Boats weren't my style. I could handle massive g-forces and spinning and speed of the air but the tossing and turning of a boat made me want to hurl. It was better for everypony that I flew above. I'd been trying to get my head around this whole situation for some time now, but for a up to that point I'd just been rolling with it. There was so much to think about and the fact that nobody else seemed to mention anything only made it more odd. Just who was this mysterious blue pony i've been blindly following, and why was applejack so obsessed with unlocking the stable? I flew straight into a cloud while i was daydreaming about how all of this was connected. "I need to focus." I said to myself blushing hoping nopony else saw that...

I could see land now and sped ahead to scout out the area the guys would have to wait to get started. There was a blizzard but from what i could see the place seemed rather barren. looked like no sane pony for miles and I honestly couldn't blame them. I descended and landed on the outskirts of the town.
Silence.
The only thing that could be heard was the chilling howls of the wind as the blizzard continued to rage nonstop.I continued further in and looked around for any signs of pony life. There stood a large figure near a wall of a cliff that the town was positioned beside. I wasn't sure if i should have be concerned with it though as it seemed to keep it's distance from me. I knocked on a door of one of the snow covered houses. Despite how dull and depressing this place seemed the snow made it rather nice to a point. There was no answer at the door. I began to hear a transmission on my hud...

"Hello fillies, colts and bandits, this is handsome Applejack. A group of evil stable hunters have arrived recently on the planet and i'm offering a huge pile of dough to the person how kills them or turns them in. 500,000,000 bits dead 1,000,000,000 bits for them alive, so i can have a little fun with 'em first. Our surveillance bots recently spotted them on a boat headed towards lyre'sberg so happy hunting."

"Shit" I said to myself. I received another transmission...

"A BILLION BITS!!! FELLAS GO SHOW THESE STABLE HUNTERS A WARM WELCOME!!!"

I wasn't sure who this pony was but it sounded like he was eager to kill us.I feel like it's always the same routine with these guys and it always ends the same way with them dying and nothing gained...I decided to warn the others
"Hey guys.did you...."
"yes....we did....and we're almost there now. Where are you?" Twilight replied
"I went to scout ahead.Seems like nopony's here. Why did your brother send us here when there's no one to..."
"sorry to interrupt your conversation but this town is not deserted. I'm still here meet me at my current accommodation here so i may give you a proper introduction. i'll give you the location now." a posh-sounding voice interrupted.
"Guess I spoke too soon. where's everypony else?" I asked.
"not now. wait until we meet in person then we talk"

A snow storm had began to brew as the other's arrived. The white snow cloaking the town and restricting our vision. We went together to the house marked out by the mystery pony, but the gate was blocked. we stopped and waited for somepony to notice us. I saw a shadow in the corner of my eye and looked around. There was a large white figure standing just out of sight. I couldn't make out what exactly was, but i was approaching fast. I pulled out my gun and shouted.
"You there. Stop or i'll shoot."
The others turned around to me but figure didn't stop. as it was getting closer it became more clear to me this wasn't a pony as it was using only 2 legs... of 6?
"Bullymongs!!!" Big mac shouted as he opened fire.
More of the creatures began jumping out of large crevices in the wall
"Great. More of them. Would you mind taking care of them while I open the gate for you?" The mystery pony asked.
"Doesn't look like we have much choice." I replied blowing one of their heads clean off.

Author's Note

The moon and the sun rely on each other like yin and yang. As long as there is day there will always be night and as long as there is night the day will come. This is a great reflection of good and bad and how one cannot exist without the other. That said I do not believe Luna is bad, evil or anything like that, in fact the only reason she turned was due to being misunderstood and dark forces feeding on her negative attributes when she was in a negative state. So given the opportunity in current form she'd never bring eternal night...
Just a random fun-fact/rant I thought i'd put in for getting so many story views :D thanks everypony for the support and i'll try to keep posting chapters!
Should try not to set a date however as I never seem to meet them.
