//------------------------------// // Meeting the mane 6 Pastrel ponies! AHHH! // Story: Duty Calls, mates! // by A Typical Reader //------------------------------// "AHHHH!" "Calm down, patriot!" "Um..." Soldier screamed in agony, at the sight of more, technicolor horses. "Baby Soldier stop shouting! You hurt ears!" Engineer and Medic just facepalmed, while Scout just stood there, completely into the soldier-yelling thing, while pondering about his mom. "I really miss my ma." Meanwhile... Twilight Sparkle just stood there, watching a bidepedal in a Red Neat uniform screaming. Mean while, a tall, huge human kept trying to shush down the uniform human. "Hello? Umm..." "Well, these brutes are certinally loud!" Rarity said. Fluttershy screamed, and hid behind a tree occupied by a family of squirrels. Pinkie Pie hopped up to Demo, and said "HI!" "AGHH!" Demo shouted and ran around drunkily, as Heavy managed to shush the Soldier. "Ahh... fine heavy! Just get your communist ass out of my face!" Applejack trotted towards Engineer. "Well, howdy!' "Heh.." Engineer grinned at the sound of his native accent/language. "Ahem!" Everyone/Everypony snapped to attention. "Who is Miss Twilight and her sissy friends?" "Umm...you're standing in front of them...." "Twilight!" "What?" "Me and my men has been sent here by your ruler, Princess Celestia! She wants us, with your sissy help, to get rid of these changelings." Soldier then thinks of many ugly pastrel spy ponies. "Dammit!" "So you're the ruffians that Twilight said was coming to take out the disgusting, horrifying, changelings." "I am not a ruffian! I am a man of WAR!!" Scout facepalms, and sighs, "Yes, we are. And were mercs." "Tough game, yea?" Rainbow Dash says as she zooms up and hovers in front of scout tauntingly. Scout glares, and pulled out his Boston Basher. "Scout, NO!" Medic rushes up and pulls Scout back. "Vat are you doing? Trying to hurt a feline? "I'm gonna show that little freak what it deserves!" Twilight groans, and cast a spell to hold Scout and Rainbow Dash in place. "STOP! We aren't enemies which each other!" Twilight then lets go of Scout and Dash, both which glare at each other. "Lets just get to the point! Follow me!" Twilight then leads the mercs and the ponies back to the crystal castle at the edge of Ponyville. Meanwhile... A Changeling, disguised as a pegasus pony named Cloud Dasher, watches as the mercs and mane 6 travel to the crystal castle. He smirks, and flies northeast to the northeast edge of Equestria. He lands, and undisguised in front to the entrance to the changeling hive with a crunch. "This will be good for the queen..." Two changeling guards salute him as he walked in. After a long series of chambers, he finally came upon the Queen's Throne Room. "My Queen.." "Yes?" "I have information about the 'people' that took down the attack on the train." Meanwhile, Back in Ponyville... "What the fack are we doing here?" "Its Twilights home." "Wait, we never got to introduce ourselves, ma'am." Twilight nodded, "You already know me. That there is Pinkie Pie-" "Hi!" "- and over there is Applejack, next to her is Rainbow Dash-" "Heh." "- Next to me is Rarity, and Fluttershy." Fluttershy whimpers, and hides behind Rarity. "Vats wrong?" "nothing." "My names' the Engineer." "Howdy, Engineer." "The one with the helmet is Soldier-" "Arrgh..." "The person with one eye is demoman." "Aye!" "This is scout." Scout sighs. "That is heavy, the one that is bald." "My name is Heavy Weapons Guy. And this is Sasha." He picks up his prized minigun, as most of the ponies gape at the size and weight of the minigun. "Whoa, thats cool." "The one with the glasses is medic." Fluttershy whimpers as Medic tries to calm her. "its Ok. I have pet doves back were I came from." Fluttershy looked up at him, and smiled. "Err.. its nice meeting you, Engineer." Twilight said. Scout then pulled out his Bonk!Atomic Punch! Drink and drank it. It cleared his mind, and he ran out the door. Rainbow dash saw his speed, agility. "You showboat." Rainbow Dash smiled and flew after him. "Well, so much for having everyone here." Twilight said, and facehoofed. "Well, with the rest of you, just follow me to the castle's libary." "Ok, ma'am." They walked down the long, purple, crystal, hallway, and turned left at the 4th door.
