//------------------------------// // Robbing the Mueseum // Story: The Adventures of the Equestria Girls // by SaiakuMonoNarrator //------------------------------// Once they had decided that they needed to steal the artifact, they had all dispersed, Sunset wanting them to enjoy the trip at least. Given how much they paid to come here it seemed only fair. While Sunset and Twilight made a plan, they would have their fun in Shibuya. Fluttershy looked over the statues of the mythical beasts from Japanese legend. Though she couldn’t do anything to turn into them, that didn’t change she always had an interest in animals.  She looked at the statue and smiled at one of them, focusing on the tanuki statue. “How adorable.” She said softly as Twilight talked a little away from her with Sunset. The Adventures of the Equestria Girls The rest of the day went pretty well, they even ended up going to a sushi restaurant. For all of them, it was the first time ever having any, making it a delight for all of them. Applejack yawned as she brushed her teeth while Rarity waited in their shared room. Honestly, when she had learned they would be roomates, she thought things might be bad with the fact that they were currently dating. Two teenagers, same room, in a trip abroad. …Things like that tended to end with a whole… shebang. But they were mature, they could sleep in the same room without doing anything. She smiled as she walked back to their room down the hallway. Besides, they were currently in a whole thing what with Sunset and Twilight making up a whole plan to rob a museum. It was better for everything that they remind calm and ma- She opened the door and walked in and looked at Rarity laying on their bed in a ‘draw me like one of your french girls pose’. “Why hello Darling.” She said as Applejack closed the door behind her. “I wanted to apologize for earlier.”  It was then Applejack noticed the lights were pretty… off. “Oh umm… You know, it was no big deal.” She said as she started stuttering. “I th-think we should go to bed.” “Yeah… Or…” Rarity said before she snapped her fingers and a crystalline structure appeared around her waist, pulling Applejack over to her. “We could have some fun tonight, instead of waiting for the big heist.” The farm girl blushed madly as she let herself get pulled into the bed. “I um… I I I think that-” They were both cut off by Rarity's phone ringing. The purple haired girl widened her eyes before she shoved the girl to the other bed that was in the room and grabbed the phone. “I’ll be right back!” She said as she blew a kiss towards her and ran out of the room. “...” Applejack sighed before she curled up in the blanket. “If she was having trouble with something, she’d tell me.” She said as she looked up to the ceiling.  She definitely wasn’t just saying that to herself. “So if we do that here… and that here…” Sunset said as she laid in her bed and looked up while Trixie looked at her from her bed. “Thinking this just might work.” “Are you seriously discussing your plan… in front of me?” She asked as she clenched her fists. “You know that if the cops question me I’m not gonna be able to deny them without lying, and we all know I can’t lie!” Sunset frowned and sat up before she turned her head to her. “You can lie.” “Yeah, about small things. Like liking your hairstyle, or liking your clothes-” “You said my leather jacket was the only good thing about my outfit.” “And that was the best I could do without actively dissing your whole outfit. But if I am under pressure I will pop like a balloon!” Trixie said as Sunset smiled and shook her head before she placed her hand on her shoulder. “Look, I was told stories of the other you by Starlight, you were a warrior who fought the changelings… with run of the mill magic tricks.” Trixie looked at her blandly as Sunset shook her head. “Okay, bad example, but don’t worry! You are gonna have nothing to do with this at all. It’ll be like you never even knew about this!”  “Really? Because just by listening to your problems I have become an accomplice to multiple crimes!” Trixie said as she raised her eyebrow. “I promise.” “Okay… Good.” “I just need you to put on a magic show for Vice Principal Luna.” “Oh, I can do that. Just a good old fashioned, mundane… Wait, when?” Trixie asked with a bit of suspicion. “No time really, just the specific date and time we’re doing the heist.” Trixie glared at her as her mouth gaped open. “Hey no one said you have to help with the heist! You’re just putting on a show specifically at the time me and my friends may or may not be robbing the museum.” “...” Trixie curled back up in her bed as she groaned and looked upwards.  “...So not a no. Good.” A few days later… “So, does everyone understand the plan?” Sunset asked as she briefed her friends as they finished the last tour of the day, and getting prepared to go back tomorrow. “Yeah, just need to maybe go over it one more time…” Twilight said hesitantly as she thought about it. She was, in all honesty, terrified of this plan. If they got caught, they would go to jail, and that wouldn’t look good on her scholarship, and no good college would accept her, if any at all! Fluttershy noticed her as they walked into their shared room. “Umm, Twilight?” She asked as she sat down on the bed next to her. “Everything all right?” Twilight looked at her before she started panicking. “I’m scared! What if we get caught? What if Sunset was wrong about this!? What if…” While she continued panicking, Fluttershy concentrated before she took the bespectacled girls hand and started rubbing it on her arm. “And if I’m in jail, I’ll be at the bottom of the pecking or-What are you doing?” Twilight asked as she looked at Fluttershy's arm, which was now covered in fur.  “I covered my arm in dog fur.” She said with a smile. “I find it helps calm people down… Though I can’t help anyone who doesn’t know about my powers so…” She said with murmur as she turned away while Twilight rubbed her arm. “It’s all… a really moot point…” “I mean, it’s working.” Twilight said as she shook her head. “You’re right, we’ve been going over this plan for quite some time, meaning there’s no way this could go wrong. But isn't it bad to be egotistical? Does that me-” “Twilight. Pet my arm.” Fluttershy said as she kept her petting the arm. Twilight sighed as she kept relaxing while exhaling. “...You’re right. This is gonna be fine. Everything is gonna be fine…. Did you practice this with Rainbow? You’re really good at it.” “...Yeah, I always help her calm down.”  Luna yawned as she lounged in the common room of the hotel they stayed at. “Ahhh, and Celestia said that I couldn’t handle this. I’m great at this.” She said as she laid down on the couch and put her legs on the table in front of her. “Vice Principal Luna!” She sat up immediately and stood up, turning around to see Trixie. “Would you be interested in a little magic show?” Luna frowned as she looked at her shuffling the cards. “...I don’t know… It seems a bit late.” They were starting the flight back tomorrow after all. “You should really get some sleep.” And I should be going to bed as well.  “Oh please? I’ve been practicing this entire trip! I’m sure I’ve got it down to a fine art!” Trixie said as she begged the woman, who frowned as she sighed. …I mean… it’s not like it could hurt… She thought as she sighed. “Sure. Why not?” She asked herself as she sat down. She knew of the schools resident magician, or failure of a magician. She honestly didn’t think the tricks would end well, but at the very least it could be entertaining. “Okay, pick a card.” Sunset arrived on the roof of the building next to the museum. Or rather, Twilight lifted her onto it with her power. “...This is demeaning. I think you know that.” “I wouldn’t say that.” Twilight said as Sunset could tell she was smirking under her mask. While this happened, Applejack leaped up onto the building, Rarity moved up on a platform of her own making, and Fluttershy flew upwards. “...Maybe.” Sunset glared at her from behind the goggles before she started walking over kneel on the edge of the roof.  “What is she doing?” Sunset sighed as she heard Twilight ask her friends behind her. “I think it’s like, to look cool.” Sunset scoffed and whirled around.  “I saw this in a comic book okay?!” She said as everyone held up their hands and backed. “Thank you. Rainbow would have appreciated this… Now Fluttershy, is the venom ready?” She asked as she turned to her shy friend, who nodded before she darted downwards towards the museums, taking a serpentine form. Step One: Fluttershy incapacitates the guards outside by creating venom in her mouth and storing it until she unleashes it upon them. One by one, each of the guards were knocked out. Naturally, Fluttershy had petsitted for snakes, only they had their venom sacs removed. Fluttershy could mimic animals she had been around and touched. Fortunately the magic mimicked them down to their original form. Meaning she had ample venom to use. As this happened, Sunset looked at Twilights suit. It was like the rest, black with a horse ear hood, goggles, and a face mask. Only streaming down her leg was a single purple star shape. Once Fluttershy had slithered in, Sunset started talking as they waited for her to knock out the guards inside the building. “So everyone has a name except you and Pinkie.” She said to Twilight, who sighed. “...I don’t really want a name.”  “But think about it, I’m Lull, Applejack is Rough Stock, Rarity is Couture, Fluttershy is Fauna Girl, Rainbow is Spectrum Streak, and… well Pinkie doesn’t have a name yet but-” Twilight suddenly started levitating down towards the museum entrance. Step Two: After Fluttershy goes into the Museum and incapacitates the guards in the security room, Twilight heads in to control the cameras and make sure that in terms of technology, we were never here. “...Okay she doesn’t want a name.” Sunset said as she smacked her lips and looked over at Rarity and Applejack. “Think I pushed too hard?” “Oh Ah’m sure that whatever is bothering her, she’ll tell ya in her own time.” Applejack said as she tapped her foot before she looked over at Rarity, clearly wanting to say something, before biting her tongue and turning away. Sunset clapped her hands as she counted down in her mind. They couldn’t bring their phones in case something went off, they got distracted, and since the phones technically tracked where they’ve been. So they had to count down from each step. From when Fluttershy had entered the museum, Twilight counted down how long it would take her to get to the Security Room and knock out the guards, and when she got to zero she went into the room, trusting that she had done the job by now. After that, Sunset started counting down how long it would take Twilight to turn off the cameras. And she just got to zero.  “All right, Twi should have shut down the cameras by now, everybody in.” Rarity made a structure for her and AJ to stand on as they all were brought down to the entrance, making sure to avoid being seen by anyone who may have been passing by. They all then tentatively entered the museum, making sure to be ready to run at the slightest hint of trouble. They looked around the empty museum, thinking it looked completely different at night. The statues look dull and lifeless, their shadows reaching from their figures. The paintings and tapestries looked grim and sad, not having as much color as in the day. Suddenly, the intercom flared up. “Let’s get this over with guys.” Twilights voice said over the system, causing them to smile. Sunset smiled before she ran off towards the exhibit. Step 3: I get the heart while everyone else patrols the museum just in case.  Rarity and Applejack walked together as they headed around the museum. “...Uh, Rare?” She asked her girlfriend, who turned to her. “Ah… are ya having trouble with something?” Rarity tilted her head at that before she laughed. “Darling! Thank you for worrying about me but there’s no problem at all!” Applejack stayed silent before she removed her goggles and mask, looking at her dryly. “Okay, ya do realize that Ah can tell when people lie ta me, so Ah know that you’ve been lying ta me this entire time.” Rarity froze as she realized that before she started stuttering. “I-I…” Applejack then put her hands on her shoulders and looked at her intently. “Whatever it is, I promise you that-” “My parents have been calling to set up a date for us to have dinner!” Rarity said quickly, causing Apple to freeze before she smiled. “Oh, well that’s not so ba… why did ya need to leave every time ya got on a call with them?” She asked her suspiciously, causing her to smack her lips and move her eyes away.   “Well I… You know… whenever they asked if I was seeing anyone I just said… I wasn’t.” Applejack paused as she looked at her, her eyes wide with disbelief as her mouth gaped open. “......” “Um… Darling?” “.......” “Sweetie?” Sunset walked up to the exhibit, the security measures having been turned off by Twilight. “Okay, you can do this. Just desecrating a corpse, and interfering with an exhibit.” She said to herself as she moved the lid off of the tomb, making sure to do it carefully. “Woah.” She said as she looked at the corpse, having been rotted beyond recognition. However, in the chest, she could sense the magic. “Just…part the chest, you can do it with how weak the body is.” She said to herself as she tried to guide her shaken body through it. “Wow, your breathing is so loud I can hear it from here.” Sunset immediately looked up as she heard a distorted voice. Only to see a figure sitting on the floor in front of her. It wore a black cloak with a hood that covered its body, leaving only the face to be exposed. However, the figure had its face covered by something else. A Hiruko mask. “Nice to meet you. I’m Jokai.”
