The 7 humans and 6 ponies made their way to the entrance of the castle of the 2 sisters. For the humans it was... To say the very least, a once in a lifetime experience. They had all heard fantastical stories of things like thing both in their youth, and present day. " So... Element's of Harmony, right?" Brandon Herrera asked Twilight as he stared up at the rotting front gate and ramparts that stood in their path.
"Indeed we are," Twilight responded. Mike glanced back over at her. " What do they look like?" She ignited her horn again, and the shimmering image of 5 golden necklaces and one cheesy tiara appeared in mid air. Each one had a different gemstone at their center. " Huh? Look's like the Infinity stones." Donut joked, he followed it up with a look of, " Don't question it."
"So, shall we?" Matt asked gesturing to the grandiose door in front of them. "Alright, Brandon, Greg, Scott, stack up on the left side of the door We'll go right. Breach the door on the count of 3." Angry, Matt and Donut staked up behind Mike, and the other's followed though on the other side. " Twilight and the other's looked on with their usual confusion.
"Just stay out of our way, and you'll be fine." On the count of three the team beached both door's, sweeping left, right, and center at the same time.
"Alright, rooms clear." Mike shouted. "It's safe, you can come in!" Twilight and the other's nervously entered into the building after them.
"So, were exactly are the, ' Element's of Harmony' Twilight?" She pointed up at the half dozen stone spheres attached to 5 metallic arms which themselves restated atop a mossy stone pedestal which glowed with an eerie blue when the spheres were removed by Rainbow Dash.
"Weren't there supposed to be six?" She asked Twilight. " Is this a geode situation? How do we get them out? And, how in gods name are we supposed to stop that big angry horse with them?" Brandon questioned as he threw his hands up in frustration.
"Uh, what did you just call Nightmare Moon?" Twilight asked him, " Well... It's uh... As Donut said, we'll explain later." Pinkie blinked, did somepony say Donut!?" Cody facepalmed and groaned in frustration. " Yes, that's my nickname-You know what? We don't have time for this shit."
"You know, I kinda find it ironic we've gotten away with as much as we have. The profanity, the boom sticks, ect." He raised his AK74M. A few of the other team members uncomfortably snickered at the though of those snowflakes over YouTube demonetizing, age restricting, and suppressing their content. Sure they were fine with letting some waste of oxygen's video about them putting glue in their own hair make the front page, but when it came to anything gun related... It was the typical, " This content has been flagged as offense." Bullshit, didn't anyone ever teach them the concept of, ' sticks and stone may break my bones but words will never hurt me?"
Uh, just out of curiosity, where's the 6th one? And how do we get them out in the first place?" Angry questioned. Twilight sat down, " The book said that when the 5 are present a spark will cause the sixth element to be revealed. " Mike shook his head, " So let me get this straight, the fulfillment of this whole prophecy thing is dependent on us deciphering whatever the hell that vague riddle was?"
"Well... Yes." Twilight responded. Brandon clapped his hands and pointed down at the unicorn, alright, does anyone have a lighter? Or matches, I'm pretty sure either one will do."
"Plus, there's six of you little ponies here. 13 in total if you count us, but I don't thing we're supposed to be part of this." Hickock added. " How 'bout we just focus on trying to get these sphere's open first? After we've got five we can work on getting the sixth.
Angry flicked open his baton and stomped over to the one closet to him, he gestured for Applejack to back up before he began hacking away. "Damnit!" He yelled as he stopped abruptly. " What is it?" Scott asked him. " Well, I'm pretty sure this thing can only be opened by magic." Brandon scratched his head, " Let me guess, Drill Sargent's intuition?"
"You got it buddy!" Angry turned to Twilight, " Think you can figure this out?" She scrunched up her face for a moment, then nodded. " Sure, I can try." She sat down next to one of the little stone balls and lit her horn.
"Back up everyone, she needs to concentrate." Applejack asked the other's, who all backed away, with the exception of Angry. Who hovered over her while silently watching her every move. " Someone needs to stay here and make sure the blue smoke doesn't come back, besides, in what situation have I not made someone finish their work faster, and better?" But as soon as the other's had broken line of sight, the blue smoke returned and began to levitate the spheres into the air.
"Well shoot me in the foot and call me a 5 star general, back for more Miss Moon?" He asked, putting his hands on his hips and clenching his fist.
"Gah! Leave me be whelp!" Her voice cried out, in an instant it disappeared, taking the Element's, Twilight Sparkle and Angry with it. A menacing scream of primal anger echoed through the halls of the castle a few moments later. The remaining 11 rushed back into the room, " Mike, what now?" Hickock asked, rubbing his temples. Brandon Herrera was the first to raise his hand. " There's no way in hell I'm facing this sober." He proceeded to pull a bottle of vodka from his assault pack and take a sip from it. " So how about this, we break up into team's, and we sweep the castle floor by floor, room by room, until we find them?"
" Mostly solid idea Brandon, except for one thing. I'd rather we all stick together because, you know, we're fighting, well... You know who. And, I don't really thing we're gonna need to look hard because, well... Look over yonder. " Matt pointed out the window, revealing a distant section of the crumbling fortress emitting a bluish glow, and easily discernable grunts of annoyance and frustration from both parties involved.
Just to add to the chaos of the whole situation, Brandon jumped out of a nearby window. No particular reason, he just gave a winded thumbs up, and vaulted through the ancient stained glass window with a cry of, I need to get something!" the humans just stood their and stood there in confusion with their rifles hanging from their slings.
" Wow, uh, ignoring the fact that Brandon just went full Bear Grylls/Superman on us for no apparent reason... Let's go and stop the evil alicorn! Everyone, on me!" Donut waved them onwards, completely oblivious as to where Brandon had run off to.
Meanwhile, half a castle away...
Angry and Twilight appeared side by side, directly in front of them was a fully corporeal Nightmare Moon, with the 5 stone spheres suspended in mid air around her. She slowly cackled as a bolt of lightning flash in front of Angry. But, rather than scaring him, it only served to amuse him.
"What the fuck was that lady? Tell you what, you stay right there, and I come up there and kick your furry ass back to the fucking moon for making me and my cohorts hike that god awful forest!" He unslung his rifle and began stomping his way towards the alicorn.
'Umm... What are you doing?" Twilight asked him, to which he calmly answered, " Teaching dipshit over here a lesson." Nightmare Moon took this as a sign to charge at Angry, something she was about to regret...
