Chapter One.

*YAWN* As you get out of bed and do your ordinary day schedule 1. Get up 2. Have a shower and get dressed 3. Brush hair 4. Wake up spike. You hum as your walking though the library to get a book to read as you do everyday. The book this time is called "Love and Lust" the title speaks out to you so you grab it and have a seat. Half-way though the book Spike reminds you of some new spells that Princess Luna thought you age spells and time spells hard and advanced spells. argh "Those were hard spells" you say to the purple dragon "But i knew you could do it Twilight your magics getting stronger" "Is that all on the list Spike" you say checking the time "Uhh yeah that's all Twilight" "Alright Spike i want you to tidy the library while i'm gone i'll be back it a little bit ok?" you say exiting the room *sigh* "Ok Twilight".

As your walking through Ponyvile you feel strange like someponys watching your every move but you brush it off and keep walking. You meet up with Pinkie Pie at sugar cube corner "Hey Twilight" you hear as you pass the bakery "Whatcha ya doing Twi?" "Oh nothing just walking around Ponyvile" "oooo sounds fun can i join you?" "Uhh sure Pinkie why not" "Oh this is going to be fun" you continue your walk then all of a sudden you hear a familiar voice call above you "Hey Twilight Pinkie what are you to doing" Pinkie Pie obnoxiously answers for you "Nothing Rainbow just going for a walk what about you?" "First time Dash is up early you mumble to your self" "Nothing just clearing the sky i'll join you two later" " Oki-Dokie-Lokie Rainbow"

So you and Pinkie Pie make your way around Ponyville passing ponies as they greet and chatter with you and Pinkie, you pull Pinkie with you. Fianly Rainbow Dash catches up with you. "Hey, guys!" she calls out to you "Hi Rainbow dash" you call back, Pinkie starts bouncing and runs to Rainbow Dash and then you feel that strange feeling of being watched again, so you look around but see nothing. Then Rainbow Dash laughs as she flies over to you, "Pinkie tell Twilight that joke" She says "oh, I already told her it" she said. "We got to get to Princess Celestia, I need to talk to her." "Okay, Sparkles I'll see you later I'm gonna go race Apple Jack "Ooo, can I join?!" "Umm, sure Pinkie." "Okay, bye Twiilight see you later!" " alright, see you two later"you shout back as your walking. so you go to the castle and the guard takes you to Princess Celestia.

"Hello there faithful student i'm glad your here" Princess Celestia says as you walk into the room "H-Hello Princess what is this all about?" "I can't tell you full details Twilight" "Why not Princess do you not trust me?" "Teilight you are my faithful student of course i trust you"

************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Hahahahah shut up Fadeless the Princess needs to talk to us so lets go you to Pipe Dragon" you hear Pipe Dragon sigh and then say "Do we really have to?" "Yes the Princess wishes to speak with us" "But why us we're just homeless bandits, and how did she even know about us barley anypony does" Fadeless say's "I-i-i don't know but still low class *sigh* ponies like us why does the Princess want to speak with us i have no clue but i have the intention of finding out". As we enter the castle we show the royal guard our letter from the Princess's quarters as we go in the speak with her she shuts the door as quickly as we opened it "Well that was rude" NeWK1LL3R says from behind the doors

************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Hmm "What was that Princess" Twilight says "Nothing my faithful student now please be on with you ways" "Right Princess goodbye" Twilight says while exiting the Princess's room.

************************************************************************************************************************************************************
"Quick hide somepony's coming from the Princess's room" Pipe Dragon says as all off you fly up "Hmm that mare she looks familiar don't you think guys?" says Fadeless, you and Pipe Dragon shake your heads in a response for yes "isn't she that mare we were watching ealier" "Yes i belive so but what is she doing in the castle" "I have no idea". "Anyways let's go see what the Princess wanted" "Alright" as you enter the room Celestia looks straight at you like you've did somthing terribly wrong. "Uhh Hello Princess you wanted to speak with us" you all say "Yes as a matter of fact I do and please don't invite you self's into my room when the doors closed" "Uhh we're sorry but we thought that you uh would um how would i put this um wouldn't have anypony else in here at the time and that purple mare Princess she look very familiar who was she?" Fadeless says "Her names Twilight Sparkle and shes the reason why i called you here, you see a there's a threat that's been made against her and her friends i'm asking you to protect her" "Um Princess how do we protect her we are homeless ponies and we make a living off of thievery, we are just bandits and you trust us" "Shut up K1LL3R" Pipe Dragon whisper's in you ears. "Uh sorry Princess do continue" "Gladly, Twilight's had a threat made on her and her friends you must protect her NKFCPD is what the ponies have been calling you and I've caught on to what you do" "Uh you have" you all stutter "Yes and i wish for you help me and Luna will be leaving, i can't say where exactly but you must protect Twilight and her friends your my only hope if not Twilight will die and all of her friends you mustn't decline my offer NKFCPD, your my only hope for Twilight's sake and all her friends" "Okay Princess but you know what we do and it can't control us some times so you must know that if anything happens it's not our fault we didn't want to be like this is wasn't meant to be like this but the t-t-the factory tore our conscience and we say a rainbow maned pony as-well in the factory and in Ponyville i don't if shes been corrupted or not but we have our hopes"

Chapter Two.

"Anyway, our time spent in the factory has destroyed us. Well maybe not me as much, cause I can hold a steady job." FadelessCandy said with pride. "But why us?" Pipe Dragon asked confused to which Celestia replied "You ponies have no former existance in ponyville so you would be the best to be unditected." NKFCPD all thought about it and then they heard a knock a the throne doors and in came Fluttershy. "oh I'm sorry I think this is a bad time" she said with shyness doussing her. NKFCPD had to find a way out, and fast. They panicked but Celestia was on top of that with a teleportation spell that got the group of bandits out before Fluttershy could really see them. "Who were they?" Fluttershy asked politily, the Princess hesitated and finaly said "they were trick or treaters." and Fluttershy was confused as all Equestria and with a bunch of thoughts racing through her head she eventually believed the princess and said "I better get home for the trick or treaters." Then she raced back home.

As you guys walk into to Ponyville you hear a loud gasp from the left, you turn your head hoping in delight that
it's somepony you know but all you see is a group of friends, something there seems.... familiar to you but you can't
grasp it "You coming K1LL3R" you hear Fadeless shout from a distance "Uhh yeah i just got held up in thought"
you run catching up to your friends *sigh* you hear Pipe Dragon huff under his breathe. "Uhh whats wrong Pipe you seem more
down than usaual" "yeah it's just the Princess and all asking us to protect somepony we don't even know and she suspects us
to do a good job, IT'S UNCANNY!" Pipe Dragon yelled causing a scene you and Fadeless whom seem'd to forgotten about the aspect
of being in Ponyville felt enlightened to see Pipe Dragon coming out of his shell more and more. As you guys find an old shack
to rest in, But Fadeless reminds you of his 'Candy' shop so you go and rest there for the night instead of staying up and drinking
with your fellow bandits you decide to take a snooze one a cloud but then you hear a scream you try warning Fadeless and Pipe
Dragon but they're to drunk to respond. So you go and check out where the were about's of the scream it was loud didn't sound
like a filly, "Could there bo some really out for Twilight and her friends?" you whisper in your breath feeling hopeless on
where the scream came from. But you hear a faint yelp of some sort as your flying though the air you hear to loud and obnoxious
ponies flying behind you, you think it's just Fadeless and Pipe Dragon "Shut up you too or i'll come back there and knock more common sense
into your small measly brains" you shout back behind you, then the two ponies you yelled at fly forward cutting you off "What did you say?"
"I said shut up before i knock more sense in to your measly brains" you say in a snotty attitude. "I don't like your attitude mister
tough guy why don't you fix it before I do" said a large brown pegsus and the other one was a small kind of shady i don't care character

"Ha and what'll you to drunk idiots do to me you can barley fly in how drunk you are you couldn't even fight" you say in a remark
of they're attiude from before. "ok let's see mister tough guy i'll show you who can fight" he pulls out a knife and charges you
"Ha what do you think that little knifes gonna do hurt me hahahaha i laugh at your pitty" you say as the knifes stabed in your
arm you go to grab his arm and twist him around when Fadeless and Pipe Dragon stop you "Hey whats this we were in a middle of a
fight here whats your problem" "Nothing it's just that our friend here i- we don't want you getting hurt" Fadeless and Pipe Dragon say
"Hahaha hurt me you must be real foolish thing this weak pegasus could hurt me. As Fadeless and Pipe drag you away you like back
at the pegsi who attacked you with a smile only a mad man could make and insane death glare, "I hope we meet again" you whisper
the glare gave them the spooks and they fly away as fast as they could. Your laughing insanely as Pipe and Fadeless drag you into the candy shop
and lock you in the broken down freezer until you've calmed down by the time you did it's mourning and you haven't slept at all night.

Twillight wakes up to spike laughing she asks him why he's laughing and he says that he cant tell you cause he doesn't know why either
FadelessCandy and Pipe Dragon are out side with a laugh potion and they threw it in the window and spike breathed in the mist
so now he's laughing away. Twilight hears a giggle out side her window and FadelessCandy shut Pipe Dragon up so she doesn't find them
FadelessCandy takes Pipe Dragon to the pet parade just in time so twilight couldn't see them but Fluttershy does and she follows us
us but quickly loses us on account that we are faster flyers and she is quite slow but she saw Pipe dragons cutie mark: a Dragon
but the other one she couldn't make out. Pipe Dragon and FadelessCandy made there way back to FadelessCandy's candy shop. They let NeWK1LL3R
out of the cooler and they sat down and chatted about why they were doing what they were doing.

"Why'd you guys put me in the cooler?" "The effects from the factory came in" Fadeless said "The need to kill" PipeDragon added, "We got you out of there before you could do any damage but you're arm got stabbed" "Yeah, it stung this morning did you put any rubbing alcohol on it or something before you put the bandages on?" "PipeDragon found so herds in the Everfree forest so we crushed them up to get the oil and we used it to help with your wound, It should be fine in a couple of days" "Thanks" NeWK1LL3R said polity.

"SPIKE! I'm back" you yell as you walk into the house "Hi Twilight, what did the Princess want?" "Nothing really but she's leaving Equerstria to visit the ponies across the sea, so she told me that Luna will have the responsibility to raise the sun and moon" "Pinkie Pie came by looking for you, she said something about a party for these 3 new ponies in town and she was wondering if you could help her find them" Spike said cheerfully "Hahaha, Pinkie Pie and her party's, sure i'll help you find these 3 mysterious ponies" "YOU WILL!?" You hear PinkiePie tell "AH, PINKIE!!! What were you thinking you almost gave me a heart attack" "Oppsie Hehe, So you'll help us find those ponies?" "No Pinkie I wont it's another lost cause" You say as Flutershy walks in "Hi Fluttershy what do you need?" "H-Have you seen any trick or treater's?" "No, it's not nightmare night why?" "Because the Princess was talking with 3 new ponies I've never seen before and she said they were" "3 NEW PONIES? WAs one Black, and one Orange and one Purple?" "Uhm, yes why?" "WHERE DID THEY GO" "I Think I sa-" "WHERE DID THEY GO" "They went into the Everfree forest" "Why would anypony go there?"
