//------------------------------// // Chapter 08 - Yeaaah, It Didn't Work Out On Earth // Story: Mystery Scootaloo // by thedarktome //------------------------------// Scootaloo and Twilight were flown back out of the portal into the library of the Friendship Castle, and slid across the floor, eventually hitting the first seats in front of them. All was silent until Twilight groaned and sat up, fixing her mane. "We really should think about our plans if you're going to be around, Princess," she groaned before standing up and shaking. "That's right! You should get to learn about places first before you start visiting it," Scootaloo said in mock agreement. She sat up and looked at herself. She was still a filly, that much was obvious. As well as an Alicorn. "What happens if they go through that portal?" Twilight looked at her, then to the portal. "Well...since they are in our jurisdiction and attempting to arrest a princess of Equestria for Parricide, on the grounds of no evidence, they will be arrested and sent right back out. And if they try to bring in more security, we will do the same thing." "Oh...okay." "Why?" "Because humans are nosy. They'll stick their nose where it doesn't belong and end up bringing trouble with them. A perfect example will be what just happened a second ago. A police stuck their nose into where it doesn't belong, and now we are on the lamb." "YOU are on the lamb, i was just an investigator." The two began to walk out of the room while continuing their conversation. "But you decided to show around your magic and run with me. You are now an 'accomplice' to a 'Parricidal Maniac.'" "Is that what they call it?" "That's what I'm calling it. Got any food in this joint and some runnin' juice, Princess? I'm starved after all that running and making the police look stupid." Twilight nodded and showed her towards the kitchen to get some "Runnin' juice." "Is that what humans call water?" Twilight chuckled, opening up the fridge. She pulled out some premade food and set it on the table, warming it up with her magic. "That's what I call water. Thanks." She grabbed the hot plate of hay fries and started eating. Twilight sat down across from her and started on her own food while continuing the conversation. "You sure have your own way of words." Scootaloo nodded in agreement without looking up from her warmed up food. "Well, when I first arrived here, I was making things more fun and enjoyable by doing hobbies. Scooting I always did on Earth, I just happened to find one here too. One of those hobbies was creating my own slang. I used the words I created a lot here." "So what are some of them?" Twilight asked in interest. Scootaloo cleared her throat before she started."Running Juice is obviously water, Mini Board is Scooter, Boosters are my wings, Air Horn is my mouth, Satellite are my ears, and Cameras are my eyes. There's more and I'm making even more for my Alicorn status." Twilight was just staring at her stoically before responding. "Oh. Well don't tell them to me because I'm gonna be confused in the future like I am now, I can see it already." Scootaloo chuckled before a new voice made itself known from the doorway. "You're back?" Starlight asked in surprise while walking inside the room. "That was less than three hours." "Yeah," Twilight responded with a chuckle. "Turns out Scootaloo here is one the Wanted list for a framed Parricide." "Oh okay." Starlight grabbed an apple from the fridge and took a bite. "The others are looking for you upstairs." "Why, the portal's down here." Starlight just shrugged in response before turning to Scootaloo. "So...killed your parents huh?" She asked. "No. The Police THINK I did," Scootaloo responded before turning to Twilight in worry. "And Twilight, we have to do something about that portal. If I know anything about humans, they'll poke around at anything and have backup with them. And if somepony comes through, they'll bring twenty more, look around for a moment, go back, and then bring everyone." "Scootaloo, I really doubt anypony's going to start investigating the statue," Twilight stated matter-of-factly. "No offense, Princess. But you obviously don't know human standards. If there is something weird going on, like say two girls who go missing three seconds after a puff of smoke is created when there are no doors around, they start poking around. And considering that one of those girls is pretty much a convicted felon, they won't stop poking around until they find something. ANYTHING. And eventually, between maybe an hour from now or a day from now, somepony's gonna touch that statue, fall straight inside, and see......everything." "Then the sword's in our hooves!" Starlight announced happily. "If they come here, we can have your name cleared, since you are legally a citizen of Equestria. If you've committed a crime it'd have to go through Equestrian court." "That's not how humans think. If you've committed an act on Earth, they'll want to try you on Earth." Twilight rolled her eyes. "Well unfortunately that's not how it works here," Twilight responded before taking a sip of her drink. A canter of footsteps sounded by the doorway, catching the three's attention. "There you are!" Princess Cadance announced as she walked in, heading for Twilight. "What happened?" "Well. Scootaloo's being charged for Parricide-" "Which I did not do, let me make that clear right now," Scootaloo interrupted. "And they may soon find out about that portal. Please convince Twilight to unplug it." Cadance looked at her confused. "Why?" "Because those haystacks will come right through. Either fall in or walk in. We disappeared behind a smoke spell right in front of that statue. Humans don't give up so easily after somepony disappears, let alone a wanted criminal of the United States in one of the most craziest cases on Earth. They'll investigate. Start pokin' around and such. If somepony pokes that statue, they'll fall in, go back out, yell out, 'I think I found something', somepony else comes in and says, 'buck yeah, you did. They came right through here.' Then they both leave. And within two days, you have forty police officers, or in the worst case, sixty Marines walking right through with guns. And possibly some eggheads. They're scared, and they have guns. If a pony just walks up and says 'Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie', they'll fiddle with their guns after finding out their hands changed to hooves and pop her right in the head. And she WILL be gone. And that's the calm case scenario. If things get worse, like a fight, the ponies who don't know about humans drop like flies." They were just staring at her with a frozen look of skepticism. "Scootaloo, that Portal is our only clue as to what has happened to Frozen Fire and Bright Magnus," Twilight responded. "Well that project has to be paused! It wouldn't even matter if they're dead, we'll be next up! We have to shut off that portal, no ifs, ands, or buts. Shut it. Off." Back on Earth, in front of Canterlot High School, there were a group of sixty Canterlot stationed USMC soldiers ready to storm into the statue after one of the investigators fell inside and reported of a weird room made out of crystal and stored with books. As well as a body change. After calling it in, the Marines were tasked by the FBI and CIA to march inside and investigate since that is more than likely where they went. The man leading the charge was Sergeant Looper, found to be very intimidating. And his second in command, Lieutenant Mayweather. She's just as tough. Sergeant Looper sighed and spit a toothpick out of his mouth while poking his hand through the statue. There was definitely something there. "That guy must've been traumatized when he fell through," he commented quietly before turning around to face everyone else. There was a group of scientists and more standing to the side, observing everything and taking notes. "Alright wannabes!" He shouted, catching their attention. "We're going on a little field trip today! There is a girl who has committed Parricide behind this portal, and we need to bring her here. I was told that there will be a slight body change. So adapt and adapt quickly. We don't know what else is behind this thing. If there is something, keep your weapon on hand and finger on the trigger. They may or may not be hostile. Just stay on your toes. Let's go!" The Sergeant turned around, took a deep breath, and marched through with the sixty right behind him. "So there could be ponies coming here," Celestia concluded after Scootaloo told them about what happened on Earth. And the possibility of a forced entry into Equestria. "Yes," Scootaloo said worriedly. "If those puke cans come walking through that thing, it will turn violent, I'm telling you we have to unplug that thing." She pointed to the portal across from them. "Scootaloo even if we did unplug it we'd still have a problem," Cadance responded from her left. "There's another entryway in the Crystal Empire." "Why do you have so many?!" "We only have two." "That's one too many! Unplug it before-" Something suddenly flew out of the portal and skidded across the floor, stopping right in front of Scootaloo. They all looked down at the pony dressed in camouflage. With a gun on his back. Scootaloo groaned and quickly teleported all of his weapons off of him, tossing them out into the hall before he could wake up. The others gasped when four more flew out. Then five. Eight. Seven more! "This is what the buck I was talking about! We have to evacuate Ponyville, there's a lot more than that!" Scootaloo turned around and ran out the door quickly with the other four princesses right behind her, leaving those shooting out alone. Meanwhile, the Marines were quickly filling the room and recognizing their situation. "Spike!" Twilight yelled down the hall as she ran. "SPIIIIIKE!" "Hey, Twilight!" The Baby dragon said as he walked into the foyer. "What do-" "Get everypony that is IN the castle...OUT of the castle! And out of the town! Right now! Go go go go go!" "Okay, okay!" He replied back before running as fast as his little legs can carry him. While they were doing that, Celestia and Luna were busy evacuating Ponyville. "Everypony!" Celestia yelled from above. The citizens all stopped their movement and looked up at her. "I need you all to calmly grab your children and evacuate the town immediately!" They stared in confusion before shrugging and reluctantly grabbing their foals to leave town. Luna was looking at them from the top of building while also glancing towards the Castle of Friendship in the distance, where Scootaloo and Cadance were standing in front waiting for everyone to come out. Pinkie came bouncing out first, annoying Scootaloo with her giddiness. She bounced right up to the young Princess and ruffled her mane before bouncing towards Ponyville. Scootaloo groaned and fixed her hair before the others came rushing out, a little worried. Including her family members. "What's going on?" Golden Flutter and Blue Wave asked at the same time. "Just follow everypony else, girls," Cadance ordered gently, pointing towards Ponyville. "Go on. Go." They and everyone else, including Spike quickly ran out before Twilight took her place on the other side of Scootaloo. "Can you speak with them?" She whispered to Scootaloo hopefully. "I can try. But those were a lot of ponies. And they were growing. Worse case scenario? They start breaking things and demanding to 'Speak to our leader.'" Celestia trotted up in the middle of the group and sat down facing the Castle with the other Princesses. "And all five of us are the leaders," she said. "Even if Scootaloo doesn't want to be." "You pushed me into this Twilight," Scootaloo accused. "With your reluctance to close that portal." Twilight sighed and focused on the castle once more. The Sergeant tried to pick up his weapon in the large hallway filled with ponified soldiers looking around in wonder, muttering about the crystal walls. Some were more entranced at themselves, who were looking at their ponified bodies. "Sir? I have concluded that we are horses," Lieutenant Mayweather stated, slowly trotting up to her superior who was still struggling to pick up his weapon. "I know we are horses," he groaned in frustration. Mayweather sighed and rolled her eyes before picking up the weapon with one hoof and holding it out to him. He shyly took it and strapped it on before grabbing his radio on the floor and placing it on his vest. As well as his helmet on his head, which fit perfectly. "Thank you. Okay, wannabes!" They all stopped talking and grabbed hold of their weapons with one hoof. "I have no idea where we are. But there could be others. So check everywhere and bring anymore to me so we can ask some questions and find out where we are. Let's move! Commanding Officers, grab your group and split off." Around thirty minutes later of just silence, and the ever so random bird landing on their horns, Scootaloo clicked her tongue impatiently. "Maybe they went back," Luna guessed. "No they didn't," Scootaloo guaranteed. "If I know anything about them, they just don't leave empty hoofed." Five of the ponified soldiers peeked around the corner that led to the library before rushing out and looking around. "It looks clear," one of them said while peeking into another room. "I doubt a place this big is empty," another responded while looking down another hall. "There's absolutely no way." "Wait...there's something in here." They all looked towards one soldier walking into a very large room that had a table sitting in the middle with 3D buildings on it. The soldiers looked at each other before walking inside, interested. One picked up his radio and quickly relayed their find and location before looking around the room. "What is this thing?" One pony whispered, looking at the table. One guy was busy looking at the chairs while the others were looking at the Cutie Map. "Think these chairs mean something?" They looked over at the chairs all around the table, having symbols on the tops of them. There was one in the very middle that had a purple star with a much smaller seat beside it. "I think this could be the leader," a zoldier said while motioning towards the middle chair. "The ruler." "Maybe." "Okay, whatchu got?" They looked behind them and saluted to the Sergeant walking inside with ten more soldiers. "A table, sir. With futuristic 3D imaging that actually stick out." Sergeant Looper walked towards the table and looked over it. "It looks like a map," he concluded. "Could be a war room?" "We never thought of it that way, sir." The sergeant hummed before reaching out and touching it. The second he did, the images turned red and the table turned off, displaying technically a crystal table. "What happened?" he asked. Twilight's cutie mark began to pulse, gaining attention. They looked at it before turning back to the castle in worry. Scootaloo groaned and just walked towards the door. "I can't wait any longer!" She yelled in frustration. "They're just looking around and interrupting everypony's day! Come on, we're going in and talking. Probably have some tea too." The others followed in briskly after her before Twilight closed the door behind her. "Okay. They're probably at the Map Room," she suggested. "We teleport?" Scootaloo rolled her eyes and turned into her clouds, flying down the hallway, making the Princesses sigh. "She is so IMPATIENT!" Luna yelled. "Impatient!" The soldiers stopped and looked around at the insanely loud voice reverberating and echoing around the building. Sergeant Looper picked up his radio while keeping his eyes on the door. "Keep your hands...er...hooves on your weapons! Line the halls!" The soldiers took up their positions and stayed silent, albeit a little paranoid as well. Lieutenant Mayweather was breathing hard while looking around at the same time. "She is going to get us all hurt, Celestia!" Someone yelled down the hallway. Lieutenant Mayweather waved a hoof above her head while all the soldiers on that hall hid behind something. "Mayweather to Looper. We got voices coming this way." Sergeant Looper made gestures with his hooves, pointing towards different areas of the room for the soldiers to take positions. Once they were all set, they pointed towards the entry. Scootaloo's spell stopped behind the corner of the hallway that led up to the map room and stayed still, listening in. There was some very fast breathing going on down there. A lot of them. This castle was big enough for that. Twilight trotted up to her and listened as well. "Sounds full," she whispered. "Now what?" "Well we can't send in Celestia or Luna," she whispered back. "They're REALLY intimidating. Cadance is....eh. While you? Your title they will not take seriously. I dunno. But me? I'm a sweet little filly walking around trying to figure out why they touched the table. So I'm going in first. I'll call if I need any of you. Remember. These are MY people." Scootaloo shadow teleported to a higher up hallway while the princesses were sharing looks of confusion. "I'm intimidating?" Celestia whispered. The soldiers had their guns trained on the web of hallways. Waiting and watching for movement. "This is taking too long," one whispered to Mayweather. She looked over at him before going back to the hallway. "We really need to-" "Wait," she whispered. She squinted her eyes and listened. "Something's coming." They all listened to the clopping sounds echoing around the halls, as well as the ruffling of feathers. "Could it be a-" Something orange flew quickly across the halls from a few ways up. "I saw something! Come out now, don't make any sudden movements!" Scootaloo groaned and rolled her eyes. She was going to come out. But not on this hall. She only darted across to get a quick see through of everything so she knew where to go. Now she knew her plan. She put up her shield, took a deep breath, and spoke. Sweat was pouring off of the soldiers' muzzles as they listened to the small clopping of something up the halls, making their way to them. Especially Mayweather. She was shaking lightly and trying not to make a lot of noise at the same time. "Drop your weapons," a small voice reverberated around the halls, making them all jump a little. "Drop all of your weapons immediately. This is a peaceful land and you will not be bringing them here." Mayweather picked up her radio and spoke to her superior. "Sir, did you hear that?" She asked. The Sergeant walked out of the Map Room and listened to the voice again. "Drop your weapons, no harm will come to you if no harm will come to us. And I will harm you if you do not drop them." The Sergeant picked up his radio, continuing to look around, clearly uneasy. "Everyone drop your rifles, keep the pistols," he said. The soldiers did as asked while keeping their pistols out of sight. Once the last one was dropped the Sergeant listened some more, waiting. "Thank you for participating," a little voice said inside the room right behind him. The group turned around to see an orange filly in Twilight's seat. But she looked a lot different than them. She had a horn on her forehead. She offered them a smile and dumped some sand on the table that she gathered from the floor, forming it into a pile before lighting her horn and turning it into a six cups of tea that she put around the table. "Have a seat, leader guy. We have a lot to talk about." The sergeant picked up his radio and relayed his men to come to the room immediately before he slowly trotted in. "Stop walking so slow, I'm not going to bite you," Scootaloo chuckled. "The worst I could do is throw scalding hot tea at your mouth." The sergeant cleared his throat before taking a seat next to her, observing her. She was just like them, but had wings and a horn. They only had hooves. "You are wondering who I am," she said, taking a sip of her tea. "My name is Princess Scootaloo of Equestria." She tapped the table turning the Cutie Map back on. "I actually just rose to the throne maybe...tuesday? I dunno. Anyway, you have crossed into a portal of our world and must go back immediately. Unless you have a reason for being here that well justifies your current presence." He, as well as a few more soldiers in the room were looking at the filly in shock. "H-How old are you?" Sergeant Looper asked. "Eight," she lied. "Now tell me why you're here." "We're looking for a girl we believe may have jumped in through your portal," he said before reaching into his vest and pulling out a photo. "She has been charged with Parricide in Canterlot of...Earth. Are we still on Earth?" "No. Now this girl you are looking for did not commit Parricide." Scootaloo sighed in mock relief at the taste of tea dancing over her taste buds while he just stared at her. "I believe the law of Earth will be the judge of that," he replied. "I am afraid that is not an option, Sergeant." He looked at her confused before she pointed to the ranking on his vest. "I know those signs and symbols very well." "You have those here?" "No, but Twilight likes to share things with someponies I know, and I think of how awesome it is that they're shaped like that," she lied. "Now. About the girl. She did not commit Parricide on Earth because her parents put her through that portal to save her life. And they gave their lives up to save hers." "What?" "Yep. Your whole case is wrong. Ms. Carson was sent back here to save her life, not to run. Yes, I know her name. She recently went back there to try and find out who exactly did it when she had the chance, and discovered that the law there was going to try her for Parricide. So she came back. I'm sure if she did stay, she was not going to be coming back at all. And you would have a big problem on your hands with the Equestrians." "Let me get this straight-" "WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG?!!" The two jumped when Luna walked out of the dark corner of the room and sat in the seat beside Scootaloo. "Celestia and I are becoming impatient while Cadance and Twilight are playing a game of hoofsies! What is happening?!" "Oh, hey Luna. We were having tea." The Princess looked at her in a frozen state of anger. "I was actually waiting for you guys to show up when I gave the command for them to lower their weapons." "You could have sent a sign of some sort," Luna replied before disappearing in a flash to grab the others, shocking the others. Scootaloo sighed and continued. "What were you asking?" "S-s-so...so the girl we are chasing on Earth is here," the sergeant started slowly. Scootaloo nodded, giving him the sign to continue. "And you won't tell us where she is?" "That's not up to me to tell you." "Then who do we speak to about it?" "You'll see her in a moment." A second later it got a little hotter in the room. Noticeably. Scootaloo sighed and rolled her eyes before the other Princesses arrived in a flash by Celestia, all staring daggers at the filly drinking her tea. She set down the saucer and looked at them with a smirk. "What?" Celestia sighed and shook her head before turning to the pony next to her. "Is this the commander?" She asked. "Yep," Scootaloo responded before pointing at the other seats. "Sit down and let's have this meeting, I made some tea through Matter Conversion. Just to irk Twilight because she can't do it." The alicorn in question hummed loudly in annoyance while Scootaloo just laughed. "I need that spell!" Twilight said as she picked up Scootaloo out of her throne and set her in another one. Sighing she took a seat beside the captain and gave him a smile. "Nice to meet you! My name is Princess Twilight Sparkle! I am the Princess of friendship!" She held a hoof out to his, which he shook tentatively. Across the table, there was a pink one looking at him too with a smile. "I am Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, the Princess of Love." He nodded to her before he turned to the dark blue one. "I am Princess Luna of Equestria, Princess of the Moon." He nodded to her before he turned to the much taller pony in the room with an alabaster white coat and a sun on her flank. "And I am Princess Celestia. Primary ruler of the Land of Equestria and Princess of the Sun. Princess Luna is my sister, Cadance is my niece, and Twilight is my student. I understand that you are looking for a girl that you believe has slipped through here. What is YOUR name?" "I'm Sergeant Looper," he answered quietly. Celestia nodded and drank her tea before moving on. "Sergeant Looper. We know of this girl you speak of. We all do." The Princesses nodded their heads in agreement. Especially Scootaloo who was pouting her bottom lip with her eyes closed while doing it. "Okay," Looper said, getting a little comfortable. "Well I was told that we were not able to bring her." "That is correct." "May I ask why?" Celestia sighed and put her tea on the table before turning to the Sergeant with her hoof stretched out over the table, gesturing to the map. "Let me explain. All of this is Equestria. We use this map whenever we have to complete missions." Looper looked at it for a moment before turning back to Celestia. "Military?" "Not even close. We use it to establish relationships between two ponies or even countries, cities, and homes, helping them to create a small but permanent non-intimate bond with each other." "Friendship," one of the soldiers guessed. Celestia nodded. "Yes. Friendship. Princess Twilight here-" she motioned towards he alicorn sitting in the seat in the middle. "-oversees all of the operations happening here with five others. Sometimes, the map may call on other ponies all over Equestria to come here, get their mission, and are sent on their way to forge the bond. Once complete, we will know. Come with me, please." She stood up from her seat and walked towards the door. The others walked with her, leaving the sergeant sitting there for a moment. He looked towards his men before he got up and carefully followed behind them. They walked out of the room and past the other soldiers, who were looking up, and down, at them in awe and wonder. Especially Celestia who was the tallest one there. "Equestria runs on Magic and Friendship," she continued as they walked. "The sixty men you have brought here have disrupted the daily exercise and harmony of my ponies, and has put them behind their daily schedule." They walked towards the front of the castle in earnest while one of the ponies sighed. "So this was where the front was," he whispered. Celestia lit her horn and pulled the doors open, letting in the nice summer air and the views of the outside world. One of the soldiers had an action camera on him, getting everything on the feed as they all poured out of the building, looking at everything in wonder. One of them spotted cloudsdale and poked the guy next to him, motioning towards the cloud city. The soldier looked over and his mouth dropped. "This is Equestria," Celestia announced before turning around to face them all. "We have laws, we have customs, and we have traditions. As well as consequences. The girl you are looking for will soon be helping out in the creation of this world. If she accepts the role." The Princesses, looked towards Scootaloo who was waving at Rainbow Dash in the distance. "Yo' Rainbow!" "Yo, Scoots!" She yelled back, before Scootaloo turned back around and looked at them. "What?" Scootaloo asked. "Are you accepting the position as Princess of Equestria, Scootaloo?" Twilight asked her. Scootaloo looked up to the sky in thought for a moment. "But you guys pretty much have everything handled," she replied in confusion. "I doubt I could help out with anything else." "Princess of Magic, Scootaloo." She looked up to the sky again before shrugging. "Give me a few more days to figure it out. Now where were we again?" Celestia looked back up to the soldiers before continuing. "The girl you are looking for, Lareen Carson, is actually an inhabitant, and an actual direct descendant and firstborn of Equestrian legend. She, as well as her parents, are all natives to Equestria. We have heard about what happened on Earth surrounding the mystery of the Carson family. And the Royalty of Equestria is looking into the case personally. Frozen Fire and Bright Magnus were very close friends of mine, as well as my teachers, and Lareen Carson, as well as Princess Twilight, were on Earth to look for clues as to her family's death." "Wait, are you saying the girl we're looking for is right there?" Mayweather asked, pointing a hoof dangerously close to Scootaloo's forehead. Scootaloo backed up a little before moving the hoof to the side and away from her face. "Yes," Luna answered, seeing where her sister was going with this. "Scootaloo is Lareen Carson. Her parents were killed by a group of humans we have yet to learn more about it. We are hoping we discover that really soon. Now you are not allowed to take Scootaloo back to Earth. For one? Her safety. Those who killed her parents were after Scootaloo, and Scootaloo alone. If they learn that she has been spotted, they will go after her." "We'll just keep her in containment," Sergeant Looper stated matter-of-factly. "I SAID NO!" Celestia yelled in her Royal Canterlot Voice. The soldiers yelped before the sun got a little hotter, burning their coats a little. "Scootaloo is not going back to Earth. And those who try to take her will be held on Equestrian soil until your leaders come and get them personally. If you wish to continue the investigation as well as get in contact with us, get in touch with Sunset Shimmer on Earth and she will help you. Twilight?" Twilight nodded happily. "I'll let her know tonight." Celestia sighed and turned her focus back to the soldiers. "Like I said, Scootaloo, also known amongst your people as Lareen Carson, will not be going back to Earth. Nor will she be imprisoned. If you attempt, I will personally blow you all away. You are messing with forces you cannot control here. There are no buttons, no knobs you can push. And none of you can use magic." "Is that a rule?" Mayweather asked in suspicion. "Nope," Twilight answered before pointing to her horn. "You can't use magic. Literally and factly." "Now, I am afraid it is time for you to go," Celestia told them as she flapped her wings at them, motioning for them to go back into the castle. "And the next time you decide to visit, please announce yourself through Sunset Shimmer and wait for a scheduled appointment. And leave all items at home or at the gate. We do not bring weapons past the portal." "We will have to tell our superiors about this," Sergeant Looper stated before they could leave. "They aren't going to like it." Celestia frowned and narrowed her eyes before she bent down and got close to his face. "Then they will have to come here and tell me. And I will tell them the same thing I told you. Should they try to start hostilities, they will have to go against all of Equestria. The legends...as well as our enemies. Reformed and current. I understand Queen Chrysallis is hungry. And her drones are as well. Shall you encounter them, you will literally never see them coming until it's too late. And Discord has been looking to cause a little chaos. Good day, gentlecolts."
