Among the Living Once Again
Chapter Six: Moonlit Charade
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs dawn breaks, A smile is cast upon Ponyville from the Everfree forest.
Walking, the one action that has cursed Stanley Mayer since his return to the land of Equestria is about to end as he has reached his destination. Having just traveled under the cover of night, Stan made his way to the outskirts of the Everfree forest that opens up toward Ponyville. Stan with his full set of armor, who convinced himself last minute to bring, was worn in all it's shimmering glory. He made sure to wash the armor in a stream, finishing with a brilliant polish using a rag that was once his grey shirt. The armor shined bright, just like back in the chamber during his awakening.
Stan made sure to wash up, and shave off his beard before possibly conducting his last act. Being in tip-top shape to preform this suicide endeavor, Stan felt more ready then ever. Only having lost some minor weight, his muscle mass was nearly unchanged. His magic on the other hand had now consolidated up to an extreme echelon. Proving his insane potential was not just a hoax . With the high concentration of magic, he felt it almost ready to burst out from within his body.The magic made him feel heavy, but oddly powerful when he took each step forward on his journey.
Inside the Everfree forest, Stan avoided the main paths that were slightly overgrown with the invading plants. With it already being dark in the forest Stan hardly noticed it was nighttime. While off the beaten path, Stan never did come across the strange creatures that were rumored inside this forest. Maybe they were just afraid of a lumbering armored wearing creature in their forest. Either way Stan navigated through the thick trees,vines,and bushes that were in his way. The journey at nighttime wasn't tough for Stan as he's been operating at night for the past two weeks. Due to this, he would be able to traverse the harshness of the forest just ever so easier.
As Stanley Mayer hiked through the vast uncharted parts of the Everfree forest. Ponyville just the day before Stanley set out, had a huge celebration for the closing weeks of Summer. Celestia herself came to visit the elements of harmony during the celebration. When ever Celestia made an appearance in any town, the people would rejoice. Having the monarch of the Equestria Empire come pay a visit wasn't something that happened every day after all. Luna on the other hand, wasn't fond of gallivanting around her subjects. As the co-ruler, she still had to make an appearance by her sister's side in order to keep prestige.
The celebration was a huge hit in Ponyville, as various fireworks and magic based entertainment rang out in the night sky. A large number of Ponies from other communities came to watch the show and to join in on the festivities. From games, to music, to a lavishly bountiful feast, the day was grand from start to finish.
Little did Stanley know of such an event, as his adventure through Everfree was just half over, when midnight struck.
It was nearly 8:00AM, as Celestia and Luna left for Canterlot now, bidding goodbye to the elements of harmony, along with various other ponies of Ponyville. With the two princesses leaving, everyone got back to their daily lives, as usual. At this time the elements of harmony start their daily routine.
Applejack was working in her family's apple tree farm peacefully with only a minor hangover from last nights celebration. Twilight Sparkle sat comfy on her couch, reading a book on the various holidays of old, using magic to sip tea from a levitating cup. Rainbow Dash was practicing her skills as she raced around in the clouds above. Rarity worked diligently at her shop, preparing fabrics for her next client. Pinkie Pie began prepping her kitchen, in order to bake a double chocolate cake that was just ordered. With finally Fluttershy attending to various little creatures, who were injured and sickly.
Stan on the other hand, had just emerged from the forest. Looking straight ahead he could see the faint outline of Ponyville at the end of his vision. Standing still, he took off his helmet, taking a long and deep breath.
"So, I'm finally here at Ponyville. The place where the Elements of Harmony reside. Step one is now complete without a single inconvenience. I hope it stays that way going forward."
Putting his helmet back on, he let out a sigh. Stretching out his legs and arms, he looked back toward the forest he just came from. Turning around he ventured back inside the dark forest.
No need to rush things now. I should take a power nap maybe or wait til tonight. Rushing into Ponyville, in broad daylight might not be the most subtle approach. I'd doubt,.. I'd meet much resistance even if I did. Being this far out almost no guards existed, beside the poultry force around Twilight's Castle. I mean it is peaceful here, I'm the first 'villain' to appear in while, as mostly all others have been dealt with. Maybe the elements might just be rusty,probably not. I shouldn't count on it.
With a slight chuckle he settled down on the forest floor, leaning up against a tree. Resting his head as comfortably as he could. With each blink of his green eyes, his body began to settle. With his eyes closed now, it was followed up by a small snore.
A few hours later Stanley soon awoke.
Nothing had disturbed him as he thought. It was much more peaceful in this forest then what that book made it out to be. This book being the many that he had read while staying at Peddle Frost's home. Luckily no pony had the guts to travel inside the forest, nor a reason too. This helped simplify the situation for him as playing it safe was part of the plan. The only issue for him now were the jumbled thoughts on what to due next.
Should I just meditate and wait til' nighttime, or should I scout out advantageous positions for later..... Hmmm, why not both. Which brings to me something else.... I wonder......What would happen if I fuck up and get captured. Maybe Dungeons, torture,public execution ? Nah too harsh, they aren't the ponies of old, excluding the immortal alicorn sisters. No matter what happens, I will live with it. Another option would be to reason or plead for pardon? I got options. Don't know I wanted death earlier...guess it was a 'in heat of the moment' sorta thing.
Looking up at the sky through the tree tops, Stan sits up, with his back against the tree, ready to meditate. For the next hour he focuses while clearing his mind. Putting his mind at ease, magic soon built within him. Stan would break off meditation after hour long intervals as he charted locations of interest around Ponyville. With luck and skill he wasn't spotted by a single soul. Now repeating this meditation/scout. It was now already dark, as time flew by.
Stepping out of the forest, raring to go. Stanley stood silent.
"Now...or never!" he spoke with excitement. And with that he set out.
With what he dug up earlier from his scouting expeditions, he found an interesting path. This path lead right to the back of Twilight's Castle. The path looked old and forgotten since it was obstructed by the castle and other buildings. Not a single hoof print of a mare or stallion could be seen, which was a good sign. Stan now invigorated by the prospect, stepped onto the path. With steady steps he began his approach.
I should pole vault onto the castle, and explore a bit. I'm sure Twilight will be sleeping. I obviously never meet the elements, but the book had pictures of them. I could easily identify each member. Pictures of both Celestia and Luna were in the books I read also. So, I'll know for sure when I come across them. I just hope they are as cute in real life as the picture depicted. Once in Twilight's castle, I'll make my move.
Nearing the backside of the castle, the mouth of the path opened up into a courtyard. Firm stone walls on what looked to be a tree structure stood before him. The bottom of the tree castle was dark blue, with the color fading to white as it stretched upwards. It looked sorta like like an icy structure but it was stone. From high up he could see a strange crystal at the top tower. It was a light-blue star that radiated sparkles from within it's center. Besides that, Stan saw the golden like roof top's on all the chamber rooms further up the tree castle. Various balconies could be made out too from just looking up.
With the entrance on the other side, and various buildings to the right side of this castle, he couldn't stay out in the open for long. As much of a beautiful spectacle the castle was, Stan needed to keep hidden. Guards were surely going to show up any minute while doing a perimeter sweep around the castle.
Time to pillage this castle! Just kidding, but seriously lets get the hell inside.
Pressing his hands together and focusing just for a split second, Stan let out some magic. A blue aura covered his bare hands, along with his worn down boots. With this spell he could stick to almost any surface, making it easy to climb no matter the height. Walking toward the base of the tree castle he touched it with both his hands, only to pull himself upwards.His boots slammed against the castles base as his armor shook from the sudden movement. Like climbing a latter, Stan soon found his entrance, a small balcony on one of the lower floors was his ticket in. Pulling himself up, he stood on the balcony with a smile, as the blue aura around the affected parts of his body faded.
That wasn't too hard. I hoped to god no one spotted me, but this place seems pretty quiet to me. Could be a trap tho, or maybe the castle can sense my magic when it was touched, thus setting off an alarm.ugh.... I'm thinking too much into this.
Looking toward the glass double door that had fancy handles, Stan gripped them tightly as he slowly opened the door. The palms of his hands were sweaty from nervousness. Stepping inside, it was a dark room. Not wanting to fiddle around for a light switch, he soon cast a very dim red light, that closely followed him. Inside this room were various pieces of old furniture, along with paintings and trunks. The air in the room was musky a bit, almost pungent. As Stan moved in the room his left hand was covered in dust, as it blushed against the top of a trunk.
Good I'm in some storage room. This place looks like it hasn't been opened since the castle was built. Before I approached here I didn't see any lights from the windows so I assume Twilight to be asleep. What to do now, I'm sure there are guards in some of the hallways, patrolling about. So I can't just walk around willy-nilly,... Well I do have my cloaking spell. I have more then enough magic to spare for it.
Extinguishing his red light, he now casts the same spell that he used before to get away from the changelings. Turning invisible once again, Stan headed for the doorway to explore more inside this tree castle. He hoped it just wasn't too confusing for him to navigate. Opening up the door,Stan was met with such a surprise he almost broke concentration, as his eyes widened with shock.
Twilight Sparkle herself was trotting down the hall directly in-front of the door, with her back turned to him. She was talking to a guard who soon left to go down another hall. The door he had opened lead to a 3 pronged intersection, each being a hallway leading to other rooms.To the right of the doorway was the shortest hallway leading to a staircase. In all the hallways, yellow crystals attached to the ceiling shinned brightly. It looked to be like an expensive 4 star hotel. As each hallway's setup consisted of lavish decorations,augmented with extravagant wallpapers. In each of the hallways stood small tables with vases containing nicely kept flowers of a colorful variety.
Stan swiftly darting to the left hallway. Standing at the edge of the intersection, now poking his head out. He looked down the middle hallway where Twilight Sparkle was.
"WOW! what was that...?" Spoke a startled Twilight Sparkle as her whole body flipped around, in reaction to the door opening.
"Ummmm" Her voice now soft but intrigued. Still a bit afraid, she took a small hoof forward, slowly making her way down the hall to mysterious door. Stan was now just a few feet form the mare before him, as she stopped and observed the opened door. She looked to be frightened, or at least the expression on her face would have it seem.
"I-I hope it was just the wind...but, I swear that balcony door was closed for this room." Her voice stuttered at first, only to regain composure mid way through.
As Twilight Sparkle crept halfway into the room, moving her right front hoof to switch on the light. Stan got a good look at her now. Observing her now,Stan was smiling as he finally got a good look at one of the elements. Twilight Sparkle had a set of firmly tucked light purple wings on her back, which matched her fur and horn, which were also light purple. The alicorn before him also had a dark purple mane that flowed over her head matching with her tail. It was odd, a streak of more reddish pink could be seen along the mane and tail too.
The large eyes on the alicorn were a shade of dark purple. With eye lashes that were a midnight black. Under her eyes laid her muzzle which was holding a frown currently, as Twilight Sparkle's nostrils expelled air in a huff.
"Time to investigate!" her voice snapped into excitement as her frown turned into a smile of interest.
All the while, Stan just stood there gazing at her. With her butt facing him, only covered by her long tail which briefly wagged to the side showing Stan a glimpse of her marehood. On her flank was something strange, a mark of a large red star with sparkles around it. Many other ponies had a mark too.
As he grew acquainted with the nakedness of the land it didn't much bother him seeing the nicely sculpted butt before him. On the contrary Stan always thought how odd it was on how close a mare's genitalia was to a human females, he thought they'd be more equine like, but no. They were talking magical ponies, surely they had a few different features.
So am I just going to stand here gawking at this little alicorn's butt before me, or am I going to get a move on? Well I did come here for her sorta, so maybe I could tail her....but one slip up with my cloaking, and it's over. She wasn't that big for an alicorn, maybe 4 feet max on all fours so, I shouldn't worry too much about bumping into her. Either way lets wait a little while longer to see what she does. My presence should be hidden well enough to watch.
Finishing his thoughts, he stood outside the nicely lighted hallway cloaked by his magic. Peering into the storage room he was just in. He watched Twilight Sparkle as she began the 'investigation' she mentioned before.
"Well, the balcony door is open." She spoke as a gust of wind brushed up against her face. She soon squinted at something.
Moving to various spots within the room. Twilight looked over every object, spotting the small streak of moved dust on top of a trunk.
"What do we have here? Looks like someone brushed up against this trunk." Looking over at the balcony door again she shook her head.
"Probably a guard came in here, I should find out who." Sneezing after finishing her sentence.
"I should also get this room cleaned tomorrow." She retorted in annoyance. Now turning back toward the door leading into the 3 way hallway intersection she galloped. With a light pink glow forming around her horn, the glass balcony door closed shut, with a faint click of the a lock. Stan pulling his head back from the doorway, stepped away a few meters. Looking behind him, as he did so. He didn't want to bump into something or someone by accident.
As he looked forward again the door was already closed, as Twilight made her way down the hallway she originally came from. She made a sharp left turn and disappeared, Stan now reconsidered tailing her as she left too quickly. Looking straight forward, he saw the stairway down the hall. With his mind made up he decided to take this path. Leading himself upwards getting off at the next floor.
This floor had a circular room with various doors leading to places. It's decorations pretty much matched everything he saw up to this point. Not a spot of dirt could be seen anywhere in this castle or room besides that one he made his entrance. Everything was kept tidy probably by maids. Each door had a picture of something indicating where it would lead. One looked to be a bathroom, another looked to be a living room, with the last one looking like a bookshelf.
This floor must be her living quarters, probably a bedroom was located on the next floor, with a kitchen on the first floor. This place isn't that huge, but still a place I wouldn't want to find myself lost in. Maybe if I head back down to find this possible kitchen I could 'barrow' some food for later. But not right now, I wanna explore this place. The living room might be a fun start. I wanna see what wacky things this pony has collected
With a few steps toward the door with the living room picture , Stan grasped the knob and slowly opened it. The door didn't let out a creak, as it must be new. He noticed the light was on in here, but before he could think his eyes again widened in horror.
Before him now, were the Elements of Harmony, spread out across the room with board games and other such stuff you'd expect for a sleep over. They all looked over at the door which suddenly was opened. What they saw was nothing, just an open door, revealing the outside circular room. All of the Elements were there beside Twilight who was emerging from the other side of the room with a smile. Before stopping in her tracks to see another ghostly door from across the room open by itself.
"T-twilight your c-castle is haunted!" Fluttershy uttered, as she jumped up to hide behind the couch.
"Oh don't be such a scared-y pony, I'm afraid of no ghosts!" Retorted Rainbow Dash who, jumped up heading toward the adjacent vacant door with a muzzle filled of confidence.
"Tis a bit strange tho, It's not that windy out." Applejack spoke as she looked back down at her playing cards.
"What ever it was, lets not let it ruin our sleepover." Spoke Rarity, as she looked at her friends reacting to the door.
"Did something fun happen while I was gone!?" Pinkie Pie said, with just a little bit of disappointed, as she skipped back into the room with a smile.
"No you didn't miss anything Pinkie Pie, odd how another door had opened again..." Twilight spoke holding her right hoof up to her chin in a thinking gesture.
Rarity soon replied. "Another door?" as she looked toward Twilight interested now.
"Yeah, When I went to get more board games while talking to a guard, a door flew open a floor below. It also had no one near it ." Answering Rarity's question. Twilight now entering to find a place to sit down on the couch whose position was in the center of the room.
"Well I hope it's not a burglar or something." Applejack spoke exasperated, as she remember the many apple thieves over the years.
In the meantime Stan had two options. Either jumped back and hide inside the circular room or enter. Choosing probably the worst choice, he entered the room with the elements. He just narrowly got past Rainbow as she came to door swiftly. Without warning she jumped out into the circular room looking for anypony near by, but gave up closing the door behind her as she re-entered the room. Against the wall to the far left by a display cabinet, Stan stood holding his breath. Having to ramp up his spell to silence his armor and footsteps, as they would have made ample noise during his quick jolt inside.
"Ghosts or not, what ever did it, its gone. I probably scared it with my awesomeness!" Spoke Rainbow Dash as she trotted back towards her friends. Slowly crawling back out from behind the couch, Fluttershy still looked frightened.
"A-are you sure......Dash?" Her faint voice still unsure of Rainbow Dash's assessment.
"100%." Replied Rainbow Dash as her eyes lit up brightly, with now her chest being puffed out, reassuring Fluttershy.
That was too fucking close! I almost got caught. REALLY a sleep over....of all days to have one. It had to be a day when I came to Ponyville to fix my situation. Well at least they are all here in one place. I'll make my entrance soon...but for now I watch. One last thing, this light blue pony seems very full of herself...And wow, just like the picture she has a rainbow mane and tail.
"Enough with the door situation, It might just be Spike. After how bad we pranked him last sleepover. I wouldn't blame him. Anyways look at these!" Twilight spoke, as a smile went across her face.
All six ponies now moved to the center of the room, looking toward Twilight Sparkle who held a sack filled with items. Opening it, she let her friends look in, as it was filled with board games, of many varieties.
"Not a bad selection you have here, dear." Rarity spoke spotting a game that peaked her interest.
"So many games, I can't wait to try 'em all!" Let out Pinkie Pie who was bouncing up and down. She was full of energy as the night just started.
"Lets do this one, it's been forever since we played it!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, as she pulled out pony twister. Setting it down on the floor in-front of the couch. The room was pretty open near the middle, As a large circular rug spread over most of it. Against the walls were the various living room items one would come to expect. This room too had a large radiating yellow crystal above on the ceiling. It almost felt like daytime outside, when in this room.
"I remember this one." replied Fluttershy in a now normal voice, as her fear subsided. She was at ease when around her best-ist of friends.
"Not that one, You know what happened last time." Twilight laughed remembering the huge jumbled mess that were her friends. She preferred to be the spinner for the colors not wanting to get mixed up in a mass of confusion. Following her laugh, her friends also let out giggles as they remembered themselves in that hilarious situation.
Stan was just standing there in this room. Looking at these ponies having fun. It's been a while since he could lay back and relax.
Wish I could join....
As the six began to set up the game. They started to chat about some topics regarding the celebration that had just happened. In this topic, it was mainly about the food, fireworks, and people they meet. With only Applejack shifting the conversation to something more spicy as she helped the others finish smoothing out the play mat.
"Any' of yah, see some stallions ye fancy during the celebration?" blushed the orange mare.
"Not a one." replying with haste as Rarity started stretching in preparation for pony twister.
"I saw a few.....but I was too afraid to talk to any." replied Fluttershy as she sat by the mat ready to go. Her voice sounding a bit defeated.
"You should just take 'em by force Fluttershy" The light blue pegasus uttered in a playful but snarky voice.
"Oh god here you go again. Miss Stallion magnet herself, when was the last time you ever dated or bucked anyone?" Twilight said, looking directly at Rainbow Dash with a smirk.
"..I...well..."The voice of confidence was gone, as Rainbow Dash move her front hooves to hide her face. She felt pretty embarrassed now with redness appearing on her cheeks.
"Thats what I thought." laughed Twilight winking at Fluttershy.
AppleJack soon looked over at Pinkie Pie.
"What about you Pinkie?"
"I was too busy baking that day, I had so many orders, that even I was running out of steam." Pinkie replied with honesty in her voice.
"Anyways lets get to the game already!" Spoke Rainbow Dash, her confidence restored once again. She looked ready to go, as she always loved competition, even in these'friendly' based games.
As the six mares played the twister game. Stan leaned against the wall eyeing them down the whole time. A smile formed under his helmet as he was interested. He never got to hear what a girls sleepover really consisted of. Even if they were magical talking ponies.
As much fun as this is, I can't just stay here cloaked all night. I need to get out of here soon. I'm sorta stuck tho, if I open a single door...they will start to freak out again.
Letting out a tiny sigh, Stan stood quiet again, eyes fixated on the elements. At this time a good 15 minutes have passed. The various ponies were in precarious positions, as they spread out their bodies to match the colors. Stan got to see a little too much, as Rarity just not a few meters away. Had her butt up in the air toward him. Meanwhile, Fluttershy had her legs open, as they stretched apart to meet her spun colors. Luckily the others were just jumbled up to close to see anything perverse.
Once they find out I'm here, I won't mention what I saw during this little game. They'd probably beat my ass just a little bit harder. Ha.
"It's been a while since we've done an adventure hasn't it girls?" Spoke Twilight flipping the spinner for Pinkie Pies turn.
"It has, but isn't that a good thing?" the orange pony spoke before focusing back on the incoming back hoof of Pinkie Pie nearing her belly.
"I suppose so, but maybe we should hunt for that wanted creature." Replied Twilight, with her voice getting excited as she wanted to go out adventuring again. Princess life for her was starting to get dull with mountains of paper work.
"Again with those rumors.....we told you a thousand times, it was probably just some idiot dressed up scaring people." Rainbow Dash shot back, her voice playful as she was trying to get Rarity to fall over, by pressing against her.
It was at this moment Stan looked at the six with serious intent. He wanted to finally know what they thought of the incident. Along with any harsh rumors that they may have heard. He stood tall, with his arms crossed, taking a step toward them from the wall. He didn't want to miss a single word spoken.
"Well what if they arn't just rumors, my dear" The white unicorn said, as she began to teeter from Rainbow Dash's tactic. Readjusting now from her wobble, as Applejack push her steady with her left hoof.
"Thats cheating Dash!" Rarity spoke again, now annoyed.
"No it's not. The rules don't stay anything about sabotage being banned." Recanted Rainbow Dash who was accused of this same thing last time they played. Dash smiled while spread out on all fours in a comfortable and rock solid position compared to her friends.
"Hush now you two, I think the rumors may be true. Several guards gave some jarring reports regarding it." Twilight said, flicking the spinner with her hoof for Fluttershy's turn.
Jarring? What...because I knocked out a few ponies and shot down a pagasus with weak magic. I didn't harm anyone..well not badly.... Plus they accused me of being a changeling spy. While the changelings also accused me of being a Equstrian spy....oh the irony.But with this, I think it's almost time to rock 'en roll!
"Either way, it will be found and dealt with by the Celestia herself. Plus it must be real, to have a half million bit bounty placed on its capture." Applejack spoke, as she was getting a bit wobbly from playing twister for the past 30 minutes.
"Which just makes it all the more interesting, I heard it was very sentient, and spoke our language easily!" A set of two sparkles now appearing in Twilight's purple eyes.
"Ugh there she goes again.....oh my Celestia, Pinkie don't you dare!" Rainbow Dash uttered, glaring at Twilight, only to move her gaze towards Pinkie who was invading her area, almost knocking her over.
If anyone was wondering where Spike was. He was fast asleep in his little room near the top floor of the castle. He never liked Twilight's sleepovers as they'd turn into a 6v1 prank war.
Stan ready to make his move peaked over, as Fluttershy tumbled awkwardly trying to stay up, which ended up knocking everypony over in the process. She let a small giggle, much to the discomfort of her friends who were now in a dog pile. Each pony, slowly got back onto their hooves and laughed at what just happened. With the next few minutes passing now, the ponies relaxed a bit after their long twister game.
"So what's next girls!?" Spoke Pinkie, who was very satisfied by how the last game just ended.
"I HAVE AN IDEA! WE SHOULD TOTALLY MARCH INTO PONYVILLE AND CAUSE A RUCKUS!"
Stanley yell letting it loose in a funny but mocking tone. With a wave of his hand he uncloaked himself from across the room.
Each pony's heart sank as the voice echoed throughout the whole castle. Saying they were just a bit startled was an understatement. Fluttershy ran off frightened, as the others reacted by jumping back.
The heart beat of each pony went from calm to racing, as the color on their faces drained. Their hearts were beating so hard that each equine were worried, they die of a heart attack. The best part was the look of their faces, as they stared blankly at Stan.
Wide eye'd, with mouths open. They all out let out a series of screams. [This was when Fluttershy darted out of the room].
"OH THY CELESTIA's MERCY, PLEASE TAKE ME!" Screamed Twilight as her horn lit up with magic sending out a wave of energy toward Stan. With a movement of his right arm he absorbed the small energy wave with his gantlet leaving just a small scratch.
"You'll have to do better then that, and by the way, I'm here to complain about the shitty wanted picture of myself, it doesn't work for me, ya know?" His voice calm and sarcastic.
"What?!" Spoke Rarity who finally calmed down a bit, she was readying her magic to face down the sudden guest. Her large blue eyes looked serious, as her glare shot arrows at Stan from across the room.
"Twilight DID YOU INVITE THIS....this...thing here!?" Rainbow Dash spoke with serious anger gathering in her voice, as she readied herself in a fighting pose.
"I most certainly did not...looks like it used a cloaking spell or something...How I did I not detect it earlier, this already really worries me...how could it...." Interrupting Twilight, Stanley spoke.
"I HAVE a name you know!" Looking toward them in his full face helmet. He spoke with a stern and deep voice.
"We yah don't need a name....Your dat creature from wanted posters, arn' ye Stanley Mayer was it?" Applejack spoke more surprised then anything about the sudden interrupt during their scheduled sleepover.
What is up with this orange mare, one second she's speaking clear, then the next she talks like this....Anyways
"Yes, I am." Stanley replied with a shit eating smirk.
From the elements point of view. The tin armored creature standing before them looked intimidating. It matched all the rumors and news articles describing it. The creature had a holstered sword, and a full suit of armor. On the chest piece in full display was an Alicorn emblem. It only helped make more questions arise in their heads as they began to quickly brainstorm plans. He hadn't any auras on him, but he surely used magic or an invisibility potion thought Twilight going about her observation tactically.
Now in a room somewhere inside Twilight's Castle. A fun sleepover just transcended into a fierce showdown between five of the elements of harmony against the one and only human of Equestria!
Author's Note
I planned on making this a bit longer, but some things came up. What do you think Stanley should do next . Should he reason with them? Fight? Something else?
Anyways I hope you all enjoyed! This was blast to make!
Til, next time everyone.
