My Little Pony: Payday is Magic

by Twisted Gears

Operation 'Castle Crusher'

"...Okay, one last time. Hox, you scout through the first hallways, and tell via the Radio anything of interest. Wolf, you take care of any big doors we find. Chains, we'll have you around just in case, and I'll guide you in the hallways. Twitch, stay around the Zeppelin, we might need you sooner or later. Everypony got it?" Asked Dallas, picking his silenced M308.

Everypony nodded. In the same silence the Zeppelin arrived at Ponyville, it arrived at the gardens of Canterlot. This time, the zeppelin didn't took out the cloack, and it dropped the whole crew in the other side of the garden. Twilight included.

The night covered every movement they did, if we include that they now wore Silent Horseshoes. Innovations has been helping them way too much theese days. The Zeppelin left, and started to go around the Castle, in silence. Chains was carrying Twilight on his back, while she was tied till' the end, and with the infamous blue ducktape in her mouth. If she was going to be a payload, at least she's a silent one.

Hoxton was the first one to step front. "Allright guys, stay here." He quickly crossed the garden. It was empty. Nopony was in the area. Only one guard was at the door that led to the castle. Hoxton noticed this to the group, and after a quick discussion, they decided to convince the Guard to lay low.

They decided that Wolf would go to the left, Dallas to the right, and Hoxton would jump in if necesary. Chains would jump out next, dropping Twilight somewhere safe.

"...HOOFS UP MOTHERBUCKER!" Shouted Wolf, aiming his Betsy at the Guard's face. He quickly lifted his javelin with his magic, but he was quickly stopped by Dallas's Revolver, aimed at his neck.

"To. The. Ground." Said Dallas, observing the guard's reaction. He quickly jumped back, and started to swoop his Javelin in the air. Then, Chains showed up.

"KISS THE FLOOR!" He shouted, aiming his JP36 at the Guard's chest.

Overwhelmed by three armed-to-the-teeth criminals wearing the creepiest clown masks the Guard has ever seen, he decided to drop the Javelin and pray for his life.

"Now, stay quiet!" Ordered Dallas, placing a Magic-Inhibitor ring on his horn. Next, he was tied up, and dropped at the side of the door. Chains came back for Twilight, that was in the same situation of the Guard.

Hoxton showed up, moving silently between everypony, and went to the door. He was an experiended lock-picker, even for how hard it is for hooves. After a minute, the door was unlocked, and they went inside.

When they crossed the first hallway, carrying both Twilight and the Guard, he started to shout for help.

Dallas gun-whipped him, knocking him out. Hoxton quickly crossed to the end of the hallway, to check if there was anypony there.

...And there was somepony there. Two Royal Guards were standing in front of a door heard the call of help, and decided to rush there.

Hoxton quickly noticed this to the group, and Dallas pulled out his M308.

When the two Guards showed up, Dallas was waiting. Two silenced shots were necesary to pull them both down, leaving them uncontious.

Wolf didn't liked too much the idea of Less deaths as possible that Bain gave to them. Something about Cleaner costs, and more time in custody.

The two guards were tied together, and dumped inside one of the empty rooms of the castle. They also dumped the Guard of the entrance there. Chains had the idea of dumping Twilight there too, but Bain interrupted.

"Change of plans. We need Twilight in the Mirror. Once you're there, you will know why." Said the ominous Stallion voice from the Radio.

They all nodded, and continued their labour. After fifteen minutes going around the Castle, they finally reached the Eastern Wing, where the Golden Mirror was supposed to be at.

After another check of rooms, and convincing a few guards, they arrived at the desired room...

---

"Holy shit, Dallas... Look at this thing!" Exclaimed Hoxton, observing the two-floor gold-stained mirror. The reflective part was black, and it was surrounded by insane amounts of gold decorations.

Dallas placed his hoof on Hox's mask. "SHH! Be quest, dangit! Bain, what now?"

"Right, now we need some blood of Twilight to make it work properly. Don't kill her, for the love of Celestia..." Replied the voice.

Twilight didn't heard that, but she knew that something was going to go bad for her. Chains dropped her in the ground, and she looked up.

"So, how do we do this? We beat her till' she drops anythin'? Or we just cut her open?" Asked Chains, hitting his hooves together repeatedly.

"The old style. Wolf, knife."

Wolf walked by, and pulled out a penknife from his pocket. He made a quick cut in Twilight's hoof.

"What now?"

"The mirror has a small container at its left. Just let her blood drip in." Answered Bain.

Chains lifted Twilight, and placed her hoof in the mentioned container. One mililiter of blood dripped in, and...

...Nothing happened.

"Um, Bain. Is something supposed to happen now?" Asked Dallas.

"Well, acording to this, Alicorn blood's supposed to activate the mirror."

"Well, um... Not to annoy, but as far as I know, she is not really an Alicorn." Interrupted Wolf.

"How so?"

"From the news I have, she was an Unicorn before. She was turned into an Alicorn while we were out of business." Said Wolf, scratching the chin of his mask, like if he was thinking.

Twilight was very confused, and she was suffering from her hoof. She looked around, but she could not talk.

"Dangit. Then, we must look after Luna, or Celestia, if you guys are up for the challenge." Said Bain's voice.

"Tartarus, no! I'm not going against any Princess! That's just like jumping in front of a Cloaker!" Replied Wolf.

"Well, then we have to get Luna. Hox, the door." Hoxton closed the door, and Dallas came close to Twilight, and he took out a syringe from his pockets. "Okay, little princess. You're going to sleep now."

...Next, they dispossed of Twilight, injecting the tranquilizer in her blood for the fifth time during her caption. Next, they placed her behind a column at the end of the huge room.

"To Luna we go, right?" Asked Chains, looking over a window.

"No, hold on a second. I have an idea." Said Bain. Next, some raido interferences could be heard.

"Yeah, yeah.... Whatever... I know, I know... Yeah, five years... Just go to the Golden Mirror, I have some guys waiting there. Once you're done, they will go... Okay, bye... Okay, now just wait. Please, for the love of Celestia, don't do anything stupid..." Said the voice in the Radio again.

"...Anything we should be aware of?" Asked Dallas.

"I'm sending Luna over there. We made a deal: She helps, and you all leave the next second." Replied Bain's voice.

"...So, now we are making deals with the Royalty?" Said Hoxton, sitting in the side of the room.

"We make deals with everypony. Now, just shut up and wait."

...After ten minutes of boring waiting, Luna opened the door that led to the Golden Mirror. The whole crew jumped and aimed their weapons at her.

"...This is how you all recieve a Princess?" Luna asked, raising her jaw over the whole crew.

Everypony aimed down. Chains was the first one, followed by Dallas and Hoxton. Wolf doubted a bit, and finally aimed his Betsy down.

"Bain says that we need blood," Spoke up Dallas, "To activate that mirror. Alicorn blood."

Luna sighed. She walked close to the mirror, and made a quick opening on her own hoof, with her horn. A bit of blood dripped in the container, and the black reflective part turned yellow. "Now, go. If Tia figures out that you're all here..."

"Fine, whatever..."

"Oh, now you guys only need to lift the mirror out of the tower. Luna, my dear, could you do us a little extra help?" Asked Bain.

"...Bain says that we need you teleport the Mirror out of this castle." Said Dallas, remembering that the Radio can only be heard by the masks they wore.

Luna concentrated some energy in her horn. "Where do you want the Mirror at?"

"I guess that the Garden would do." Said Wolf. Next, the mirror imploded, and Chains watched it reapear in the edges of the Garden. It was pretty obvious, as it was a two-story tall, golden mirror.

"Guys, we have to move quick. Anypony could see that." Said Chains, pointing at the Mirror.

"Well, um... Thanks for you help, Princess." Bowed Dallas.

"Just go." She said, and she walked away, like if nothing ever happened.

It took to them five minutes to leave the Castle, as this time they did not had to clear every hallway they walked into. Once at the Garden, a different surprice was waiting there...

---

"BULLDOZEEEEER!" Shouted Wolf, when he saw a Buffalo walking on its hind legs, carrying a huge Betsy on its front legs. Behind it, two Unicorns were wearing large metal pieces, and behind them, another Unicorn was carrying a Tazer on its horn. It was emmiting a constant 'Btzzzzz' sound.

"HOLY, BUCKING, CELESTIA!" Shouted Chains, as they took cover behind a low wall.

"Didn't they sent everypony to Ponyville?!" Asked Dallas to the Radio channel.

"Well, from the Camera feed, Ponyville's infested with Royals now... Maybe they were left behind or something. Well, you have to fight your way out!"

"No shit sherlock!" Shouted Wolf, getting out of cover and dropping all his magazine of shotgun rounds on the Bulldozer. Every single pellet bounced on its armour.

...Next, a terrifying sound raised over the rest. A constant static sound, that made Wolf more insane that what he is.

It was the constant menace of a Cloaker, and its electric baton.

"HOLY! I'M FRIGGIN' GOING OUT OF HERE!" He shouted, running back inside the castle.

"Wolf, wait!" Shouted Hoxton, running after him.

"Chains, you know what to do!"

"Got it!" Chains pulled out his JP36 and his Compact-5, one on each hoof, and stated to unload everything he had on the group of special Royals.

Dallas came out of his cover, and aimed at the Tazer with is rifle. He made one of his sure-shots, but the tranquilizzer dart bounced on the Tazer's helmet...

---

"...WOLF! WHERE THE HAY ARE YOU!?" Shouted out Hoxton, running down the Hallways. The constant static was starting to earn more loudness over time. Something was going from bad to worse. "Wolfie! Get back here, you bad puppy!"

...No responce. Instead, the static disappeared, followed by a loud electric discharge sound. "...Shit!"

The cloaker got Wolf. When Hoxton arrived from where the sound came, he saw a Mare, wearing a tight suit, and night vision goggles, beating the cutiemark out of Wolf's flank, with an electric baton. She was shouting something about "Nopony messes with the Royal Guard!". Hoxton aimed his Bernetti-9 hoofgun, and unloaded the whole magazine in the Mare.

...Every single bulled bounced on the suit the Mare was wearing. She just looked behind, and ran away, towards the opened window. She just jumped down, and arrived at the Garden.

Hoxton walked towards Wolf, that was suffering spasms from the electric discharges the Cloaker left on him.

"Hey, you okay?"

"B... Buck... Y.... You... Get me... Up...." Wolf barely managed to say, as he was still shaking in the ground.

Hoxton took out a small Adrenaline syringe from his pocket, and injected it at Wolf's neck. Then, he helped him get up. "You allright?"

"Y... Yeah..." He replied.

"I don't know, you seem a bit... Shocked." Hoxton was smiling, both on his mask, and behind it.

"...That's not funny, you psicho."

"I'm not the one that was throwed in a mental institution, Wolf."

Wolf gulped. "...Don't make me remember that."

"Anyways, we still have a Bulldozer to kill."

"...I think I have an idea. Bain...?"

looks blandly.......

twilight IS an alicorn. full booded, all range alicorn. and from the evidence, alicorns appear from ponies to begin with.
Cadance shwos that there is a pattern to it. cadance was born a pegasus. during her youngest days she encountered a pony who was using a wicked amulet that drained and manipulated love and consumed hatred. cadance, managed to figure out how love works and managed to take the amulet away. not but a few moments after, she vanished into that strange plane that twilight went to and met celestai, becoming an alicorn.

from this we can determine that alicorns are basically buddahs........... buddahs are said to be humans that somehow gained divinity by some virtue and meditation. more than likely celestia AND luna had to go through some similar process to become alicorns.
though both of the regal sisters are different in some manner........... best i could think is that they are further trasscended in comparison to the other ones. whether or not their state needs to be achived of if it is part of some kind of alicorn development i do not know.

-For me, she's an Artificial Alicorn, not like Celestia and Luna. FAKE!

-...In what kind of universe yu take thoose theories from? TELL ME!

-...I TOLD YOU SPECIFICALLY IN THE AUTHOR'S NOTE TO PM ME THIIIIIS!

[lordofmyth]

3955108 the book crystal heart's spell. the books are considered to be part of the storyline of the series.
within is revealed the origin of cadance. she wa an orphan pegasus, stumbled upon crazy witch mare, took her artifact, and went through the whole alicorn thingy.

i have my own theory about the whole thing being triggered by magical artifacts and such, but that is sitll mine. what is not mere theory is that it is clear that the power that ultimately changes them into alicorns came from theri own bodies. you see it with the hwole bells and whistles when twilight ascended.
if it was artificial something would have been implanted, not something inside of the alicorn changed or even awakened. but nope, in the cases, magic came from body, and their became alicorns.

so tis about as artificial as a frog made from a tadpole.

[lordofmyth]

3955108 so basically, twilight is full blooded alicorn. head canon is invalid. so is cadance.

still this idea could work. could be less she is not a real alicorn and more they needed a matured alicorn. you can't get eggs out of baby chicks. and since the older alicorns have those nebula manes and the younger ones don't, it could be an indication of maturation.
....... if you realize that it means a lot of energy must be in theri bodies for their manes to animate like that, it would make sense that they would have a lot more energy per drop of blood then a younger alicorn.
of course these guys wouldn't understand that. hell ponies even becoming alicorns is not common knowledge, so how would they know how they mature?

.......and i did not see that message at the end. mitigated by going back and deleting a few old comments.

definitely questioning luna not making reference to twilight though. even if she is with them, i would have expected a threat at least. perhaps along these lines.
"Oh, before you go, i must tell you....... I owe my very soul to twilight, and the other element bearers. So i must warn you, if any harm befalls her......... You will wish i would merely kill you. You will beg for it for the rest of your lives, and will force Death to wait till your bodies have lived their mortal span, and you will clamber shrieking into his carriage, desperate to escape your mortal coils."
"Seriously, i highly doubt you could do that."
Luna's eyes suddenly change, becoming cold, draconian, "It depends on you. Is the wickedness in you small enough that the night terrors are bearable? can you stand to have the rest of your nights turned to edlritch mockeries of sleep? is it truly worth the risk?....... we will see. or hopefully, we will not, and you will have the mind to realize you all must sleep eventually."

[lordofmyth]

3955108 and the moral of that story kids is, never piss off an entity that can enter your dreams and freddy krueger your ass for the rest of your days.

(I see that you decided to comment 3 times before I answer )

1- K, then Alicorns are made out of Energy. Excellent, I have new material to counter them!

2- Young Alicorn blood doesn't work for the Golden Mirror anyways...

3- They dumped Twilight away from Luna's sight. I guess that I'll have to add that to the chapter.

4- LUNA WORKS FOR CRIMENET, DANGIT! There! I just friggin' Spoiled other readers for you.

5- My moral of the story: Don't piss off both, the Royals, or CrimeNet. Each one of them has a way to make your life impossible! ...Or finishing it.

[lordofmyth]

3959271 no they are not MADE of energy. its that all ponies have magic energy. fully developed alicorns are incredibly powerful so they likely have a lot more more than likely. so nopes, no special advantages against them. stand in some middle ground.

yeah you kinda did have it seem luna just walked into there seeing twilight bound and gagged on someone's back and all.........
then again she already knew they had twilight to begin with, so even if she could NOT see her she knew they had her as a hostage. so threats.

also a message from luna.

Luna- is this strange contraption working pinkie pie?
Pinkie Pie- don't worry, it is! just hurry up please! if we use up my energy enough to make me all wobbily i won't be able to bake that birthday cake!!
Luna- right. now, i must ask, strange monkey who writes stories. WHY would i work for an organization where i would naturally outlive every single member of said organization? i am an immortal alicorn. within only a century there would be newer faces. and i will be the one who knows the most of all. not to mention that i could probably obliterate the entire organization with nightmares alone. it hard to be efficient and make good decisions when you are dreaming of either being chased by demons or watching pornographic images of granny smith and goldie delicious while you sleep.
Pinkie- eeewwwwww, that is gross luna! must........bleach............brain............. with gingerale............ heck i am not even gay in the closest sotry depiction we are in and it won't get out of my head!
Luna- my apologies dearest pinkie. either way, did you not wonder how my sister keeps ahead of her sicophants? that is because she has seen the greatest grandparents in diapers.......... in a since a criminal organization would want nothing to do with me. for i will eventually know everything about them and take over. it is a matter of time. and i have more time than even the collective members put together. the bset they could do is blackmail me and hope i forget they did in the next thirty years....... which i would not.
Pinkie- also it was pretty obvious she was part of it all wehn she mentioned them. a few chapters back. no offense. subtlty and plot twist are nto your cups of tea. heck they are not even cups of cider, whisky, or even sasperilla, and you have lots of sass too. oooh, you know what, sasperilla sounds so good now. so lets..

connection lost do to sudden leave for sasperilla...............
sometimes my own mind betrays me.

-You just felt in one of my traps!

-Then, why that line from before?

My response:

...Because you're on Fimfiction, and I'm the one making the story here. I have control over your toughts, like it or not.

Well, that was the easy way. Now, for something more serious.

You've been stuck in the moon for a thousand years. You still have some hate against your sister, and the oportunity that CrimeNet gave you is the best one you could take to mess up with Tia, hitting her in the weakest spots...

-...Now, thanks to you, I have an insane obsession with Granny Smith. Buck you!

-...Next, yeah. My mind betrays me every hour, if it's not creating voices, it makes me commit mistakes, like NOT SHOUTING AT YOU FOR NOT DISCUSSING THIS VIA PM!

[lordofmyth]

3959388 reconnecting Pinkie Pie
Pinkie- well we technically NOT on fimfiction. considering i am a semischicophrenia created voice representing the voice of some show/fandom limbo, it seems unlikely the character are any more than illusions.. and fanfic is not an exucrse of a lack of effort!! i ah seen it far too mu/

connection disconnected, again. disruption source; Twilight Sparkle deactivating device to prevent pinkie pie from going on another 'ponies don't eat meat cupcakes and i would not make pony cupcakes' rant.

and what i meant was that if we are talking about volume of energy, moer than likely there would be more inside of celestia and luna in comaprison to other beings.

[Twisted Gears]

3959455

...That's why I'm making special Harmonic Field Emmiters, with the names of Luna and Celestia printed on them. Ohohoho, they'll see...

...But I'll have to think on how to fit everything in the story. Think, think...

[lordofmyth]

3959468 unfortunately how do you prepare such a thing when you cannot test it on anything nearly as powerful?........ likely cause such a thing is likely to obliterate anyone who annoys them.

[Twisted Gears]

3959476

...Like you?

Anyways, I'll make it have sence. Mine's like many of the other stories around; It doesn't make sence till' you have read every single chapter!
(Of course, You have to wait till' It's done!)

[lordofmyth]

3959488 it hsould make sense when it reaches that point though.

[Twisted Gears]

3959500

But of course, my good sire! Just sit tight, and wait till' I'm done messing with your brains!
