Hoofman was prepared for StallionForce’s tour. He had a list of tour stops, and what better place to start than in Hong Trot? Hoofman consulted the others.

“We’e going to be launching our tour very soon, I have a list of all the places we’re going to stop.”

“We’re bringing my black drumset,” Didier stated.

“So, could we practice my basslines?” Adrian said.

“Very well, we’ll give you a minute to look over the music,” Hoofman said.

“This tour is going to be bucking awesome!” ZP said, though he generally said that for everything.

Adrian trotted off to practice his basslines. Hoofman used his telekinesis to load everything into their storage while he waited for the taxi. When Adrian stopped practicing, he did it just in time, as the taxi had arrived.

“I’m ready!” He said. With that, StallionForce hopped into the taxi and went to their touring venue.

StallionForce arrived at the Hong Trot Coliseum and Hoofman took all of their instruments out from their storage, a secondary taxi. They stood backstage while ZP went out to rile up the crowd. They could hear him from backstage.

“Who’s ready to rock!” ZP coaxed, the entire crowd went wild,”Because we are going to bucking rock! Get ready for some shit everypony! We are StallionForce, here for Valley of the Damned!”

“That’s our cue,” Hoofman said.

“You don’t say,” Sam said under his breath.

Hoofman, Vadim, Adrian, Didier, and Sam stepped onto the stage, Hoofman gave instruments to all of them and they waited for the cue.

“Our first song we’re performing tonight is Black Winter Night!” ZP said.

The crowd went wild, so this is what it feels like, Hoofman thought, being in the spotlight. StallionForce launched into the song.

The crowd wasn’t particularly impressive, only about a fourth of the seats were filled, but nevertheless, it was a crowd, and they were going to listen. Hoofman’s hooves were flying across his strings, trading off riffs and solos with Sam. Vadim had tuned his keyboard just right, his hooves slid over the keys as he soared above the stage. ZP’s melodic vocals, backed by the rest of the band were soaring, Adrian was strumming up and down ferociously on his black bass. All this while Didier went nuts on his kit, hitting the cymbals so fast that Hoofman was surprised they didn’t break.

Needless to say, StallionForce put on a great show. When the ending of Black Winter Night arose, Hoofman strummed the final chord and ZP said,”We’ll be back in a couple minutes, we’re going to bucking rock!”

Hoofman toggled the lights of the stage off, plunging the coliseum into darkness. He murmured,”Vadim, we need a piano for When Dragons Rule, and acoustic guitars for Disciples of Canterlot, could you get them?”

Vadim nodded and took them from backstage, Hoofman carefully placed the piano in the right spot, and carried the acoustic guitars still.”We went over this,” Hoofman said,”Vadim, When Dragons Rule is next, you’re singing the intro alright?”

Vadim nodded again, and Hoofman took the guitars, as well as the rest of StallionForce, backstage. He flicked the spotlight on and focused on Vadim, alone on the piano.

“Our next song will be When Dragons Rule,” with none of the excitement that ZP riled up the crowd with. The ponies in the crowd were not comprehending this, where was the unicorn they knew so well? Then, Vadim started playing his piano.

He was playing a slower version of the Heart of a Dragon’s intro, and singing the lyrics. The crowd was entranced by this song, a bit in, a guitar chord rang out across the coliseum, and StallionForce leaped on the stage, instruments in hand, Hoofman again, gave everypony their instruments.

“In a land where dragons rule!” The entire band sang, and the song launched into a normal StallionForce song. When the song ended, ZP again addressed the crowd with his usual excitement.

“That is a damn good show so far! While on the topic of dragons, we’ll start up out next song! Get ready for our regularly scheduled damn heavy metal, we’re moving on to Heart of a Dragon!”

StallionForce went into Heart of a Dragon. Afterwards, ZP said,”That was Heart of a Dragon! Next up, Disciples of bucking Canterlot!”

Hoofman pulled the acoustic guitars on stage and started playing with Sam, his electric guitar, not the acoustics yet.

Once the band hit the acoustic guitar solo, Adrian slid his hoof down the bass and Hoofman once again used his magical prowess to turn the lights off. A spotlight settled on Sam and Hoofman, sitting down strangely, not on all fours, but on their back legs, while their front hooves held their guitars. Sam started strumming on his acoustic guitar and Hoofman whipped out his electric and provided the rhythm. Afterwards, Hoofman flicked the lights on again.

When Disciples of Canterlot was finished, ZP decided to give the crowd one more song.

“Do you want some more?” ZP said, the crowd shouted in agreement.”Great, now our final song! Evening Star! We have Hoofman Li on guitar, Sam Trotman also on guitar, Vadim Pruzhanov on keyboards, Adrian Lambert on bass, and Didier Almouzni on drums, I am ZP Theart, and this has been a bucking good night!”

They played Evening Star, when the solo arose with Hoofman, Sam, and Vadim all playing separate parts. The spotlight centered on those ponies, and they played their hearts out. Finally, the concert was over.

“I really liked how that turned out!” Hoofman said,”Next up, we’re going to Equestria, we’e holding a show in Ponyville.”

StallionForce managed to get a blimp, this was for traveling over oceans. Soon, they arrived in Ponyville.

“We’re going to perform here,” Hoofman said.

“Thank you Captain Obvious,” Sam said.

“Anyways,” Hoofman continued, shooting a look at Sam, followed, by him pointing his hoof at a place on the map,”we’re going to perform on this stage.”

So they did, and played similar songs. They only had 8 for Celestia’s sake. However, what surprised them was the aftermath of the concert. A cyan pegasus mare with a rainbow mane almost literally crashed into StallionForce.

“That was awesome!” She said,”Twilight Sparkle told me about this band, she’s always reading up on new faces, so I came to this show!”

“Who are you?” Sam said,”Also, watch where your bucking going next time.”

“You haven’t heard of me? I’m Rainbow Dash,” she said with confidence, “Wonderbolt? World-saver? Element of loyalty?”

“I’m afraid not,” Vadim put in,”We’e from far away, nice meeting you.”

“Can I have an autograph?” Rainbow Dash said.

“I suppose so,” Didier said.

Hoofman got out a pen and held it in his telekinesis,”Where do you want us to sign?” He asked.

“On this paper,” Rainbow replied, getting out a piece of paper.

Hoofman and the rest of StallionForce signed. Rainbow Dash them flew off.

“That was something else,” Hoofman said.

“At least we have a fan, right?” Adrian said.

StallionForce shrugged, they had to continue the tour anyway.

The rest of the tour went similarly, nothing surprising happened. They ended the tour in Japone.

“Alright everypony!” ZP said,”We’re here to play some - StallionForce for you! Starting with our title track Valley of the Damned!”

While StallionForce was tired out from the tour, they prevailed. The show in Japone was just as high-octane as the first one in Hong Trot. ZP’s vocals were high energy as well as everypony else’s musicianship.

“You are a great bucking crowd Japone! Next up, Disciples of Canterlot!”

Vadim played his elevator music-esque solos super well, and the acoustic work was perhaps even better than the first live show.

The rest of the concert went exactly the same with different songs. After they had finished, StallionForce lounged backstage.

“Time to go back,” Hoofman said.

“This tour was so fun!” Adrian added,”I’m joining StallionForce permanently!”

“Welcome!” Said Vadim, jumping and accosting Adrian.

So, StallionForce went back to Hong Trot, but, the visions of a new album were just beginning.

Author's Note

Wrote this all in one sitting, I have to say the Hong Trot tour was super fun to write, I’m glad I’m going to write about more tours like that.

Also, Rainbow Dash is in this chapter, did I write her in character? Please tell me, if you don’t mind.

Enjoy everypony!

Tour’s so short because I don’t know where they stopped. Also, I took Equestria as North America, specifically the USA.

((I thought this would be shorter, I’m glad I was wrong.))
