Borderlands: The Stable hunters.

"Tell us everything you know!" Twilight shouted at Trixie, holding herself back from putting a bullet in her smug brain.

"Do you always treat your guests like this? I am a mare of status, of fame, and yet you treat me like a frog that was sexually rejected!" Trixie said looking sternly at us all.

"Wait what? A frog? Is there something wrong with that brain of yours or did I hear you wrong?" Twilight asked looking extremely confused.

"This is getting us nowhere," I said sighing. The rage was beginning to build up inside me. I rammed at Trixie and shoved her against the wall. I could tell I was hurting her, but that was just making it more satisfying.

"TELL ME ABOUT THE STABLE NOW!" I shouted pushing harder.

"Ow! Please stop!!" Trixie said, having to force what air was left in her lungs to say so. She was struggling to move and I could see I was choking her, but I still didn't stop.

"JUST SAY YOU'LL TELL US AND I'LL STOP!!" I shouted, getting more and more impatient with this ungrateful pony.

"O................k," she gasped as I moved away from her.

"Now what do you know?" Twilight asked again. Trixie regained her breath for a minute and replied.

"Ok. I know this. The Stable is an unbelievable source of power. Although when the last one was opened, it did contain the God of Chaos. The element that began to grow all across the planet afterwards actually sort of proves my point. Equestrium has some of the most unusual physical properties of any element known to ponykind. From what I hear, a new Stable has been found by none other than handsome Applejack. This also proves both my 'I hate you Trixie' theory and my 'Many Stables' theory. The 'I hate you Trixie' theory implies that there is a god watching over me, and that he makes my world a living hell and drives people away from me... rather than the occasional vomiting at the sight of certain ponies. The 'Many Stables' theory states that there was not only one Stable, but hundreds if not thousands of Stables waiting for a vessel to open them. This vessel being the Stable Key. I have no idea what is held inside these Stables, but they may be linked to a number of things: The near-extinction/almost-complete disappearance of the Alicorn race, why are there Sirens, the growth of Equestrium, why my hooves ache after a long walk in a pool of blood, it could mean anything...and everything... "

"Ok what's this about a new element?" I asked interested by her information.

"Well, before I was captured, I had noticed a large amount of Hornperion mining operations in odd areas where an odd purple material was being extracted from the ground. Naturally curious, I snuck in and stole some of the material that had been refined. Having several P.H.Ds, thus, I could tell that this was a completely foreign element to the world of science. As it was mostly found near old Equestrian artifacts and I overheard some of the miners talking about it, I began to call it 'Equestrium'. I have no idea what it does, but apparently a lot of companies have been purchasing it from Hornperion. It's been happening ever since the stable opened, which would explain how they got so rich so fast. It must be powerful if so many ponies want it. Any more questions?"

"Do you know anything about the location of the Stable Key?" Twilight asked. I looked at her, as she has a similar look to my own. I could tell she found this as interesting as I did. I looked at Big Mac quickly too. He was tweaking his Gatling gun, and didn't seem to have much interest in what Trixie was saying. I couldn't see Fluttershy so I assume she left.

"No, I can't tell you where it is, but I can tell you who has it. I had obtained the key after the Stable had been opened, but then there was the incident at New Ponyville, and Applejack came to me personally...almost killed me trying to obtain it. With my body broken and my mind in bits, I could do nothing as she beat what was left of me. I eventually passed out and somehow survived, by divine intervention it seems. That was the last I saw of the key. I don't know what she said fully, but she mentioned something about it needing to be charged."

"Oh shit!" I heard a voice say from the stairs. It was Shining Armor.

"This changes everything! I need to leave, and find out Applejack's plans or we won't even have a chance. You four, I need you to do a little job for me. You will need to go to a place rather far from here, and bring everyone to Sanctuary. It's the only place that will be safe now. You're going to a little town called Lyre'sberg."

"Sound's friendly," Big Mac chuckled.

"There's a boat not too far out from here. Your H.U.D. will display its location. It will take you there safely, and hopefully help you get back. Good luck," Shining Armor gave us a graceful hoof-salute, and we went off back upstairs to prepare.

"Lyre'sburg here we come!" I shouted. Us, the four adventurers on a quest to save the day, for some humble townsfolk. Sometimes I feel like this stuff happens deliberately, but that's impossible...........right?
