The Kings of Clopton

Chapter One: A New Beginning

“Holy bucking shit dude look at that pink one!” Said a dark blue unicorn stallion off in the distance, looking through his binoculars.

“Nah bro, I’m, checkin' out the orange one.” Gurgled a powerful brown stallion looking through his glass of Kool-Aid.

“Y’all negronies are crazy. It’s all bout that cyan one with the rainbow mane.” Stated a crimson colored pegasus, as he nudged his large brown colored friend. The three stallions started their trot to the town from their new "stalkin" bush.

"I can't believe we got lucky enough to watch three hot mares play some hoofball, did you see those flanks bro?!" Stated the unicorn stallion.

"Hush up foo, we're comin' up on the targets." Scolded the large brown stallion as they approached the three mares.

"I dunno guys, I don't really cope well with rejection..." whimpered the crimson colored pegasus.

"That's not what you were sayin' when we started stalkin' em', now was it?" Shot the unicorn stallion.

"That was then, and this is now, I haven't actually talked to a mare for days ever since we left Clopton." Replied the pegasus stallion.

"Ohhh nooo! We got a badass over here!" Snickered the earth pony stallion.

"You try to stay calm while some huge negrony mare's yellin at ya, oh that's right, you didn't stay calm, you ran off cryin' for few days." Retorted the pegasus.

"That was my first marefriend you asshole! And plus that bitch spit in my eye." Whispered the earth pony stallion.

"Both of you, shut the buck up, we're comin' up on em now." stated the unicorn stallion.

The pegasus then sat down and refused to move any further.

"What the buck is wrong with you, don't you wanna score some tail?" Questioned the Earth Pony.

"I'm not ready to go back out there, and I never will be." whimpered the pegasus

"If you don't move, your gonna have to shit sideways after my hooves are done wit ya." The earth pony bellowed angrily. The pegasus had a worried look on his face, as he had been the victim of the earth pony's rage before, but the unicorn was sure that said beating would never happen, they were all "Bros" to the end, especially since the beating would probably attract the mares nearby.

"Oh, shut the buck up, we all know your all talk and no game." Retorted the unicorn. The earth pony's eyes flashed a hint of rage. The earth pony walked a little closer to the unicorn, and began to stare him down, he said,

"This is mares we're talkin' bout, and I take my mares VERY seriously, plus you really don't wanna challenge me, do ya?" Snorted the earth pony. The unicorn showed a flicker of fear, but was quickly replaced with him throwing the first punch, landing a hit on the Earth pony straight in the jaw. The earth pony got up, inspected his new wound, and charged faster than a dashing rainbow at the unicorn. The earth pony tackled the unicorn to the ground, quickly punching him in rapid succession with his large hooves. The pegasus merely watched in fear, hoping that he wouldn't be next, and to traumatized to help his unicorn friend. Just as the earth pony was about to land a hit on the unicorns face, they heard the distinct call of

a mare.

"Waht in tarnation' is goin' on here!?" bellowed the orange earth pony mare, with a deep southern accent. The stallions looked up to see the distinct stare of an orange mare with a blonde mane, who was also wearing a Stetson cowboy hat, a determined looking cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane, and the intrigued smiling face of a creepy all pink earth pony mare, with a dark pink mane.

"Oh... well ya see..." The stallion pegasus began, but was abruptly cut off by the unicorn stallion, "You see, this buckhole here thought it would be fun to start wailin' on me like a punchin' bag." The mares' gaze averted to the now aggravated and embarrassed earth pony stallion.

"Well, you see here, we just came to this town and as we were walkin' in, I made a comment on how some certain orange pony looked pretty strong and independent, when my buckhole friend here made a few "uncivilized" comments, I don't know bout these two, but my pa always said that you should stand up for a mare's honor, and I guess I got a little carried away."

The now slightly blushing and embarrassed earth pony mare seemed to calm down at that, however, her cyan pegasus friend seemed aggravated at the now trembling pegasus stallion.

"And what kinda friend are you!? Just watching as your two friends go at it and not even TRY to stop em!?" Shouted the cyan pegasus, pointing at the pegasus stallion.

"Well... I... Um... You see...." The pegasus stallion started, but was blatantly interrupted by the cyan mare.

"I mean honestly, a person like that doesn't deserve friends if he doesn't know how to stick up for em!" Blurted out the cyan mare, to the now sniffling stallion.

"Rainbow! Don't ya think ya'll er' bein' a bit harsh?" Said the once again enraged orange mare, staring daggers at her friend.

"Hey! Don't look at me like that Applejack I'm just callin' it how I see it! But yeah, what do you have to say for yourself?!" yelled "Rainbow" once again at the poor pegasus stallion.

"Helicopter?" Blurted out the pegasus. However, his statement seemingly diffused the situation, all looks of rage now turning to ones of bewilderment.

"Waht in tarnation' is a heli-cop-toor?" Questioned "Applejack".

"Just ignore em', he tends to blurt things out at times, ya get used to it," Stated the black stallion, "but anyhow, nice ta meet ya Applejack." He then proceeded to raise his hoof for a hoofshake. Applejack's bewildered look immediately changed to a large smile as she then proceeded to give the stallion the strongest hoofshake he had ever received before.

"Nice ta meet ya too partner, waht's yer name?" Asked Applejack. (Insert character creation screen here hehe.)

"My name's Ulfric Stronghoof, pleased to meet ya ma'am" The stallion then proceeded to give a curt bow.

"Now we won't be havin any of that, you just call me Applejack, none of this Miss business ya hear?" Stated Applejack

"Certainly Mi... Applejack." The stallion allowed  a smile to escape his lips

"Now Rainbow, why don't ya'll go ahead and introduced yerself?" Applejack asked Rainbow, who proceeded to fly off in a huff, to which Applejack sighed.

"That one can be a handful at times, but anyway, this ere' is Pinkie....," The mare stopped, noticing that "Pinkie" was no longer there. "Well um, never mind that un, Ah'm certain we'll see ere' again soon!" Applejack blurted. "But anyhow, who migh' you two beh?" Applejack questioned at the unicorn and pegasus stallions. The unicorn proudly stood tall, despite just being beaten, and began to speak.

"Well I'm Allegro Aftershock, but my friends just call me "Shock"." The unicorn proudly stated. The pegasus then spoke up, albeit it being timidly.

"I'm... Traz, nothing that special." The pegasus stated while staring at the ground beneath him.

"Well it's nice ta meet ya'll, like I said, Ah'm Applejack and I run Sweet Apple Acres over yonder," She waved a hoof suggestively in the south. "If ya'll ever need anything apple related, don't hesitate to come by, we'll fix ya right up!" The mare proudly stated. Strong Hoof could tell when someone was bluffing, and he could tell by this mare's boasting that they did have some mighty fine apple products, and he made a mental note to stop by there if he ever needed anything apple related.

"The pleasure is ours Applejack, would you mind giving us the grand tour of this town named....?" The stallion leaned slightly forward as he spoke, as if indicating he had absolutely no idea where he was.

"Ya'll are in Ponyville, the nicest little town you'll ever find in Equestria!" Applejack once again boasted.

"Ponyville, REALLY ಠ_ಠ ?" Questioned Shock, oblivious of his rudeness.

"Yes, Ponyville." Applejack spoke through gritted teeth, obviously annoyed at the unicorn's statement. Traz proceeded to nudge Shock, whispering.

"Shock, could you maybe be a little more polite maybe?" Traz stated. Shock brushed off the statement, simply shrugging and looking as if he gave zero bucks about Traz's opinion.

"Well anyhow, It'd be mah pleasure to show ya'll around, buh I got to get back to the farm soon, why don't weh go find mah friend Twilight, she loves helping out the new ponyfolk." Applejack said, pointing further into the town.

"Sound good to me Applejack, lead the way!" Said Stronghoof.

They began their walk into the center of Ponyville, Applejack pointing out land marks and important areas of the town as they went, however, Ulfric's attention was glued to something else in front of him as they walked, he said to himself before snapping out of his trance.

"DAT FLANK."
