Book the Thirteenth A.K.A True measurements

I was busy dragging Trixie's god forsaken trailer, cart I don't care what it's called I just wanted it gone now, back to Ponyville. Trixie was busy getting ready as I took her to Manehatten (Forget that!). We had reached the outskirts of town when she poked her head out of the monstrosity I was dragging behind me. “Excuse me Tyler, The Great and Powerful Trixie demands to know where you are taking her.” I sighed as I began to think up an excuse, when one didn't come to mind I just hung my head. “To Ponyville oh great and name exhausting one,” I answered exasperated. I heard a slight fear creep into her voice, “Oh no, Trixie can not be seen here. They still haven't forgiven me about last time.” I sighed again, “You mean the Ursa Minor that two completely unrelated idiots brought? I would hardly call that your fault. Then again you did boast a bit. But, unless boasting is a crime punishable by banishment. . .” My voice trailed off as a pony glared at me, turned her nose up, and walked away from me. “Wow. That was harsh for a small amount of boasting.” “It might be worse,” was all she had to say.

I stopped by the TARDIS and informed The Doctor to see if anything had happened and found out that another human had appeared and had joined The Knight up at the castle and that he was currently visiting the elements to familiarize herself with the area, history, and the nuances of the pony society. I gave him a nod and transformed into my human form. I told The Doctor where I had left Trixie. Right before I left he warned me, “Don't go causing trouble unless you're prepared to handle the consequences.” I nodded and left to go to the one place I knew she's be, Twilight's home, the local library.

Upon reaching the tree I knocked on the door. There was a scurrying of hooves and the scrape of metal on wood. I looked back at my weapon and saw it had returned to it's original form so I placed it back to it's place on my side. The door opened and Twilight's eyes were closed as she rattled off, “I'm sorry, but the library is closed right. . .” it was then that she opened her eyes and saw me. I gave her a smile and small wave. “Hello, again, Twilight,” was the only thing I said to her. Her eyes went wide as some of the memories probably flooded back into her mind and she retreated back into the house. I stepped inside and said loudly, “I know your in here. Come out of hiding. Your the new human royal guard that crashed here and found the princesses. Which one do you follow? Sun or moon? Light or dark?” A door directly across from the entrance opened and she stood there with armor fitted for her that had the mark of the sun on it. “Well, that answered two question,” I said amused. “Surrender or perish from my blade,” came out of her mouth. I began to chuckle when the other elements began peeking from their hiding places. She growled at me as I held up a hand. I caught myself after a few more bursts of laughter and began to explain, “I'm sorry I just couldn't help but laugh at the sentence you just made, 'or die from my blade', sorry but the proper structure is 'die by my blade', and lets face it, I could probably beat you easily for no other reason than I have more experience here than you.” She charged me and I backed up through the door to the outside.

I had her chase me to the outskirts of town where I had left the zanbantou that my first opponent had left. I turned to here and lifted up the blade towards her and said, “Don't try to fight me. It will just end up tiring you out.” She charged at me again as I dropped the BFS that I had and dodged her thrust. I bopped her in the face with my right hand and she flew back almost to her original position. “Draw you weapon,” she exclaimed in anger. I shook my head and took a fighting stance similar to that of Guile. “Sorry lady, that's for a real fight. Not for this,” I retorted. She charged again and I mearly sidestepped her and tripped her. She fell flat on her face and I pinned sword arm and crouched. She tensed right before I patted her on the back of the head. “Try again in another few months,” I informed her as I got off her sword arm. She tuned to look up at me as I held my arm down to help her up. She smacked my hand away as she got up and readied herself. I heard a faint laugh come from nowhere(but nowhere is somewhere isn't it) and began looking around. She never dropped her stance as I was glancing around. I stopped and looked back at her. I sighed and held up my hands. “I surrender,” I spoke with my most bored voice. She was slightly taken aback by this but she recovered quickly.

The ride up to Canterlot was quiet. Not that I didn't try to initiate conversation. She just kept saying, “Be quite.”

We were outside the throne room with my 'captor', hands tied and her carrying my sword. The doors opened as we walked up to them and I took a seat in front of the princesses. I worked my wrists a bit to loosen the bond as they began to question me. “Who are you,” Celestia asked first. I replied, “No one. Well someone that is a no one.” They looked at me weird and I sighed, “My name is Brandon. Now kindly undo the rope. If I had wanted to kill you I'd of done it by now.” Celestia backed off a bit as Luna backed off behind her sister. Some of the guards pointed their spears at me. I smiled and remarked, “That'll do.” I swept the rope across the tip of the spear and grabbed it. I stood up to my full height and rolled my wrist. The door opened again as Shining Armor and The Knight rushed in. I bowed to them only speaking, “Hello, captain of the guards, Shining Armor. How's that wife of yours?” He immediately 'lit' his horn. “What did you do to Cadence,” He shouted as The Knight charged me. I deflected it with the spears haft and grabbed another spear. I deflected an attack coming from the lady knight from earlier. I heard the same laughter from before as I glanced around again. I noticed a small black mist coming off of one of the guards. I quickly repelled both of my combatants and jumped. I landed near the pony I thought had the aura and I looked at him.

A strike of lightning brought me out of my stare down with the guard and brought me over to the stain glass windows. I looked at Celestia and Luna and asked, “Any of these windows open?” I quickly followed up with, “Standard stupid question. Now let's see what that was.” I broke the stain glass window and looked out over the town. There was a big storm cloud swirling over the entire city. Everything in the room was shocked. The girl was the first to respond though, she charged me again. I turned and placed one of the spears across the window and at the last second stepped out of the way. She snapped the spear's shaft but it slowed her down enough to keep her from running off the edge, though she was teetering on the edge. I took this opportunity to take back my sword and pull her back in. She looked up at me as I looked back and said, “Now, don't say I never did anything for you.”

The pegasus guards agreed to check out the storm cloud as the rest of us waited. Well, they waited, I went out to investigate the area. Celestia gave me a charm that would allow me almost instantaneous communication with them. Three strikes of lightning stuck in three areas forming an equilateral triangle around the castle. The charm began to glow and vibrate. I stood out of sight from any passing pony and focused. Celestia and Luna appeared and began to question what that could be. I stopped them quickly. “Hey, you two,” I focused and the celestial sisters disappeared and the two armored humans appeared, “I want you to investigate two of those strikes. I'll take the one farthest from the castle.” And with that I stopped the conversation before they could respond and focused on the only other thing I could trust. “Hey, Shining, make sure nothing strange happens.” He begrudgingly nodded. I reached the area where the lightning strike and immediately readied myself. There was something in the air that reeked of trouble. I reached the scorched area, and found only a note. A card was attached to the note.

Hello, you may not know us, but we know you. We also know that the knight and the girl aren't with you. So be thankful that we're not after you. That stone you hold onto though, the Rainbow Moonstone, that emerald you found earlier, that interests us. We would ask that you hand it over, but we know your answer. So look up to your left after looking at the card.

I glanced at the card, another tarrot card, number XV The Devil. After crushing the card I glanced up and to the left. And noticed a man gliding down on jet black wings. He landed and I started making verbal observations, “Wings, seemingly the same type as a pegasus'. Jet black normally represents bad intent. Your here to get me to join that moron Nightmane or whatever her name is right?” He gawked at me before laughing. “Not quite,” came the reply, “Not her. The original ruler of Equestria. He has been imprisoned for long enough by those two power-hungry ponies. Over one thousand years, too long right?” He gave me a look that just ticked me off. A toothy smile, with no reservations. “I'll consider it on one condition,” I replied holding up the tarot card, “burn the card.” He pulled out a fan and swiped at the card and the card burst into flames. I laughed at this and responded, “That was amazing. I think. . .” I paused, “I'll stay where I am. I hope your dragon or whatever he is has a good rest. Now, where is the person that was here?” He sighed and swung the fan at me. I grabbed his arm and sighed. He started laughing and I instinctively let go and retreated a good distance as the area around him burst into flames.

“So, would you like to reconsider my proposition,” the man, named Issac, laughed, foot pushing down on the back of my head. “You know,” I said with a solemn smile, “I think you had a point there. I will join.” He put more weight on me as he appeared to bend down. “I was joking,” was all he said.
