//------------------------------// // Further Inconveniences // Story: Tusk's Equestrian time // by Wither //------------------------------// Princess' POV <><><><><><> "Sister! Art thou ready to depart and deal with this threat? We must leave at once to catch it by surprise." "Yes Luna I am ready, quickly we must gather Stark Shield and the others. I have taken the liberty to send a letter to Princess Twilight to inform her to be ready. Now let us depart." Said Celestia as she exited her chambers and started to walk down the regal hallway with her sister close behind. As they walk down the hallway, the early morning sun beaming through the windows that look down on on the city of Canterlot, the two sisters are thinking of ways to defeat this "alien". "Sister, from what young Twilight has described in her letter, how would we we defeat this beast? It is described to shout lasers out of a stick, and a large one at that. She also says that this creature is nearly our height, and the lack of mobility it must have from carrying that large stick around would help us in a fight against it sister, would it not?" "I would think so Luna, but we can not be certain for we do not know it's capabilities. When we confront it, we must be very cautious." Responded Celestia as she and Luna left the castle towards the guard's barracks. Stark Shield POV <><><><><><><> "ALRIGHT YOU LAZY TOOLS! GET UP AND READY, WE MUST LEAVE HERE IMMEDIATELY!" I shouted over the bustle of the morons in front of me trying to get out of bed and put on their gear, unlike me because I have already put on my armor and done my morning training as any good soldier would, which is why I am currently trying to wake up my company before the princesses arrive. Knock knock "Stark Shield, I trust that you are ready and able to go to Ponyville?" Questioned Princess Celestia "Of course I am ready your royal highnesses, unlike the rest of my company" I say shooting a glare at the bumbling idiots behind me."Then we shall be off as soon as the others are ready." Said Princess Luna. I bow and turn around around to the privates desperately putting on and tightening pieces of armor. I look at Sparkling Comet, or as the others call him, Comet. He is the most tolerable out of them, as he actually listens to orders when they are given out. He is a grey Unicorn with a purple mane with a blue hue. Next is Steel breeze, a Pegasus Stallion that has a very light blue coat with a white mane. Then there is Nimble Armor, the absolute laziest out of all of them. He is a brown pegasus with a dark blue mane and the least competent out of all of them. And there is also Fleet Hoof, a tan Earth Pony with a black mane. He is the strongest out of them, though not nearly as strong as me. they all lack necessary traits to be in the Royal guard, except for one, which is their fighting skill. They are all amazing in a fight, not nearly my level which has taken years to get to, but they are still good. "Art thou ready to depart sergeant?" Questioned Luna. "Of course you majesty" I say and bow at the same time. "Aren't we?" I say to my squad who give a quick salute. "Then we shall be off" And with those words, the Princesses charge and release a long range teleportation spell in to Ponyville square. Twilight Sparkle POV <><><><><><> After I realized my mistake, I went over to wake Spike up as fast as possible. While I was running I didn't notice Spike coming and ran into him, and onto the hard crystalline floor."OH Spike! are ok?" "Yeah Twilight, i'm fine. But I got this letter from the Princess, it's probably a response about Tusk" He informs me to which I give a quick ok and snatch the letter from his grasp to read it over. Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle I have received your letter about this creature, and Luna and I are worried for and the elements safety, as well as every pony else's. We are coming to Ponyville with a guard force to try and negotiate with this creature. If we fail to do this, our actions may take a turn for the worse and become violent. We do this for you, and every pony's safety in Ponyville. We are are teleporting into Ponyville soon, see you then With luck to you and myself, Princess Celestia 'This is bad, this is really bad!' I keep thinking to myself. "Spike come on! we need to go warn Flutter Shy and Tusk!" I say as I quickly levitate Spike onto my back and rush out of the castle. I am immediately greeted by the morning sun, but I ignore it and head towards Flutter Shy's cottage. As soon as I get to her house I immediately give three hard knocks 3rd Pony POV <><><><><><> *KNOCK* *KNOCK* "OH! is someone at the door? who would be here this early?" FlutterShy says as she gets up off the couch and heads towards her door. As she opens it, she is quickly greeted by Twilight. "FlutterShy!" "Yes Twilight?" "We have a problem. I sent a letter to Princess Celestia explaining Tusk when I first saw him, after we dragged him up to my castle. And I explained him being a threat, so now Princess Celestia is coming here with a guard force to try and deal with Tusk!" Explained Twilight. "Oh no! I need to go and wake up Tusk!" FlutterShy exclaims as she quickly trots up the stairs into her bedroom. She opened to reveal Tusk still sleeping form."Hey Tusk, would you please wake up? It's ok if you don't want to" After those words left her mouth, he quickly stiffened and shot up as if ready for battle. "Who's the- oh, its you FlutterShy. Hehe sorry. Why did you wake me up?" "Oh, um Twilight is here and she made a tiny mistake. she sent a letter to Princess Celestia explaining how you could be a threat when she first met you, and now she is coming with a guard force to get you" Flutter Shy explained to Tusk. "Ok... this is unexpected, when will they arrive?" "Soon" Tusk responded by getting out of the bed, grabbing his DC-17 blaster pistol, and clicked a button on it. He went down stairs to greet Twilight. "Hey Tusk. So about that letter" "I know Twilight, FlutterShy explained it to me. And if she is right then we should probably go and try to explain to them. And by we, I mean you, cause they seem out for me" Said Tusk "That seems about right, lets go" Said Twilight as they left the building. In Ponyville square, or the market place, things were going well for the shop owners readying their stalls for the day to come, until *Flash, Pop* After that occurrence stood Princess Celestia and Luna with a squad of guards in front of them. "alright soldiers, we shall move out and cover as much ground as possible to deal with this threat!" Ordered Luna which followed by a chorus of salutes and 'yes your majesty. "But remember, if we find it, we must try and talk. We do not want violence to be our goal." Said Celestia which was once again followed by a chorus of 'yes your majesty!'. They started to walk towards Twilights castle, but half way through the market place Twilight Sparkle, FlutterShy and the Alien creature came down the road leading to the market place, which was greeted by surprise from the guards and the Princess', and the citizens around. Twilight walked forward explaining the situation "Princess, please allow me to explain, Tusk-" "Who is this 'Tusk' Twilight? Is he the creature" Asked Luna, to which Tusk move his hand a little closer to his pistol. "Yes Princess, he - Twilight was cut off a second time from the guard at front, or more famously known as Stark Shield "Watch out Princess! The creature is threatening us, he is going for the handle on his skirt! I shall defend you! CHARGE!" Shouted Stark Shield as he ran towards the clone spear raised high, to which the clone responded by pul;ling out his DC-17 Hand Pistol, putting it into stun mode and shooting the charging Stallion. As he fell to the ground, Princess Luna decided to take action "THE FEIND! It has killed fair Stark Shield! I shall take care of this sister!" She exclaimed as she charged up a spell and fired at Tusk. He tried to dodge but he wasn't fast enough as the magical hit him and propelled him several feet back, his helmet rolling away.
