Logbook
"It's been nearly a year since I acquired these powers. I'm still trying to master how to use them properly without damaging my clothes. The king said that once I've mastered it, my plan will be set in motion. So for now, I just wait... wait until I can get more things done and out of the way. But boy, I sure do miss my mum. She would probably be making stew for dinner. Ah, well... I'm running out of pages. This is Patrick, signing off on February 10th."

"Sir! The rest... they're all dead! Those knights... they're coming!" A thief exclaimed, pulling his hood off as he tossed the sword onto the ground next to a bag full of money. The boss thief scoffed at the low-ranked burglar as he retrieved his axe from the wall, along with a crossbow.

"It's not over unless I say it's over!" the boss declared, kicking some gold over to the thief, accidentally hitting his face with a coin. "Ah... okay then, sir! I'll go get the others!" the lowly thief said, hastily running back up to the platform. However, he was caught off guard as a hand broke through and pulled him in. His screams alarmed the rest of the thieves in the room, causing them to rise and draw their swords, while a deep male voice erupted in laughter.

"Bwa ha ha ha! That fool didn't see that coming!"

"Just remember to keep your cool this time. I always hated your laughing..."

"Keep calm, friends. This wall is in the way."

"Then let me break it?"

"Fine... and quickly, hurry!"

"Ha! Here comes the blacksmith!"

The wall cracked, causing the group of thieves to step back further. The boss adjusted his grip on his axe as the wall cracked even more. Soon, the wall was blasted open, and six knights, each clad in different colors, strode in. "Ah... there you all are... do you believe your crimes can't be forgiven?" The knight spoke, adorned in a simple knight's armor with blue overalls covering half of his chest down to his legs, where his orange shoes stood out. He lifted his axe, pointing it at the boss thief before chuckling lightly.

"Hmmm..." The knight standing next to the orange one grunted. He wore a half-robe armor plated set, his half helm covering his mouth and nose, revealing his white hair and simple blue eyes as he scanned the room, drawing his two swords. "Easy, Blue... don't get too riled up!" The green knight interjected, adjusting his poncho around his arm. He wore less armor but sported a heavy gauntlet fist wielding a simple sword. A snake made of green power rested on his shoulder, eyeing the room and its surroundings.

"Now, focus everyone... we have business to attend to," the knight said, adjusting his darker red hood. Much like the others, this knight brandished a one-handed mace sparking with red energy. His eyes glowed through the helm, electricity coursing through. "Yeah, let's stop them!" The much smaller knight exclaimed, lifting a gauntlet in the air. Clad in a pink set adorned with hearts, he wielded a mace resembling a lollipop.

"Da! I've been waiting too long now, my hammer hand is ready for pounding!" the very tall purple knight declared. Towering over his allies, his muscular frame spoke volumes. His hammer rested firmly in his two hands as he laughed, watching the thieves tremble.

Just before any action was taken, the orange knight stepped forward, clearing his throat. "Listen, all of you! You're all thieves, yes? Well, your crime of raiding a small town has caught our attention!" he announced, pulling out a scroll displaying a list of names, one of which was circled, eliciting a scoff from the boss.

"So, what? You wanna turn us in?" the boss retorted before snapping his fingers. A group of barbarians soon rushed out, joining the thieves. The orange knight pulled the scroll back, chuckling lightly. "Just say I didn't warn you. Green, the door?" he chuckled. "Sealed. Nowhere for them to escape," the green knight affirmed.

"Alright, Castle Crashers, let's get dangerous! Pink, the music?" the orange knight instructed, gesturing to the pink knight holding a boombox. With a giggle, the pink knight placed his mace down and began rummaging for a tape. "Oh, I know it's here somewhere... Ah, maybe this!" the pink knight exclaimed, playing a romantic song. "Oh no, a good one, but not that one," he remarked, then played another one. "Oh, come on!" The red one groans

"Every time..." Green deadpanned

"Sorry, sorry... Ah-ha! I got it!" the pink knight exclaimed, putting the tape in the boombox and cheered when their theme song played. The Orange one steps forward and chuckles adjusting his axe "Good... Castle Crashers? CRASH!"

CASTLE CRASHERS ELEMENTS OF MAGIC

Patrick sighed as another day of fighting crooks came to a successful end. The group each carried a bag of coins on their backs as they made their way to the village's bank. Once it came into view, they all put on their noble act and began marching into the city.

"Oh! Hey, everyone, they're back!" a peasant shouted out, and soon groups of people ran over, surrounding the knights and cheering for them. Maintaining their stern march, they walked up to the bank and dropped the gold in front of it. They watched as the guards walked up and bowed before taking the bags inside.

"Next time, try not to leave the bank door open, please?" Patrick said as the guards all saluted him and returned to their posts. Gabriel grumbled a bit as they all turned to leave the village for the kingdom. He popped his neck as they walked back into the forest. "I hate how dumb those people are," he said, the rest all nodding along with him.

"They don't even know how to tie a shoe!" Steven remarked as he started petting his snake. Rai scoffed as he wiped some dust off his jacket. "That's what happens when we find a mission to do." Indeed, the dark mage was gone, and so the noble six knights were left to do simple tasks... help the poor.

They didn't hate helping, but after a couple of years, it started to get annoying. They were knights, for goodness' sake! They were meant to do real jobs like crashing evil castles, saving princesses, or even witnessing animals scare themselves to death! But now, three years after the invasion, the king had put them on stupid jobs.

"I can't say no to the cakes they give us!" Tim said, pulling his helm up a bit to nibble on the cake. Patrick groaned, rubbing his helmet. "Because that's all they pay us to do, Tim... stupid cakes!" He said, throwing the cake into the woods, hitting a nest of baby birds. "When can we get a real mission, team?" Patrick asked.

"I don't know..." Gabriel admitted.

"Hmm!" Zane grunted.

"Maybe we could—"

"Tim, I swear if you say 'build a box fort' again, I'll crush your skull," Rai snapped at the pink knight before he groaned again, seeing the kingdom in sight. Patrick would have to talk to the king for some "better jobs" and hopefully end his contract as a knight rather well. "Well, I suggest you all return to your barracks after the meeting with the king," Patrick said before they arrived at the door where a gray knight looked down at them. "Excuse me," Patrick said to the gray one, "we're returning from our—"

"Are you dead?" the gray one shouted, making the six raise their brows at the knight. "What?" Patrick asked. "How do I know you're not dead—"

"Oh, Jones! Shut up!" Captain Hawkmoon exclaimed, banging on the top of the rookie's head before he was thrown off the wall into a pile of hay. The gray knight then opened his faceplate and waved at the six. "Welcome back, sirs! Sorry about the rookie," he said before lowering the drawbridge for them. As they entered, Hawkmoon walked next to the group, chuckling nervously. "So, back from your quest, sir?" he asked.

"Yes, I thought you would be training your men?" Patrick said, making Hawkmoon grumble a bit. "Well, after the barbarian king was defeated, the king wanted me in charge and the men! But I'm just as green as they are!" he whined.

"Really? Huh... what's the problem?" Steven asked. "It's the montage music! We can't find a good one to play!"Hawkmoon said, tugging on Steven's poncho. "We can't work out without the music montage!" he cried before Patrick rubbed his chin. "Well, maybe try this tape," Tim suggested, pulling out the boombox and handing it to Hawkmoon along with a tape. "War by Edwin Starr?" he asked the pink knight. "Yep, try it with them!" Tim said, following the captain over to the troops. The rest all stood and watched as the music began playing. The troops took a stance as the song played.

The group of troops all began marching around the training area, following the rhythm of the music. Hawkmoon shook Tim's hand before joining his platoon in the march. Tim dusted his hands before giggling, watching as the group made their way to the castle. "Yes... okay then... yeah, yeah, that's all good. Have a good one," the king muttered, then threw his phone to the side. The guards around him seemed either bored or tired of being around. But once the Castle Crashers all entered, they took their positions and glared at the six knights' return.

"Ah! You all have returned, good!" the king said, hopping off his chair and onto a guard's back, who then escorted the group to the map room. Once inside, the king hopped off the guard's back and walked over to the map. He pointed at a few things. "Good thing you returned so soon, my nobles. We just got word from more towns with problems," the king said. "Oh, I see," Patrick said, frowning at the map before the king hit him on the top of his head with his cane. "Ah, the flubber duck! What was that for?" Patrick exclaimed, making the group laugh at his curse of not saying bad words.

"I did that so I could laugh!" the king said before he burst into laughter. Patrick grumbled a bit as the king returned to the map. "These towns are in danger and seek the mighty Castle Crashers!" the king declared, lifting a fist in the air.

"Hmph!" Zane grumbled, making the king look over to him. "More like babysitters," Rai said, crossing his arms. The king looked at his nobles and frowned. "Ah, come on! What's the worst that can happen?" the king said, making the six just stare at him with a frown. "Sir, if I may speak?" Gabriel asked.

"You may," the king waved a hand.

"THIS JOB IS FLIPPING STUPID!" the blacksmith shouted as he stomped a foot on the ground, making it rumble a bit. "Don't talk to your king like that! These jobs are meant to protect the people!" the king said, pointing at the map. "Sir, this is not a bounty board... This is a list of lost pets! They just put pictures of people on here," Rai said, pointing at a clear image of a man on a lost pet page.

"Ah... well, there is always a burglar problem, those are real!" the king said. "Sir, all the villagers have more than enough guards to watch over them, but—" Steven stopped abruptly and quickly led the group close to the armory. "Hey!" he shouted to the row of guards as they all stood in line, seeing the group. "How many assholes do we have on this ship?" he quoted.

"YO!" More than half of the guards raised their hands. "Well, never question why they joined, am I right?" the king said before Patrick walked up with a frown again. "Sir... we are knights meant to do real jobs! And the dark mage is still out there with his necromancer, and what do we do? Nothing!" the leader said before he looked at the group and nodded this time.

"Sir... I wish for my time as a noble is done... but I wish to keep my armor and weapons and fight to keep this kingdom safe!" he said before feeling his fire energy burn up a bit. "But... I can't... keep my anger from growing if... I. DON'T. FIND. THEM!" he shouted before his flames burst out all around him. The king's guards soon all walked out and pointed their spears at the six knights. However, they stopped as the king stood back on his chair, his frown returning, but this time with a more stern look.

"Well then, if that's the case... knights! I hereby... banish you all!" the king declared, making all six of them widen their eyes. "WHAT!" they all shouted (except for Zane, of course), as the king snapped his fingers and his two large cats appeared, growling at the group.

"You're right... These jobs are useless. But I formed your group to stop the mage when he was still around. Now, I don't need you... Patrick? Your contract is done. You can keep the weapons and armor... but you don't matter to me anymore," the king said as more guards walked out with bows. "Now... get out. I have a speech I need to make now," he said before turning to the door, leaving the six escorted out to their barracks.

"This is bull honky!"

"We have our rights!"

"The king is a big meanie!"

"You're lucky I don't use my hammer on you all!"

"Hmmm!"

"Rat bastards!"

Soon, all six of the guards were then kicked out of the kingdom into a pile of mud. They had it all planned... but this was too unexpected. Now no longer nobles. What can they do now? Patrick shouted before he took his helm off. He looked over to the drawbridge, raised back up, leaving the group now officially banished.

"Welp, so much for finishing the contract now," Patrick muttered. He raised a hand up, charging a fireball, but stopped. Instead, he threw it at a tree and kicked the mud, storming off into the forest. The rest all wiped the mud off and soon got up, following their leader or... friend? "Patrick, wait up!" Tim said as the man stopped on the path, looking back at the group. He smiled a little before he put his helmet on the ground and sat. The rest did the same, taking their helmet off. The standard soldier order was to keep a buzzed cut, so not much of a difference to them. However, for Gabriel, he was not a true soldier but a blacksmith, so he had an average trimmed beard and long hair tied up into a bun.

"It's not fair! We've worked our butts off for this kingdom, and now we're just thrown away like that?" Patrick asked as he lifted his hand, a small fire showing up. He closed his hand, killing the small flame, but opened it back up, and the flame stayed. Steven's snake soon appeared from his magic and rubbed his chin. Tim was holding a pillow of a penguin and bunny. Rai was just showing off his magic eye. Zane also showed off his magic hands. And Gabriel just rubbed his beard. "We all still have our powers. Why not use them for good?" Patrick asked before an idea clicked in his mind.

"I've got an idea, mates!" he said before grabbing his helm, putting it on, and turning around. "I am Patrick the Fire Knight, leader of the Castle Crashers! We find evil and take care of it our OWN way!" he declared, putting his arms on his side. The others looked at each other before Steven soon caught on. He pulled his snake back onto his shoulder and put the helmet on. "I am Steven the Acid Knight, second in command of the Castle Crashers! We have our own way of saving lives!" he said, standing close to Patrick now. Zane followed closely, putting his half helm back on and standing next to the two, raising a fist.

"HA!" Zane roared. "And I am Rai the Lightning Knight! I keep all of our armor well-suited for the Castle Crashers. We work together our own way!" Rai said, joining in. "I am Gabriel Ironhide, The Blacksmith Knight! I build and repair all weapons for my comrades! I build them my OWN WAY! HA!" Gabriel laughed, clapping his hands together.

"I'm Tim the Rainbow Fun Super Duper Cool Knight! I keep the mood always happy for the Castle Crashers. I make my jokes my own way!" He giggled as the rest all looked at each other and shrugged before they all took their weapons out and cheered. "Castle Crashers forever!" And soon, a beam of light showered all around them before they all laughed as they walked down the path. "Okay team! We're going to make a base of operations, and once then, we will find the dark mage and put an end to him and his necromancer!" Patrick said as they all soon walked deeper into the forest.

Not too far away, a shadowy figure with wings sat in the tree, watching the six idiots leave. Soon, a green and red-hooded man flopped on the ground as a tall, gray-armored man landed next to him. "They're alone now, master..." the Necromancer said, crossing his arms and looking down at his tiny ruler. "Good, good! Now we can finally set my plans in motion. This world is no longer of use to me, Nel. We must find a new one!" the Dark Mage said, rubbing his dark hands together.

"Like what? We have no army," the Necromancer said. "Soon, my friend, soon," the Dark Mage said before he slowly started laughing, the darkness enveloping them both until only their eyes were visible.

Chapter 1 Magic

Logbook
“Sounds like an exciting adventure ahead! BattleBlock Theater must be a blast. Keeping calm on the road trip is a wise move, especially with such anticipation. It's great that you're thinking about the team's mood, including Zane's. Everyone has their reasons for how they express themselves. Safe travels and have a fantastic time at BattleBlock Theater! This is Tim, Pink knight of the Castle Crashers. Signing off on July 20th”

"I don't know, girls..." a purple pony unicorn said as the group of ponies trotted down inside a forest. Their hunt for the Nightmare Princess continued, and they had no clue what to do next. "Are you sure you know where to go, Twilight?" a rainbow-maned pony said, flapping her wings as the purple pony named Twilight turned around to look at the others. "I'm sure. If we can find Nightmare Moon soon, we can save Equestria!" Twilight said before turning around again.

"HahahaHAHAHA!" a male voice laughed as the group all saw two creatures fly by, making the six ponies all gasp as they flew over the trees. One was in what looked to be heavy armor of some kind, surprising to see that the wings could hold all that armor and the passenger too. The other one looked smaller but had what looked to be a robe with the colors of green and red and glowing yellow eyes, indicating that he was the source of the laughter. They dashed out of the woods, leaving the six ponies all standing still in shock.

"Sweet Celestia, what was that?" a white unicorn said before the sounds of loud steps made the ponies all quickly hop into bushes as one? No... six similar things all ran out with armor on, two of them having different colors. They could be dangerous.

"Where in the duck's name is that wizard!" a male voice said, "This forest... there's something not right about it." Twilight eye the six, studying that they were speaking Equestrian. The orange one stepped up, lifting a hand up, showing fire on his hand. "Keep close! And make sure Tim is alright!" the orange one ordered the others, "We need to find that wizard before he slips away," another male voice said as a huge purple one picked the small pink one up on his shoulder. Twilight then spotted the familiar blue smoke dust off of the group of creatures, making the mare know what to do next. She stepped out of the bush, hearing the others mutter but soon followed suit as a spell was charged. "Okay. I think if we continue moving this way, we might be able to--"

"LOOK OUT!"

CASTLE CRASHERS ELEMENTS OF MAGIC

It had been a year since the knights were no longer nobles. At first, it wasn't hard for them, but once they encountered trouble looking for the evil mage, it led to their separation. The group still worked together, but the thrill of fighting crime was not the same.

Now, they did it for themselves, not for the kingdom. Even then, the crime wasn't too bad for them. They stopped thieves and embarked on rescue missions as well. However, it led the group to realize that the mage may actually be gone, and Patrick was just scared to leave loose ends unattended.

Tim walked down the path, adorned in his armor, on patrol with Rai, hoping to find some peasants in need of help. But with no avail, they found nothing. "Boy... Patrick is not going to be happy, is he?" Tim sighed.

"Don't know. But we will find something, I know it! Mace brother," Rai said, making Tim smile under his helmet as they bumped their maces together. Tim and Rai had known each other for years before becoming Castle Crashers. They were lucky to have been in the same spot with elemental powers. But it was also odd, since they apparently all knew each other before the group was even a thing.

"We're coming close to the end of our path," Rai said, pulling out a map. Tim still held his lollipop mace out as he eyed the trees and rocks. Some bandits had tried to rob them, but to put it shortly, they had been dealt with. The path was soon breaking into a proper dirt road now. Just not too far, and they would be able to see a village soon.

"You think the mage is dead?" Tim asked, making the red knight lower his map as he looked at the man with disbelief. "Of course not! He is still out there. Why, you think otherwise?" Rai said, putting the map away. Tim shook his head, remembering the fight as clear as day. He also remembered that the necromancer really left a number on Zane too.

"I'm thinking more about that necromancer guy; he made Zane become a different guy," Tim said, looking over to his best friend. Rai nodded at that, being the one to witness the fight. He felt his arm itch above his neck where a scar sat behind his armor. He rubbed it lightly as he then closed his eyes, recalling that image. Zane being held by the throat by the necromancer, his eyes shining with red... Rai remembered the one thing he said that made Zane become a beast of hate.

"You will die... just like your brother..."

"RRRAAAA!"

Rai cringed at the scream of his friend. The necromancer knew that day to never piss off the snow... or else the blizzard would devour them whole. "You're right," Rai said, adjusting his hoodie armor. Something that evil had to be sure was gone forever.

As they reached the end, Tim noticed a cave not too far from the edge. He couldn't see inside due to the darkness, which meant it was either a deep cave or an abandoned mine. But as they slowly approached it, two shadows dashed out, yelling like madmen and wielding swords. The knights both pulled their maces out and bumped against each other before they also dashed forward, lifting their maces up high. Flinging the mace down, the figure dodged to the left but felt a soft thing touch its face.

A penguin looked up at the figure before it chirped and then held the figure's leg as it soon exploded. Rai's mace impacted the other figure's head, killing it instantly. The two looked down at the bodies and felt their blood go cold. These two didn't have the guts to try and kill; they were determined. The familiar color coating of robes made the two knights look at each other and back at the bodies.

"Dark Cultists? He is here!" Tim said, looking at the cave and noting the banner of the dark mage's entrance. "What do we do now?" Tim asked. Rai nodded along with the pink knight as he pulled out the map.

"We need to notify Patrick; he will be glad to find this," Rai said, turning around and pulling out a flare. "Steven worked hard on these; let's hope it's not a waste." He then turned and snapped as the flare was activated and sent flying into the air. Rai and Tim both looked back at the cave, noting more Cultists were approaching. The two took their stance and soon dashed forward, their elemental powers glowing bright in their eyes.

Gabriel hummed a tune from his homeland as he pulled out some swords and surveyed his handiwork. The man had been building weapons for hours. But as he lifted his smaller hammer, he slapped it against the metal before noticing the rune carved in it. He grabbed his big hammer and lifted it up high before shouting, throwing it down as sparks danced through the air. The blade stood tall in its glory, showing off its unique style. "100578," the blacksmith muttered before he grabbed leather and wrapped it around the weapon. He then threw the weapon up high, and unexpectedly, a tongue shot out and ate the blade whole.

"Forgor! You finally are awake!" the smith said, putting his hammer down and walking to his pet deer frog. "Ribbit," the lazy beast murmured as it was scratched on the leg. It soon puffed into black smoke, now floating around its owner. "Always sleeping, my friend," he sighed, rolling his eyes before petting the deer frog's head. The door was then slammed open as Zane stood there. He nodded slowly at the smith, making the tall man quickly grab his helmet and follow the ice knight to the main hanger.

"I came as fast as I could. What's the problem, Patrick?" Gabriel asked, putting his hammer down as he put the helmet on.

"Tim and Rai did not return, and they dropped a flare," Patrick said, moving his helmet aside as he pointed at the location. The map flicked a bit as his finger touched it. The rest all looked at the spot and noticed that this cave was not originally there the last time they patrolled. "Thief magic, I believe," Patrick said, grabbing his helm and putting it on. Steven grabbed his snake as they walked over to the armory. Now fully geared up, the four knights all grabbed some horses and took off out of the fort.

The journey was quiet. They needed to think this plan through. If the mage and Necromancer were there, then they would need to take safety precautions. The ride was fast, and before they knew it, they arrived to see a pile of bodies. Gabriel hopped off his horse and walked over to the remains, lifting one up to show the mark and hood. "Definitely dark cultists," he muttered before eyeing the surroundings. "But Tim and Rai are not here."

The rest all hooded off and started down at the bodies. Most looked to have their skulls caved in. "They went inside," Patrick said, taking his axe out. The others grabbed their weapons and followed close as they entered the cave. It was dark but not pitch black. Patrick raised a hand as a simple flame danced off his palm. They saw writing all around and noticed a wooden beam; it was a mineshaft.

"So the dark mage was hiding here?" Steven asked. If he wasn't second in command, he would have been the map landscaper. He had seen all kinds of mines but never saw this before. The cave looked old but new at the same time. Skeletons littered the floor, but carts and tools all looked fresh. Not a single cobweb was in sight. And the bodies that lay all around showed that this was the necromancer's doing.

"Stay sharp and close, bodies," was all Patrick said as they all grouped up back to back. But they all shifted as light panting made them all turn to the noise, only to stop as they saw Rai there. His armor was covered in cuts, and his helmet was a bit damaged too.

"Rai! Where is Tim?" Steven asked.

"You're too late..." Rai rasped before a buff skeleton picked him up. Patrick was about to strike, but he felt hands grab his feet, forcing him in place. Zane was tackled from the back as a skeleton held his arms close together. Gabriel punched some skeletons all around before too many grabbed him, holding him down on his back to the floor.

A light laugh made the group all look over to the darkness where slow clapping echoed all over, and there he stood, the necromancer. "I've got to say, you're all too good at getting caught like dogs," he cackled before he stepped to the side, revealing two yellow eyes glowing in the dark accompanied by another set of laughter.

"Indeed, my servant!" the Dark Mage said before eyeing all six of them. "Wow! A full house! Hello, my old friends! It's good to see you all again after what? One, two, no, three years after my defeat," he growled under his breath as skeletons soon picked them all up. "You're gonna regret holding me down like this!" Gabriel barked before he was jabbed in the jaw by the necromancer. "That's for my jaw from last time… Ironhide," he spat.

They all struggle as more skeletons take them further into the cave. “Where is Pink!” Patrick shouts, trying to free his arms. The mage laughed as he turned to the leader with his evil look. “Oh, him? Heheh, you’ll see, Orange,” the Dark Mage said as skeletons placed them all on tables. They felt the mechanism lift them up as they studied the room coming to life. Spotting Tim on a bench, his body covered from head to feet in cuts and bruises, they looked over to the group. He smiled under his helmet.

As the necromancer approached Zane, the ice knight gritted his teeth, clearly feeling a mix of anger and frustration."How disappointing," the necromancer muttered before backhanding Patrick, sending him sprawling. "What is this, Mage!" Patrick yelled, looking at the tall machinery.

"Oh, this? Why, it's my device to leave this world!" the Dark Mage laughed. “What?” All of them said (except for Zane) as the ball in the top splits in half as a crystal appeared “A force energy crystal?” Rai muttered “Yes! Why don’t I explain it before you all die shall I?” He asked

“Master? We shouldn’t-“

“Shut up Nel” the mage said before grabbing the table forcing them to look more at the devices. “This here my enemy, is my latest invention! Meet the gateway bridge… star… planet thing?” Dark mage said frowning at the name“you… you didn’t think of a name did you?” Necromancer said, The mage regained his composure after the interruption. "Ahem! This device will be powered by magic and would open a bridge to the main Elemental World of Source!" he announced, his voice laced with anticipation as he chuckled menacingly.

The group collectively gasped in realization of the true purpose of the machine. They knew that draining magic from an elemental knight was not only dangerous but potentially fatal. Despite the impending danger, Tim managed a strained laugh, his hand wavering weakly in the air. "Silly rabbit... taking magic will kill the user," he wheezed, his voice barely audible over the mage's mocking laughter.

As Tim's words sank in, the necromancer's expression shifted to one of dawning realization. "Wait," he began, but it was too late. The machine sprang to life, and Tim's agonized screams pierced the air. Blurry vision obscured his sight, but he could still make out the desperate struggles of his friends as they fought against their bonds. The chaos erupted as the knights unleashed their fury upon the machine, their voices blending into a cacophony of anger and determination. "You piece of toast!" Patrick's voice cut through the chaos, filled with raw emotion.

"Tim, no!" Gabriel's shout rang out, a mixture of concern and urgency. With a primal roar, Zane added his voice to the chorus, his anger palpable. "Stop this madness!" Steven's command reverberated through the cavern, his determination unyielding. Rai's defiant refusal echoed against the walls, a testament to his unwavering spirit.

As the knights poured their magic into the assault, the device trembled violently, its structure straining under the onslaught. With a deafening roar, a tear ripped open in the fabric of space, unleashing a torrent of blue mist. The mage and necromancer, caught off guard, stumbled backward as their skeletal minions shattered into pieces.

But the worst was yet to come for the dark duo. The five knights, now free from their restraints, charged forward, their magic blazing bright. With a collective shout, they unleashed a combined beam of energy that struck the gateway with overwhelming force.

With a collective leap of faith, the knights followed Patrick's command, hurtling through the tear in the fabric of space. The rush of wind surrounded them as they plummeted into the unknown, their hearts pounding with anticipation and determination. Gabriel wasted no time, reaching out to catch Tim as they descended. With a strong grip, he pulled his friend close, shielding him from the chaos around them. Meanwhile, the others braced themselves for whatever awaited on the other side of the portal.

As they landed with a jolt, the ground beneath them felt solid and unfamiliar. The air was thick with an otherworldly energy, and the landscape stretched out before them in eerie silence. With a sense of urgency, Patrick scanned their surroundings, his eyes narrowing in determination.

"We're here," he declared, his voice echoing through the strange new world. "Now, let's find that mage and put an end to his plans once and for all." The knights stood tall and resolute, their determination shining through the darkness of the forest. With their weapons at the ready and their spirits undaunted, they faced down the dark mage and his nefarious companion.

The knights wasted no time, their determination fueling their pursuit. With Patrick leading the charge, they sprinted through the dark forest, their weapons at the ready and their resolve unyielding. The laughter of the mage echoed through the trees, driving them forward with even greater urgency.

As they raced deeper into the forest, the knights remained vigilant, their senses sharp and their instincts honed. The dense canopy above cast eerie shadows, but they pressed on undeterred, their determination unwavering. "We can't let them get away!" Steven exclaimed, his eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of their quarry. Rai nodded in agreement, his lightning crackling around him as he focused his magic. "We'll catch them, no matter what it takes," he declared, his voice resolute.

With a shared sense of purpose, the Castle Crashers continued their pursuit, their footsteps echoing through the darkened woods as they closed in on their elusive foes. Victory was within their grasp, and they would stop at nothing to ensure that justice was served.

The knights forged ahead, their determination driving them deeper into the mysterious forest. As they pressed on, Patrick couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gripped him. The oppressive atmosphere of the darkened woods seemed to weigh heavily on his shoulders, and he couldn't shake the sense that they were being watched.

"Where in the duck's name is that wizard!" Patrick warned, his voice tense with urgency. "This forest... there's something not right about it."

His companions nodded in agreement, their senses on high alert as they moved cautiously through the dense foliage. Tim, still recovering from his ordeal, clung tightly to Gabriel's back, his eyes darting nervously around the shadowy surroundings. "We need to find that wizard before he slips away," Rai urged, his magic crackling around him as he scanned the area for any sign of their elusive quarry. "Okay. I think if we continue moving this way, we might be able to--"

"Look out!" Rai's voice sliced through the air, prompting the knights to brace themselves. As they turned, a blast of magic careened toward them. Rai acted quickly, raising his shield to deflect the attack.

Startled, Tim jolted awake, blinking rapidly as he tried to orient himself. Gabriel steadied him, his expression tense but determined. "Stay alert, Tim," he urged, his grip firm yet reassuring. Patrick scanned the surroundings, his instincts on high alert. With flames dancing in his palm, he assessed the situation. "Keep your guard up, everyone," he cautioned, his voice steady despite the chaos unfolding around them. "We may have unexpected company."

As the dust settled, the knights found themselves facing an unexpected sight: a group of ponies, their expressions a mix of surprise and apprehension. Patrick's brow furrowed in confusion. "What in the king's name are you?" he demanded, his grip tightening on his weapon. Seeing six ponies with horns and wings.

"Alright, you beast!" The purple pony's voice rang out, catching the knights off guard. It was a commanding tone, unmistakably female. With a forceful stomp of her hoof, she signaled her determination, her horn glowing with changeling magic.

"Listen up! You might serve Nightmare Moon, but you won't thwart our mission to save Equestria!" she declared boldly. A blue pony with wings swooped in, her voice carrying a hint of defiance. "Yeah! You stone-faced goons won't stand in our way!" she added, pumping her hoof for emphasis. Tim straightened, adjusting his arm as the others turned to him, then refocused on the group of ponies, clearly anticipating trouble.

"Best mind your manners, horse," Patrick warned sternly.

"I'm a pony golem!" the purple pony retorted, charging her magic.

"You ponies don't look like much!" Gabriel chuckled.

"Alright, partner, you're asking for it!" the orange pony grumbled.

"We did try to warn you," Rai interjected.

"No, you didn't!" the white pony scoffed.

"Hmmph!" Zane grunted, his stance firm.

"You're not much of a talker, are you?" the rainbow pony remarked.

"Should we really be fighting?" Steven questioned uncertainly.

"Um... I'm not sure," the yellow pony admitted hesitantly.

"Hey there! I'm Timmy, but you can call me Tim!" Tim greeted warmly.

"Hi, Tim! I'm Pinkie Pie! Wanna be friends?" the pony named Pinkie Pie responded cheerfully.

"TIM!" "PINKIE!"

Chapter 2 Fighting the moon

Logbook

At first I hated to do these pages, but now knowing more of this group, I kind of understand what it means, if you live or die you will have a page to alway be remembered by, Too bad Zane hates writing, I could see him totally doing this with the others! But oh well it’s his choice and “let fate decide” for him. Other then that this is Steven, green knight of the Castle crasher signing off on march 2

“Stop!” Steven shouts making all of his allies and ponies all stair at him and the yellow pony “we should be focusing on our main goal!” He continued. The yellow pony nods along with him as she trots over to the purple pony

“Twilight? We should be finding nightmare moon” the yellow one whispers lightly before smiling a little up at Steven “do you know a nightmare moon golem?” She asked kindly. Steven gets on a knee to be on eye level with the ponies and shake his head “no, we’re uh, kinda new here” he said standing back up lifting a hand to his friends.

“Patrick, think we lost the mage” Rai said before dusting some dirt off his hoodie. Patrick sighed before him and the others all out there weapons away. “Uh, forgive me. I may have been lost in a sense of anger” Patrick said before bowing down to the ponies. The purple one looks at the yellow pony and then the others before sighing losing charge to her magic.

“No, I’m sorry for trying hurt you with magic, I guess I could say the same” the purple pony said giving a small smile as the others all look at each other.

*slurp! Munch!*

The group all look to the left to see, Tim and the pony named Pinkie pie sit down on a bean bag drinking what looks to be a soda and was eating popcorn. “No no, keep going!” Pinkie pie said

“Yeah! We’re just spectators!” Tim chirped

The both Patrick and the purple pony groaned as Zane rolls his eyes along with the rainbow mane pony, Steven and the yellow pony giggle.

“Well I guess an introduction is in order?” Patrick said as Tim dusts himself off and runs his neck while laughing a bit. “I agree, you all don’t look to be hurting anypony”

Wait “anypony?” They all looking at each other before they all bark in laughter, the purple pony raised a brow ‘was it something I said?’ Patrick wipes a tear off his helm as he waved a hand before chuckling

“Oh alright… Castle Crashers!” Patrick said suddenly changing into a drill Sargent as all six knights all take a stance as they take there weapon out and pants the blade at the ground “We are knights of pure elements, we are swords for hire, we seek to put the word “evil” in the ground, We. Are. Castle Crasher!” Patrick saluted as all ponies all lower their jaws in awe.

CASTLE CRASHER ELEMENTS OF MAGIC

“You tiny ponies may call me Patrick, leader of the castle crasher, this over here is Steven second in command of the group” Patrick said as Steven lifts his sword up and flips it back in his sheath as his magic snake crawls around his arm. “Greetings”

“And over here these two are Gabriel and Zane! Gabriel is our blacksmith of our team while Zane is our scout” Patrick said as the two lift their weapons high before Zane twirls his swords before sliding back on his hips

“Hallo”

“Hmm”

“And these two over here are the mace brothers Rai and Tim, they’re the main troops of the group but Rai is our caretaker of our armor. While Tim… he shoots rainbow” Patrick said waving a hand as explaining the last two.

“Kon'nichiwa”

“I love penguins!”

But after all were introduced they all lift a hand up and shoots out a beam of magic as a cross appeared, the group of ponies all look at each other before they start stomping hooves on the ground.

“Well… that was an interdiction” the purple pony said before clear her throat “nice to meet you all! I’m Twilight Sparkle, these are my friends!” Twilight said rising a hoof to the five other ponies.

“Applejack howdy!”

“Rarity charmed”

“Rainbow dash sup”

“F… Fluttershy…”

“And you know me!” Pinkie giggled before hopping over to Tim as they both start laughing. Steven walks over to Patrick and Twilight “so your looking for someone?” He asked

“Huh… Oh right! Girls! We have to find continue looking for nightmare moon!” Twilight said making the group look over to her.

“That’s nice but uh… who is that?” Patrick asked rubbing the top of his head. Twilight blinks for a second before she shakes her head and clears her throat before explaining. A moment later and the six knights all stand close ready for action, this nightmare moon is definitely bad news for them indeed.

“Very well then, Mis Sparkle? We the knight of Castle Crashers must stop this evil, do you oppose for us to join along?” Patrick asked. Twilight shakes her head smiling up to the knight “no, not at all! And besides it looks like we can explain a few things if that’s alright?” She asked and the leader nods his head.

“Indeed, Castle Crashers!” Patrick ordered “keep close with the ponies, they are helping us. And we will do the same! Crash!” And soon the group all go down the path not noticing a dark blue mist disappears behind them.

“I don’t know, I never tired a cupcake and a brownie at the same time, sounds delicious though!” Tim said, a smile form behind his helmet as he looks down at Pinkie pie “indeed! Ooh I can’t wait to make a party!” She giddied

“Ah but darling! You got to show more of your talent! The world never respects clothing enough!” Rarity said eyeing Rai’s armor and sees the marking giving the white mare some ideas “now there’s someone who can understand respect on armor and cloth!” He laughed

“I bet you can’t even buck a whole apple tree!” Applejack challenged, Gabriel laughed as he slaps his chest hard at the challenge, he wipes a tear off his helmet before giggling lightly “oh I will show you little pony that a German man can do anything!” He said as the two both continue on.

“Hmmmm!” Zane grunted as Rainbow dash just talks on and on about a group called wonder bolts, he rolled his eye making the mare stop and frown at him “you think you can out smart them?” She asked and he nods scoffing at the thought. “Oh I will puts some bits on this!” She betted.

“Oh it’s name? Never though on one, it is made form my magic” Steven said petting the snake with a back of his hand before Fluttershy pet the top “it’s so kind… and so sweet” she said as the snake coils around her hoof and rubs the head on her hoof.

Patrick and Twilight smile at the group behind them before looking ahead of the path. “We’ll look like my group has gotten used to you lot” He said smiling down at the unicorn, she nods along and sighed “indeed, so much has happened today” she sighed before looking at Patrick “well I'm all ears” he chirped.

“Oh what to even talk about? Just met these ponies not to long ago, an a old enemy returns and seeks to make an endless night, and and… just met a bunch of golem” she said

“Oh, uh we’re not golems. We’re humans” Patrick said lifting his helmet showing his face, the mare looks away before saying “oh” and looks back at the others and then him “but… how do you use magic? Golem form stories have magic and… humans are nothing but a myth!” She said as Patrick frowns lightly.

“Myth? Huh… well humans don’t usually have magic… but me and my team are different, we’re elements” he said making the mare snap her head to the human.

“Elements? But you’re alive! How can an element be a human too?” She asked mainly herself as Patrick rubs his helmet chin. “Okay focus lass, what are you babbling about?” He said getting the mare to look up at him “well… do you know a story of the elements of harmony?” Patrick shakes his head at that response “well let’s just say that they have an element that represents emotions and have all power of magic all form six ponies” she said before looking ahead

“I believe that we can have the elements on our side and take down Nightmare moon” she said

“Huh… well I don’t know how to say about that, hope there helpful, if I may ask? You have a ruler? A queen or king?” Patrick asked crossing his arms “well no kings or queen… but we have our ruler Princess Celestia, she is the goddess of the sun who has a ability to raise and lower the sun and moon” Twilight explained making the human this time start blabbering now. But they soon stop as they soon see a ruined castle not too far away.

“I think we found it!” Twilight making the group all quiet down as they approached the front doors. Twilight stops at the door and looks up at the knights “okay, she might be in here, so we might wanna have a tactical approach, Patrick maybe you can think of something?” Taillight said

“Hmmm, Zane? Wanna practice ice slides again?” Patrick said making the man laugh lightly as he punched his hands together as an ice aura flows all around him.

“So. Cool” Rainbow said as Zane stabs back and bit as he works on his ice slide. Twilight nods before her and the other ponies all trot inside. Twilight and her group all look around seeing the ruined building and noticed some stone orbs lay around the floor.

But soon stop as blue mist all appeared all around the group as laughter was made as soon a tall pony appeared “oh ho! And here I thought that you six would be casing me such problems!” She laughed before Twilight trots up with a smile “but that where your wrong nightmare moon, we’re not the only problem for you”

*crash!

And soon the six knights all crash through the wall from Gabriel braking in first, Tim flops on the ground while the others all charge there magic while aiming some bows at the tall pony.

“So these things are not an illusion ? Ha!” Nightmare moon barked as the six all stand tall “well sorry to disappoint you horse” Gabriel said making her snort at the comment.

“Well Twilight! Might wanna get those element going” Patrick said “I’m trying!” She said lifting the orbs. “Pat any orders sir” Steven said as they soon circle the pony.

“Keep your cool, focus, and stop nightmare moon” he said making the tall pony chuckle loudly “your welcome to try” she said

“Castle Crashers… Crash!” And soon all six arrows fly out and dash towards the nightmare mare. She raised her magic as the arrow all turn to dust as a bream shoots out. They roll to the side as they continue surrendering her still. Tim and Rai soon yell as they lift there maces up and slam it down but feel a punch in the gut as they was flinched to the walls.

“Okay… tap out…” Tim muttered

“Okay! Stop using magic and fight me like a warrior horse!” Gabriel said lifting his hammer up, nightmare moon smiles showing her fangs “very well!” She said before teleporting in front of the tall man and lifts her front hooves up and punched his gut and then stab his shoulder with her horn and quickly turns around and bucked his chest as blood flings out his helmet.

“Ooh… okay… give me a bottle-“ he was then bucked in the head as he crashed onto Tim and Rai. Zane grunts before taking his swords out and shouts as he sliced his swords all over left and right, he then gets blasted back but slides the ground and shoots a ice spike that managed to hit the leg.

“Ah! Why you little-“ she snarled before picking Zane up with magic and slams him to the ground. Steven ducked as the ice knight crashed along with the others. The raining two look back and glair at the pony as they slowly walk to the left while she walks the opposite.

“Steven… go low, I’ll go high” Patrick said before he charges a fire on his axe and shield, Steven then charged his hands feeling the acid drip to the floor. At the same time Steven throws his hands down and his snake crashed into the ground as the path of stone was turning green and bubbling dashing towards nightmare moon. Patrick shouts out as he steps on his shield and slides on the acid floor to the nightmare pony.

But being too late she turns and bucks the leader straight towards the second in command the two both were added to the pile of humans. “NO!” Twilight shouts as nightmare moon laughed loudly “these golems are not what I expected to be!” She laughed as they all groan in pain.

“Now don’t mind me” nightmare moon said before she shattered all the orbs making Twilight and the others all step back feeling the fear take over “now this is over! I won!” The nightmare laughed as the ponies all around see darkness surrounding them.

“She is right… I’ve failed Celestia… I’m… sorry” she said lowering her head as a single tear falls down her face. It’s really over, not elements, no knights, nothing! It’s really over for them… they lost the sun, forever…

“Oi! It’s never over! You got to believe!” Patrick’s voices echoed as the room shifted with light a bit, the other mares all look around as they hear the voice. “But we’re done for! The stones are broken” Twilight said

“Ha!” Zane laugh echoed the room making more light surround the dark room. Rainbow looks all over and smiles nodding her head before she looks at the colors “so what do we do? Keep shouting?” She said as a light pink appeared

“Silly! It’s never over, just follow your dream!” Tim echoed as Pinkie soon hops all over and giggled along with the others as they starts to laugh lightly “what’s going on?” Nightmare moon asked all over, the colors never faded but soon a deep purple enters the room.

“What’s is happing is that you are seeing the strength returning into all of us!” Gabriel’s laughed, Applejack nods to that “he is not wrong you know? We got to trust each other!” She said

“Yeah!” Pinkie pie said

“Someone always say decide on a choice but you in actual terms, you have the decision!” Rai said with Rarity nodding along as she charges her magic making the room more bright as the rest all group up with her. “No no, this is not right!” Nightmare moon said

“No, your doing is not right! We’re here to protect! Even if it means our own lives!” Steven said, Fluttershy soon takes a stand in front of the ponies as they see the room begin to brake about with light returning. “As long as we’re together!” She said

*boom!

And the dark room was destroyed making the sox ponies all see the room, the knights were no longer in a pile but up on two feet as they hold there shields up high keeping the nightmare away from them. Twilight was amazed by seeing their strengths but then she gets it as the shards begin to float around them all. “That’s it! I got it!” She said as the magic begins to charge brightly.

The Castle Crashers all are tired as they keep their protective stance as the monster laughed lightly “you wish to protect them? Fools! I will make sure you will die on the moon for this!” She said but stops as a white glow gets her attention, but not only her… but the knights as well.

‘That feeling? Elemental magic?’ Patrick and others turn around and sees the ponies all floating… the glow make them step a bit forward as they stair at them “Pat! They did it! Element magic?” Steven said before feeling something grab him as he starts to float up next to Fluttershy.

“Ooh i always wanted to fly!” Tim said as he was then lifted next to Pinkie, Zane soon rolls his eyes but then floats up next to Rainbow dash as she looks at him with a smirk. “I’m not really… okay n-never mind!” Gabriel said as he tries to stay up in the air and floats next to Applejack. “Okay this is going to be strange” Rai said as he was now next to Rarity.

Then there was Patrick feeling the magic flow through his body as he was in the middle with Twilight, he looks at her who has her eyes closed but sees a beam slowly connect to him as then the sudden power make him and the others all go limp and silent as theirs magic aura are all connected and surround all of them and the main 6.

“Wha— what is this! The legend has never mentioned this-“

“Encouragement… Dreams… Strength… decisions… protect… and believe… it’s what makes a living being” Twilight said

“loyalty… Laughter… Honesty… Generosity… kindness… put all that together…” Patrick said

Soon both the two look up opening there eyes as white pupils glow though as they stair down at Nightmare moon who was backing up a bit to the wall shaking a bit.

“Its makes friendship” they both said unison, the glow is now brighter as more magic was seeing out of there bodies, and not too later a beam of pure magic shoots out as the color of a rainbow “Ah! No no no, impossible! There was only- how could these golem be apart of this!?” She shots before the beam hits her body, screaming the nightmare was then disappeared in the beam.

Jewels soon take form around the necks of the ponies, A crown was placed on Twilights head as they feel the magic continue to shimmer. As for the knights… the cross on there chest soon takes an extra bit of gold as the symbols match the jewels to the ponies. And as soon it was done they all slowly landing on the ground feeling the world around them a bit wobbly.

Twilight blinks as her eyes return to normal along with Patrick as they take the surrounding. Nightmare moon is gone… and they now have Jews on their body. “Oh oh! Pinkie look! We have the same symbols! We’re siblings!” Tim said showing the gem.

“Yeah! But yours is matching your color!” Pinkie said tapping this chest gem. Zane frowns a bit looking at the gem as Rainbow jabbing him with an elbow “heh frozen bolt!” She laughed as he rolls his eyes crossing his arms “hm!”

“What are these?” Gabriel said tapping the purple gem as Applejack laughed “it’s the elements I reckon” she said while the two then nod before they both start laughing.

“I got to say! These gem are sure styling!” Rarity beamed as the moves the gem to the side, Rai just taps the gem before shrugging as they look around the room. “Steven… this is amazing… I think your snake likes the gem” Fluttershy said while Steven nods along with her as they both let the snake.

Patrick and Twilight blink for a second as they look at each other and then the group… and back at each other “you… me…”

“We’re… how…”

“HOW IN THE WORLD ARE WE THE ELEMENTS?”

Chapter 3 Elements together

Logbook

Along my way through the mountains I noticed the gang were not really in the moment, it’s like they weren’t expecting me to join the crew so soon, or maybe that I’m older? I don’t know and really care. My papa might be proud about it, ah but mama… she was heart broken when she saw me in the armor. I will make sure to alway remember them no matter the cause… all the pain… all the bad moments… I’ll always think of them. It’s been a honor of being a knight! Gabriel Ironhide, blacksmith of the Castle Crashers singing off on May 23

Patrick rubs his temple as they sit down at the ruined castle, Twilight was pacing left and right muttering “the story never mentioned humans, they don’t have magic” she said. Rainbow elbowed Gabriel shoulder “you think she will blow a fuse?” She asked as the weapon smith chuckled “so many bets, I love this place more and more” he laughed along with the mare.

“Okay! I need to know one thing Patrick!” Twilight said snapping at the orange knight as he rubs his eyes, he is tired and more confused. “Do you have an explanation on this matter? How did you human help with the elements magic?” She asked

“Well let’s see here… no wait… ah I got it!” Patrick said standing up as his hand shows his flame aura. He walks up to Twilight and puts a hand in her horn, soon a light purple aura surrounds the mare. But once he lets go it disappears “ah ha! It’s works!” He cheered while he quickly writes down on the journal.

“Uh what the month? And uh day?” He asked turning to Twilight as she rubs her chin “it’s the 2nd of sun lower this year” she said. Patrick nods to himself and write the note down and hands it to Rai. He eyed the page and then gasped as he looks over at Rarity and then his leader “you really think it’s that technique?” He said putting the book in his pocket.

“Think what?” Twilight asked as Patrick clears his throat “so. You know that we are elemental knights?” Twilight nodded “well I believe that the elements they you mentioned might have made us connected to them” Patrick said looking down at his gem and then points at Twilights… there the same… but his is Orange, matching his color no doubt “but why?” Twilight asked taking her crown off her head to eye the gem… it’s her mark but… why does he have it? Patrick was then stepping on the tip of his toes as he giggled

“Elemental connection! It’s true!” He cheered making the whole group look at his ranting. “You see, we use element magic, we weren’t born with them but have connected us in a way” he said showing off his huge ball of flame.

“But our magic grows from our feeling too, anger, sadness, fear you name it!” He continued while his flame flicked a bit from the top, he soon walks over to Twilight grabbing her crown and taking the gem off his chest plate. “These gem are more special then we imagined! A move that the user can survive!” He cheered making Fluttershy flinch a bit while Applejack frowns, the knight all look at each other while Rainbow dash crossed her hooves while floating in front of Patrick.

“What do you mean by “survive?” You saying that this can kill us?” She asked, Patrick groans rubbing his face “no no, if a user used all six at the same time they would be one part with the elements, but if one can use the same power along with there bond… it would make a powerful attack or something” he said waving a hand around. Each knight looked at the pony who had their symbol with a questioning look until Twilight remembered the moment.

“When nightmare moon had us trapped, we heard your voices! I get it now!” She said pointing at each pair.

Fluttershy and Steven, Kindness and Protection
Rarity and Rai, Generosity and Decisions
Rainbow dash and Zane, Loyalty and Inspiration
Applejack and Gabriel, Honesty and strength
Pinkie pie and Tim, Happiness and Dreams

“Then there is you Patrick… Believe and… Friendship” she said smiling up at the Human, he smiles back before quickly taking his axe out as light sounds of rubble move as a tall white pony stands at the end of a hall. “Twilight?” The white mare said as she trots over to her… the sun is now up? How?

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight said quickly trotting over to her along with the other ponies. “Oh Twilight! You did it!” She said while giving her a hug but stop spotting the six knights all eye her having the sudden urge to protect the pack. Patrick steps up and then brings his axe in front of him and then planted the head on the floor and soon bowed. The rest do the same and saluted the princess “your highness, we are the Castle Crashers, from another world. We seek to take out an enemy that teleported us here” he said as the princess slowly looks at them and then her ponies.

“They help too… and there part with the elements of harmony” Twilight chimes in trotting up to Patrick. He stands up showing the gem on his chest, Celestia looks at the gem with no delay and then back up at the human, then a warm smile slow appeared “thank you for helping my students knights, I never thought that the old stories have ever been more mysterious… but it does give me and odd sense that we’ve met before” she said making Pat quirk a brow.

But that aside and light murmur was made as the group look down the hall, Steven was walking back holding a tiny foal? He was apparently not with the group and was helping this foal… but where did she “Lulu?” Celestia said making the blue mare lift her head up and look over to Celestia.

“Tia!” She said as Steven slowly walks over to Celestia and puts her down softly as the two hugged each other. Patrick frowned a bit as Steven was now standing aside them but focused more on the tiny blue pony.

“Sister… I’m… I’m back” the tiny mare whimpered as tears swelled up, Celestia now on the floor nuzzled the mare’s head as they slowly cry a little. “Uh what’s happening?” Rai asked as Celestia smiles standing up along with the mare.

“Forgive me, this is Luna. My sister and princess of the moon” she said making the twelve all jaw dropped but then they all smile and nod at her, Luna then sees Steven and trots up to him, he kneels down and bowed keeping his respect “your highness forgive my action. I did not intend—“

“No no, thank you sir knight” she said before she hugged his arm as he was left speechless, never in all of his life would expect an royal leader just shrug him off like that… and he smiled behind the helmet. He pats her lightly before she brakes the hug and trots to Celestia.

“Nightmare moon is no more, thanks for the Elements of harmony and the Castle Crashers” soon Celestia bows to the group before they soon all begin to leave the castle. The group all talk far behind while Patrick, Twilight and Celestia all tort a bit ahead as to discuss their plans.

“So you seek refuge along with my ponies to stop this wizard?” Celestia asked, Patrick nods as looking forward noting some vines in the way “yes. He can not be let loss here, he had a purpose coming here and I won’t allow any further damage from his rampage, who knows on what he is doing right now” he said.

“Dang it Nel! We’re screwed I tell you! Screwed!” The mage said passing left and right, his steps echo the cave while the necromancer just sits on the ground frowned and annoyed.

“Master? I was going to ask, why did you use the pink one?” He asked

“I don’t know… I thought he was red” he said shrugging, Necromancer just face palm and rubbed his eyes before the mage quickly hops up “never mind that, Nel! Charge the spell! My army is needed” Mage said before he started laughing like a maniac before he cracked his throat and grunted.

“S-shut up Nel…”

Back to our heroes they just now were accepted to be part with the town, Twilight had planned out the further stay for each knight and luckily nothing to bad could happen. Right now Patrick is talking to his group while Twilight does the same.

“Oh boy! I can’t wait to be staying at Pinkie’s! I always wanted a pony to be my friend!” Tim said giggling to himself as Rai just shrugged “staying with Rarity is not too bad, who knows maybe I can help make clothes for ponies and us”

“Ha funny thing Workwear! Applejack is letting me stay to test my strength for her farm” Gabriel said before all of a sudden *poof and Forgor appears yawning from his slumber. The deer frogs was then picked up by the weapon smith as he hugged him close “Forgor! I forgot that you were here!” Gabriel laughed

Zane soon was tugged by Rainbow dash as she then pulls him aside “okay dude, your staying with me, but I need to know one thing? You can’t fly right?”

“MmMmm” he shakes his head and the mare then groans lightly “great now I can’t show you my stuff, Twilight we may have a problem with Zane—“ she stopped as a snow flake hits her snot, she scrunched before sneezing. Zane chuckled a bit as he points up at a cloud that suddenly started snowing a little “huh? How did that—“ she stops and frowns as the human eyed her “so… you can make clouds snowy huh?” She asked growing, the human nods as he points at it. The mare dashed up and grabbed the cloud as he then touched a bit of it.

“Whoa! A non-winged can touch clouds! Awesome!” She cheered “hey Twilight! Never mind” she said before dashing back to the group. Zane rolled his eyes but smiled lightly as he walks back to the group, they talked about further plans and keeping the townsfolk happy and also be respectful to their hospitality. It seams though that all knights are well accounted for having a place to stay… well except for Patrick, Twilight didn’t live here and she now planning on staying here at Ponyville to live for now on, but this means for a good home to find… as the group was disembarking him and the others were ordered to hand the gems away for safe keeping, doing so Patrick noticed that his cross symbol was a bit different, but not caring he follow close with Twilight as they soon look around the town.

Hi! Sorry for having a short chapter :twilightsheepish: I have six chapter in the works so making an intro chapter was kinda an idea to work with. Plus I have each knight and pony a main focus in each of these chapter, for story building and more but here is the order I’ll be giving you all.

Patrick, Zane, Tim, Gabriel, Rai, and Steven
All six will be having their own chapter each with the pony. Thanks for reading!

Side Mission: Fire and Magic

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Side Mission Ice and Dash

Logbook

Its done. The mage was defeated (I think) it came at a cost… Zane is… not the same, and I can feel it. Actually we all do! He had not said anything since the fight with the necromancer, he nearly killed us but, Zane was different on how he ended the fight. I guess the necromancer killed his brother a long time ago. But Zane won’t say anything! He is just shaken…I hope. This is Rai, the red knight of the Castle Crashers signing off on April 6

The trip to the clouds was one thing Zane would never achieved but eh who cares, Rainbow dash as below him pushing his cloud slowly as they soon reach more clouds that take a form of landscape. Now getting at all bothered by it the blue Pegasus leads the silent trooper through the sky as they reach not to far a house made of clouds. It’s sits well shaped in all, Zane raises a brow at the sight.

“Hmm” he hummed as Rainbow lands next to him smiling brightly “yeah I know, it’s an awesome house” she said before flying up to the door allowing the human to enter in. She noticed that he left some snow prints on the clouds as he walks by ‘so is it the magic that’s keeping him up here?’ She shrugged it off, maybe once Twilight has a place she could ask.

Zane looks around seeing a pretty normal living room, simple couch and windows all regular from his old village. Rainbow quickly give Zane the tour around the place and shows the spare room not to far from her room. Once opening it he gasped seeing… the room filled up boxes and… trophies? Rainbow quickly shuts the door and offered a weak smile with pink cheeks showing.

“I’ll need to uh… clean that… so uh do you need a shower? Cus you smell kind of bad” she said before mentally slapping herself as Zane furrowed his brows.

“Hmph” he grunted before he sighed and smelled his arm, intently recoiling back in disgust, he looks at Rainbow and she chuckled lightly “the uh… the bathroom is down the hall, towels are in the cabinet. Zane nods and walks towards the destination. Once inside he nods to see that it has a pretty good amount of space here. Closing the door Zane first takes his half helm off before he reaches down and opens his chest armor, he zips down and slides off the armor feeling his shoulders more free from his heavy plating shoulders. Once that’s off he goes for his two swords, taking one off by one he looks at his weapons with each hand until spotting his oldest blade. Putting his one blade down he eyes the sword with hate and hears the echo form the back of his head.

“Zane…”

He cringed as the voice and closed the blade and tossed it along his gear, then he reaches for his belt. With a simple click the whole half skirt and belt all were added to the pile of gear. Now naked Zane walks over the shower and closed the door and turns the nozzle. He sighed feeling the warmth hit his skin, the dirt and grime all slowly wiping off his body leaving scars all reviled more. He closed his eyes as he puts a hand on one scare and grunts as he hears the necromancer’s voice… clenching a fist he placed it on the wall as he tries to keep his calm.

“Zane…” the voice returned, Zane open his eyes and blinks before finding a bar of soap he starts cleaning himself, ignoring the voice again. After wiping the soap off he stands in the water for a good minute. He sighed again as he turned the water off and opens the door to see his gear, right where he left it. Looking up at the mirror he sees his one brown eye staring back at him while his damaged eye flinched a bit. He rubs his face and frown a bit seeing himself more. His damage eye does nothing really but once he blinks he sighed.

“Hey Zane I was wonder if you—“ Rainbow stops by the door and freezes in place as she eyed the human’s body “G- GAH!” Zane shouted quickly covering his body as Rainbow stuttered and bumps into the door before screaming

“Sorrysorrysorrysorrysorry!”

“Rrrrhmph!” Zane snarled before quickly putting his armor back on, he eyes his swords and then scoffed and then walks to the door. Back in the living room Rainbow was sitting on the couch, flushed cheeks and all. She gasped as Zane walked in with his frown still on his face “I’m so sorry Zane, I thought you were done, cus the door was not locked too” she said looking down at the floor.

“Hm!” He grunts before he waved a hand off making Dash smile a little as she looks around the place. Zane eyes the kitchen and then the front door, Rainbow smiles bright now as flaps her wings getting his attention now.

“Now uh before that happened. I was gonna ask if you wanted to see me and few other ponies train to fly?” She asked. Zane grunted and crossed his arms, still pissed on what happened… but going outside would help the headache that’s slowly coming. He nods while sighing in defeat, Rainbow dash pumps a hoof and dashed to the door leaving wide open for the human to also step out too.

He looks around the place seeing clouds all around and lots of winged ponies all fly around talking normally… a bit too much. Zane sighed as Rainbow flies next to him, eye level and all too. “So if you don’t mind me asking but, why can’t you talk? Your friends say that you choose not to, why is that?” She asked

“…” he dead paints and rubbed his head annoyed now cus she won’t non stop ask now. “How did you get your power? How old are you? Do you know the wonderbolts?” And soon Zane grunts and turns a different way and stops to see the cloud land before him. He noticed one bigger cloud filled with ponies and all, he sees some rainbow spill out and the pony next to him smiles brightly “Cloudsdale sure is a cool sight to see” she said

“…MmMmm” Zane nodded as the pair watch the floating city, Zane puff a breath before looking at Rainbow “so, sit here, and watch and learn from the best!” She said stretching her wings again and takes off in the sky in a flash. Zane watched closely before he slowly sits down on the cloud and sees the pony dash around in a flash… she is fast but also a bit stubborn… mainly. Zane just sighed as he puts a hand on a knee as he watches the pony. She crashes in clouds some of the times, it’s one way of getting the human’s humor out. But at some point Zane soon noticed some ponies were flying over to the pair, Rainbow noticed it and groaned loudly before landing next to Zane with a bit of fear in her face.

“Uhhh…”

“They are… old bullies of mine… those jerks just never know when to quit!” She spat and looking at the floor. Three stallions all were laughing as they fly around in circles before landing “aw look at that guys, Rainbow Crash had a hairless Golem for pet” the middle stallion laughed

“What’s the problem Dash? Tired of crashing all the time? You wanted to have a golem see you suck!” The left stallion said slapping his foreleg. Zane was annoyed at the whole “golem” name but when he looks at Dash he can see… oh now it’s on. Zane pops his neck and slowly growls while he walks to the pair of stallions. He looks at the middle with a frown and gets on a knee.

“Uh… what do you want-“ he was cut off when his front leg was grabbed, Zane stands back up and brings the hoof in the air having the stallion see him eye to eye. Zane scoffed at the stallion and charges his magic. A white aura slowly surrounds his body and his damaged eye glows brightly.

“Ah! Somepony! Guys? Help!” The stallion shouts. Rainbow just watched while the other two were about to get up “Hey! Put him—“ he stopped. Zane snaps his head to the stallion’s direction making the two stair deeply into his eyes.

The stallions all blink and before they know… there in a different place… snow falling all around them like a blizzard. Zane stands there starting at the group as they all shiver in fear. Zane takes a step and slowly starts to laugh…. His laugh was loud and deep… and it slowly surrounds the group of stations. They all start the shout and whimper, and as they blink again, there back in reality.

They all scream as Zane drops the one stallion and they all fly off with fear. Zane chuckled at that and looks down at Rainbow Dash. His grin disappears as he see her face… and was about to rolls his eyes, but stop as he was then tackled to the ground by the sky blue Pegasus. She hugs him tight and starts laughing as she brakes the hug.

“Sorry… heh, just never thought I would hear them scream that high pitch” she said rubbing the back of her head. Zane blinks for a second before he smiles again and sits up right before they both start laughing.

As the day was slowly coming close to the end Zane was back at the house while Rainbow was off doing her job of weather patrolling, the human had visited Cloudsdale and saw the stores and heard more on the wonderbolts that Rainbow seamed to have mentioned a lot. They seam like his kind of thing, but being a land creature, he can’t fly so that’s out of his role.

Rainbow soon enters inside tired in all of the work she had done today. Zane nods at her entering and flops on the couch “so no luck finding anything huh?” She asked, Zane shakes his head and puts a hand on his chin as leaning forward to his knee.

“So… now thinking on it, you’re going to be here for a while right?” She asked

Zane nods at that, he frowns lightly now realizing it. His leader never had told a plan on the search for the mage… and now thinking on it more… they might be stuck here too. “Heh cool” Rainbow said making the human look at her with a brow raised, she blushed lightly before puffing her chest out “so that mean I can show you more on the wonderbolts!” She blurted and frowns at the human.

Zane rolls his eyes and then reaches for his pocket and pulls out a page. He hands it to the pony, she nearly fainted at the image “the… the wonderbolts are having an air show at Ponyville?” She asked and the human nods hiding a smile a little.

“Dude! We have to cheer on this! I finally can get the chance to have Spitfire recruit me!” She squeals and dashed to the kitchen and pulls some… beer? Zane eyes the glass bottle with a hand and eyes it… it’s apple cider? He had recalled back in the day when him and his team had a great victory they would go for drinks… but this is there term of alcohol? No way right?

He takes a swig and jolted feeling the taste of beer with the tad flavor of apples hit his tongue. He eyes the drink and then looks at the mare chug the whole bottle. He then does the same and takes a breath as the warm liquid goes down his stomach.

“Heh never had apple cider before?” She asked, Zane only gasped as he takes a moment… he then puts the glass down and stretched his back. The mare does the same before the two chuckle a bit, Zane maybe new to this whole deal of living on cloud, but he could get used to this pony… she is something he can call a friend at least.

“Hm” he smerk before he sits back on the couch as he rubs his chin for a plan on what do for the future of living in the pony land.

Side Mission Rainbow and cupcake

Logbook

So along my way training with the guys, I met a knight who happened to have some bad luck with false rumors about him, so I asked Patrick if he can join us, but sadly he said no. But it did not stop me from helping him, and your wondering, who is this guy? Theodore Hawkmoon. This is Tim the pink knight of the Castle Crashers signing off on January 30

The sun was rising slowly over the village of Ponyville, the early walker trot outside and wave at some ponies making more villagers wake up and starts the day. A newspaper was thrown to the door of sugar cube corner, landing lightly on the welcome mat. The door opens as a hand reached and grabs it before closing the door.

“Here you go Mr. Cake! Looks like there is come kind of crossword puzzles on it” Tim said as the Cakes eye the paper and they chuckle. “Thanks Timmy, mind helping Pinkie set up shop? We’re going to be leaving for a trip for the kids” Mis. Cake said as the human claps his hands together and walks back into kitchen where the party pony was at staining at the two kinds of cupcakes.

“Hey, Timmy! Come here. Can you tell the difference between these cupcakes?” She asked holding the two in front of the human. He blinks for a second and takes his helmet off letting his pink hair out, he rubs a chin as he eyed the two different color frosting.

“Well one has a different color… but do they taste different?” He asked Pinkie smiles brightly and nods her head and pulls a page out. “After you gave me the recipe for your human cupcakes I see the difference between the two.

“They look the same, if it’s the taste that different then what make them look different?” Tim asked as he grabs the cupcake and looks at it. “You said that Humans can not have too much cupcake cause of sugar, but ponies need lots of sugar… your recipe show out like it’s cooking a muffin”

Tim hummed at that and placed the cupcake down and sighed “anyway, the Cakes are about to leave, so we have the shop to ourselves” Tim said putting his helmet back on. Pinkie hops out of the kitchen laughing as they flip the sign to open.

“Well then silly! Let’s get today going!” She said “so you wanna bake or cashiers” she asked, Tim rubbed his chin then clapped his hands “I’ll bake!” He chimed making the mare giggle as they swap hats, Tim takes his helmet off and puts it on Pinkie’s head and puts the chef hat on and grabs the dough.

“Wow! This helmet is cool!” Pinkie said before lifting the face plate up to fit the helmet better, Tim laughed as he placed a cupcake tray in the oven. “Maybe I can have Rai make you one! He would love to make armor for anyone!” Tim said as he grabs his mace and beats the dough.

“You talk a lot about Rai, what is he like?” Pinkie asked looking back at the human. Tim smiles brightly and chuckled “me and Rai are long time best friends, we knew each other before we were the Castles Crashers” he explained as he charged his magic and shoots out jellybeans and chocolate.

“Oh! I wished I have your magic! All the sugar in the world!” Pinkie said before giggling at she steals a chocolate bar. Tim smiles and puts another tray of cupcakes in the oven. “Well at least you all enjoy magic users, cus where I’m from it’s… a sad story” he admitted making Pinkie stop to look back at Tim who was rubbing his arm. He then shrugged it off and smiles at the pony “but that’s for another day! Let’s bake some cookies and cakes now!” He said pulling out the recipe book.

An hour later ponies started coming inside asking for usual sweets. Tim was in the zone as he flips some cake around and frosted them, he even had his magic help out a lot too! Just a simple sprinkle of candy and jellybeans all cover some cakes and all. They worked well together, like a professional baker ‘this is for you father’ Tim’s smile grows bigger as he finished his last cake for the day.

“Wow! What a day of baking!” Tim said clapping his hands together having flour fly around and cover his apron in dough. Pinkie giggled and hops back and pats Tim’s shoulder.

“Let’s close the shop for an hour brake! And let’s talk till then” she said and Tim cheered for a brake. Flipping the sign the two walk upstairs and enter Pinkie’s room.

“So! This is… an interview!” She chimed making the human blink for a second and noticed Gummy stair up at him. “O-okay? What do you want to ask?” He said sitting down on the floor and grabs Gummy, and lets him slowly.

“Okay! So I have a bunch of super duper awesome questions that I want to ask! Feel free to say no but not all of them” she giggled before pulling glasses out of nowhere and puts them on as she looks at her clipboard that appeared nowhere too.

“So! Where did your love of backing come form?” She asked looking at the man, Tim rubs his head and then puts his helmet on as he listens to the question.

“My father. He was the kings royal baker” Tim said, Pinkie grabs a crayon and writes… scribbles in the page. “Okay… so how did you get you magic?” She asked

Tim flinched and sighed lifting a hand up “pass” he said and the mare groans “oh alright then… next question! Do you like my pet Gummy?” She said pointing a hoof at him “huh?” Tim then brings a hand up and feels the gator nibble on his helmet.

“Oh hello Gummy! I see your liking my helmet?” Tim asked pulling the gator off and smiles at him. Pinkie laughed at that and grabs her pet and pets his back. Gummy doesn’t even flinch… he just watches closely at the human before liking his eye open. Tim leans back a bit before he charges his magic and a penguin appeared with a straw hat.

“Do you like Penguins?” He asked “wack” the arctic bird squeaked making Pinkie bounce off the beg before gasping loudly. She then touched the bird and soon laughed loudly as she picks the bird up “he is so cute! I’m calling him Hopper!” She said before putting the penguin next to the gator.

“Wack” the bird repeated and the gator just blinks. Soon both Tim and Pinkie cooed as they see their pets talk with each other. Tim then looks outside and frowned a little “so… what else do you want to know?” He asked looking back at the pink pony.

“Oh! Well… why did you become a knight if you love baking?” She asked

Tim takes a second to process the question “well, when I got my powers I had to leave my family cause I was enhanced, and Patrick found me, Trained me to be strong” Tim sighed and looks down “if only I was a real hero…” Tim sighed before feeling a hoof touch his leg and looks at Pinkie smile lightly at him.

“You are a hero, from what I understand you did the right thing” she said before hugging the human “thanks Pinkie” he said

“Hey that’s what siblings do remember?” She asked and Tim nods brightly at that then remembered on his new role as an element. He feels his magic charge lightly, lifting a hand up he sees the aura “huh… that’s new” Tim said

“What’s wrong?” Pinkie asked as he looks at his body glow “my magic… it’s flowing… I feel more… powerful” he said before some rainbow start dancing off his palm. Pinkie gasped and giggled before eyeing the time, it’s been about a couple of minutes… maybe a good walk around town will help.

Lyra hums to herself as she helps Bon Bon with the candy and sweets "hey Bonnie? Where do you want to chocolate placed?" She asked looking over to the mare as she was working on some other kinds of candy. "uh under the marshmallows please, the ponies love the s'mores this year" Bon Bon said before she gasped as looking outside to see something. Lyra doesn't noticed for a second as was focusing on the candy placement before she then looks at Bon Bon again "uh... Bon? what the matter?" Lyra says patting her shoulder making the candy mare blink for a second "uh Lyra... Look" Bon Bon said picking a hoof up to Lyra's chin to look over to the window to see... now wait a minute, She knew the party pony Pinkie Pie... But the thing that stands close to her, it has some kind of armor on from bottom to the top.

"is that... Is that what I think it is?" she asked as her theory slowly waves at ponies passing by them.

"A HUMAN!" Lyra nearly gasped before she leans on the window... Pinkie was hopping next to the human as he simply talking? it doesn't have a mouth... but yet he, Yes a male talk to Pinkie Pie as a average conversation. "Uh Ly? are you okay?" Bon Bon said lowering a brow as the blue unicorn was painting lightly as a light blush sits on her face "A Human... Here living and breathing... I... I NEED-- Uh I need to talk to him" She said before opening the door and nearly runs to the pair.

"And that's why Rai and I are mace brothers" He laughed as the pink mare was giggling the whole time, Lyra then walks up and taps the human's leg making him stop to look down at the mare "Oh hello!" he said making Lyra gasp and have her blush deepen "H-hello... I'm Lyra Heartstring" Lyra greeted letting her mind take controlled "Hello, names Tim. Tim the human" He said before Pinkie pulls the human back "Tim we got to think better on the last part of your name!"

"What why?"

"You are the "Human" You and your friends are also humans too!" Pinkie shouts making the human rub his chin saying something about not having a last name anymore but Lyra did not listen to that 'more. humans.' Her blush was darker now making her look like her coat was blue and red, but snapping out of it she looks up at the hu- no Tim looking back down.

"hello Lyra! I'm Tim. Tim Pink!" He greets this time with his whole name now. Lyra smiles up at him and giggled lightly as she looks at the hand... The fingers 'Okay snap out of it mare!' she thinks before Tim was on a knee "so you wanted to talk? I have to make it short, got only 30 minutes left before I have to get back to work" he said as the mare look at his hands again "can I uh... Can I see your claws?" She asked

"... Wat?" Tim blurted

"Your claws!" She cooed as she grabs the claw and rubs his palm with her hooves and was painting heavily 'what the what!?' Tim thinks as he slowly pulls his hand back as the mare whines from his retreat. Tim looks at his hand and gagged a bit seeing it moist a little "uh... Pinkie... what is happening?" The human asked as the party pony as she stopped jumping and stared at the blue unicorn with jaw dropped. "Tim" Pinkie muttered

"y-yeah?"

"Run"

Feeling the fear take over the human does so and takes off towards the only place he been staying. He hears hooves follow close and sounds of the crazed mare following close while shouting “I just wanna touch your claws!” She said

“There are ponies watching!” Tim shouts back as he keep a good hold of his helmet ‘this is crazy!’ He thinks rapidly as he turns the corner and see the baking shop good ways ahead of him. But stops as Lyra was now in front of him from the alley way

“Just…. One more… mmmm… touch!” She coos before dashing forward towards the human. Tim panicked and looks at his hands seeing the magic slowly appear. Then an idea pops

“Sorry lady…. But I uh don’t bite unless you take me to dinner first” he said snapping his finger at her. Just then a huge bunny pops out of the ground launching Tim in the air, he then shoots rainbows out of his hands and starts running on it like a bridge. The ponies all gasp as the display of magic and the bunny that suddenly disappeared. Lyra stands there and eyes the human returning to the ground and was closer to the shop.

Pinkie then hops out of nowhere and opens the door for him and the mare to go inside locking the door. Lyra stands there before Bon Bon trots up with a shocked look on her face “what was that Ly?” She asked

“Uh… I tried to talk to him… and I saw his…” she shuddered before Bon Bon rolled her eyes and starts to drag Lyra back to her shop.

Inside both Tim and Pinkie were panting hard as they luckily escaped the crazed mare. Tim then flops on his back to the ground both tired and shocked in that whole encounter “what in gods name was wrong with that mare?” He asked sitting up

“That Lyra, she was the only mare who knew about humans… about them being a myth and all… but now that you and the others… ooh” she then gives an apologetic look “yeah sorry but uh… she is in to you” she said hopping up and trots back to the counter.

“What? Wait Pinkie what should I do?” Tim said getting in his knees as he crawls over to the mare. She giggles lightly but then grabs the chef hat “I’m baking this time Timmy” she said hopping to the kitchen, leaving the pink knight along on the floor. If this mare is that bad… what in all names of gods would he do?

“O…okay Pinkie” he groaned in defeat as he slowly gets up and adjust his helmet and walks over the door, he sighed softly as not seeing Lyra not around ‘boy! The others are going to hate her’ he thinks before gagging at the thought of seeing her try to—

“I’m not going to think any more of that thank you very much!” He said slapping his face before seeing Hopper and Gummy step on the counter. They run by him and hop off as they walk around before they both stop to look at the window. Tim chuckled at that and spots the door opening as he spots some ponies walking in.

“Hi everyone! Welcome to Sugar cube corner, what would you like to order?”

Side Mission Smithed and Apples

Logbook

Okay! So having my first mission with the crew was awesome! Me and Forgor have put a good number in the team, and now I’ll be make everyone there own weapons now as well, I’ll get paid for everything! I can respect both Rai and Tim’s choice of maces while Zane and Steven get the swords but ah Patrick, ah I’ll give him some credits for an axe! I’m now officially part of the crew after helping with the troll beast attack, Gabriel Ironhide Blacksmith of the Castle Crashers signing off on May 15

The birds all slowly begin to chirp as the sun slowly shines on their nest, some hop out and then flies out towards the farm called Sweet Apple Acres, where the farmer Applejack and her human guest Gabriel the weapon smith. Today was going to be a day of introduction of meeting the Apple Family! And the tall man is very excited to meet them finally. The farmer mare had told the human some stories of her family. She has two siblings, her being in the middle, Big Mac being the oldest while Apple Bloom is the opposite. Then was the elderly mare, Granny Smith being the keeper of the farm for decades will have the strong judgement on the blacksmith and his deer frog.

Gabriel groans as he stumbles out of the barn with his helmet off, he scratched his beard and then yawned loudly “AHHHH!” And scares the birds all away from the barn house. He soon laughed to him self and stretched his back hearing the pops all over. Soon he then looked back inside the barn looking at the pile of hay all sit there, it was his temporary bed for now. Forgor hops out of the pile and blinks as he eyes his owner slowly reach down to pick his helmet up.

“And good morning to you Forgor!”

“Ribbit”

Gabriel chuckled as he picks his pet up and has him rest in his shoulder. His spirit creature blinks at him and slumps on his shoulder pad already trying to sleep again. Gabriel soon walks back out but stopped to be greeted by the orange farmer Applejack, her eyes are narrowed “Gabriel…” she said slowly.

“Oh! Hallo Jack!” The smith greets waving a hand at the mare, he leans down to be at a good eye level as the mare keep her frown on him. “Why did you scream? Y’all woke my whole fam!” She growled before stomping a hoof in the ground to show her anger. Gabriel rubs the top of his helmet with a brow furrowed under his helmet.

“Screaming? I did not scream” he said

Bonk!

The 7 foot tall human now on the floor rubbing the top of his helmet as a dent was made there from the strong farmer. Man getting hit on the top of the head sucks… that one bad thing about wearing helmets. Gabriel growled as he frowns at Applejack trot away from the door, leaving Gabriel to himself as he gets ready more.

Castle Crashers Elements of magic

“So! What’s on the agenda today Jack?” Gabriel asked, he started calling Applejack “jack” last night and seamed to have the free card to get away with it. The orange mare snorts for a second and adjusts her hat “well, we got some apples that need some bucking of course! Ah howdy Mac!” Applejack greet over to the big stallion who trots over to the pair, Mac eyes the tall human and chuckled at him making the blacksmith cross his arms “and what so funny pony?” He asked leaning down to look at the pony at eye level.

“Big deer golem” Mac said before he chuckled again, Gabriel stands up and give a questioning look shrugged at that, Applejack on the other hand was frowning at Mac “now Brother, Gabriel is not a golem. He is a human” She corrected lifting a hoof towards the purple knight. Gabriel then chuckled lightly as Mac rolled his eyes at his sister.

“Tiny pony”

Now the two were puffing out their chest as they gets close with each other, Gabriel gets on a knee to be eye level with the stallion, his damaged helmet glairs at the pony as smoke slowly puff out of the smiths helm, but then the two both laughed. Mac punched Gabriel’s shoulder and Gabriel does the same, Applejack snorts while rolling her eye ‘stallions’

“Okay Colts! Let’s get back on the point please?” The mare said stomping a hoof to making the two stop and walk over to her as they eye the valley of trees.

“Okay so now that we have a extra helper we should be able to complete this harvest in about 6 hours” the farmer said but stop as Gabriel walks over to the tree and places a hand on it, both farmers look at each other before Gabriel then lifts a hand up charging his magic.

“Hey now partner, don’t go braking our trees now!” She said before Gabriel slowly starts yelling “Iron…. Punch#1!” And swing a magic fist at the tree sending the breeze down the direction of tree, and soon the apples all that sit on the tree all tumble down on the ground.

“BWA HAHA! 10 trees, my record has been set!” The human said before looking over at Applejack and Big Mac who have there jaws dropped. Forgor hops off Gabs shoulder and bites the apple, Gabriel then rubs the top of his helmet “is something all—“

Bonk!

“You rotten apple! We apples don’t use magic!” Applejack said now standing over the purple knight as he has a single tear fall out of his helmet, while rubbing the top of this helm ‘gods… why the top of the helmet?’ Gabriel whined as he slowly gets up to look at the farm eye the tree that the human punched. Lifting a hoof she feels the tree’s body not at all harmed one bit.

“You… you didn’t damage it?” She said as Gabriel picks his deer frog up, Mac quickly trots out with buckets while picking apples too. “Of course! Why would I damage nature?” He said before dusting his body armor.

“Sis…” Mac said making Applejack trot up and drop her jaws as she sees how far the apples fell, Applejack then whistles and slapped Mac’s shoulder “Mac! Get the wagon, have Bloom help too! I have a Golem to talk too” she said before now narrowing her eyes up at the tall human.

“Gabriel, I’ll need you explain on what and how you did that? Cus if I see you use magic again I swear—“

“I didn’t” Gabriel interrupted smirking under his helm as he lifts Forgor up with a hand. “He did” he said simple before he tossed his deer frog up high and soon poofs away. Applejack gasped at the frog’s disappearance, she then sees Gabriel get on a knee and look down at Applejack still.

“Forgor and me are connected, he is… not just an average animal… he is a spirit creature, my family’s spirit creature” he said before taking his hammer out to point at the top of his bludgeon. Indeed the symbol of the deer frog sits well, the mare sits on her rump as Gabriel puts his hammer down in front of the mare to see it.

“I don’t usually share my past of my power… but you make me laugh, so your good, can you keep a secret?” He asked making Applejack snort and crossed her chest with a hoof, Gabriel nods and takes his helmet off as he eyes Applejack with a warm smile.

“I’m a Blacksmith, who has been part of my family’s legacy for generations… and the legend of the deer frogs… are descendants of an old smith god… and the Ironhide were the nails to them… and the frogs are the hammer” Gabriel said before Forgor then poof on the grass In front of Gabriel. “Now my magic is completely different, I’ve had Forgor with me and we saw… a wave of magic hit us… I though we were going to die… but when I felt Forgor carry me… I was saved… and then” Gabriel picks his Frog up and tossed him in the air. His magic charges and shoots a beam of smoke out and hits his frog.

“Ribbit!” And the tiny frog grows big and bigger before Forgor was big as the barn. Applejack yelps and stands back up with the human as he barks out laughing loudly. “He and I work well together!” Gabriel said pulling a dagger out his pocket. He tossed it up high and a big tongue shoots and eats it quickly.

“He… he ate it!” She said as the frog burps and then shrinks back into a ball and floats around the human again, Gabriel laughed again but this time he pull his helmet back on and lifts a hand up. The smoke aura surrounds his hand as a smoky hammer takes form

“My magic is an odd on… when Patrick saw it he called it “the most useful spell” and he was right, and that when this Ironhide became… the blacksmith knight of the Castle Crashers!” He beamed before picking his hammer up high. Applejack smiles lightly but then eyes her sister and brother trot by with the wagon full of apples.

“That does not explain the apples that all feel off, if it’s not magic then what is it?” She said frowning lightly but the smiles stayed. Gabriel then chuckled as he looks back at the trees.

“Ah that… that’s my uh… my body’s doing that” he lied making the mare frown a little at that. He sees it and sighed and slumps down a bit “okay, the magic may have enhanced my body” he said honestly, Jack looks closely and then blinks for a second ‘he’s not lying…’

“You’re not lying…” she said as the human stands tall, the mare looks at the trees and then the human, then back. She then nearly runs back to the human and grabbed his chest armor “can you teach me?” She said making the smith blink for a moment, the smirks did not leave his face under his helm.

“It won’t be easy… strength means more then changing the body Jack, it’s your soul too” Gabriel said as he eyes the trees. He looks back and claps his hands together “but I say we should get to work first” he said before he then picks an apple. Applejack nods and picks some buckets up and both quickly starts picking Apples up.

After getting the proper introduction out of the way, with also having the fields be done surprisingly 3 hours breaking the family record, Gabriel of course did not use his powers but shows a trick that human have then ponies don’t. Picking apple is a trick that can have the human know if apples were f
Good or bad quicker and plus with his brute strength, he can get trees down in a flash.

“So I take that your family has rules with Apple bucking?” He asked while holding some piles of hay, Applejack nods at that while she drops the pile on the ground to talk “we do. Magic is nothing special unless you can pick something up, magic can do that too… but why use magic when you have hooves dang nab-it!” She said making Gabriel laugh loudly “spoken like a true worker! I get the pain too!” He said making her laugh along with the human.

“Heya Applejack?” Apple Bloom says trotting over to the man and mare with a hopeful smile on her face, the two look down to her as she starts hopping around for a moment “I think I got it, I think I got it!” She says making the two chuckle lightly as the filly stops and snorts at Gabriel

“Mr Gabby! Can you help get my cutie mark?” She said making Gabriel laughed and slowly picks the mare up with a hand. She yelps for a second but then giggles as Gabriel holds her close “very well little one! What do you need help with this “cutie mark” thing?” He said. Applejack snorts and stands next to the smith explaining that ponies have to earn a mark by finding their natural talents. Gabriel finds it odd but clears his thought with having these ponies having tattoos on there flanks.

As the tall human was walking down the path, he follow the filly closely before next thing he sees is his leg then caught in tight ropes “uh… why is there a rope tied to my leg?” He asked looking down at the filly in his arms, Bloom’s ears fall flat and she cursed under her breath while Applejack groans “Bloom how many times did it tell y’all can’t be trying to trap anypony for a cutie mark, and also stop using my ropes too” Jack said as the filly sighed in defeat “I better let the girls know… thanks Mr Gabby” she said as the man puts her down.

“Hey, don’t give up. You might have your talent come to you someday. Eat, and stay strong and you just might find one” he said petting Bloom’s mane. She blushed a bit but then hugged Gabriel’s leg before she then bolts down the path. Applejack trots up and stands next to the human with a warm smile on her face.

“Hey, thanks for that partner, she has been really trying to get one for awhile now” she said

Gabriel nods and stretches his back “understandable, it goes with being young I guess, you ponies are not so different from human” he said

“That’s not all” Applejack said making the smith look down at her, brow furrowed now as she looks at the landscape “Bloom and her friends have to deal with, a bully… and she is something, but every time we try to let Bloom’s teach know, she always come back” Applejack then looks down at the ground hiding her eyes with her hat.

“Poor Bloom came home one day with tears in her eyes… those… that bully always tries to find someway to make them cry” Applejack said before she then looks up at the human, Gabriel was not popping his knuckles as he eyes the farmer tell her story… but he already gotten the message and has something on his mind to say.

“Your all way too similar to us” he said simply before sitting down in the grounds path, he looks down at Applejack do the same and sits close as they watch the sky, “We have humans like that… but more violent” he said, Applejack looks at the human just looks down at the ground “Jack I wish to know who this pony is…” he said changing the subject off of him and looks back at the farmer.

“Why… you’re not going too” Gabriel shakes his head “then… what are you going to do?” She asked

“To keep your sister happy, no one deserves this kind of treatment, a bully will face me and keep her distance away from Bloom to keep her safe” He said not standing back up as Forgor appears on his shoulder, and soon the deer frog grows big again and has the human on his back

“For that’s what a Castle Crasher does!” He said now lifting his hammer up high as Forgor just sits there. Applejack then gets on her hind legs and shouts out too “yeehaw! Thank you so much for your help Gabriel!” She said as the human hops off as the frogs poof again.

“Not at all, you have help my team and me, I’ll do just as much as I can to pay my debt to you” he said making the farmer laugh as they soon walk down the path way back to the farm. They say nothing else on the road back to the barn, Mac was finished with the wagons while Granny Smith was sitting on her chair with a big grin on her face. They nod at the two as they sit down on the porch, Gabriel sits on the dirt due for the fact of his hight, he might even be heavy enough to brake the floor, he wished he can see inside but also wishes to not intrude on privacy.

So Gabriel sits on the dirt with his dear frog out looking up at the beautiful sky… it felt so calming for Gabriel… he hadn’t feel this in a long time… he smiles under his helmet and soon lays back fixing his back and lays on the side of the porch and soon begins to drift off to sleep. The rest all look at him as he was snoring quietly, Mac was the first one to speak “what did you talk about?” He asked

“Oh nothing, just about Applebloom’s situation with school bully's” said Applejack

“Ha! He would be the perfect one to show those two not to mess with an apple!” Granny Smith chimed in. Applejack nods and adjusts her hat to eye the sleeping human “he has a good heart… even if he is not from here, he is nice…”

“So you us gonna—“

“Don’t even think about that granny, we just met only two days ago” Jack said before getting up to the door “if y’all don’t mind, I’m gonna use it… I’ll be back down for a moment” she said leaving Mac and granny along on the porch, Mac looks at the human again as he slowly he gets up and yawns “I’m… going to rest in the barn, see you all later tonight” he said before he walks to the barn taking his helmet off along the way.

“100 bits on he might ask AJ out” Mac muttered

“Heh, I’ll buy that… but 200 if Applejack does it” Granny Smith said before the tow then bark out laughing out loud making the birds fly off towards the sky and clouds… today seamed like a perfectly normal day for the smith and the frog… another day will come for them both… but this time they will be watching over a certain filly in yellow.

Side Mission Lightning and clothing

Logbook

God I hate water! We were on a mission to deal with rogue pandas and next thing you know we get ambushed by a freaking sea cat! It must have been there leader because most of the pandas were on his back, and it was… something special if I say, The king help us back aboard before the river would have eaten us whole but… now I have soggy clothes and armor to attend to, hopefully it does rust… god I hate water, anyways This is Rai, Red knight of the Castle Crashers signing off on 29 of February

Rai sits on the floor as he keeps his eyes closed as he fells his power surge through his veins… it’s electrifying. His thoughts were cut short by the door opening. Looking over his shoulder he spot Sweetiebell, Rarity’s little sister trotting the man with his helmet on her back balanced very carefully “here is your helmet Rai! Rarity finished polishing the last of your gear” she said placing the helm on Rai’s laps. He smiles and pats the top of her mane “Arigatō” he said bowing his head down before he eyes his whole gear rest on a makeshift human mannequin.

Sweetie trots over to it and eyes the armor, noting the huge difference between the royal side of the helmet and shoulders but then stop to noticed the cloth hoodie for the chest. “So. Mind if I ask something?”

“Ask away”

“What’s with the hoodie? I saw Tim has a full gear of armor, but yours is so different. Why is that?” She asked making the human laugh a little, a simple question that he always get asked by peasants and other knights, even ponies too. Rai eyes the filly and smiles “well, I’m not like the rest of my brothers, the noble gear was made for regular knights, and me and the others being elemental beings, we get our attire different, Patrick dawns a simple overalls to remind him of his past life as once a farmer, Tim, Steven and Zane were part of a royal family so there armor was simple (except for Zane’s half helmet) but for Gabriel, he joined last so his was simple (plus he wanted antlers to represent his family’s belief)” Rai said now standing up to pick his helm, soon he placed the helmet on the headstand next to the armor and eyes it with pride.

“My armor is the representing my job and who I once was!” The workwear shouts before he laughed as he pats the top of the helmet, soon he grabs his helmet and puts it on and looks down at the filly smiling under his helmet

“Cus I’m the workwear of my group, and I show my pride in both the armor and the team!”

Rarity sighed as the human and her sister were laughing loudly, it’s been three days since the defeat of Nightmare moon and already the humans have made a reputation around town. Patrick is now helping Twilight with her new bookstore by being an assistant with the dragon Spike, Tim had apparently been hiding from a mare that’s been obsessed over him, Zane was still unknown, but from what Rainbow said is that he is looking for something up in the clouds, Steven is unknown too, Fluttershy had not shown up in town yet. And for the tall human Gabriel has been working with Applejack at the farm.

But as for Rai, it’s like a dream come true, Rarity struck gold on having someone with the same talent as her, Rai loves to make armor and show honor with them. His outfit at first was eye catching but as he said, you’ll would get used to it. Now Rai was walking down the step in full gear with Sweetiebell sitting on his shoulder. “Evening ma’am” he said bowing down a little before placing Sweetie down. Rarity smiles and trots over towards the human with a sly smile on her muzzle

“Well good morning dear human, how was your new bed?” She asked, Rai pats his chest and chuckled “the bed was perfect, and I’m in your debt for your hospitality” he said making the mare wave a hoof “that’s all good Mister Rai” she said making him slouch lightly, and roll his eyes under his helm before the door were opened. Both man and pony look over to see— “a royal guard?” Rarity said as the pony in gold armor walks up and bows at the two.

“Forgive me for the intrusion ma’am and sir, my name is Clash crusader, and I wish to see Mister Rai?” Clash said while looking at the human with hope in his eyes. The human then bows lightly “Sir, that would be me” Rai said. The guards smiles and bows again before the door opens again reviling another guard, but has on a more different set ‘must be a higher noble’ Rai thinks as he walks in. Clash was still bowing down as the guard trots up, Rarity is now bowing with Sweetie bell as the guard looks up at the human with a welcoming smilie.

“Greetings, names Shining Armor, captain of the Solar guards!”

Castle Crashers Elements of magic

“Captain… Sir!” Rai soon salutes to the pony as he shows respect to the high rank, Shining keeps the smile and salute back “at ease knight. Man the princess was not kidding about you golems” Shining said

“Humans, sir” Rai corrected before the captain nods to that, Shining then waves a hoof for Clash to trot up before Shining looks back “Right right, now the princess has put me on duty for a task, and you are the one she is interested to hear” Shining said making Rai tilt his head to one side, the red knight soon gets on a knee to be eye level with the captain as the stallion continues.

“You are needed in Canterlot for an experiment” Shining said before turning around to look towards the white unicorn, he smiles “and you mis Rarity are welcome—“

“Yes!” The fashion mare shouts out, Shining listed along with Clash and Rai, Rarity blushed and clears her throat and looks over to the young filly “Sweetiebell? Do you wish to come?” Asked Rarity witch the unicorn shakes her head “nah me and Applebloom are gonna try and get our cutie marks today! Mr Ironhide is going to help us with it too!” She said making Rarity scoff a bit, her and Gabriel are… not really the pair you would see talking too, Rai cringed at the thought of having the mare bonk him on the head thousands of times…

‘Bonking the top…. Poor Gabriel’

Clash and Shining soon trot towards the door with Rai and Rarity as the group make their perpetration too the capital, Canterlot! The walk through Ponyville was odd, it looked like the captain was trying to hide from someone, Rai asked about it which made the stallion nearly fall out of cover when they past golden oaks. Patrick was out probably looking for the mage, so all what was there is Twilight Sparkle, and the mare looked busy with somethings.

Shining smiles and gets out of cover and smiles wildly as the mare did not noticed him, his grin drops slowly as the mare continued trotting, and trotting and… she bumps into him. Twilight shifts a bit and looks up at Rai and Rarity.

“Oh hey? What are you two doing?” She said before noting the guard next to them, Clash runs the top of his head as he eyed his captain, who happens to be standing in shock as the mare looks left and right not noticing at all.

“What? Is something— crud! I need to get back to work, the princess has giving me a job. Uh I’ll be around later! Bye!” And soon she picks the book back up and trots off leaving Shining on the floor, Clash trots up with Rarity and Rai as they look down at him

“Uh… Captain?” Clash says

“She didn’t notice me…” Shining said making the group all sighed, Rai then points at the two “go head to the station, I’ll help the captain” the human said witch both the ponies nod and leave the human and the unicorn.

“Well guessing form you reaction that Twilight Is your sister?” Rai asked picking the stallion up to his legs. Shining snaps out of it and nods slowly ‘how did he know that?’ He thinks as both of them walk down the road, both Rarity and Clash are not to far up ahead so a little chat wouldn’t hurt.

“So. Mind asking more about this task sir?” Rai asked looking down at the guardpony, Shining adjusted his helmet before looking up at the man with a stern look “it’s something about our ranks armor sets, she believes that your teams armor is far more advanced then ours” Shining said before he bands his chest armor making a loud clank “but I think that she is worried that you gol— Humans are more powerful then us. Sure you got the elements and magic thing, but it’s not about the magic it’s—“

“The arm and the legs” Rai interpreted making the captain eye the man with curiosity, he soon thinks of a question “are your guys knights? Like royal knights?” Said Shining

Rai process the question very slowly as he can recall the last years of work. Of course there not nobles anymore, the king said so himself. But the last five years on earth the Castle Crashers have been swords for hire, so answering this shouldn’t be that hard. But it felt wrong to say at the same time, so Rai said only one thing.

“We used too” he answered not looking at the captain as they soon caught up with the pair. Rarity and Clash were laughing about something, but they catch their breath as the human and captain returned. “Ah Rai, Captain. We’ve got the ticket for Canterlot all ready for us” Rarity said before entering into the train, Clash looks at the two before bowing lightly letting them both go in next.

“Mr Rai? How well are your armors?” Shining asked

Rai takes his helm off and knocks on the top hard making a loud ring to it, Rarity eyes the helmet before she whispers about not to get it dirty. “My worlds regular armor is weak compared to my craftsmanship, my ways of making them feature magic in most for protection, but with also having one of the most strongest metal made with it two can make it indestructible” Rai says beaming his pride at the guards.

“Huh how odd indeed, but why do you have more of the fashion on your armor then your team?” Clash asked running the top is his head. Rai gave his explanation on his armor and just putting it simply saying that he loves making armor and shows it.

“But now thinking about it, I never thought somepony that makes armor for a living would become a knight” Clash says shifting in his seat as he asked “how did you become one?”

Rai hesitated at that, he doesn’t like talking about the past, his old family, or even his magic. “It’s… complicated” he admits “we enhanced humans don’t really become a knight” he said. Rarity was now interested and leans forward resting her head on the arm of the seat. Rai looks down at his helmet and then his hand, charging his lighting magic his hand soon starts glowing red, and then his eye surges out his magic. The ponies that sit next to him all flinched at the magic seep out of his eye. “We’re cursed in a way. Both a good and bad way, the good way is that we get more stamina then average humans…. But the bad way is that enhanced humans get treated like dirt” he says depleting his magic.

“I… I won’t ask anymore” Clash said now looking down, Shining sighed and looks out the window as they spot Canterlot in the distance, he soon looks back at the human with a determined look “well don’t worry about us Rai, we ponies alway welcome anyone” he said making the man smile. Sliding his helmet back on he claps his hands together and leans in towards the captain.

“So, mind explaining this plan more captain?”

So the plan is simple, the princess wants to test the human armor strength and compare it to pony armor and hopefully to see the difference. She also requests if the human can make armor for ponies too if her theory is correct. And Clash Crusader is the one who will be the tester on it. Rai was now at the Royal forge ready to meet the smith of Canterlot.

“Mr Pike can be a bit hard on us guards, but he is nice if you don’t get on his bad side” Clash said as him, Rarity and the human walk up the steps towards the forge. But as they approached the top a stick was lifted in front of them as they see an old grey stallion eyes the furnace filled with ingots.

“Human! Talk” the old stallion says making Rai flinch a bit under his helm before he bows lightly “hello my name is Rai… Thunderstone I seek the royal forger” the man said before he eyes the stick lift high up in the air before—

Bonk!

The red knight was now laying on his back while rubbing the top of his head as he groans in pain, he had never gotten hit in the top of his helmet before… wow…

“What… what was that… for?” The man said slowly getting back to his feet, the stallion soon smiles up at the human “forgive me… but I you remind me of someone” he said making the man grunt in frustration. Rarity and Clash were snickering a little before they regained their composure and eye the earth pony.

“Names Pike, but you can call me… Pike” Pike said. Rai groans a bit in frustration, this man is too much like Patrick when he gets annoyed and seek to bother others. Thoughts aside the pony torts over to the human with a big grin now as Rai looks around “uh… Pike? Captain armor sent me here to give you a list of—“

“Done” Pike beamed pulling a bag of the minerals out in front of the man, Rai jaw dropped before he picks the bag up and gasped “where the heck did you get this?” Rai asked as he sees all the items he has listed out. Celestia had done her homework… or she just read his mind or something.

“Form a friend along time ago” Pike said before trotting over to his furnace, dragging the ingot out with his bare hooves. “Let’s get crafting young master” Pike said quickly throwing a hammer toward the human. Rai smiles a little as he eyes the hammer, he takes the helmet off and hands it to Rarity before saying to the two “stand back and watch a master at his work” he said before Rai lifts the hammer up high.

“I assure you princess, I think these knight are worth something” Shining said while looking out the window eyeing the kingdom below him. Celestia was sitting close to the captain as they look out together “I’ll have to think on that Shining, the crystal empire sounds like they would need more guards” The princess said now looking down at the captain with a sly grin.

“Is the captain worried for the princess there or the marefirend?” Shining only blushed at that and snorts a bit “not because— hmpf okay maybe I’m saying that, but come on, these gol— humans are something special!” Shining said. Celestia nods at that, maybe sending some of them there could possibly help equestria “but these knight are already on a mission, the mage is… something I think? They say that he is evil” Celestia said now rubbing a hoof on her chin.

“Well we help them, kick that evil mages butt and have them as one of us!” Shining said pumping a hoof in the air. Celestia frowned before little Luna trots up towards the group “ah sister, what seems to be the problem?” She asked

“We’re thinking about adding the knights on their quest, and have them be part with equestria’s military” Shining explained to the princess of the night. The little princess smiles brightly thinking of the six humans, both her and Tia have been getting odd sense of déjà vu when seeing Patrick and Steven… but they put it aside for now. They might need a memory spell for later.

“How wonderful! I do enjoy the Castle Crashers, there humor shows more life in knights lives” Luna said with Shining grinning more now.

“And more lives will change the world too” Rai said making the group all look over to see the human stand brightly with Rarity, they bow politely as all three trot up to the two, Luna hop over to Rai and giggles lightly.

“Dear Thunderstone I guess you achieve the prototype armor?” Celestia said making the human stand tall before he turns to the side, lifting a hand up as they look where he points. At the end of the hall the rulers spot Lieutenant Crusader trot up with loud clank of the armor plating, the guard trots In slowly as he shows off the armor. It shows the same resemblance as Rai’s armor but with the helmet being more modified around the muzzle, also minus the hood.

“Here is your prototype of my armor ma’am. Rarity helped with the cloth for the inside to help make it comfortable to have on” Rai said as Clash takes a pose to show the armor, Rai smiles under his helmet as the pony moves more freely.

“With my armor I can have the pony move there limbs a lot faster then their original, and for the toughness…” the man quickly pulls his mace and swings it at the pony chest having a loud clank sound out of the room. The princess flinched a bit but then sighed as they see the pony stand still. Clash lifts the face plate and smiles brightly at the rulers.

“This armor is comfortable too, I feel like I could run a mile for week!” He said before bowing down at the human “thank you Mr Thunderstone!” And soon stands still as Shining trots up, and whistles loudly as he eyes the armor.

“A good work indeed Rai” he said

Rai chuckled a bit before he kneels down a lifts a hand to point at Rarity “don’t forget about Rarity, she has help too” he said making Rarity flush a bit before she bow before the rulers again, then she looks back at the human with a warm smile “thank you as well for having me experience such beautiful craft of armor Mr Rai” she said making the human laugh loudly.

“Now! I’ll be taking this armor out for a test fight, feel free if you wish to come along” Shining said now following Clash to the door, and before he leaves he looks back at the the two “thank you both for this armor” Clash said as he then opens the door and leaves. Rai looks down at Rarity and smiles lightly under his helmet before they both make the choice and bow once more to the princess and leave the castle.

But now back outside both Rai and Rarity let out a huge sigh as today was an interesting turn. “So… wanna get some metal? I think I have a shop to start in town” Rai said making Rarity jump in excitement.

“Absolutely darling! We have to think of a good name for it! And everything!” Rarity said making Rai look back up at the sky. You know maybe this world is not so bad, the ponies are so welcoming to them, and kind… Rai might have a chat with their boss about stay here… maybe…
