Worth: a tale of greatness

Thunder

`It was the middle of the night, and Rainbow Dash was pissed off. Twilight had miscast a spell while attempting to clear out an errant storm cloud during one of Pinkie Pie’s parties, and now she had to fix the resulting lightning storm! The storm quickly got worse until one unbelievably large lightning bolt of many hues struck the ground near the Everfree forest, then it suddenly stopped faster than you can say bad writing.


“Dash, how did you get the storm to stop like that?”, Twilight asked.

”I didn't,” Rainbow Dash said, “it stopped itself after a really big rainbow colored bolt struck by the everfree forest.”

“Maybe we should find where’in it hit,” said Applejack, and off they trotted. Upon arrival they saw something that made their jaws drop, there was a mid sized crater containing a large, rectangular lump of metal with a handle sticking out of it.

“What is it?” asked Rarity, “is it dangerous?”.

Twilight took a couple of tentative steps forward and noticed something. “Hey, there is something on the side of it.”

“What the buck is it?” asked Rainbow Dash, “come and see,” said Twilight. On the side of it were these words:

Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy,shall possess the power of THOR


Twilight extended a magic probe toward the object, and as it drew closer to the hammer she could feel a magical aura unlike any other she had ever felt, incredibly strong yet very natural, it felt like a thunder storm, only 10,000 times stronger, and as the probe reached it the object began to crackle with obscene amounts of electricity, at this point fearing for the lives of her and her friends she dissipated the probe.

Staring at the object as the crackling died down she realized what it was."I think that this a magic hammer," said Twilight, she then attempted to pick it up with her magic, and failed miserably. Pinkie then bounced over and clamped her jaws around the wood wrapped handle and pulled,to no avail, until she was buried up to her hindquarters in the ground. Applejack went over to help Pinkie up and , as soon as the pink pony was clear, took hold of the handle and gave it her all, and of course, the hammer refused to budge so much as a yoctometer.

"For Celestia's sake it's just a bucking hammer", yelled a still very angry rainbow dash Rainbow Dash, "I'll show you wimps how it's done", and with that she launched herself at it, and as she grabbed ahold of the leather hoop at the end the hammer stayed put, as did her grip, spinning her in a semi circle onto her back at high speeds, cringing in pain and infuriated she screamed, "Celestia's scrotum!"

Twilight then summoned paper and a quill and gave them to Spike,"send word to Princess Celestia at once", but as he was writing he coughed up a letter,

" It says that she knows that something has happened in Ponyville and that she
will arrive in the morning", read Spike,

" Ah guess there ain't nuthin' we can do but go on home," said Applejack.
