Canterlot High School

Main Entrance

As Sunset and her friends entered the school, they noticed a vacant School Bus sitting in the parking lot.

"Why's that bus there?" Rarity asked.

"Because you seven are going on a trip."

They turned to see Principal Celestia appear, wearing her usual suit.

"What trip?" Sunset asked. "And where are we going?"

"We're going to Norrisville, our Sister City, to visit their High School. They'll be doing the same at a later date." Celestia said. "You seven have good records, so I figured you'd be up to the task. And Pinkie?"

"Yes?" Pinkie Pie asked.

"You can throw a party." Celestia said. "When we get there."

Pinkie beamed and gave a devious series of chuckles.

"Mwahahaha!" she cackled, putting on a monocle and James Bond villain-style top hat. "My moment of triumph approaches!"

"Shall we be off?" Celestia asked, a little amused. The girls nodded and followed Celestia onto the bus, which drove off towards Norrisville.

"So, Twi?" Sunset asked.

"Yeah?" Sci-Twi replied, looking at her laptop.

"Look up Norrisville. What's happening there?" Sunset requested. Sci-Twi typed in "Norrisville, Massachussets" into the search bar, and hit ENTER.

"It's like Canter City in many respects." Sci-Twi said. "It is home to McFist Industries. From what I read, they basically make everything and anything under the sun."

"Like what?" Rainbow asked.

"Appliances, gadgets, everything." Sci-Twi said, looking at McFist Industries' internet homepage. "Apparently its CEO has a thing for robot gorillas."

"Weird." Rarity said. "Robo-Apes? That sounds…"

"Odd?" Sci-Twi said. "Yes. It's also home to Norrisville High, which is where we're going, an extinct Volcano named Mount Chuck, which I didn't know existed, and various restaurants and typical suburban features."

"So, basically Canter City?" Fluttershy said.

"Yep. Though Norrisville High boasts a good Chess and other sport teams, and…wait, take a look at this."

The girls crowded around. The screen displayed a video titled "Norrisville Ninja defeats killer robot...again."

As Twi hit play, Sunset watched a figure in red and black battling a mechanical praying mantis. The figure battled it for a few moments, then it fired some kid of fist-shaped projectile that blew the mantis head off. The video ended with the figure disappearing in a flash of smoke.

"Wow." Twi said. "Apparently Norrisville High is protected by a Ninja against mutated students and killer robots. That's certainly something."

"It is." Applejack said. "What kind of school has a Ninja that fights mutants and robots?"

"Apparently this one." Twi said. "We're almost there."

As the bus drove through the morning traffic, the students surveyed the area.

"Greg's Game Hole...interesting name...LeVean Exterminators…Norrisville Public Library...seems legit." Pinkie said. "Wait, incoming!"

Before they knew it, something red and black smashed through the window and landed, dazed, on the floor of the bus. Sunset and the girls then realized that it was the figure from the video, with a few aesthetic differences.

"Umm, hello?" the Ninja said before a giant metallic lobster claw grabbed him and pulled him out of the bus.

"Was that who I think it was?" Rainbow asked.

"Yep." Sunset said. "That was the guy from the video."

As the girls headed to the front of the bus, they saw the figure was dodging blows from a colossal robot lobster. As the lobster smashed up a few cars, the Ninja drew a longsword and slashed one of its claws off.

"Nice katana!" Rainbow cheered.

"Ninjato, actually." Twi said. "Katanas were used mainly by Samurai, and not ninjas."

The girls stared at Twi, who shrugged.

"I read, you know." she said as they resumed watching the fight. The Robo-Lobster hurled its wrecked claw at the Ninja, who sliced it in half before landing on a car.

"Alright! Ninja Tengu Fireball!" the Ninja smirked as he hurled a flaming orb, which blew the Lobster's head off, and left it as little more than scrap metal. As the girls watched, the Ninja disappeared in a flash of smoke, which drifted into the bus.

Unfortunately, the girls got a full blast of it. And Skunk Pine sap is not easy on the nose.

"Eww!" Rainbow snorted. "That's worse than...well I don't know what!"

"Hmm, sulfur is my best guess." Twi said.

"That's worse than Rainbow's BO." Sunset said, getting a few laughs and a punch on the shoulder.

"That's enough for now." Celestia said. "Let's continue on, shall we?"

As the bus resumed its path to Norrisville High, the Ninja ducked into an alley and pulled off his mask, revealing Randy Cunningham.

"That was close." he sighed. "Right, school!"

As he tore off towards Norrisville High, he was soon joined by Howard.

"So, how'd it go?" Howard asked.

"I mean, for a robo-lobster, it was easy." Randy said. "Those girls on the bus though. They seemed odd."

"How so?" Howard asked.

"One had rainbow-colored hair." Randy said. "Doesn't' that seem odd?"

"Randy, we live in Norrisville." Howard said. "Come on, odd is how things go around here."

Randy couldn't argue with that.

"Let's pick up the pace." Randy sighed. "I don't want to find out if Slimovitz gives detentions on the first day."
