It was an average afternoon within the city of Canterlot. Ponies of high society were talking with one another about their plans for the weekend. Everything seemed normal until a bright yellow portal opened atop of an alley way. "AAAAaahhh!" The seven mercs screamed as they landed in the alleyway, hitting the ground with a hard thud.
Slash got up removing all refuse from his shoulders. "Well that was...."
"A hard landing?" Outlook said completing the alligator's sentence.
"Look horsey!" Kooker said as he was started to run towards a pony dressed up in a tuxedo. Knowing the chameleon he was going to hug it like a stuffed animal from a carnival.
"No Kooker!" Scalor said as he grabbed Kooker by the tail pulling back into the alley hoping not to cause attention.
"Why not?" Kooker asked disappointed wanting to hug the equine.
"We don't want to make a bold impression on the locals right?" Slash said trying his best to cheer his brother up from being so sad.
"Yeah, thanks big brother." Kooker said jumping onto a nearby trash can and hugged his brother.
"Well we need to start a stake out so we can figure out where we are." Outlook said as his wings were going in various directions trying to act like a spy.
"Speaking of steaks I'm getting hungry." Slash said as his stomach started to grumble clutching it in desperation.
"Cant it wait?" Circuit Breaker said in annoyance.
"No." Slash said as his stomach grumbled more violently.
"Quick get those boxes and wagon!" Slash said as they used the boxes to cover themselves up while using the wagon as a transport.
Soon
The team was blitzing through out Canterlot trying their best to find a restaurant. "You're gonna be okay Slash!" Circuit yelled nervously towards Slash.
"Lights fading fast!" Slash said as he moved sporadically.
"Scalor, Outlook, Razor give me some info!" The mole said Hoping to get the current information on a nearby area with food for their starving gator friend.
"Keep your glasses on!" Razor said as she ran across the roof tops trying to draw attention away from the civilians below.
"Ah, nerd jokes very funny." Circuit Said in a sarcastic fashion knowing his road runner companion was mocking him again.
"We're on it Circuit Breaker don't worry." Outlook said as he flew over the area following his two allies.
"We're not gonna make it." Circuit sad in worry.
"Don't feed us the negativities buddy." Scalor said running behind Razor on the roofs.
"We're too late!" Circuit yelled in panic.
"Not on my clock." Scalor said landing on the ground, his friends soon joined him and looked at the donut shop just as it closed.
"Really?" Razor said in complete anger thinking the timing was completely idiotic.
"Goodbye my friends." Slash said acting as if he was going to die.
"Slash you really need to see a doctor about this because this is..." Circuit tried to finish his sentence, but was distracted seeing his alligator friend acting like a drama queen.
"Just remember the good times." Slash said weakly still acting stupid.
"This always happens when you skip your afternoon sweet snack." Circuit said figuring out what was really wrong with his friend.
"But what about...." Slash tried to make an excuse but was quickly interrupted by his friend.
"No a box of raisins don't count." Circuit said knowing that Slash's healthy food excuse wasn't going to cut it this time.
"But it was snack sized!" Slash said trying to get out of the argument as quickly as possible.
"No buts!" Circuit replied angrily knowing that Slash was being a crybaby
"Guys?" Circuit said looking for his three pals, "And just like that they're gone." he said as he saw his three friends weren't even around them.
Later
"After those thieves!" A pony dressed in golden armor said as he and others dressed in armor chased the group of animals mercenaries around the city.
"Why couldn't we order a pizza like everyone else?" Circuit Breaker asked seeing Scalor carrying a couple boxes of donuts with him.
"Oooh sprinkles." Slash said as he jammed four donuts into his mouth ending his hunger. Eventually the group ran towards another alley way.
"I think they went this way!" A guard said as they went in another direction of the group. Dice poked his head out of the alley to see if the mob of armored ponies had left.
"Why are we letting something blind look for us?" Razor said thinking having a blind animal on a team of nothing but seeing animals was stupid.
"The coast is clear my friends." Dice said returning to his friends in the alley.
"Well besides getting chased by armored horses I Have to say this place is pretty neat." Outlook said enjoying the stolen food.
"A lot better than home in ways." Razor added to Outlook's statement.
"So munch I feel like singing a song." Scalor said happily as his voice started to become louder.
"Great now we gotta hear his singing." Razor said annoyingly as she pulled out some earplugs thinking the fish's singing was horrible.
Look here my friends there's color everywhere.
And look there's no smog in the air
Look here.
I can't believe my eyes, we must be dreaming, wake up, guys, this isn't fair!
What's this?
Look here my friends
There's something very wrong
What's this?
The ponies are singing songs?
Look here
The streets are lined with many ponies laughing
All of them seem so happy, have we possibly gone loopy?
What is this?
Look here!
The ponies are all laughing instead of running away
They're busy living life, and not even staying at bay
There's joy on every face
Oh, I can't believe my robot eye
And behind my scales I feel a warmth coming from inside.
What's this?
They're lifting thing up, with magic?
Why that looks so cool, yet weird
They're gathering around a statue of a pony with a beard
Look here
Look here
In here they've got a marks on their butts, how queer
And who would ever think
And why?
They're coats are very strange
They're colors are in a wide range
And there's a smile on everyone
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
This place looks fun, oh so fun
Oh, could it be we found a better place?
What's this?
Oh my, look here?
The little ones are asleep
But look, there's nothing underneath
No beasts, no monsters here to scream and scare them
Or ensnare them, only cozy, fuzzy things inside their dreamland
Look here!
The monsters are all missing
And the bad guys can't be found
And in their place there seems to be
Good feeling all around
Instead of shrieks, I swear
There is music in the air
The smell of cakes and pies
Are absolutely everywhere
The sights, the sounds
They're everywhere and all around
I've never felt so great before
The darkened place inside of us is filling up
We simply cannot get enough
I love it, oh, I love it
Oh, my friends wouldn't you agree
We've got to know
We've got to know
What is this place that we have found?
What is this?
Just as Scalor was finishing his song he bumped into two winged and horned ponies in jewelry. One was midnight blue with a mane that resembled a night time sky, the other one was pure white with a brightly colored mane,"That is why you never microwave peanut butter kids." he said incoherently as he passed out.
"Um could you please tell me why your friend has slammed himself into us." The white pony asked completely confused looking at the six animals standing before her and her sister.
"Look ma'am there is a perfectly good explanation for all of this." Dice said knowing that his team going to be in deep trouble if an explanation wasn't given soon.
"There they are, the thieves that took our donuts!" The group of armored ponies yelled as they arrived where the group was.
"Oy this day just isn't getting any better." Circuit Breaker said slapping his paw against his face.
