The mare was dressed in what looked to be a red and black samurai outfit with a dog mask as a helmet. She had a strange bone like double blade across her back between her wings and a giant Luna moth clinging to her arm. “Dash Darling, are you questioning Twilight's research into this thing again, because if you are I’m going to leave before she starts another four hour lecture on basic weapon properties and attunement percentages.” Rarity hissed back. Rarity was the fanciest looking of the lot with a large billowy dress made of steel plates pink scales and silk. The Princess like armor even came with a tiara. She carried a pair of short blades that seemed to be made out of blue gems at her hips. “Ya'll just need tah hush until we find out where this thing is.” Applejack grumbled shifting the massive red sword on her back as she moved closer to Twilight, the red scaled armor she wore seemed to have once been part of a dragon as it was covered in black spikes and looked rather menacing on the orange pony. “It's fine Rarity this is a new monster after all, we don't know what it is. But the event is way too similar to one with the Deviljho.” Twilight explained looking through the book she carried. The mare in question was barely visible under the mountain of spikes that covered her armor. A large cannon looking thing rested across her back along with pouches and pouches of various ammo for it. Out of the groups she was the most optimized for anything, obviously. “So we're gonna split up tah try and find this thing Dash you take tha north, Twi head south Rarity you head up inta tha trees over there an I’ll check tha caves.” Applejack explained. “But what about the thing that's right there?” Dash fussed pointing at the massive shadow in the trees before them. “Rainbow, that is a rock.” Rarity sighed pointing out that it was indeed a moss covered rock before heading off to go deeper into the forest. “Don't forget to look for the mushrooms” Twilight called as she wandered off to check her area. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [ Twenty minutes later] “Anything?” Twilight asked with a sigh. “Mushrooms, an tracks, not even a Barroth in this place.” Applejack grumbled. “Rarity?” Twilight asked. “Mushrooms, though I did gather a few other supplies.” Rarity sighed. “BOOOOOOOOREING.” Dash called dropping another pile of mushrooms on the ground. ========================= “I don't get it, this is an event, what kind of event is just a mushroom hunt?” Twilight fussed as the Mission complete came up on her screen. “Well maybe it's a April Foals day joke?” Applejack suggested. “How droll.” Rarity sighed looking up from her own screen. “ Perhaps we could go after the Kirin again.....?” “Hah, you only want to do that cause you're crushing on that stupid thing.” Dash cackled taking a sip of her drink. “I am not..... though I do admit his flank is rather nice, but the outfit one can make is spectacular...” Rarity protested. “What are you four doing in the dark?” a soft voice asked with a bit more hardness to it than any one was comfortable with. “Uh oh...” Dash muttered her ears drooping Fluttershy took a look at the screens the other girls were in front of and frowned. “ Monster hunter? Really? I thought you agreed not to play anything else like that awful pokemon?” “But there's research!?” Twilight fussed. “And adventure.” Applejack added. “And fighting.” Rainbow added. “And the fashion!” Rarity exclaimed. “And you hurt and kill innocent monsters for it” Fluttershy stated in a tone that made the others wince . Twilight smiled suddenly before clicking through a bunch of menus, bringing up what looked like a small cat dressed in a lady bug costume with a paw print pattern on it's belly. Fluttershy's disapproval lasted only a few seconds more in the face of this adorableness before she was entranced by the cute little feline. “Oooh what is that?” Fluttershy cooed.” It's adorable.” “That's a Palico..... it's what the monsters we are hunting eat and knock around because they think it's fun.” Twilight lied. “Seriously?” Fluttershy pouted looking at Applejack. “ That's not nice....” “I guess. Twi's read tha lore, got no idea bout um myself.” Applejack commented with a shrug recognizing Fluttershy was checking on her to see if Twilight was fibbing..”Only started playing in this version of tha game and they run around with yah tah help yah fight monsters.” “And you can dress them up.” Rarity added. “And you should see the chef he's awesome.” Dash laughed. Fluttershy sighed. “ Fine...... I guess. So long as you're saving those cute little kitties.” “Of course.” Twilight smiled. “Oh, before I forget why I came here in the first place.” Fluttershy stated looking away from the ladybug cat on the screen reluctantly. “You might want to go help Spike.” “Why what's wrong?” Twilight blinked. “Well the Cutiemark Crusaders were chasing after him trying to steal his lunch saying they needed another wyvern gem.” Fluttershy offered. “Spike's got a Wyvern gem? I need like three of those!” Dash shouted.
