Caught Red Hooved

"Why would he take the castle, Princess?" Twilight asked her mentor.

"I do not know."

"I might. Does the castle have a vault of treasures mainly gems and jewels."

"The Canterlot Mines!" Twilight shouted.

"Can he find these mines?"

"No only a select few even know they exist." The Princess stated.

"Hmm that buys us some time, but if he does somehow find the location is there any security protocols to keep him out?"

"Yes he needs a key." Celestia reached around her neck and grabbed a chain from her saddlebag.

"A key, no offense Princess but that's a little under thought. Humans lock our doors with atleast two keys. and our most valuable items well we use the utmost security."

"Like your briefcase." Fluttershy said quietly.

"Yes Fluttershy like my briefcase for anyone to open it they need the passcode and my eye."

"Would somepony really take your eye?" Fluttershy asked scared. "Why."

"Some humans are sick minded."

Static emitted from the case. "I couldn't agree more, Red." The face from the other file appeared on the monitor.

"Tobias hello what happened do you know where I am?"

"Yeah you're in Equestria, Ponyville to be exact. Are you okay man I've been trying to reach you for a month."

"A month."

"You'd be dead if you weren't so paranoid, those books you carry with you saved your ass."

"He's right Red." Twilight said. "There have been thousands of humans but they were soldiers, or fighters, but never medics."

"So you never learned human anatomy."

"No." Twilight rersponded.

"Well I'm glad to help."

"Red how are you feeling." Tobias asked.

"Not really good, Etheres is here and he's captured the castle."

"He's captured Canterlot?" His voice faded in and out of static. "L..sing ...nal ....group l..ter.

"Damn."

"Don't worry Red." Fluttershy held out her hoof.

"I'm not worried about him." Red grabbed her hoof. "I'm worried about us." He took a deep breath. "Could I have some time alone to think?"

"Of course you may come My Little Ponies let's leave him to his thoughts." Celestia led the six out the door, and shut it behind them.

"What happened?"
