that he wouldn't bury his face on the pie, so he quickly crafted himself a fork and a knife.
"Alright, the pie is done.", said Applejack as she entered the room Engineer was in. "Ah, I remember Lyra sayin' something about humans eating with forks and knives. Now I see that it was true.", she continued.
"Yeah. And certain people, like Spy, are very restrictive 'bout it. They even use forks and knives when eating certain things that don't need 'em, like bread.", replied Engineer, as he started eating his pie.
"Well, I'll go sleep now. See ya tomorrow!", she said. Engineer nodded.
After he finished eating his pie, he went to sleep.
Due to Pyro's satisfied look upon eating the chilli, Pinkie realized that Pyro likes eating hot stuff. She didn't even knew how Pyro could withstand the chilli, it was burning hot and Pyro consumed it anyway. Even milk seemed not enough to cool down the chilli. As soon as Pyro finished eating, he laid down and slept on the secondary bed. Pinkie then decided to sleep, too.
At the next day...
"wake up....", a voice said.
Pyro shaked slightly.
"wake up....!", the voice continued.
Pyro groaned.
"Wake Up!", the voice screamed.
Pyro opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Pinkie's face.
"Oh, finally you're awake! C'mon, I want to show you more parts of this town!", she said.
Pyro slowly got up. His vision was still blurred, but he could still have his senses. He went outside the Sugarcube Corner, now filled with ponies on the waiting line. However, as soon as he put his feet outside of the bakery, three fillies appeared next to him and Pinkie. He noticed they were the same ponies that appeared earlier on the treehouse, who seemed to be called the 'Cutie Mark Crusaders'.
"Hey, look at what we found!", said Apple Bloom, wearing the Pyro's Marxman goggles.
"Ha! You look ugly!", mocked Scootaloo, who was wearing Pyro's Human Cannonball.
"Your hats are stolen again! Look at the tags!", broke in Sweetie Belle, who unlike the other fillies, was wearing no hat, but was holding Pyro's Neon Annihilator.
"You lied, just like before! Also, you're wearing no hat!", replied Apple Bloom.
"Why would I wear items that were picked up from a trash can?", said Sweetie Belle.
"They are not from a trash can! Even if they were, you would be holding something that came from a trash can!", yelled Scootaloo.
Again, the school ponies broke into a fight amongst themselves. Pyro yelled something.
"STHOFPH!" , yelled Pyro. The CMC stopped fighting. He pointed at the Marxman, Neon Annihilator and Human Cannonball. "Tfhis, mhine!", he mumbled, shortly after pointing at him. The three fillies raised an eyebrow.
"He means those super-duper interesting items belong to him!", traducted Pinkie. The fillies answered with an 'Oooh!'. However, before Pyro could get his items back, the three fillies wearing his items backed up.
"No, no! You're not getting our items unless you beat us in a hide-'n'-seek game!", said Apple Bloom. "You two count to 20 while me, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo hide!", she continued.
"Oh, I wanna play too! I'll hide!", said Pinkie.
"Alright! Well, Pyro, start counting!", said Scootaloo.
Pyro went to a wall, and started counting. Pyro mumbled to himself "1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10...11...12...13...14...15...16...17...18...19...20!"
Pyro decided to head north-west from the Sugarcube Corner, as it was most likely that one of the four were there. After walking for 7 seconds, he realized that there were more people hiding in there than they expected. A hot pink tail and two brighter pink rear hooves were poking out of a bush.
"C'mon, hide yourself! Pyro most likely alterady started!", said a young voice.
"I'm trying, but this bush is so small and so super-duper tickling that I can't fit in!", answered another voice, who finally fully hid.
Pyro snuckt up on the bush, and pulled it down, revealing both Pinkie and Scootaloo.
"Dammit, they found us! I told ya to hide!", said Scootaloo with an angered tone.
"I'm sorry!", answered Pinkie.
"Argh, fine, mask. Have your helmet. I don't need it, anyway.", said Scootaloo before heading away. Pyro wore his Genuine Hat, and cheered.
"Sorry, Pyro, I gotta go back to the Sugracube Corner! Good luck!", said Pinkie as she bounced back to the bakery. Pyro felt slightly sad. He wanted to discover the other two fillies along with her. Anyway, Pyro still had a mission to conclude. He decided to look around the center of the town.
Pyro was shocked by seeing one of the two remaining ponies out in the open, right next to Rarity's shop. It appeared that Sweetie Belle was being scolded by Rarity. He snuckt up on them.
"And WHY would you even try to steal a public sign? Not only that is illegal, but that's an act of bandits! I have teached you not to grow up like a bandit, and now you're acting like one?", yelled Rarity.
"But, but I'm trying to tell yo-", squeaked Sweetie Belle, before being interrupted.
"I said no more buts!", yelled Rarity, before noticing Pyro approaching. "Oh, hi, mister! Look what Sweetie belle did!", said her.
Pyro looked at the sign she was holding. He picked up the sign, and said "Smh sphthol mhy ithyem! Fhanks!".
"Wait, is this your item?", asked Rarity. Pyro nodded. She looked at Sweetie Belle.
"I was trying to tell you. Me and the others found some items dropped around Ponyville, and we took them, and today we found out it belonged to Pyro! I was trying to find him to give it to him!", lied Sweetie Belle.
"Oh! I'm sorry, truly sorry for scolding you for no reason, I didn't knew that. Oh, silly me!", said Rarity before entering her shop. Pyro was dumbfounded by seeing the filly lieing. But atleast he had his Genuine back. She was off the hook for now. He did a fake thumbs-up to the filly, and once Rarity entered, he switched the thumbs-up to an 'Im watching you' gest, before going away.
Ok, the last filly was going to be hard. He had looked around every corner of Ponyville. Well, every corner except the Sweet Apple Acres. He started to head to there, completely forgetting that Engineer and Applejack were there mining for uranium, and had tasked him to help them. Pyro entered the place, without noticing Engineer and company. Pyro looked around every corner of the plantations. He saw the foliage of every vegetable sticking out of the soil.
Green, green, green, green, green, red, green, wait, RED?!?! Pyro inspected the red foliage. Other than the color, it was nothing like the other green foliage. It seemed too off-place and unrealistic. Not to mention it was taller than the other foliage. He decided to yank it. But what if it was really a vegetable? Whoever was the owner of the place would chew on him. But he ignored it. He was determined to find that yellow filly. He held the red foliage, and started to push it with all of his strength. He did it, at the cost of landing his butt heavily on the ground. To his surprise, it was really the pony, who was gasping for air.
"Finally! *gasp* I thought you...*gasp*...would never....*gasp*....find me....*gasp*...!", she said. Pyro quickly looked at her face. The glasses were not there. He placed her on the ground, and started looking for the hole that she had buried herself into. nothing there.
"You thought I would have the glasses with me? Of course not, I hid them somewhere else!", she said. Pyro was confused. Now where she placed Pyro's goggles?
Meanwhile...
"What did ya got?", asked Applejack.
"Seems to be Pyro's goggles. A yellow filly gave it to me.", Engineer answered. "I'm going to give them back to Pyro via trade.", he continued.
Just as Pyro started thinking, he recieved a trade request. Wow, he still had acess to trade requests on Equestria. He opened it. Oh, it was from the Engineer. What was Engineer going to trade him with? Just as Pyro thought of that, the Engineer offered the Pyro's missing goggles, and he didn't asked anything in return. Pyro immediatly accepted the trade.
"Dammit, I knew I shouldn't of have gave it to him!", mumbled Apple Bloom, as she walked away.
Pyro had his loadout completed again. He cheered by doing his air guitar taunt. Pyro remembered that he was tasked to help Engineer and Applejack to find uranium to return to the world. Pyro frowned upon this. If there's one thing he was thinking, it was that he would NOT help. He would plan to do something that would convince the two to forget about having him to help. He walked sadly to the mining point.
Just as Engineer was starting to wonder when Pyro would come, his gas-masked friend came.
"There ya are, Pyro! Could ya help us to dig a mining hole here? Just like Minecraft, except it's in real life! Well, sorta.", said Engineer. Even though Pyro liked Minecraft, he still didn't wanted to help.
"Nho. ", mumbled Pyro as he shook his head.
"Wait, what? Y'want to stay in this world?", asked Engineer.
"Uh-huh. ", Pyro answered as he nodded.
"Ugh. I guess ya can explore 'round 'ere while we try to find some uranium. Then, I guess we can stay 'ere for a li'l more time.", answered Engineer. Pyro jumped with joy as he left the place.
Before Engineer could even notice, Applejack had alterady dug a big tunnel.
"Whoa! Ya have alterady made a mineshaft?!", asked Engineer.
"Yeah, that was nothing.", answered Applejack.
"Well, I guess we need to have something t'repair our pickaxes. And that's the role of a Dispenser.", said Engineer. He picked up his calculator-like PDA, pressed a button, and a toolbox appeared in front of him. Engineer withdrew his PDA, opened his toolbox, and a machine started to set up.
"Dispenser goin' up! ", said Engineer as he started to smack the Dispenser with his wrench, speeding up the process. "Well, I suppose we can use the dispenser to repair our pickaxes whenever they break.", he said. "Anyway, back to the minin'!", continued him before the two entered the tunnel, while carrying a lantern.
The two stumbled into an underground cave, containing a massive lake. That was nothing of their interest, though. They explored some more, and they couldn't believe what they saw: A massive vein of uranium! The two started mining the uranium, with Engineer storing the uranium in his backpack. They only stopped when their pickaxes broke.
"Well, time to repair them.", said Applejack. The two headed back into the surface, and repaired their pickaxes with the dispenser. Unfortunaly, the dispenser was level 1, thus, it took 3 minutes to repair the pickaxes. "Isn't there any faster way to repair them?", she asked.
"Well, I can upgrade the dispenser to level 3. It'll upgrade much faster.", answered Engineer. He picked his wrench, and smacked the dispenser with it. The dispenser upgraded to level 2. Still, it would take 1.5 minutes to fully repair a pickaxe. He smacked it a few times more, and it upgraded to level 3. "Now it'll repair a pickaxe within 30 seconds.", he said.
The two went again underground and to the uranium vein. Unfortunaly, something was guarding the uranium vein.
It was the cave monster.
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Author's Note: Eh, this might not really be worth the wait. Don't expect much from this part.
"Quick! Dive to the right!", said Applejack as she dived to the left. Engineer then went to the right. The cave beast almost punched the two, before turning around, and almost punching Engineer.
"What we do now?", asked Engineer, as he quickly dodged the beast's punch.
"Dodge his attacks while dealing yours!", she answered as she took the oportunity that the monster was focused on Engineer by kicking him with her rear hooves. The monster fell to the ground, before shortly after getting up, and going after Applejack. "Uh, a li'l help here!", she asked. The monster was about to crush her, until he screamed in pain. Engineer had striked the monster from behind with a knife. A lethal backstab. The cave beast fell to the ground, almost crushing Applejack.
"Whew, that was close!", she said.
"Yep. Thank heavens I had Spy's butterfly knife.", Engineer replied. The two proceeded to mine the uranium vein. Only little bits were left, and their pickaxes were almost broken. the two went upstairs to repair their pickaxes. As soon as the Engineer got the uranium from his small-backpack-that-held-over-300-items, Applejack came with a weight.
"Put the uranium here. We'll weight it to see if it's enough.", she said. Engineer placed the uranium on the weight.
'102,536 tons'.
"Well, that's a good start.", said Engineer.
Meanwhile...
Pyro was bunnyhopping throughout Ponyville. Suddently, he heard the noise of an orchestra comming from a theatre, or something. Pyro decided to enter it. He found a bundle of seats, with two ponies sitting down, and one pony in front of all of them. One of the ponies were mint green, one he formerly knew as Lyra. The other two he didn't knew, but the one sitting down was white, just like Rarity, but her hair was different, aswell with the symbol on her flank. The other pony was stone gray, and was also playing a violin. The two ponies clapped as soon as she stopped.
"Wow, you're good! No wonder you'll go completely fine tomorrow!", said Lyra.
"Thanks. But I'm slightly nervous, I don't know if those two new guys will like.", the gray pony said.
"Of course they will, Octy! I bet they have classic music on their world, too!", said the white pony.
The gray pony looked at Pyro, which caused the two other ponies to also look at him.
"Oh, he came!", said Lyra. Pyro approached them.
"Gvuuh jovhh. ", said Pyro.
"What did he said?", questioned Lyra.
"I think he said 'Good job'. I don't know.", suggested the gray pony.
"No, he said 'Nice job'!", replied the white pony.
"No, it was 'Good job', I know he said it.", said the gray pony.
"No, 'Nice job'!"
"No, 'Good job'!"
"Girls, stop arguing! Both things are good, so why discuss?", interrupted Lyra. Pyro nodded. He stared at the two ponies.
"Mmh mmrghmmht mhs mm mmht mm? ", asked Pyro. The ponies looked at each other.
"I think he's asking who are you two.", suggested Lyra.
"Oh. Well, I'm Octavia, and the white pony over here is Vinyl.", explained the gray pony.
"And you, what's your name?", asked Vinyl.
"Phyro... ", mumbled Pyro.
"Eh, what? You gotta turn the volume up!", said Vinyl.
"Hey, give him a time, he hardly knows us.", said Octavia.
"Well, I met him earlier. He is Pyro.", said Lyra.
"Why he said quietly, then?", asked Vinyl.
"Mrh! Hrt hr nha phrnt yrh mrprph! Mm mmrgh mh mh, mh mm mh hm hm mm! ", mumbled Pyro.
"Eh, what?", said Vinyl.
"Uhh, I don't think we'll ever understand him.", replied Lyra.
"Hellooooooooooo! ", said Pyro as he looked on his bag, and pulled a large shotgun with a tag saying 'Frontier Justice - Level 5 Shotgun'. He pointed it at Octavia.
"OH MY GOD! What I did wrong?!", she screamed as she pulled her frontal hooves upward.
"Hey, easy there! We didn't knew we made you upset!", said Vinyl.
Lyra was about to use her magic to take the Frontier Justice from Pyro, but he placed it on his pocket, then, out of nowhere, picked a guitar from behind him. He played a few notes, before smacking it on the floor. He picked the shotgun again, and pointed it at Octavia, who panicked again. Lyra readied her magic, but again, Pyro placed the shotgun on his pocket, picked a new guitar, played a few notes, and smacked it on the floor. He then picked the shotgun again. He did it three more times, on which, once he finished, he started to bow.
"Mmmhhhh mmm! ", mumbled Pyro. The other ponies stood there, completely frozen.
"Wait, was that a guitar playthrough?", asked Octavia.
"Uh-huh. ", said Pyro as he nodded.
"Do you know any other guitar playthroughs?", she continued.
"Nho. ", he said as he shook his head.
"Well, I can teach you some guitar skills. Want to learn?", she offered.
"Exfellend! ", Pyro said as he nodded energetically.
Lyra and Vinyl then proceeeded to watch as Octavia teached Pyro some guitar lessons. At first, Pyro's single note sounded like this , but later, it started to sound like this . A few minutes later, he alterady mastered a single guitar sound. However, Pyro couldn't resist to smash his guitar on the floor whenever he finished, much to the disgust of Octavia. She then made a note to herself to never give Pyro one of her violins.
Pyro then pulled out his Third Degree axe. The three ponies looked at him awkardly, until he did the axe's taunt. He started to play it as it were a guitar, and it emmited heavy metal noises . Pyro continued to play with his Third Degree, and finally finished it, and, as usual, smacking it on the floor((but not breaking it)). Pyro had now learned now to play music. Now, what else could the ponies teach him?
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 8: The ((not-so))Armageddon
Author's Note: Since I want to make Chapter 1 a little longer, this part will be divided in two sections. This section is from Pyro's perspective, while the next section will be from Engineer's perspective.
Before they could even notice, Pyro and Vinyl were alterady playing a song known by the TF2 Community as 'The Calm '. It was a nice song, and judging that Valve wasn't present in Equestria, they wouldn't suffer of copyright infringement.
"That was sweet! Where did you learned this music?", asked Vinyl.
Pyro answered by pointing at his RED team console. Just before somepony could say anything, Rainbow came bursting by the door, while screaming.
"Lyra! Vinyl! Octavia! I need hel-", she said. Unfortunaly, she barged into the room in the same moment that Pyro was playing with his Third Degree. As soon as he finished playing it, a shockwave came out of it, going upwards, and hitting Dash, knocking her backwards and into the floor. Pyro thrusted his Third Degree in the air while cheering, just before smacking it into the ground.
"What the hay was that?!", asked Lyra.
"I don't know, but it was cool! Do it again!", replied Vinyl. Octavia rolled her eyes. Pyro did an innocent whistle as Dash got back on her hooves.
"Doesn't matters! I decided to prank Applejack while hardhat was gone with some Poison Joke again, and she disappeared, like the other time!", she said.
"Ugh, Dash, haven't we told you like one hundred times that you shouldn't use those Jokes?", said Octavia.
"Yeah, but she pranked me yet again just before hardhat and mask came, and I decided to give revenge on her, and she was simply gone!", defended Rainbow.
"Alright, let's go look for her.", said Lyra, as the foursome quickly left, leaving the RED Pyro alone on the room. He picked his Third Degree, then headed outside, completely oblivious to what happened with Applejack, and not even checking with Engineer. Pyro wanted to have fun, not to solve mysteries and such, as he does back in Badlands.
Heck, one time he had to look around 2Fort just to find Archimedes, one of Medic's pet doves. Turns out that the pesky little dove was hidden deep within the BLU base, standing right atop of the intelligence. He had to cross thousands of enemy Heavies, Soldiers, Stickybomb Carpets, Level 3 Sentry Guns, and heck, he was even almost burned alive by the BLU Pyro. Not to mention that on the way back he was bullied by his nemesis, the BLU Scout. Oh, how Pyro hated the BLU Scout. But there was alyways the RED Engineer with his Sentry to exterminate the BLU Scout, and he was alyways there to exterminate the Engineer's arch-enemy, the BLU Spy.
The Pyro noticed he was thinking randomly yet again. He shook his head, and found himself next to the treehouse he was before. He remembered that it was the library of that pony whose special talent is magic, Twilight. Pyro thought that she could teach him a few magic tricks, as Pyro alyways wanted to do something similar to Heavy's showdown taunt. He slowly opened the door, and found the purple pony reading a book. Wow. Pyro disliked books as much as he disliked the Bombinomicon. She turned her head to Pyro.
"Uh, hi, how can I help you?", she asked. Pyro answered by pointing at her horn, and placing his hands at the top of his head, and starting to lean to the left and to the right. Spike gave Pyro an awkward look.
"You mean you want to learn magic?", she asked. Those ponies were starting to understand Pyro.
"Uh-huh.", mumbled Pyro. Unfortunaly, the answer wasn't satisfying to Pyro.
"Sorry, but I can't just teach somep- I mean, somebody magic. It's not that easy.", said Twilight.
However, Pyro insisted. He knew there was a way. He then pointed at Twilight's horn, then at him.
"Now you want me to transfer part of my magic to you?", she said. Pyro nodded. Twilight hesitated upon doing this. This could mean her losing her magic supply. But, even though she wasn't the Element of Generosity, she decided it was worth a shot. She focused, then a beam of purple magic started swirling towards the Pyro, targeting his heart. Pyro could feel the feeling of magic deep inside him, which started to blind him. After 6 seconds, it stopped, giving Pyro back his vision.
Pyro decided to test. He tried to think of a move. He knew one: The hadouken. He placed his left foot on front of him, and his right one behind him. He moved his hands, and placed him in his right flank. A red glow appeared on his hand. He knew it was working, as he could feel the magic swirling on his hand. He thrusted his hands foward. A cloud of flames appeared. Still, that was not enough. Pyro knew he could do more.
He decided to let his mind do the job now. He closed his eyes, and he could feel his arms moving on an arc above him. As he did it, he could feel the power inside him growing stronger and stronger, until it was so strong, that he got slightly possessed.
"MWA HA HA!!!", yelled the possessed Pyro, as a massive ring of flames appeared. Pyro quickly regained his senses. He shook his head. He found Twilight and Spike looking at him with their eyes widened.
"Wow.....that was....", slowly said Spike. He was interrupted as he saw Rainbow, Lyra, Vinyl, Octavia, Rarity and Engineer burst into the room.
"We need help!!", screamed Rainbow.
"With what?", asked Twilight.
"Rainbow 'accidentally' swallowed Applejack again.", explained Octavia.
"Oh, not again. Okay, let me focus.", said the purple unicorn, as her horn started to glow. The purple glow started to reach to Rainbow's stomach, but, as soon as it reached it, Twilight fell back.
"What happened?", asked Rarity.
"I think I accidentally gave Pyro too much magic when he asked me to do it.", explained Twilight.
Pyro started to feel guilty. Now, either the ninesome would do something about it, or Rainbow Dash would digest Applejack, or Applejack would grow back to her normal size, thus killing Rainbow Dash.
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 9: Eliminating the Impossible
Notice: This part shares similarities to another story called 'Equestria: A Flux Tale', created by Star Sage. The facts that were borrowed from that story were the ideas of having Applejack being swallowed by Rainbow Dash, and by having a colt called Deasley to aid in shrinking Pyro so he can rescue Applejack, and then making the two grow back to normal size. Credits to Star Sage for creating an inspiration for Parts 8 and 9.
Back to wherer Part 7 left us, from Engineer's perspective....
Engineer was shocked upon seeing that they alterady collected 102 tons of uranium. If they kept at that same rate, it would take little time to get enough uranium! Unfortunaly((Fortunaly for those who want Pyro and Engy to stay longer in Equestria -- in other words, fortunaly for Pyro)), little did Engineer knew that those were just the only vein of uranium, and that the rest of uranium was spreaded around in bits that barely weighed 1 ton. Suddently, Engineer found the sudden need to use the bathroom.
"Uh, ma'am, is there a bathroom for me to use?", asked Engineer. Applejack giggled.
"Sure, let me show you the way!", she said, as she started to guide Engineer.
Rainbow Dash looked as Applejack and Engineer left the mining place. She remembered the time Applejack tricked Rainbow into thinking that Pinkie was a cotton candy back at some time before Pyro and Engineer arrived. So many ponies laughed at her. She would have Applejack shrunken to the size of a tiny dot for the rest of the day. She slowly soared downwards, and poured the Poison Joke she bought into Applejack's pickaxe. She managed to tell the difference from Applejack's pickaxe from Engineer's pickaxe, as Engy's was a silver one that was coated in blood. Plus, it had a tag that readed 'Equalizer - Level 10 Pickaxe'. 'Why would a pickaxe be named Equalizer, and why it claims it is Level 10?' , thought Rainbow. That's when she readed the rest of the tag.
Damage increases as the user becomes injured
Wow, that was new. She didn't even thought of pickaxes being used as weapons, and, although it seemed to be good to deal more damage as the wielder is harmed, playing with health didn't seem safe. She quickly shook her head, then poured the Poison Joke at Applejack's pickaxe. She took another glare at the Equalizer, before flying away. Equalizer. Such a weird name for a pickaxe.
"Please, don't even remind me of that experience.", said Engineer.
"Heh, okay, I'll won't.", replied Applejack as she giggled.
Engineer grunted. Well, he had to return to his work. He grabbed his pickaxe, then glared at the uranium units on top of the weight. He just hoped that he could go back to his house. He missed the times when his Sentry gained massive killstreaks, as it killed the BLU Scout as it chased the RED Pyro, as it struggled to fend off an Übered Heavy, and strangely, as it was repeteadly sapped by the BLU Spy. He shook his head.
"Alrighty, let's get to the...", Engineer said, before turning around. "...mining?", he continued. His partner was not even there. "Where the heck did she went to?", he continued. He started to walk around, while scratching the back of his head.
Meanwhile, Applejack found herself shrunk to a size smaller than a fly. What happened? The only thing that shrunk together with her was her pickaxe, but that was nothing of use. She saw the Engineer turn around, then wonder where she went.
"Hey!! I'm down here!", she screamed as she hopped up and down. No avail.
Engineer walked towards her, almost stepping at her by doing so, but luckily, she avoided his right foot, while narrowly avoiding his left one. Then, something hit her head. It must of had been Rainbow Dash giving her revenge for making her mistake Pinkie with cotton candy, and causing everypony to laugh at her. But she didn't needed to do this. Just a simple little prank would do it, but not shrinking her into bug size. Last time that happened to her, she found herself swallowed by Derpy. Well, fortunaly Twilight's teleportation spell saved her, but she doubted that Twilight could make her grow back to her normal size. And after that, she'd have a short talk with Rainbow.
Rainbow started to giggle upon seeing Engineer not finding Applejack at anywhere. Well, that's after she realized that not even her herself could find the orange pony. 'Uh oh, I think I exxagerated on this...' , she thought. She decided to fly as fast as she could to town. The only ponies that she had in mind that could help them were Lyra, Octavia and Vinyl. Mainly because those three were the ones who first helped to find Applejack when she had shrank.
Applejack decided to hop on Engineer to use him as a ride. Unfortunaly, she had trouble climbing on his leg, and he didn't even seemed to notice that she had hopped onto his leg. She tried her best to climb up, but she simply slid down. She had to stay at that position.
Engineer decided to warn the other ponies and Pyro about that happening. Surely things could get out of hand - or hoof - if no help was to be brought. He started to head to the center of Ponyville.
Rainbow was alterady soaring the skies of Ponyville looking for the three ponies. That's when it hit her: She had no idea where the three were. She decided to check for the theater, as it was most likely that Octavia was praticing there. She would probably help her to find Vinyl, and then only Lyra would be a problem to find.
However, as soon as she looked at the windows, she found out that all the three ponies she was looking for were alterady there. Well, that made her job a lot easier. She quickly barged into the room.
"Lyra! Vinyl! Octavia! I need hel-", she said. Unfortunaly, she entered in the same moment that Pyro was playing with his Third Degree. As soon as he finished playing it, a shockwave came out of it, going upwards, and hitting Dash, knocking her backwards and into the floor. She could hear Pyro cheering, followed by a loud 'THUD' sound.
"What the hay was that?!", asked Lyra.
"I don't know, but it was cool! Do it again!", replied Vinyl. Octavia rolled her eyes. Pyro did an innocent whistle as Dash got back on her hooves.
"Doesn't matters! I decided to prank Applejack while hardhat was gone with some Poison Joke again, and she disappeared, like the other time!", she said.
"Ugh, Dash, haven't we told you like one hundred times that you shouldn't use those Jokes?", said Octavia.
"Yeah, but she pranked me yet again just before hardhat and mask came, and I decided to give revenge on her, and she
"Alright, let's go look for her.", said Lyra, as the foursome quickly left, leaving the RED Pyro alone on the room.
They left the threater and turned to the left, before meeting with a confused Engineer((and they didn't even noticed Pyro leaving the theater shortly after that)).
"Hey, have any of ya seen Applejack?", asked Engineer.
"No, we're looking for her, as Rainbow wanted to trick her with some Poison Joke, and apparently things got out of hoof, and now, she is gone.", explained Octavia.
Applejack was now sure that it was Rainbow who put her into this mess. But unfortunaly, she couldn't climb into Engineer's neck, so she couldn't tell him that she was riding him.
"Damnit! Now we have to delay our uranium search! I just hope that my 'teammates' are doing good defending mah base.....anyway, do ya know anyo- I mean, anypony who can help us?", asked Engineer.
"Oh, I think Rarity can help us!", replied Lyra.
"Well, off to Rarity's shop!", said Vinyl.
Moments later...
The fivesome started to run at Rarity's shop. Little did Engineer, along with the four other ponies, notice that Applejack had dislocated from behind Engineer's right leg and towards the front of his knee, thinking that it would make it easier to climb. True to her thoughts, it was, but she was at a bigger danger.
"RARITY!!!", screamed Rainbow.
Engineer's sudden stop made Applejack be sent flying all the way, before landing on a cup of hot tea. Not a pleasant experience. It felt like she was launched straightly into lava, except that it didn't 1-hit killed her. Still, it was burning hot.
"What happened, Rainbow?", asked Rarity.
However, all she could decypher from Rainbow's fast talking was 'Applejack', 'Disappear', 'Engineer' and 'Poison Joke'.
"Oh, hang on, try to calm yourself! Here, have some tea, to calm yourself.", she said. Rainbow Dash started to drink the hot tea. Little did she knew that she didn't drank only tea, she drank aswell the missing earth pony.
"This tea seems to be a bit off. I mean, I felt a salty-feel on this tea. Did you inserted some salt?", asked Rainbow.
"Rainbow, my dear, this is not time to talk about tea, just explain straightly!", said Octavia.
"Right, right. Anyway, I decided to prank Applejack to have revenge to that last thing she did earlier, but she disappeared without Engineer noticing it. I knew that the Poison Joke caused her to shrink, but I expected her to be shrank to atleast the size of a bug, not to become completely microscopic!", she explained.
"Well, we have trouble here. Hmm, does any of you happens to be a detective?", asked Rarity.
"I am.", a voice said.
It quickly revealed to be the Engineer wearing a detective hat and a fancy cigarrete. That made up the 'Eliminating the Impossible' item set. It made the wearer solve mysteries a lot faster. Although, noone other than Demoman, Engineer, Medic and Spy knew about this thing.
"I do like your visual, but how is it supposed to help us finding Applejack?", asked Rarity, obviously dumbfounded.
"Heh, it's a mistake mostly everyone from my team makes. Well, as you see, I'm wearing the 'Eliminating the Impossible' set, and it makes you solve problems a lot faster.", said Engineer, persisting with his sudden voice change. "If you please, we have a missing damsel to find.", he continued.
"Boy, oh boy, this will get interesting!", commented Vinyl as she followed the detective. Little did they knew that the missing pony was just less than five meters away from them.
"Ugh, now if it wasn't enough, I am now stuck inside her gullet.", commented Applejack, as she hopped into a piece of hay that Rainbow ate earlier.
Rainbow's stomach made a loud gurgle, almost like it had answered her.
"Wow, I never expected her stomach to make such a loud noise."
It gurgled even more, like it was alive.
"...It looks like it is answering me...", she said.
Again, the stomach gurgled, but this time it seemed a lot like it replied.
"I DO TALK, YOU INCOMPETENT MEAL!", the stomach 'proclaimed'.
"OH MY! Am I going insane, or you actually talk?", she answered.
"WELL, FOR PART, I COULD BE PART OF YOUR IMAGINATION, BUT I CAN ACTUALLY KIND OF TALK BY DOING SO IN THE LIVING THING'S MIND.", it 'answered.'. Well, atleast she found 'something' to talk with.
"Uhh, could you not digest me? I'm 'friends' with the pony who ate me.", said Applejack.
"NOT DIGEST YOU? HAH! IF I DIDN'T, I WOULD BE BREAKING MY ROLE. I AM HERE TO DIGEST YOU. YOU'RE MEAL, YOU WERE BORN TO BE DIGESTED. REGARLESS IF YOU'RE FRIENDS OR NOT WITH THE POWERS THAT BE. BESIDES, IF SHE ATE YOU, HOW IS SHE TECHNICALLY YOUR FRIEND?!", it gurgled.
"It was by an accident...and if you don't know, 'The Powers that Be' haves a name, and it's 'Rainbow Dash'.", said the earth pony, obviously annoyed. "Anyway, I tricked her into believing that Pinkie was some cotton candy, and technically everypony laughed at her. Then she decided to give revenge against me by shrinking me, but something went terribly wrong, and she accidentally swallowed me!", she continued.
"HMMM, I UNDERSTAND YOU. STILL, IF I DIDN'T DIGESTED YOU, I WOULD BE UNLOYAL TO THE INTESTINES, AND, YOU SEE, THE POWERS THA- I MEAN, RAINBOW DASH'S ELEMENT IS LOYALITY, RIGHT? WELL, I KINDA ACT EXACTLY LIKE HER, SO, I MUST BE LOYAL TO THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM.", defended the talking stomach. However, before Applejack could even answer, she felt a rumble and everything shaking, and the hay she had been stepping on moved towards the stomach walls.
"Whoa! What the hay was that?!", questioned the farmer pony.
"THAT WAS THE POW- I MEAN, RAINBOW MOVING. YOU'D BETTER GET USED TO IT, AS YOU WILL BE HERE FOR A LOONG TIME. THAT IS, IF I DON'T HAPPEN TO DIGEST YOU FIRST. HEH HEH.", gurgled the stomach. Applejack shook her head. Maybe she was starting to go insane as she was swallowed alive again. She had promised to herself not to be swallowed ever again since when she was eaten by Derpy.
"Y'know, I think I am just going insane. I will just ignore you, you're just my panicked mind thinking that I will die.", said the pony, trying to mantain her self-esteem up.
"TRY AS YOU MIGHT, FOR YOU'RE NOT GOING INSANE, AND THIS IS THE PURE TRUTH. YOU'RE NOT GETTING OUT.", said the stomach.
Engineer and the rest were at the last place Applejack was last seen. Engy had withdrawn a scope, and was searching the ground.
"So, have you found something yet?", asked the blue pegasus, who was tapping her foot impatiently. She, just like her stomach, wanted things to be done quickly.
"Quiet, Rainbow. You are disturbing his job!" , said Rarity.
"Well, I have found a trail of blue, non-glowing dust that led from here to Ponyville.", said Engineer. "Follow me. I suppose that if we follow this trail, we might find the pesky pony.", he continued as he started following the trail, and the ponies followed him.
After what seemed to be some good minutes of walking, the dust ended up in Rarity's shop.
"Strange...the trail seemed to follow where I have been.....but I don' reckon entering deep into the store...", said Engineer as he followed the trail. "Well, the trail seems t'end here.....wait. I remember that I saw that this is where a cup of tea was.", he continued. He got out of his scope, then faced Rarity.
"Ms. Rarity, could ya give me the cup you used to give tea to Ms. Dash?", he asked. The pony nodded slowly, then levitated the cup over to Engineer. He examinated it with his scope. As he expected, the cup had the dust.
"I think I know what happened.", Engineer said.
"What?", asked the four ponies.
"Applejack has shrunk and rode my leg. When we reached the store, I did a brutal stop, an' she was launched to the cup o' tea. After that, well.....", he explained.
"Well?", asked Rainbow, raising an eyebrow.
"Ms. Dash drank her along the tea. The ponies wore a shocked expression.
"Oh, not again.", said Octavia.
Vinyl approached Rainbow's belly.
"Hey, AJ, can ya hear me?" , she shouted.
Applejack couldn't handle the stomach's mockery anymore. While it was something to pass the time, he was very rude and unsociable, almost like Discord. However, her thoughts were stopped by a faint voice.
"Hey, AJ, can ya hear me?"
"What was that?", questioned Applejack.
"I DON'T KNOW. PERHAPS ONE OF YOUR BELOVED 'FRIENDS' IS HERE TO RESCUE YOU, HMM?", said the stomach. She rolled her eyes, before screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Vinyl? Is that you? I'm trapped here!! Help me! I don' think I'll survive for too long!! And I think I'm going crazy!" , screamed the pony.
The five stood there, expecting for an answer. Just as Rainbow was going to say "Well?, they heard something faintly speak up, and apparently, it was comming from Dash's gut.
"Vinyl? Is that you?! I'm trapped here! Help me! I don't think I'll survive for too long! And I think I'm going crazy!"
"Quick! Do any of ya know somepony who can get her outta of this mess?", asked Engineer.
"Well, I think Twilight can get her outta this mess.", said Lyra.
"Quick! To the library!", yelled Engineer as the five ran towards Twilight's library.
"Wait! Ain't one of ya's gonna help me out? Hey! HEY!!", screamed Applejack. Yep, her only friendly source of talking had vanished.
"WOW, YOUR FRIENDS ARE SURE LOVELY!", mocked the stomach.
"Shut up! I bet they're figuring out a way to get me out of this mess!", she said. Suddently, she felt the rumble again.
"See?", she said as she held tightly the hay. Unfortunaly, it started to shake, and to sink. "Nonononono! Please, don't digest me yet!", she begged.
"I'M SORRY, BUT I'M AFRAID THIS IS YOUR DESTINITY."
Meanwhile, in Twilight's library, also where Part 8 left us...
"Wow.....that was....", slowly said Spike. He was interrupted as he saw Rainbow, Lyra, Vinyl, Octavia, Rarity and Engineer burst into the room.
"We need help!!", screamed Rainbow.
"With what?", asked Twilight.
"Rainbow 'accidentally' swallowed Applejack again.", explained Octavia.
"Oh, not again. Okay, let me focus.", said the purple unicorn, as her horn started to glow. The purple glow started to reach to Rainbow's stomach, but, as soon as it reached it, Twilight fell back.
"What happened?", asked Rarity.
"I think I accidentally gave Pyro too much magic when he asked me to do it.", explained Twilight.
Pyro started to feel guilty. Now, either the ninesome would do something about it, or Rainbow Dash would digest Applejack, or Applejack would grow back to her normal size, thus killing Rainbow Dash. Suddently, Pyro had an idea. That idea could cost his life, though.
"Phudda dipenza heah!", mumbled the Pyro, sounding almost like the Scout.
"Pyro, is that really the time to mimick Sco-", said Engineer, before being interrupted by Pyro.
"Oove! Oove up! Oove up!", Pyro said as he shook his hand wildly. Engineer stared at a few seconds, and decided to go in Pyro's flow. He set in a dispenser. Pyro walked to it's tray, and pulled a string. He attached the string to himself, then pointed at him, then at Rainbow's mouth.
"You mean I should swallow you?!", asked the dumbfounded Rainbow.
"Uh-huh.", Pyro mumbled as he nodded.
"Obviously, Pyro cannot fit inside her. Do any of ya know a shrink spell?", asked Engie.
"Well, I know somepony who knows that spell.", said Twilight.
Applejack tried to stand on the parts that were not submerged in acid from the hay. Eventually, she jumped to another piece of hay, and watched as the other piece sank.
"Well, that was close.", she said. Suddently, she felt the hay piece she was on to rumble, and started to sink. She jumped at another one, which then started to sink aswell.
"HAH HAH, IT'S VERY FUNNY TO SEE YOU HOPPING AROUND LIKE CRAZY! OH WOW, I'D SURE LIKE FOR RAINBOW TO SWALLOW SOME POPCORN SO I COULD DIGEST THEM AS I SEE YOU DESESPERATEDLY TRYING NOT TO BE DIGESTED ASWELL."
"Just stop laughing, and help me!", she said.
"HELP YOU? OKAY, STAND STILL, I'LL GRAB YOU. OH WAIT, RIGHT, I HAVE NO HANDS. IT'S ALL UP TO YOURSELF!", continued the agressive stomach, as the last hay piece started to sink. Applejack closed her eyes, thinking that this was her doom. Well, that's until she heard a muffled voice.
"Hudda? Hudda huh!", a voice stated. She quickly opened her eyes, and couldn't believe at what she saw.
"PYRO?!?!" , she gasped. Apparently, the gas-masked salamander had came to save her. He quickly grabbed her, and watched as that last bit of hay sank into the acid. Pyro tugged the string of the dispenser, which eventually started to be pushed.
"Whew, Pyro. Thanks fer savin' me. I didn't knew how much longer I could stand here.", she said. Pyro was about to nod, upon he heard...the stomach talking?! Apparently, it wasn't Applejack going crazy.
"OH NO, YOU WON'T LEAVE THERE JUST YET!", said the stomach as he quickly sharpened the gate between the stomach and the throat, and the two hit a piece of flesh just next it.
"Oh, darn. Push harder, ponies! We gotta save 'em!", Engineer said, as he found something preventing him from pushing.

Part 10: Rise of the Apocalypse
"Puuush!", the sevensome yelled. Pushing the wire were Engineer, Lyra, Vinyl, Octavia, Twilight, Spike, and another pony called 'Deasley', who shrunk Pyro to the size of a dot.
Pyro and Applejack started to slide around the hole that led out of the stomach. Apparently, just like the pony herself, the stomach was competitive, it really disliked when meal tried to escape.
"TRY AS YOU MIGHT, FOR I AM NOT LETTING YOU OUT.", he gurgled. Pyro took that as a challenge. He switched places with Applejack, and then started to climb his way towards the hole, that shrank, and shrank, until it was at the smallest size possible, not allowing for Pyro and Applejack to climb out. Unfortunaly for the stomach, it also meant that it would slowly suffocate Rainbow, so he had to open the gap a little. Fortunaly, he opened it a little too much, and before he could close it, the two alterady climbed towards the throat.
"OH CRAP, THEY MADE IT OUT OF ME! THROAT, IT IS NOW UP TO YOU!", yelled the stomach.
The throat started to tighten up in space, making it very rough to climb up. Not to mention that it was filled with saliva, causing the two to slide a little. Downwards was a lot easier. Upwards will be very rough. The two started to make their rough way up through the tight throat, only to slide backwards again by the execcive saliva. The place was burning hot, but Pyro could easily withstand that. He did his best to keep climbing, but it only slid him downwards. He then tingled the rope again, which caused it to pull him again. Unfortunaly, that caused a reaction with Rainbow. She started to cough, and, while it proppeled them upwards, she couldn't resist to swallow some saliva, causing them to become even more slidy. Pyro could hear they faintly arguing with Rainbow for her not to swallow anything, then continued to push him. He then finally reached the mouth, where she started to cough like crazy, and ended up spitting the two.
"He did it!", a voice said.
Pyro woke up to find himself out of the dreaded hell that was located just inside somepony's body. He got up, and was met with a very large brown-coated leg. He looked up, and found a massive pony!
Until Pyro realized that it was just him who was at a nearly-microscopic size. That pony's horn started to glow, and it targeted both Pyro and Applejack, and the two grew back to their respective sizes.
"Nice job, Pyro!", said Engineer.
"Fhank you.", Pyro answered as he gave a thumbs-up to Engie.
"Also, thanks for yer help, Deasley.", continued Engineer.
"No problem! I'm alyways here to help.", said the unicorn.
Pyro cheered by lifting his Third Degree on the air.
"Well, should we get a well-deserved meal for managing to do this?", asked Twilight. Suddently, Pinkie barged on the room.
"Oh! Oh! I know just the place! C'mon, let's go to the Sugarcube Corner! We can get cupcakes here, maybe even ones made by fire! Oh wait, they don't make fire cupcakes. But they could do it! We could use them to play fireballs! Oh! It could be a nice game, too! Fireballs! I should make a big party celebratin-", she said before Rainbow placed her hoof on Pinkie's mouth, although she could still be heard muffling from behind the hoof.
"Well, I suppose a cupcake should do.", suggested Engineer.
And with that, the elevensome headed out.
Meanwhile...
Trixie had finally managed to rebuild the burned city. Wow, it sure took long, but atleast she could get her revenge. She knew the exact same creature who was ready for duty. She headed off to the Crystal Caves.
She had finally arrived at the caves, and the thing she was looking for was standing right there: Frozen, covered in stone. Her horn lighted up, then fired a beam on the statue, which caused it to slowly crack. As soon as it finally finished cracking, the creature started screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" , before Trixie slapped his cheek.
"Ouch! What was that for? And where are the troublesome ponies who were just firing that friendship laser at me?", it asked.
"Ugh. Don't you remember? They had banished you a long time ago, Discord. I am here because I want you to do something for me.", she said.
"And why should I?", answered Discord.
"Because I will help you take control of this world.", said Trixie. A smile crept up on Discord's face, who started rubbing his hands.
"I'm in. What you need help with?", he asked.
"I need you to take care of those two creatures....", she said as she levitated two photos; one of Pyro, another of Engineer. "....and to take care about a certain pony who managed to break your plan and defeat you.", she continued, obviously mentioning Twilight. "Deal?"
"Deal."
The two shook their hands/hooves.

Chapter 2: Land of Craze
The eleven were walking towards the Sugarcube Corner, and then two creatures formerly known as Trixie and Discord appeared.
"Oh no not you again"
"WHY YES, I HAVE RETURNED! NOW THIS LAND WILL TURN INTO A LAND OF RANDO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-DO-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" , everypony screamed, until Engineer's face suddently crashed through a wall.
"Bacon! Ba-ba-ba-ba-bacon! Wheeee-bacon! Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba", he said, shortly after his face being covered in the Blue Screen of Death.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" , everypony screamed again, before their faces got BSoD'ed.
Hey! This is not right, either. CUT!!
Chapter 2: Land of Craze - Take 3
"OH MAH GAWD, ITS WEE-GEE!", Engineer screamed on the top of his lungs.
Everypony started screaming and running around Ponyville like crazy.
"Obey WEEGEE! Must destroy MARIO!", Weegee said.
HEY!! This story wasn't meant to feature Mario, either! CUT AGAIN!!
Chapter 2: Land of Craze - Take 156.414.854.168
The ponies, alongside Pyro and Engineer, were walking towards the Sugarcube Corner. Suddently, Discord fell from the sky. How? I don't know! I just crapped that out.
"DISCORD?!?! I thought we banished you some years ago!", Twilight exclaimed.
"Well, well, one of the ponies happened to free me from my stone form. And now, I am back alive, breathing.", Discord explained, with a smirk on his face. However, before the Elements could react, he caught their badges. Again, I HAVE NO IDEA! On how he did that, neither why they were taking those with them. *Shrugs*
"HEY! Give those back to us!", yelled Rainbow.
"Now, now. I have something to give to hardhat.", he said.
"What do you want, creature?", asked Engineer. Before anything, Discord pulled a plate with a big piece of meat. While most of the ponies almost vomited((and Pyro not caring about the meat)), Engineer opened his mouth.
"Heh, isn't it amazing? Such a suculent piece of meat....", continued Discord.
"No! Put that away! I don' want to become....ugh, Vagineer again.", said Engineer as he looked away from tthe meat.
"Aww, too bad you don't want to share it with me. It tastes so delicious....such a nice piece of fabric, comming from one of the best meat-making industries.....", he continued. Engineer started to twitch. He looked back at the plate. His mouth started to become more open, and more open.....
And Vagineer was revived. ~~And Christian Brutal Sniper died. The end~~~
"HAIMALOOO!", yelled Vagineer. Pyro and the other ponies backed away from him.
"Nhoooo!", Pyro mumbled.
"Now, I have a present for the gas mask, too.", continued Discord. Pyro turned to him. Discord was holding a bag of Poison Joke.
"Oh no.....", quietly said Lyra.
Before any reaction was done, Discord threw the Poison Joke on Pyro, who started to grow uncontrollably. The Poison Joke's effect on Pyro was to cause him to grow to a size comparable to Godzilla's((MAYBE EVEN BIGGER! OHMYGODPYROWILLDESTROYEQUESTRIA!!)), AND erase his memory for the duration of the effect. However, the Poison Joke also had a MUCH longer effect on Pyro, only expiring it's effects after three months. So, yeah, after that incident, Discord and Trixie took government of Ponyville, and were planning to take control of the whole Equestria, and to do that, they would need also the help of Nightmare Moon and Queen Chrysalis. Unfortunaly, with Pyro and Engineer on Trixie and Discord's side, and with the Elements of Harmony being held hostage, there's nothing much to do. ~~AND THEN EQUESTRIA WAS TAKEN BY THOSE SIX, AND BECAME A LAND OF CHRONIC AND SUSTAINED CRUELTY, BEFORE THE SIX STARTED TO FIGHT AMONGST THEMSELVES TO BE THE REAL RULER OF EQUESTRIA, AND ENDED UP KILLING THEMSELVES. THE RED TEAM ALSO LOST TO BLU TEAM AND WERE SCOLDED BY THE ANNOUNCER AND MANN CO., THEN LATER GRAY MANN SENT A HORDE OF RED ROBOTS TO THE BLU BASE AND THEN HE SENT THE ROBOTS TO EQUESTRIA, AND EQUESTRIA WAS BLOWN TO BITS. THE END. KTHXBAI~~

The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Three weeks later, on Ponyville's town hall...
"Hah! Conquering this defenseless town was a piece of cake, don't you think, Trixie?", Discord commented.
"Yes, specially with the help of Vagineer and Über Pyro.", answered Trixie.
"Grrrr.", Vagineer growled as he pointed towards the meat.
"Uh, you mean you want to eat the meat?", Discord asked. Vagineer answered by nodding. "Uhh, we told you like one hundred times that we would give you the meat next weekend!", he lied.
"Skeew tsal dias uoy tahw s'taht!", Vagineer answered.
"Uh, what did he said?", Discord asked to Trixie.
"Methinks he said that you told him that the last three weeks.", Trixie answered.
"I promise we will give it to you next, uh, weekend.", Discord answered to Vagineer. The latter simply grunted as a response and walked away.
"Hey, why are you avoiding to give him the meat?", Trixie asked. She was pushed into a dark room by Discord. She used her magic to lit up the room.
"Don't you know? We only transformed him into Vagineer because we're making him hungry. We then get to keep him in that form by getting him hungrier and hungrier while not feeding him. Each time he gets hungrier, he gets stronger. However, if he kills his hunger, he transforms back into his normal self! That's why we need to avoid him from eating." , he quietly said.
"But we still got Über Pyro on our side." , she replied.
"Yes, I know this. But the Poison Joke's effect is limited. In Pyro's case, his huge form will end next week." , he answered.
"Get another Poison Joke, then?" , she persisted.
"Have you forgotten that Poison Joke gives random effects? We were lucky that this one transformed him into his huge-brainwashed state. Who knows, the next Poison Joke might give him Godlike powers, and he might finish us in a split second!" , he replied.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll try to keep Vagineer away from the meat, ok?" , she offered.
"Ok, good."
Meanwhile, under the Ponyville town hall that most likely didn't existed three weeks ago(lol im so witty and skilled and look at me)...
Ponyville Town Hall's underground sections were a new implementation to the building(bet u didnt new dat lolololo). It was made of dull gray cement bricks with an even more dull gray paint. On top of all, there were many jail cells scattered around it. Although there were 9 cells, only 1 had prisoners in. The prisoners were the six Elements of Harmony.
"Wow, this is sooooo boring...", Dash commented as she made her 12.930th lap around the cell.
"Dash, could ya stop flyin' 'round the cell? It's makin' me dizzy.", scolded Applejack.
"Your problem. Why are you even looking at me?", replied Dash.
"How can we even not see ya?", Applejack said.
"By closing your eyes and sleeping!", Dash answered.
"We cannot sleep with the loud sound you're making, Rainbow Crash.", Rarity said.
"What did you called me?", Dash said as she went face-to-face with Rarity.
"Rainbow CRASH.", replied Applejack.
"Nopony calls me Rainbow Crash. NOPONY!", Dash yelled.
"Yeah! I thought that this was just a silly nickname for that three pegasi on Cloudsdale, but I see that you two decided to become the bullies now.", Twilight interjected.
"Calling names is not fun!", Pinkie commented, with her mane flat.
"And what are you gonna do, Spitty Pie ?", replied Rarity.
"Um, girls?" , quietly said Fluttershy. The five kept arguing. "Girls?" , she once again tried. The five didn't even seemed to notice her. She looked around, and found what was happening. Chips of unharmony were placed on the six ponies. However, Fluttershy's Kindness element was too strong for the chip to 'unharmonize' her. She yanked the chip out of her head. "Uh, girls, there's unharmony chips strapped on you all! Take it off!" , she once again tried, but they ignored her yet again. She had no choice other than take it by force. She quickly leaped on top of Twilight.
"Hey! What are you doing?", Twilight screamed as she found herself being tackled by the yellow pegasus. She quickly yanked out the chip, making Twilight regain her senses.
"Huh, wha- Fluttershy, what are you doing on top of me?", she asked. However, before Fluttershy could answer, Rarity broke in.
"She's tackling you because of course she thinks there's a valid reason to call Dash 'Rainbow Crash'! Way to go, Fluttershy!", she said.
"Huh? What in Equestria are you talking about?", Twilight asked.
"Oh! Twilight, Discord has placed unharmony chips on all of us. I had to take it out of you in order for you to regain your senses.", Fluttershy explained.
"What ya mean? Of course there's no 'unharmony' chips on us!", Applejack said, shortly before making her infamous 'I lied' face(You know what I mean if you watched "The Return of Harmony - Part 1" and "A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2").
"You know what she is talking about.", Twilight answered as she used her magic to take out the chips from the four ponies.
"Huh, wha? Hey, where are we?", Dash asked.
"You see, when Discord and Trixie transformed Engineer into Vagineer and Pyro into Über Pyro, they locked us into those cells. How they got the unharmony chips I don't know." , Fluttershy explained.
"Well, that makes sense. But how are we even going to find the key to unlock the cell?", Rarity asked.
"Well, I guess it's the time to use my new spell.", Twilight answered.
"How that spell will help us?", Dash asked.
"Well, it allows us to hear things that are normally not possible for us to listen. I'm going to use it with Trixie and Discord to see if they hint where the key is.", Twilight explained. She readied the spell, causing her horn to glow in the usual purple color. After enough focusing, the six could hear Discord's, Trixie's and Vagineer's voices.
"Hah! Conquering this defenseless town was a piece of cake, don't you think, Trixie?", Discord commented.
"Yes, specially with the help of Vagineer and Über Pyro.", answered Trixie.
"Grrrr.", Vagineer growled.
"Uh, you mean you want to eat the meat?", Discord asked. "Uhh, we told you like one hundred times that we would give you the meat next weekend!", he lied.
"Skeew tsal dias uoy tahw s'taht!", Vagineer answered.
"Uh, what did he said?", Discord asked to Trixie.
"Methinks he said that you told him that the last three weeks.", Trixie answered.
"I promise we will give it to you next, uh, weekend.", Discord answered to Vagineer. The latter simply grunted as a response.
"Well, no key locations, Twilight. Your spell didn't helped us.", Dash commented.
"Shhh! They're saying more!", Twilight replied.
"Hey, why are you avoiding to give him the meat?", Trixie asked. The sound of shoving was heard, followed by the sound of magic being executed.
"Don't you know? We only transformed him into Vagineer because we're making him hungry. We then get to keep him in that form by getting him hungrier and hungrier while not feeding him. Each time he gets hungrier, he gets stronger. However, if he kills his hunger, he transforms back into his normal self! That's why we need to avoid him from eating.", he quietly said.
"But we still got Über Pyro on our side.", she replied.
"Yes, I know this. But the Poison Joke's effect is limited. In Pyro's case, his huge form will end next week.", he answered.
"Get another Poison Joke, then?", she persisted.
"Have you forgotten that Poison Joke gives random effects? We were lucky that this one transformed him into his huge-brainwashed state. Who knows, the next Poison Joke might give him Godlike powers, and he might finish us in a split second!", he replied.
"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll try to keep Vagineer away from the meat, ok?", she offered.
"Ok, good.", Discord answered.
"Well, the spell helped us to find how to stop Vagineer and a secret about Über Pyro, but still doesn't helps us to find the key.", Rarity commented.
"Oh! Oh! I found it! Its within this toilet!", Pinkie said.
"Why in tarnation would they hide a key in a toilet?", Applejack asked.
"Well, probably because they thought that we wouldn't find it there. But Pinkie's randomness managed to discover it's hidden location.", Twilight answered as she levitated the goo-covered key towards the lock. She undid it, allowing the six to escape. "Now c'mon, we have a monster to de-transform!", she continued as she and the other five rushed upstairs.
Upstairs...
"Alright, Vagineer. You heard Discord earlier. You are not touching this meat until the weekend. Understood?", Trixie barked.
"Semoc dnekeew nehw esucxe sih ees ot regae m'i.", Vagineer replied.
"There won't be an excuse, because obviously you'll get it.
"Ees ll'ew.", Vagineer replied. However, before Trixie could answer, the six elements appeared just behind her. Vagineer tilted his head.
"Trixie, give him the meat and we'll see if we can let this go.", Twilight ordered.
"You think it will be that easy? Ha! No way the Great and Powerful Trixie will give in that easily!", Trixie answered as she turned aroudn to face the six.
"Face it, coward. We're six and you're only one!", Dash said.
"Ha! Have you failed to realize that I am allied with a great monster?", Trixie replied. "Behold! The power of the Great and Powerful...", she continued as she turned around to find a Vagineer brutally massacring the poor meat with his distorched mouth(if that is even a mouth...*snort**snort*). "...Vagineer?", she finished her phrase.
"Em deef ot gnidiova erew yeht yhw s'taht! Gniknirhs s'ti, ho! Egnarts os gnileef htuom ym si yhw, huh? Taem detnaw-gnol eht tae ot tog I! Yllanif!", Vagineer growled as his deformed head shrank and shrank until he became Engineer again.
"Huh? Where the blazes am I? Last thing I remember was that hoss throwin' some kind of blue powder at me.", Engineer said.
"When the powder came in contact with you, you became a horrendous monster called Vagineer.", Twilight explained.
"Va-Vagineer? Aw hell, not again.", he continued.
"Enough chit-chat! Trixie's gone!", Applejack said as she pointed to where Trixie was.
"CHASE HER!", Dash yelled as the seven ran down the hall. They could briefly see Trixie's forehoof running into another place.
Eventually, Trixie managed to get to the roof of the building, where she found Discord.
"Let me guess: Vagineer transformed back into Engineer, right?", Discord asked.
"Yes...", Trixie answered.
"I knew it. I knew he would turn back one way or another.", he continued.
"Y'are right, pardners!", a familiar voice sounded from behind. The two turned around to find Engineer, who was pointing a Pistol at Discord's head. "Stop all this nonsense and turn Pyro back t'normal, or else, wave bye-bye to the world.", he continued.
"No way I'm stopping. I don't give up that easily, cowboy.", Discord replied. Engineer frowned and placed his pointer finger at the trigger.
"Well, then, see ya later!", Engineer replied as he pressed the trigger. Everyone but Engineer closed their eyes. As soon as they opened their eyes, however, they found that the bullet was being held in place by Trixie's magic. Once she noticed this, she took it to her advantage, turned the bullet around, and launched it with strength at Engineer's forehead, causing him to fall to the ground shortly before letting a short mumble.
"Oh god!", Fluttershy shrieked as she covered her eyes with her hooves.
"Well, I guess we are done with you. We will now gather some of the other antagonists, and Equestria should be a land of total chaos!", Discord yelled as he and Trixie disappeared in thin air.
"Oh no...", some of the ponies mumbled as they saw the smart human collapsed on the floor.
"Everypony, carry him to the hospital!", Twilight said as the six started carrying him towards the Ponyville hospital.

The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 13: Awakening, Part 1
"Engineer....", a voice called out.
"Ugh....", Engineer groaned.
"Engineer....", the voice repeated.
"Five more minutes....", he answered.
"Engineer!" , the voice shouted.
"Alright, alright, I'm up!", he said as he opened his eyes, only to cover them as he was met with blinding light.
"Argh! His eyes are still unprepared for ze blinding light.", the voice continued, but this time with a German accent that sounded familiar.
"Hang on...I reckon I know this voice. Medic?", he asked.
"Ja, I'm Medic.", the voice answered.
"Where am I? What happened? Where's Pyro?", Engineer asked again.
"Well, since ze enemy Demoman blew your Sentry to bits, you had blacked out. Pyro unfortunaly wasn't able to prevent ze BLU team from capturing our point, although he managed to bring you back to our respawn. Pyro's over zhere.", Medic explained, while pointing at Pyro sitting on a bench on the other side of the Resupply room. Pyro waved towards Engineer as a response.
"So, that world I've been livin' in was fake?", he coninued.
"That one with talking coloring horses? Yes, I suppose.", Medic replied.
"Damnit. Hang on, pardner. How did ya knew that I was dreamin' that?", Engineer said, while eyeing Medic suspiciously. However, before Medic could answer, he noticed his right hand wasn't gloved. "What the... hey, shouldn't my right hand be gloved?", he continued.
"What do you mean, Engineer? We all knew that you only gloved your left hand, not your right one.", Medic replied. "Speaking about your left hand, it seems that it had been severely injuried on ze explosion of your Sentry. We had to replace it with one of your prototypes, ze Gunslinger.", he coontinued. Engineer looked at his left hand, and true to Medic's word, it was replaced by a robotic hand. Although, there was something funny in it that Engineer couldn't see.
"Alright. But what do ya mean by 'we'? I thought ya were the only medic on our team.", Engineer continued, proceeding to stare deep into Medic again.
"Scout's sister, of course! She's my new assistant!", Medic replied. Engineer was about to question, before he saw a Scout look-a-like talking with Pyro. Oddly enough, Engineer noticed that Pyro seemed to have a crush on her, despite some days earlier he quietly mumbling to him that she was all speed and no power, almost like the Scout from their team.
"Aalright, I suppose me and Pyro should head back to the battle, then?", Engineer continued, not taking his eyes away from Pyro and the female Scout.
"Yes. We are managing to hold ze last point, but I don't think we can hold it much longer. Now go!", Medic replied.
Pyro waved off to the female Scout, and walked out along with Engineer. The latter was very suspicious of what was happening. First, how could Medic know what dream he was having? Second, he had been on the war for 52 days, and he was 100% sure that all of the times he swung his wrench, he saw his glove at his right hand, not left. Third, Medic noted that he didn't wanted to have any assistants and that he could have the entire team overhealed all by himself. And oddly enough, Pyro didn't even seemed to care. Engineer just sat on a nearby hay pile, pulled his toolbox, and proceeded to plant his Mini-Sentry. And something even oddlier happened: Instead of a Mini-Sentry proceeding to build, like how the Gunslinger was progammed to do, the normal Sentry Gun popped out.
"What the hell?!", Engineer thought out loud. Something was definitely wrong there. But he decided to think that the Minisentry would only appear if it was on his right hand. He shrugged it off, and pulled a Sandvich and a large bottle of scrumpy out of his toolbox.
"That's what ya get!", he mockingly said to a dead BLU Pyro that his Sentry killed. He proceeded to chug the scrumpy, only to realize that it was tasteless.
"Okay, something is really wrong.", he mumbled. He tried to bite on his sandvich, only to realize that it also was tasteless. He mentally cursed as he placed both the sandvich and the scrumpy back on the toolbox. He turned to his Sentry, only to find it facing him. "Huh? Why are ya facin' me?", he asked to his mechanical device. He didn't expected an answer, however, the Sentry turned to a billboard he had never seen before on a nearby cliff. The billboard said 'WAKE UP'. A chill went down Engineer's spine. He shook his head, and found out that the battlefield was completely empty, not to mention the sky was greenish and was emitting a green hue to the world below. "What the...", Engineer mumbled.
"None of this is real.", a robotic voice sounded. Engineer looked around, but noone was found. "This is a dream.", the voice repeated. Engineer found out that it was comming from his Sentry Gun. "Please wake up. You don't have much time.", it continued.
"Hang on, so my time in Equestria was actually true?", Engineer asked.
"Yes. That bullet put you into a coma. You have to wake up.", the Sentry answered.
"How?", Engineer asked again.
"You have to defeat him.", the Sentry replied.
"Defeat him? Defeat who?", he continued.
"I don't have much time. You need to defeat the monster who lives in your mind.", continued the Firing Device. However, before Engineer could ask once again, the Sentry stopped looking towards him, and proceeded to shut down. 3 seconds later, it exploded in a small explosion.
"Damnit!", Engineer cursed as he covered himself from the explosion. "Alright. I have to stop this.", he continued as he got up, and started walking to the Control Point #3.

The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
"Doctor, is he alright?", Twilight asked.
"Well, the bullet hit him in the forehead, a fate that's not too dangerous given to his strength. However, the bullet was encased in chaos magic, causing the bullet to crash through his skull, and damaging a part of his brain, causing him to end in a coma.", the Doctor replied.
"Is there a chance that he will wake up? ", quietly asked Fluttershy.
"His state seems to be 'frozen'. He isn't dying, but at the same time he isn't recovering. But don't worry. Our specialists will make sure that he will be healthy in no time.", answered the Doctor.
"Well, we have to deal with the oversized Pyro aswell. Since Engie isn't dying, I guess it gives us time to find the cure to recover Pyro. He might be able to help us.", Twilight said. The other 5 nodded to her, and headed outside the hospital. Well, except Applejack.
"Applejack, aren't you comming?", Twilight asked.
"Sorry, Twi. I gotta stay there. I can't just leave him there.", she replied.
"But we need all the help we can get! The Everfree Forest is hard to go on without enough help!", Twilight countered.
"I know, but I simply need to stay here. If things get too hard, just come here and I'll help.", Applejack said.
"Okay, I guess.", Twilight replied. The two shook their hooves, and Twilight headed with the four other ponies outside.
"I can't believe it! Who blocked the path to Zecora's hut?", Dash yelled as she found a large tree trunk fallen over the path.
"I guess we need to take the harder path, then. ", commented Fluttershy. The others walked out of the blocked path and went deeper into the woods, hoping to find their way through the forest maze.
5 minutes later...
"Are we there yet?", Pinkie asked.
"No.", Twilight answered.
"And now?", Pinkie asked again.
"No.", Dash answered.
"And now?", Pinkie asked yet again.
"No.", Rarity answered.
"And now?", Pinkie asked yet again.
"NO!" , Dash, Twilight and Rarity yelled at the same time.
...
"And now?", Pinkie asked YET again.
"Ugh. I think we walked in circles.", Rarity said.
"Yeah, I remember seeing this beehive like one hundred times!", Dash replied.
"Uh, girls? I think we are lost.", Twilight commented.
"No, we can't be! Let's just head fowards from now on!", Rarity replied. Eventually, the five set off to head only foward. Eventually, they found a path with a sign and a gate.
SIGN:
Welcome to the Everfree Square.
Backwards: Ponyville
"Hang on, if 'Everywhere' is the Everfree Forest, then why Backwards is Ponyville?", Pinkie asked.
"Pinkie, you get the idea.", Twilight replied. They opened the gate, and entered the Everfree Square. It was a circle path with three other pathes protuding from the sides of the circle path. In the middle of the circle path were leafless trees and bushes with creepy flowers. There were bushes with those creepy flowers in front of every protuding path.
"I'm scared. ", Fluttershy squeaked.
"Big news.", Dash replied sarcastically.
"Enough joking. Which path should we choose?", Twilight asked.
"Let's choose the one to the right!", Rarity answered, pointing to one of the gates. The five walked towards it. However, as soon as they approached a bush, the creepy flowers began reacting, swirling around with living lips. This scared the heck out of Fluttershy, who squeaked and ran away quickly, only to meet with another of those flowers, which caused her to fly again quickly through the gate. The other five ran after her.
"Fluttershy! Those are only flowers! They won't hurt you!", Dash said.
"Don't you know? Everything here hurts you!", Fluttershy replied.
"Silly, if everything here hurts us, then the floor would be giving us lots of pain in the hooves!", Pinkie replied. Her comment managed to calm Fluttershy down.
"Uh, girls, isn't this the same sign we have seen?", Rarity asked as she pointed to a sign.
SIGN:
Welcome to the Everfree Square.
"Now that you mention it, the path behind DID seemed to disappear, too. Coincidence?", Twilight replied.
"You guys are just having mirages of the forest. C'mon, let's head out again!", Dash replied as she flied to the middle path on the other side of the circle path, again with the lip-bearing flowers scaring Fluttershy. However, they found themselves to be at the sign path again.
"Uh, why are they putting the same sign everywhere?", Rarity asked.
"Mmm, there's something fishy about this path....C'mon, girls. Follow me.", Twilight replied as she went backwards.
"Uh, Twilight? That's where we came from.", Dash replied.
"Yes, and no. We came from here, but at the same time, we didn't came from here.", Twilight said.
"Huh? What the hay are you talking about?", Dash asked.
"A-ha! Come here, Dash. I'll explain it to you.", Twilight replied. Dash, followed by the other three headed to where Twilight was. To their surprise, the Everfree Square they came from wasn't there anymore.
"What? This forest can shape-shift now? Oh, now we REALLY are doomed!", Dash said.
"No, it cannot shape-shift. If you notice closely, you can see hoofprints on the floor. These are actually OUR hoofprints. When we were heading towards the gates, we ended up over there again. They aren't actually placing the same sign everywhere. We are just walking on circles!", Twilight explained.
"Exactly, my dear friend.", a voice called out.
"Huh? Who said that?", Twilight asked. As if on cue, a black cloaked pony fell from the sky, landing perfectly on it's hooves.
"I said it. I am here to help wanderers not to get lost. This large square thou see is enchanted by an ancient power, confusing the wanderers. Thou must find thy correct pattern, and head through the correct path. Take a wrong turn, and thou shall arrive back to the edge of the Everfree Square.", said the hooded pony.
"But where does this square leads to?", Rarity asked.
"It is basically an alternate path to the normal path you came from. Why art thou not using thy main path?", asked the pony.
"A dumb tree decided to fall on the path to prevent us from heading to Zecora's hut.", Dash answered.
"Oh, I see. Well, I wish thou good luck in your quest.", the hooded pony replied as it jumped towards the trees and disappeared.
"Mmm..correct pattern...It must have something to do with the enviorment.", Twilight suggested. She went through the square, inspecting each single detail, but she stopped on the last gate. "I see it.", she said.
"What?", the others asked.
"All the gates haves a flower with sly smiling lips. This flower also haves lips, but those are much bigger than the others. This must be the correct path.", she replied. The five went through the gate, and true to her word, they didn't found the sign anymore.
"Well, we did made some progress.", commented Rarity.
"Yes, but we are not done yet.", Twilight replied. She went towards the flower bush. The first flower started slowly leaning left and right while singing a melody. She went to the next bush. The second flower popped out like the first, but instead of leaning left and right, it's mouths started to spin around and fell out of the flower. "It's this one.", she replied. She went through the second gate, and arrived at the third square. This one had no flower bush. "Well, no flowers this time. Keep an eye on everything else, girls!", she said. They started wandering around. First gate, bush with no flower, leafless tree. Second gate, bush with no flower, leafless tree. Third gate, bush with no flower, leafless tree, and...wait...
"AAAHHH!!" , Fluttershy screamed as she flew slightly away. Out of nothing, one of the tree holes in the third gate popped red eyes along with a slight scream.
"It's the third gate!", Twilight said. The elements, along the terrified Fluttershy, entered the third gate, arriving at the fourth square.
"I think this one's the last. It is most likely hard.", Rarity commented. The five nodded, and went through the gates. Oddly, all of them were equal.
"I don't get it. There's no difference in those gates.", Twilight commented.
"Are ya sure? I really dislike dead ends.", Dash replied. They made another loop, nothing. A third loop, still nothing.
"There's something strange about this one.", Twilight continued.
"Uh, Twilight, I think you missed something.", Pinkie commented, pointing at a larger bush in the side of the gate that they came through. She wiggled through the bush, and found an opening. However, there was nothing in the inside.
"There's nothing inside this opening, Pinkie. But I think this might point out to something....", Twilight mumbled. She went through the gate they came from.
"Why are you going back again, Twi?", Dash asked. Twilight didn't answered, she just kept going fowards until she was out of range. The five went after her. They were surprised to find that the third square wasn't there anymore, but rather, a path that junctioned with another path. Twilight was waiting there.
"The fourth square was supposed to be a play on wanderers. We found the way out.", she said as she pointed to the left. They saw the collapsed tree there, blocking the path. They headed to the right, and finally arrived at Zecora's hut.
"Zecora, are you home?", Twilight asked as she knocked on the door. There was silence for 5 seconds, but it was soon interrupted.
"Oh spankle! It's my good old friend, Twilight Sparkle!", a voice said through the hut. The door opened, and inside revealed the rhyming zebra.
"This rhyme didn't made much sense... ", Dash murmurred to Rarity and Fluttershy.
"Zecora, Equestria's in danger! We need your poison joke cure to save a friend of ours!", Twilight said. The zebra hesitated for a moment, before it replied.
"Now, calm down, my friendly gradient. I happened to run out of ingredient.", Zecora replied.
"This one didn't made much sense, either. ", Dash continued.
"We can get some more! Tell us, what are the ingredients?", Twilight insisted.
"Doesn't works like that, my friend. I happened to take all of the forest's stock of ingredients.", Zecora replied flatly.
"A-ha! This one didn't even rhymed!", Dash bursted out.
"Rainbow, what are you doing, dear?", Rarity asked.
"This isn't Zecora. The real Zecora never hesitates to think of what to rhyme. This one hesitated all the time, and when it didn't, it hardly rhymed!", she continued.
"Bingo!", the zebra yelled, as it mysteriously flew up in the air. Eventually, the gray-n-darker-gray legs revealed to become black, and the zebra double it's size. Not to mention that a greenish hairstyle popped out, alongside holes in the skin. The zebra revealed to be nonetheless the changeling queen.
"Chrysalis?! What are you doing here?", Twilight asked.
"Hah hah hah! You see, Discord and Trixie offered me this nice job of tricking you into looking for the cure to the poison joke to cure Pyro, while they use their chaos magic to slowly kill Engineer! You five have just fallen into my trap! Eventually, chaos will rule Equestria, and none of you will be able to stop it!", the queen yelled. Before the five could react, she used her twisted magic to encase the five in greenish fire, and caused them to shrink on the floor, banishing them to Celestia knows where.
"With five of the elements out of the way, this only leaves with Pyro, Engineer, and that cowboy pony to stop! And that's a job....for Nightmare Moon!", Chrysalis said to herself, as she held a bottle containing a purple space-like fluid sloshing about, trying to wiggle free. She began to chuckle devilishy, which quickly turned into a maniacal laughter.
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 16: Awakening, Part 2
"MMH FHH FHH FHH FHH!!" , Über Pyro laughed maniacly as he thrusted his Strange Phlogistinator upwards. He charged towards the five ponies while firing his Phlog. They narrowly dodged, and watched in terror as the giant, brainwashed Pyro melted a 100-foot crystal shard in less than 3 seconds. Pyro charged again, spewing the eletrical rays in front of him, obviously doing the W+M1 technique(Protip: Don't do it on TF2, it's hard). The five jumped out of the way again, almost being melted. Pyro crashed on a crystal wall, while the Phlogistinator kept burning uncontrollably the crystal. It was reduced to a pile of orange cinders in 1 second flat.
"We won't make it!", Twilight cried.
"Yes, you will.", an unexpected, but familiar voice called out. They(including Pyro) looked up to the gap, and to their surprise, found Engineer(with a robotic hand) and Applejack standing there in the middle of 40 Combat Mini-Sentry Guns. "That there's a pratical problem. An' ladies, I solve pratical problems.", Engineer continued. Lots of little 'beep's were heard s the Mini-Sentries pointed towards the giant Pyro. The two texans jumped out of the way as the Sentries proceeded to shoot Pyro.
Now, Combat Mini-Sentry Guns have a low knockback when alone. However, when they are joined with lots of other Mini-Sentries, they gain a monstrous knockback that beats even the high recoil of the Level 3 Sentry Gun. Pyro tried to cover the bullets with his left arm as he was inevitably pushed backwards. However, Pyro had a trick under his sleeve. The nozzle of the Phlog was crackling with red energy. If you played Team Fortress 2, you know that this means that the 'Mmmph' bar is full. Pyro chuckled evilly as he noticed it.
"Aw, hell. He's alterady charged. Plan B!", Engie said as Pyro thrusted his weapon upwards again, causing it to glow in a red color and a green circle to appear around him. "This is the plan: The Mini-Sentries will keep Pyro distracted. While he attempts to destroy them, you six will use the elements to stop him." , he quietly told the plan.
"But darling, we don't have the elements!" , Rarity pointed out.
"We got 'em." , Applejack replied as she handed out the six elements.
"Where did ya found 'em?" , Dash asked.
"No time, move!" , Engineer answered. The six ponies wore their respective necklaces, and proceeded to connect their bonds together, as they levitated in the air. Meanwhile, Pyro finished destroying the last Mini-Sentry. He thrusted his Phlogistinator upwards to celebrate his victory. However, his cheering was cut short as he heard a strange noise. He turned around, and found a massive rainbow comming towards him.
*BOOM*
Pyro screamed as he felt like he was going to implode, but shortly after, he felt himself shrinking, and losing his memory. He didn't remembered much about what happened after. The first thing he saw was himself laying down on the crystal floor, next to a big crater shaped like his Strange Phlogistinator with the latter on the middle.
"Wfht hpfhnd?", Pyro mumbled.
"Discord somehow managed to brainwash you into following him, and made you huge. You made this mess here.", Engineer explained. Pyro looked around in shock.
"Tfht hlf-wfht WHFLL PFHY!! ", Pyro yelled as he picked his futuristic Flamethrower and ran out of the cave. Engineer and the Elements followed him shortly after.
Meanwhile, on the capital of Canterlot...
During all the three weeks of the chaos age, all cities of Equestria were transformed into a chaos-induced place. Canterlot was not an exception. Even the Princesses were trapped into capsules made by the changeling queen. However, this day, Discord and Chrysalis had something planned in mind. The two warped to the almost-destroyed castle.
...
"Why, hello there, Royal Princesses!", Discord said outloud in a mockery tone. "Wow, you two are resting in changeling capsules? I didn't expected that. So 'underly' for the royal members.", he continued. He stopped when the bug pony elbowed him. "Oh, right. 'Woony', I have something for you!", he continued. Luna's ears perked up. She looked at the two, and gasped(or, atleast, tried to) upon seeing the jar with the starry liquid. She looked to her right, and found out that even Celestia was surprised. "Release it!", he commanded. Chrysalis opened the jar, and grinned evilly as the dark starry liquid flew out of the jar on it's own. It stood there idly, before finally moving towards the moon princess' jail. It spun around it, before covering it in dark power. It fell down along with the capsule, revealing the long-lost monster. Nightmare Moon.
"I thank you for releasing me from that blasted jar.", Nightmare spoke while grinning. "But at the same time, I'm angry at you for imprisoning me in there!", she continued, this time with an angrier tone.
"Whoa, calm down, 'princess'. If we hadn't trapped you in the jar, you could accidentally possess one of us.", the Chaos God replied.
"And wouldn't it be good?", Nightmare replied.
"Not really, we need the biggest ammount of members possible. The elements are teamed up with two mercenaries. The elements alone are alterady dangerous, and when teamed up with two professionals, they doubled their effectiveness.", Chrysalis responded.
"We don't have enough time for chit-chat. We have a place to take control of. Better: A whole PLANET to do it. We could have eternal night, break in total chaos, and take out the ponies' love, all at once!", Discord called out. The two nodded, and laughed maniacly.
TO BE CONTINUED...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
"Huh, why is it alterady night? Did the sun got tired?", Pinkie asked.
"Oh no....Nightmare Moon's released.", Twilight responded.
"So, what do we do now?", Rarity asked.
"I guess it's a better question to ask what are those black things approaching the city.", Engineer broke in as he pointed to a mob of Changelings falling from the sky and towards Canterlot.
*BOOM*
The eight covered their eyes as a quick explosion happened. They then quickly proceeded to run towards the capital as fast as possible. Upon arriving there, they were surprised to find the city almost upside-down, with ponies hiding. In the middle was Trixie.
"Oh, it's the intruders. The Great and Powerful Trixie haves a great hatred to you.", she said.
"Ma'am, if you want, we can do this the easy way. But if you refuse to co-operate, then we'll do it the hard way.", Engie offered.
"Ha! You think you can defeat me? Just try!", Trixie replied. Engineer stepped fowards. "Fist-fight. Me, you, and your worthless robotic hand.", she continued as she mocked Engineer's Gunslinger. He simply ignored the offense, and readied his hand.
"Three...two....GO!", she said while skipping one, as she delivered the first punch to Engie's gut.
"Hey! That's not fair!", he blurted out as he tried to get ready, only to get buckled again. He was about to lose, but he was instantly filled with adrenaline, that was comming from the Gunslinger. He got up, and punched her. He shortly delivered another punch. Again, if you played Team Fortress 2, you know that if you hit an enemy three times with the Gunslinger, the third punch will be a critical hit. Engineer prepared to do the third hit, but strangely, his right arm was filled with strength, and he unexpectedly lifted it upwards, and smacked his hand on Trixie. She collapsed. Engie was panting. He never used that much strength.
"Gvuuh jofb!", Pyro congratulated. The elements were about to congratulate too, but the blue unicorn stepped up.
"You call this Good work? That's nowhere near good! You still have to face the wrath of the Great and Powerful Trixie!", she yelled. She was engulfed in a cloud of smoke, but reappeared far away as she ran to Celestia knows where.
"That's what she said last time we saw her!", Dash commented. The six then proceeded to run towards the castle.]
They stopped upon seeing that there was a large group of Changelings blocking the Castle entrance.
"Hpfhy, Phfnky, lft's ufhs th prtfhy cfhmhn!", Pyro suggested. Strangely enough, Pinkie was alterady riding the party cannon. Pyro just shrugged, and jumped in.
"Pyro, what are ya doin'?!", Engineer asked. Pyro didn't responded. He was simply launched out of the cannon, before crashing in the group of Changelings. That pretty much destroyed most of 'em. However, that simply triggered the response of other Changelings.
"Oh, more insects to play with!", Pinkie responded as Pyro ran back to the group. The eight proceeded to fight the group of Changelings, who again disguised as the Elements. This time, however, some of them disguised as Pyro and Engineer. But that didn't mattered much, because they didn't had their real selves' weapons.
"Mfhllooooo!", Pyro cried out as he pulled out his Strange Phlogistinator and charged in, igniting the fake ponies/mercs. Engineer relied on his Frontier Justice((that was charged with 36 Revenge Crits, by the way.)) to finish off the dopplegangers. The other ponies simply fought like how they did on the last Changeling invasion.
One fighting moment later...
"Phew...we made it.", Engineer commented.
"But it was easy, just like the last time. Hard is to tell each other apart.", Dash responded proudly.
"We don't have time for chat. Let's put an end to this craziness!", Twilight broke in. The eight then headed inside the castle.
"Oh! I see the eight 'heroes' comming towards the castle! Oh no, they will defeat us and we will be sealed back again! Hahahahaha!", Discord said as he looked on the crystal ball.
"Hahaha, yeah, like they will be able to defeat us.", Chrysalis replied.
"They defeated us before because we were seperated. But now, we are united, therefore, we are invincible!", Nightmare commented.
"I don' think so.", Engineer blurted out as him and the others stepped inside.
"Ooh no, it's hardhat, mute guy, and the puny elements! I think I soiled my diaper!", Discord replied sarcastically.
"You better! You don't know how hard we will kick your and your partners' rumps!", Dash spoke out.
"Uh-huh. I hfv sfmthfng th gfhiv tfh yfw, hlf-wht!", Pyro commented.
"Bring it, mumbles.", he replied while yawning.
That was the last straw for Pyro. He picked his Vintage Flare Gun, and fired it towards Discord. The latter, however, simply ducked, causing the Flare to miss him. He, Nightmare, and Chrysalis bursted int oa laughter.
"You....you can't even aim! How can you even be a mercenary? I bet your team is worthless, too!", he said while laughing.
"I wfsn't afhinmhng tfh yfw!", Pyro replied with a hint of confidence in his voice. The three immediatly stopped laughing and turned around to find the flare perfectly hitting the capsule that Celestia was stuck in. The capsule was ignited, and instantly melted, and the Sun princess fell down. Pyro side-walked next to Twilight and Fluttershy. "Gho gho gho!", he ordered as the two sprinted towards the princess. Nightmare turned to stop them, but she was pushed away by Rainbow. Pyro said something in Engineer's ear. The latter's face brightened up.
"This is the plan: We distract the three until the princess is recovered. After that, she takes care of the job. Understood?" , he told the plan. The ponies nodded. "Good.", he replied.
"What are we doing? Stop the two pests!", Discord ordered. Unexpectedly, he was hit by another flare shot by Pyro's Scorch Shot. "Ouch! That hurts, don't you know?", he chided.
"Uh-huh.", Pyro replied flatly. Discord face-palmed.
"Ugh. Just take care of those six!", he ordered. Him, Chrysalis and Nightmare stepped towards the six.
"What do we do now?", Rarity asked.
"Teamwork.", Engineer replied as he pulled his Frontier Justice, still glowing with the 3 crits remaining. Pyro pulled his trusty Flamethrower.
Another moment of fighting later...
The fight was not how it was planned. The three had managed to outpower the six.
"Hah hah hah hah. You came here full of confidence. And now, you're all hopeless. How cute.", the Chaos God commented.
"This is it. This is the time...of your DEFEAT!", Nightmare yelled.
"No.", a rather familiar voice suddently spoke. The three turned around to find Celestia, alongside Twilight and Fluttershy((who now had a face with anger, a rare fact)). "You went too far this time, Discord. Trying to break chaos is expected, but teaming up with the two other major threats is beyond words.", she said. She used her magic to bring the six Elements of Harmony together, and prepared to execute them. She pointed towards Discord, causing a rainbow laser to fire towards him, slowly encasing him in stone.
"Wha-NO! AAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHH!", he yelled. He was interrupted as the stone encased his head. Chrysalis and Nightmare watched in horror as he was defeated, and stepped back.
Celestia pointed towards Nightmare. The rainbow laser proceeded to fire at her.
"Ouch! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO-", she yelled, being cut short as the dark substance was broken, revealing a exhausted moon princess, who instantly fainted.
Finally, she turned towards Chrysalis.
"No...no, wait! Don't do it!", she pleaded.
"Too late. Goodbye.", the princess replied. The rainbow fountain finally came out, firing towards the changeling queen. A slight explosion happened, and Chrysalis was sent flying away from Canterlot.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo-", she yelled.
"What a show!", Pinkie commented, sitting in a cinema chair with pop-corn she brought out of thin air. She was also wearing theatre monocles.
"Uh-huh.", Pyro replied, who was also sitting in a cinema chair while eating pop-corn. Obviously, he had his filter out of his mask.
"What the....Okay, I'll not even ask.", Engineer said as he noticed the cinema chairs.
TO BE CONTINUED IN THE LAST CHAPTER...
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
Part 18: The End.....Atleast for now.
Epilogue: Everything that comes must go.
After the defeat of the three biggest threats to Equestria at the same time, a party was held at Canterlot, that was really supposed to be a Goodbye party. An uranium mine was found at Appleoosa, that was more than enough to power-up the teleporter. Pyro and Pinkie celebrated the party entirely together, as they knew that after that, they wouldn't see each-other again. Engineer also decided to teach Applejack how to build his ingenuous machines that he used in Badlands. And a scientist even made Pyro some special contact lenses to make him see the world like if he still was in Equestria. It wasn't an exact replica of Equestria, but Pyro didn't mind. The party went all the way until midnight, when Pyro and Engineer headed back to Badlands to help their team, RED, to fight their way to beat the war and not be defeated by their enemy team, BLU.
Little did they knew that a pony was secretly watching Pyro from far away.
"Wow, Pyro's so awesome. I wish I was just like him.", the pony said. "No. I WILL be just like him.", the pony continued, as he picked a red rubber suit, rubber gloves, a gas mask, and a replica of the Flamboyant Flamenco.
Meanwhile, in Cp_Well...
"Damn....that worthless texan and the crazy mute had disappeared since we were on Well.", Soldier commented.
"Yeah, they left the team just because it sucks. I should follow 'em.", Scout replied. "I mean, c'mon, we're on the last control point!", he continued.
"Shut up, boyo. Of course these lads betrayed us and went to BLU. I knew it!", Demoman suggested.
"Boys!", a voice came out.
"Engineer?", Medic asked.
"Sorry that me and Pyro had been missing.", he apologized. "We...fell unconsious when the BLU Demoman blew me and Pyro.", he lied. "But, I know why we were losing the war.", he continued.
"You know? TELL IT NOW, PRIVATE!", Soldier barked.
"Calm down, Solly!", Engineer replied as he cleaned his mouth from Soldier's accidental spit. "Anyways, we're losing the war because we're not having teamwork.", Engineer commented. However, Scout, Soldier, Demoman and Medic burst into laughter.
"Wfhy rh yfw lfghn?", Pyro asked.
"Teamwork's for losers, lassie! We don't need teamwork to make this team work!", Demoman responded.
"Then why did we lost control from 2Fort, Granary, Badwater, Pipeline, Gravel Pit, Dustbowl, and all other locations?", Engineer asked. The team stood there quiet. "Atleast give teamwork a chance, boys. We fell because we stopped cooperating.", he continued.
"Uh-huh.", Pyro agreed.
"Fine, we'll try.", Soldier replied with a tone of deject.
"BLU is invading control point!", Heavy yelled as he, Sniper and Spy ran inside the base.
"Alright, boys. Teamwork!", Engineer yelled. The RED team then decided to use teamwork to see if they would be able to defend. And to their surprise, it worked.
"Wow....teamwork really works....Engie, where did you learned this?", Scout asked.
"I, uh...um...", he mumbled.
"Wfh nfticd tfht wfe stfhpphd wurfkng msh mm tfheem lfthly, fhnd tfht wfh strfthd tfh lfhoos tfh bpfhlttl.", Pyro answered.
"Oh. I cannot believe we stopped winning because of such an obvious reason and we were idiots enough to not notice it!", Soldier cursed. "C'mon, cupcakes. We have a war to win!", he continued. The rest of the RED Team proceeded to make a push towards the BLU base in Well.
Some time later, in Dustbowl...
The war started to go well for the RED Team. Ever since Pyro and Engineer re-introduced teamwork, RED worked up it's way to victory. It regained control of Well, and took back possession of their base in Dustbowl. Pyro was starting to forget about his time in Equestria, but he then noticed something odd.
There was a patch of dirt that was not grass.
This made Pyro remember how he got Pyrovision. It caused ALL types of soil to become green grass. However, a patch of dirt in Dustbowl was not colored green. He then remembered the time he spent with the ponies, and with Pinkie Pie. How could he forget it? After mentally cursing himself, he Pinkie-promised himself not to forget about his time in Equestria. He ran back to battle.
He didn't noticed that the patch of dirt was now colored green.
THE END
The Pyro and The Engineer's Misadventures in Equestria
If you have watched the Season 2 finale, then you probably heard of the Crystal Caves. They are large caves made of crystals(obviously) that block unicorn magic from ever reaching in and out of it. They were used to imprison ponies who broke rules of Equestria, but later became a place where the changeling queen traps anybody who dares to interrupt her plans. And it doesn't helps that the whole place is a maze. Anyways, into the story.
"Ugh. Now, where are we?", asked Dash as she got up.
"I don't know, but this cave is filled with SO MANY CRYSTALS!", Rarity spoke as she ran to a crystal shard.
"Hang on...cave? Crystals? Crystal Caves!", Twilight said.
"Uh, Crystal Caves?", the other four asked.
"It's where Chrysalis trapped both me and Cadence in the royal wedding last month!", Twilight explained.
"Ooh.", the others replied.
"This place blocks unicorn magic from reaching outside, so we need to find our way out manually.", she continued as she trotted away.
"Do you have any idea of what she said?", Dash asked. The other three shook their heads, before following Twilight.
The five walked for a couple of minutes on the caves, eventually reaching a pit.
"How will we cross that pit? I mean, Rainbow and Fluttershy can just fly over it, and Twilight can teleport over it, but neither me and Pinkie can fly nor teleport.", Rarity asked.
"Mmm....ah! Dash can carry Pinkie, and Fluttershy can carry you. I can teleport myself to the other side.", Twilight answered.
"I don't think I can handle carrying somepony else. Not that I cannot try, though. ", Fluttershy replied.
Dash picked up Pinkie and Fluttershy picked up Rarity, and flied out over the gap. Twilight simply used her teleportation spell to teleport to the other side. They ended up on a minecart trail with five conviently-placed minecarts.
"Wow, just our luck.", Dash commented as the five jumped on the minecarts and rode down the spiral trail, with Fluttershy panicking of the speed.
The minecart trail ended in a ramp, causing the minecarts to be sent flying up ahead, eventually crash-landing on a clearing.
"Ouch.....hang on...There! I see the way out!", Twilight said as she looked towards a steep cliff with an opening on it's top. Bright light could be seen outside.
"Not so fast, now.", a voice boomed. The five looked around. Eventually, reflexes of the changeling queen appeared randomly on the crystals.
"What do you want?", Twilight asked.
"What I want? Oh, Discord offered me to help him in his job, on which I should capture you five, and prevent you from escaping, and in return, he lets me to control Canterlot at my will!", Chrysalis explained.
"Yeah, right. We are escaping out right now! Plus, even if you stop us from escaping, eventually, hardhat will recover, then him and Applejack will put a stop in your plan!", Dash replied.
"Hah hah hah! Oh, you make me laugh! He also told me to retrieve the soul that transformed your precious night princess into the horrendous creature you have beaten. Nightmare Moon. I'm going to release it, so it can host itself on the princess again. Then, it will do it's job, of slowly killing your human friend. Once he is dead, your farm friend will break into tears. And that's where Discord enters in again. Because she will be too sad, he will corrupt her just like that time when he corrupted you all. Without her, you won't be able to stop us. And, when Pyro's poison effect shorts out, us four will anniquilate him, and banish him back to his puny world of people who think that killing each other is the only solution to their problems!", the changeling queen continued. "And, now that I have you gathered around here, I'll see as you five have some 'fun' with my minions!", she continued. She whistled, and on cue, hundreads of changelings arrived on the exit of the caves. They started running towards the five as Chrysalis laughed evilly.
"C'mon, we did this a month earlier, this time it's nothing different! Let's do this!", Twilight said as she and her friends proceeded to fight the changelings. Like the other time, they all transformed into random versions of the five ponies. They took care not to accidentally attack their real selves as they attacked their impostors.
"What? You managed to beat all of them?", Chrysalis said in shock.
"Your puny army is nothing against us!", Dash replied.
"Whatever. You still cannot reach me quick enough before I release Nightmare Moon. You're still doomed. Aww, what's with the angry face of yours? I know what will cheer you up -- a little fun with Über Pyro!", she continued. Her reflex disappeared as rumbling was heard, followed by crystal breaking noises. Loud footsteps were heard. The sound's origin became identified because the giant Pyro came from the opening, breaking crystals on the way. Well, fighting Über Pyro was not going to be easy at all.
