//------------------------------// // The New Leeroy // Story: Super Equestria // by PonyofTacos //------------------------------// The skies over Griffon's Roar started to fill with the war cries of the griffon army. The beasts of war rallied for the upcoming onslaught. In front of them was a giant floating structure releasing smaller objects from its midriff. They could only guess that what ever those objects were. Though their purpose was obvious to all the warriors present. To protect the floating structure. The flock's noise was then silenced by the mighty roar of the griffon king Steeled Talons. His deep voice boomed through out the landscape, as he gave his rallying speech to steel his army's will. "Today my fellow warriors, our land is faced with a new foe!," bellowed the powerful griffon "It has invaded our land and threatens our people! Will we stand for this?!" "NO!," roared the mighty flock, the force of their voices shook the trees. "Then CHARGE, my brothers and sisters CHARGE!," The army of griffons rushed foward with fury and force, unrelenting force. The Federation comms were overloaded. The pilots could hear the booming voice's of the enemy and started filling the channels with miscellaneous chatter and profanity about the event. "What the hell was that!?!" "So I wasn't the only one who heard that!?" "All of us fuckin' heard that." "That didn't sound like no space pirate I ever heard." "What the hell did it say?" "All right let's do this!" "Something about fighting." "LLLEEEERRRROOOOYYY..." "Who the hell set him off?!" "...JJJEEENNKKKIIINNNSSS!!" "Aw hell!" A lone fighter charged foward to meet the enemy. "Damnit Leeroy! One of these days your gonna get us all killed!" With that said, the rest of the fighters followed suit and the comms channels started to clear up. Lyra had been searching all of Ponyville for her newest friend. Everypony she asked gave her the same answer. "Haven't seen her since Pinkie's party." Speaking of the party, Lyra decided to look for Pinkie and her friends to see if they have seen Samus today. Her first stop was Sugarcube Corner as it was closest. "Hiya Mister and Missus Cake," greeted the seafoam green unicorn cheerfully. "Hello," the Cakes responded in unision, equally cheerful. "Have you seen Pinkie lately?," asked Lyra. "Not since this morning," replied the merry Mrs.Cake. "Pinkie said she was gonna go meet up with her friends at the library." "Ok, thanks!," Lyra said, satisfied with the information. The unicorn proceeded to the library only to find a distraught Spike inside. "Where could she have gone?!," the worried dragon asked himself, pacing as he did so. "It's not like her to just leave with out writing a note or a to-do list." The baby dragon didn't notice Lyra's appearance. "Hey, Spike." "Gah!," the dragon exclaimed in surprise. "Sorry, is anypony else here?," inquired the unicorn. "Nope(.avi). Twilight and Samus were here earlier. They were discussing something about a plan. What for I don't know," responded the still worried Spike. It hit Lyra like a rock. It's finally happening. They left for Canterlot to negotiate with that Federation. Lyra's ears flattend in dismay. She would've liked to have gone or at least known. I know! I can ask Spike to send a letter to the princess! Then maybe I can get to talk to Samus and Spike finds out where Twilight is! Her ears perked back up. "Hey Spike," called the unicorn. "Can you write the princess a letter for me?" There was a sigh in relief when the ponies and Samus saw Rainbow Dash on a cloud making it's way towards the castle. They could obviously see the chase had worn the pegasus out as she was sleeping and letting the wind carry her cloud back to Canterlot. "RAINBOW DASH!," shouted Pinkie in an attempt to wake her napping friend. The party pony was successful as she got a yawn and an angry glare from Rainbow. "I'm up, I'm up," said the pegasus in a tired tone. "I almost executed a Sonic Rainboom chasing that thing." "Did Ah hear correctly? There's somepony faster than Rainbow?," Applejack asked mockingly. "No pony is faster than me!," Rainbow Dash said defensively. "Obviously, I was going easy on that thing." "Rainbow, you just contradicted yourself," Twiligh said matter of factly. "I did not!," exclaimed the still defensive pegasus. "You obviously did! If you were going--, wait!," the lavender unicorn blurted out. A whisp of smoke swirled it's way toward's the princess. It transformed itself into a letter. "Who used Spike to-- OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOMYGOSH I totally forgot to tell Spike I was here he's probably worried sick!" "Indeed he is," Celestia said calmly. "There's also somepony looking for Samus here." "That would be Lyra," said the bounty hunter. "I knew somepony was missing from last time. Kind of a shame she isn't here now." The hunter's face drooped slightly. "That can be fixed my friend," smiled Celestia magicking a quill and parchment. She wrote a short message and sent it off to Ponyville. "Princess, what exactly did you write to them?," asked the curious Twilight. "I told them not to worry about you and to tell the other families you're here in Canterlot. After all, if they worried like this, won't the others?" "I see the logic in that," commented Rarity. "I don't want poor little Sweetie Belle to worry about me." "Ah agree, with ya Rarity," said Applejack. "Ah do feel guilty about leavin' Big Mac to buck them apple trees." "He's a strong stallion, he can buck just a few more trees than usual," Fluttershy said in an attempt to keep her friend from feeling too guilty. "It's not like--" Her sentence was interrupted by a crash as an armored figure smashed through the court doors. Wooden splinters flew through the air. The guards at the door rushed to deflect debris from hitting the princess. Everypony else dropped to the floor except for Samus who stood staring at the princess and her guards. When the wood stopped flying the ponies raised their heads to see the bounty hunter in a trance staring at the princess and her guards. "Ahem!," Applejack cleared her throat. This broke the hunter's trance and she armored up to face what had just smashed the courtroom doors. Everypony now back on their feet glared at the armored figure slowly rising to it's feet. It stood on all fours, larger than a pony, and it's voice shocked the Mane Six. "Princess Celestia of--" The thing was interrupted by the united gasps of "Gilda?!" Author's Notes/Excuses/Apologies/Rambling A crappy cliffhanger oh no! Oh well... Did any one get the Super Metroid reference hidden in there? (I tried to make it a Super Metroid reference.) It's in there you just gotta look. Also I apologize for the massive amount of profanity that may offend some one. Too bad FIMFiction doesn't give you a word count when your typing. That would be nice as I try to get all my chapters above 1,000 words.
