We finally arrived at the house and the farm were under attack by the remaining Changlings that weren't driven off by the guards so I made another choice. I put Applebloom in the tree (much to her annoyance) and pulled out my gun and attached the silencer while getting closer to the barn. In the barn was three cocoons and one guard for the captives So I decided to play a game with them. They have only one objective: SURVIVE
And man did they suck at the game
I went up to the guard and gave him a poke so he would turn around while sidestepping for part two of my plan. When he turned back around he saw something a bit confusing on the wall- a riddle on a sticky note, it read: "what has four legs and armour and is also distracted? Flip page to find answer" the poor thing did and read: "a very dumb and probably dead changeling he spun around and got quite frendly with S-T-V magnet... Before his head exploded that was, I hid the body in a trash can and drew the attention of another guard... Only for this one to do the exact same thing. Two minutes and seven changelings later, I had single handedly recovered a farm taken by changelings who can't handle logic
One of the changelings actually wandered off pondering the question. So after that I opened the cocoons faster then the bag of shredded cheese I ate yesterday (for reference that means basically insanely fast) and discovered the two I expected: big mac and Granny Smith plus one extra: scootaloo after they got over the shock of me in general the told me how they had taken scootaloo in to hide her from the changelings, they followed the group back to the farm and it was then that the guards stuck them into the bags of shredded cheese cocoons and then I saved them and I asked the really stupid question of what happened to applebloom, I kinda deserved the kick to my head but at the same time I didn't
And so I went to collect Applebloom and the tears man... Shit was real as fuck
And so after a brief introduction I was off to see if the six made it out ok and the only one of the group who chose to stay was Granny Smith and I stopped to tie my shoes as the others trekked off and I am not kiding the sounds coming from the barn sounded... Industrial. I already knew what she was doing and to be honest it kinda scared me a bit.
rule #24 no evidence
We only encountered one other Changling and he got knocked the fuck out by some gold armour guys who then turned their attention back to me. One explanation via Applebloom and Big Mac later and we found ourselves escorted to the hospital. I didn't get the name of it as I was tired and I ran out of fucks to give and just guess who was there waiting for me.
I had shaken her world to its very core and I just casually led the family down the hall to the room that was guarded ad she was still there frozen I let the two into the room and went back to the princess and since this was the biggest high I've hit in my life I decided to address my situation with another riddle
"What has two legs, took down an evil king, reunited a family and is the master of mind games?"
I hit my chest and said "this guy. Names Noah, And don't you forget that like you did me at the castle "
I said it jokingly. And then I left the hospital only to comeback with a one liner
"Oh, and happy family reunion"
I left again and when I was halfway gone I realized that I would half to ruin the one liner by coming back to the hospital
I came back and it's safe to say that I'm fine, it's ok-I-I don't even care i care immensely so anyway I came back and stuff happened and then I was finally meeting the mane six and thanks to this I was only partly dead inside
And on the bright side Applebloom and Big Mac were waiting for me so that's nice and then as if on cue a nurse came to collect us since I had mistakenly led the siblings into the wrong room the first time (bamboozled again I see ;)) and this time we were led into a big room full of ponys and in a little corner sat three princess and six elements (of which one was also a princess) and celestia was introducing us but I came in early on purpose to ask her to cut the introductions so I can finally reunite the entire family. She nodded and they were in the middle of asking what I was (nice) when I got Applebloom put her on apple jacks bed and said "ima just leave this here" more tears and a heartfelt speech later they wanted to know just how I did it. How I saved them. Everything. I smiled and said "its a long story... And since all of you are stuck in those beds I'm going to tell you."
And now that we are back in the present I can finally stop talking in past tense. Yay me
