//------------------------------// // SPT Chapter 6 // Story: Super Pony Taisen // by Valsion //------------------------------// Super Pony Taisen Chapter 6 The knight and the stag beetle It was around afternoon as Twilight woke up, her sleep was uneasy since she never slept through the day before. After taking a quick shower she made her way downstairs where Granny Smith was taking a nap in her rocking chair. Deciding against waking the elderly mare up she made her way outside where she saw Big Macintosh who just finished his workload for the day. He pulled a cart with four barrels behind him and greeted her in his usual calm and polite manner. “Good afternoon, Ms. Twilight.” “Good afternoon Big Macintosh. How long was I asleep?” Twilight noticed that the sun was almost starting to set already. Her nightly flight must have been more tiring than she thought; the purple mare hoped that she would be able to reach the desert by evening. “About eight hours or so. Also these are for you.” With that he pointed a hoof towards the barrels on his cart. Upon closer inspection Twilight could see that the barrels were filled with the most delicious looking apples she had ever seen. She almost started to drool a little. “Those apples look fantastic.” “Ah collected only the best apples from the orchard. Ah don't know what kind of food they send with you but just in case ah want to know that mah sis' and her friends are well fed.” Twilight was moved by the support Big Macintosh showed for his sister. “Thank you, I'm sure Applejack will love having something from home.” That sentence sparked something in Twilight’s mind. “Wait a minute, that gives me an idea.” Twilight galloped back into the house and into Applejack’s room where she grabbed the lasso hanging on the wall. It would greatly boost everyponies spirit if they had something from home so she was going to bring a little souvenir for everypony. Outside Big Macintosh was still waiting for Twilight to come back. Just a minute later the purple unicorn emerged from the house again and galloped over to him. “Could you do me a favor? Could you bring the apples to the Wildraubtier, my Personal Trooper, I just want to get a few things really quick.” “Eeyup.” Again not a single word more than necessary. After thanking Big Macintosh Twilight made her way towards Fluttershy's cottage. At the cottage she saw an old, brown earth pony tending to the animals. Twilight recognized him as one of the gardeners in the royal garden. The princess must have sent him to take care of Fluttershy's animals during her absence. Twilight quickly explained her intentions and the old gardener just smiled and remarked how sweet it was of her. Twilight looked around for something she could get for Fluttershy and then she spotted the perfect souvenir. There was a photo above the chimney of Fluttershy and a small white bunny. During one of her visits Fluttershy explained to her that she found Angel, her pet bunny, almost frozen to death one winter and nursed him back to health. The photo resting on the chimney was taken when Angel decided to stay with her, and while the shy pegasus took care of a lot of animals, Angel was her only real pet. Twilight couldn't bring Angel with her but at least she could bring her the picture. As she put the photo into her saddlebag she noticed something tapping against her hoof. Angel was kicking against her hoof and gave her a dirty look. “Don’t worry Angel I’m not stealing anything, I just wanted to give Fluttershy something from home to make her feel better.” The small, white bunny seemed to understand and ceased his assault his look changed from angry to worried. “Fluttershy is going to be okay, I think we both know that she’s tougher than most ponies think.” That answer seemed to satisfy the bunny. Twilight wasted no time and left the cottage, making her way to Ponyville and to her next stop, Carousel Boutique. Inside the boutique she was greeted by a guard Celestia set up to watch the store for Rarity. After a quick explanation the purple mare went into Rarity's room to check for something she could take with her. Rarity’s room looked really expensive, with a bed fit for the princess and a finely crafted drawer chest. After a few moments she spotted Rarity's jewelry box. Twilight figured that Rarity would love to have at least some of her accessories, so Twilight put the box and a small mirror that was lying next to it into the saddlebag. Twilight hoped that her fashionista friend will be happy. With these gifts Twilight made her way to Sugarcube corner trying to think of something to bring Pinkie Pie. At the front door Twilight was still at a loss. What Pinkie Pie loved most were parties but she could hardly fit enough supplies for a party into her saddlebags and Gummy was also out of question. Maybe the Cakes have an idea what she could get for her hyperactive pink friend. Inside the shop the two owners, Mr. Cake, a yellow earth pony with three slices of cake as a cutie mark and his wife Mrs. Cake, a plump, light blue earth pony with a pink mane and three cupcakes for a cutie mark, greeted her enthusiastically. From what Pinkie told her the Cakes were friends with her father, and when Pinkie was old enough, her parents told her that she could move in with the Cakes and learn to become a baker. After all, rock farming was definitely not the ideal profession for Pinkie. “Hello Twilight, it's so good to see you again. Would you like something to eat?” Mrs. Cake already held a tray with cupcake ready, but Twilight declined. “No thank you, I just wanted to see if I can get Pinkie Pie something from home, a little memento or a souvenir.” At this the Cakes looked at each other and then began to smile. Mrs. Cake went to the stairs leading to Pinkie Pie's room. “Just wait a moment dearie, I know what you can get for her.” As she went upstairs Mr. Cake explained to Twilight what his wife wanted to get. “You see Twilight, we were actually the ones that started the tradition of every new pony getting a welcome party.” His eyes became a little distant as he remembered the day Pinkie Pie arrived in Ponyville. “We knew she would be a little homesick after leaving the rock farm and her family, so we got all our friends here to throw her a little welcoming party. She still keeps the party hat from back then. I'm sure it can cure her of her homesickness again.” As Mr. Cake finished the story his wife came back, carefully holding a yellow and blue party hat in her mouth. “Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cake. I'm sure Pinkie Pie will love it.” Mrs. Cake carefully put the party hat into Twilight’s saddlebags. “No problem dearie.” Then her expression grew more serious. “But please promise us to keep Pinkie Pie safe.” Twilight could see the worry in the eyes of Mrs. Cake and her husband, after all Pinkie was the daughter of one of their friends and almost like their own daughter. “Don't worry, I promise to return Pinkie Pie as healthy and happy as she was the day she left.” With the gift for her hyperactive friend put into the saddlebags Twilight said her goodbyes to the Cakes and made her way to Rainbow Dash’s house. This time she had a more serious problem than deciding what to take with her. The problem was that her speed addicted friend lived high above the ground in a cloud house. Twilight considered for a second to fly up with the Wildraubtier but quickly dismissed that thought. “What am I thinking? I can't fly the PT into Rainbow Dash’s home and I sure as hay can't park it on top of the clouds.” Twilight tried to come up with other ideas how to get up but none of them would actually work. Even Pinkie Pie's flying machine was out of question; Gilda broke it in her possessive fit, and Pinkie hasn't repaired it since. Pinkie was the only pony in Equestria that could actually get so high with trampolines and balloons, and it would take too long to get her own hot air balloon ready. For one moment she even considered asking another pegasus pony to fly up for her but that idea was even worse. “I got something for you Rainbow Dash, I had a stranger rummage through your personal belongings for this.” The purple unicorn could only imagine her rainbow maned friend’s reaction. It was no use, Twilight had to give up and return to the Kurogane soon, the others were counting on her and she couldn't make them wait just for a little gift. Feeling guilty about having to leave one of her friends out she made her way back to the Wildraubtier. Briefly wondering if she should just buy a gift for Rainbow Dash, Twilight was too deep in thought to notice a pony walking right into her. The impact threw both of the mares to the ground, rubbing her head Twilight opened her eyes again. “I'm sorry I wasn't paying... oh hello Derpy, nice to see you.” Twilight smiled as she saw the mailmare she befriended some time before the expedition. Derpy Hooves was a grey pegasus with a blond mane and some bubbles for a cutie mark. The most striking thing about the gray mare however were her eyes. Derpy Hooves had strabismus ever since she was a foal, causing her eyes to point in different directions most of the time. Derpy smiled as she saw her latest friend and gave Twilight a big hug. “Hi Twilight, I was so glad to hear you were safe. I got worried when I heard that the dig site has been attacked by giant golems.” Twilight returned the hug. “Yes, it was scary. Luckily we managed to get those Personal Troopers to work. With them we managed to defend ourselves. Say, how is Dinky and why weren't you there when I arrived?” Twilight was curious why both Derpy and her daughter Dinky, a blond unicorn filly with a light purple coat, weren't there to greet her. Dinky also joined the Cutie Mark Crusaders recently since she also got a little impatient waiting for her Cutie Mark to appear on its own. Derpy however lost some of her cheer at Twilight’s question. “Oh, it's nothing I just wasn't sure if it would be safe for Dinky.” This statement confused Twilight; why wouldn't it be safe? Everypony in Ponyville knew that Twilight was competent, mostly, so there was no need to worry unless... Suddenly anger rushed through Twilight. “Derpy, don't tell me SHE is still at it.” The nervous look on her friends face was answer enough. Hawkeye was the name of a mare that some time before Twilight’s departure called the foal protection agency on Derpy. The grey mailmare was always a little clumsy because of her horrible depth perception so it happened sometimes that somepony would think that she had some other mental issues. Normally it didn't take Derpy long to change their minds, but Hawkeye was both stubborn and persistent, and most likely completely obsessed. Their first meeting went as bad as their acquaintanceship continued. Twilight remembered that day very well. The three of them were shopping for groceries as Derpy missed her grocery bag and accidentally hung a bag of tomatoes on Dinky's horn. Mother and daughter laughed about the mistake and even Twilight chuckled a little but then SHE came along. A middle aged unicorn mare with a brown coat and red hair with a pair of binoculars for a cutie mark practically stormed over until she was directly face to face with Derpy. She ranted on about how irresponsible Derpy was with her daughter and what would have happened if she had something heavy in her hooves but the most hurtful comment was that mentally retarded ponies shouldn't raise children. The wall-eyed pegasus told Hawkeye, holding back tears and anger, that she was not retarded and told her not to be so judgemental when she insults other ponies in front of a little filly. This infuriated Hawkeye even more and so she started stalking Derpy and her daughter to write down every single even so insignificant mistake she made. Finally Twilight went past the mailmares house when she heard sobbing from inside. Of course Twilight asked her what was wrong and the upset mother just showed her the letter from the Foal Protection Agency. Angry at the obvious culprit Twilight rallied up every pony that knew Derpy and they told the stallion from the FPA what a good mother Derpy was, how she worked hard for Dinky, made sure she stayed in school and always made sure that Dinky was healthy. The FPA stallion was saw how the local teacher Ms. Cheerilee, Nurse Redheart, Derpy’s boss from the post office and Carrot Top, who often babysat Dinky, vouched for her and decided that Mother and daughter could stay together. Both were overjoyed but Hawkeye was furious and promised that Dinky would be taken to 'more fitting parents'. Twilight was pulled out of her reminiscing as Derpy asked if she was alright. “Thanks Derpy I'm fine. Anyway don't let her get to you, remember that your friends defended you once, and after the first call, the FPA might not even take her that serious anymore.” This only reassured the gray pegasus a little. “Thank you but anyway, Dinky is playing with her friends but I probably shouldn't hold you up any longer, or else your friends may be nothing more than skin and bones by the time we're done talking.” Derpy was right, with Twilight chatting and collecting gifts for her friends, it was getting late, and the sun was already on its way down the horizon. “You're right, but I promise we can talk again as soon as the whole crisis is resolved.” Then the purple unicorn was pulled into another hug by her friend. “Good luck Twilight. I hope you all make it back in one piece.” After saying goodbye, Twilight made her way back to the Wildraubtier, but another pony she knew waited for her. Spitfire, the leader of the Wonderbolts was currently hovering around the robot trying to take in as many details as possible; like most other ponies she, was mesmerized by this miracle of technology. The costumed yellow pegasus did not even notice the pilot until she heard a throat being cleared below her. “Oh what, hey you're Twilight Sparkle, correct?” Spitfire landed in front of Twilight, a tightly sealed bag was hanging from her neck, on the bag was the symbol of princess Celestia. “Yes I am, say what's in that bag?” Twilight pointed curiously at the bag. “Well, the princess wanted me to deliver this bag to you. She said the instructions have been sent to Spike already. She also said the content is very important so try not to lose it, and if you do immediately return for a replacement even if you're almost back at the Kurogane.” Twilight was a little confused at this, what could be so important that she would have to return all the way from the Kurogane to replace it if she loses it. Spitfire saw the confusion on Twilight’s face. “She said it's important for future supplies.” Twilight then levitated the bag from Spitfires neck and on her own she took a look inside and saw some sort of powder, she looked at the Wonderbolt and asked what it was. “Some sort of magic powder I suppose, the princess said it was very fragile which is why she couldn’t send it to Spike.” Twilight was satisfied with that answer and then she got an idea. “Thank you Spitfire, by the way could you do me a favor?” “Sure thing what is it?” Twilight pointed at the goggles that rested on Spitfires forehead and explained how she wanted to bring a gift for each of her friends and that Rainbow Dash was such a great fan of the Wonderbolts. “No problem, anything for a fan, and besides, I don't think I ever thanked her properly for saving my life during the Best Young Fliers Competition.” Spitfire took her goggles off and put them into the saddlebags to the rest of the trinkets. “Well then, I'll be off now and you should probably be too, give those golems a good one for me.” The fiery haired Wonderbolt offered a hoofshake which Twilight accepted, and took off to Canterlot at an awe inspiring speed. One last gift. Quickly galloping to the library, she did not have to think too long about what to bring for Spike. A blue gem levitated into her saddlebags, along with two books for herself. This should make Spike happy and keep her occupied for a little while; recently, she did not have too much time for reading anyway so those two should do for now. Twilight went back to the Wildraubtier and noticed a large, rectangular steel cage next to it. Inside the steel cage were several crates which she guessed were the promised supplies. She also saw a cart with four barrels next to the cage. That must be the apples Big Macintosh collected. The cage was already closed but Twilight had a different idea. She magically activated the cockpit hatch and teleported herself up. After a few careful measurements she decided that, while it would be a tight fit, she could store the barrels behind the pilot seat so she levitated the barrels up and put them behind the seat. A team of pegasus ponies then attached steel ropes to the hooks at the side of the cage. The Wildraubtier’s cockpit closed again with the pilot inside and took off into the air were it transformed back into flight mode. Twilight hovered carefully above the cage holding the supplies while the pegasi attached the other ends of the steel ropes, hooking the cage to the Wildraubtier. The task was made a little harder since some of the ponies were intimidated by the machine while other were still in awe. Twilight even had to reprimand one pegasus with a marker in his mouth because he wanted to write his name on the Wildraubtier. After all hooks were attached the foreman flew up in front of her. “Alright Ms. Twilight, you're good to go and don't worry, these hooks were made for fast travel; so as long as you don't do any crazy stunts the supplies should be fine.” The foreman gave her a quick salute which she returned despite the fact that he couldn't see it and flew into the air. At first she was worried because nopony knew how much a Personal Trooper can carry, but the cage with the supplies barely slowed the Wildraubtier down. Twilight smiled at how strong her Wildraubtier was and activated the intercom to say goodbye to the ponies below. “Alright everypony I'm off again, I promise that I and every other pony at the dig site will return safely; those golems won't hurt a single pony as long as we still have the Personal Troopers.” Twilight believed that these machines can save Equestria and she hoped that the other ponies would believe in them too. The crowds down below cheered at her reassuring words as the Wildraubtier accelerated and sped off in the direction of the desert. The flight back to the Kurogane was just as uneventful as her flight to Ponyville, if a little slower since Twilight did not want to risk losing the supplies. Even though nothing really happened, and there was an autopilot that could take over some of her duties, the pilot of the Wildraubtier decided that she shouldn't start with her books just yet and look out for possible ambushes instead. It was already past midnight as the intercom of the Wildraubtier crackled to life. Spark’s face appeared at the side of her screen. “Oh Twilight, thank goodness you're back! everypony missed you so much.” The purple mare could not contain her joy and grinned widely. “Good to see you too Spark, are my friends there?” As if on command five other screens popped up, showing the other girls, and Spike hopped onto Sparks back. They all greeted her friend back and told Twilight how much they missed her until Spark interrupted them. “Now now girls, remember that you are supposed to move out and guard Twilight while she brings in the crates.” All pilot ponies nodded their affirmations. Twilight could now see the entrance of the cave where the Kurogane was lying. The purple mare was already gleefully anticipating the looks of joy on her friends faces when they get their gifts when she noticed something. “What the hay?” A huge boulder was flying at her from behind and she noticed it too late to dodge it. The boulder hit her right in the back thruster forcing her to crash land in the dunes. Twilight tried her best and managed to slow the Wildraubtiers descend at least a little. The first thing she did after the rough landing was to look for the supplies. Said supplies were luckily unharmed thanks to the metal cage protecting them. “Are ya'll alright sugarcube?” Twilight could see some silhouettes moving into her direction from the cave entrance. “I'm fine Applejack, but what was that?” To answer Twilight questions six huge figures rose from the sands. At first the girls expected more sand golems but then they noticed that something was different this time. These golems stood on two legs, further supported by the two gorilla like arms that touched down on the ground and furthermore, they were not made out of sand, they were stone golems. “Guess we're not the only ones who got an upgrade, still I'm gonna beat those dumb rocks back into rubble.” Confidently Rainbow Dash sped towards the new golems with her burst railgun outstretched in front of her when another PT moved up to her. “Wait for me Dashie.” Pinkie Pie was flying in a new Personal Trooper. This one was primarily white with blue linings along the joints and on the 'gloves' and the tip of its 'boot'. The head looked a lot like the Gespenst but it had two green eyes instead of just one slit. The shoulders were fanned into three thin, rounded plates on top of each other, and six fins were sticking out of its back. The left hand had three tubes to it that looked just like the autocannon of the Schutzwald and in the right hand it held a long black barreled rifle with a blue and white grip matching the overall color scheme. Inside the cockpit Pinkie Pie was getting instructions by Digger. “Remember Pinkie, the Weissritter is build for long range combat so keep your distance. Also the oxtongue rifle has two settings, the E-Mode fires an energy beam and B-Mode fires bullets.” The pink pilot gave Digger a salute. “Okie dokie Diggy!” Then she took aim at the first golem. The oxtongue rifle was held against the side of the Weissritter’s hip to catch the recoil as a bright, yellow energy beam shot out of it and shot the arm of a stone golem off. The giant fell down as it lost one of its supports. Twilight was impressed by the accuracy, the Weissritter was still a speck on the horizon and Pinkie still hit her target perfectly. The golems reacted accordingly to the new threat and charged towards the new arrivals. The other new PT with Applejack as its pilot meanwhile was charging ahead of the other ground units. The farmer pony had some difficulties with the controls as the entire cockpit was shaking wildly. Spark explained to Applejack that the heavily armored Alteisen needed stronger thrusters to move properly, and so there would me much more force she had to control, which was fine by the farmer turned pilot. She already proved how stubborn she was in the past and this machine couldn't possibly be more stubborn than her. The red Alteisen, like the Weissritter, looked a lot like a Gespenst but with much thicker armor and while primarily red it was also painted black on its joints. Instead of a slit it also had two green eyes and smaller 'ears' than the Gespenst, but the most striking feature was the large, red horn on its forehead. The Alteisen’s shoulders were also larger and reached even higher than the head. The front of the shoulders were covered with a white hatch indicating that there was something underneath. On its left arm was an autocannon and on its right arm was a steel stake with a large, round bunker mounted right behind it, designed to drive stake after stake into the enemy. As the first golem came into range Applejack wasted no time and rammed the tip of the stake right into the chest of the golem. At first it did not seem to do anything to the rock beast but then with just the push of a button the bunker rammed the stake deep into the golem, hitting the core. Without its energy source the living rock formation crumbled, leaving only rubble behind. “That'll teach ya ta throw rocks at mah friends.” While Applejack had staked the first golem Fluttershy aimed her twin beam cannons at another one. The blue beams melted away most of the rock but sadly they failed to destroy the core. Fluttershy let out a meek whisper, “Uhm.. help please?” On cue a green glowing disk flew past the shy pegasus Schutzwald and sliced at the rock golem but it was still not enough and Fluttershy barely managed to avoid a boulder that the half molten golem threw in her direction. Luckily Applejack reached the golem and drove a stake through the almost liquid chest. Again the golem crumbled as Applejack pulled the stake that was now covered with molten rock out. Rarity looked at the situation. Pinkie Pie just finished another golem that tried to throw rocks at her. Effortlessly she dodged the boulders while firing the B-Mode of the oxtongue rifle, laying the core bare. Rainbow Dash saw the opportunity and told her pink friend to leave the rest to her. Rainbow Dash flew right in front of the golem and activated her assault blade, causing a loud roar as the teeth of the blade got ready to saw through any obstacle. The rock golem raised one of its arms to swat the pegasus and her Guarlion down. The huge fist nearly hit the fast, airborne robot but Dash managed to sidestep the blow in the last second and sliced at the core with the unrelenting teeth of the assault blade. Before it could strike again the core was finally in two pieces. The unicorn fashionista smiled at how well this fight was going, with the new PT's the other rock golems should prove no threat at all, although it was a little frightening that the new golems could take so much more punishment. The magic in those cores must reinforce the rocks somehow. Twilight Sparkle meanwhile recovered from her forced landing. Despite the fact that Nightmare Moon was sending much tougher golems now the battle went smoothly thanks to their own upgrade and now her friends were finishing off the remaining golems. Her relieve was then shaken by a loud rumble near her Wildraubtier, the golem that got its arm shot off recovered and was now picking up a part of its old arm, struggling to stand on two feet. “Girls, the golem Pinkie shot down recovered I need help NO...UGH!” The rocks hitting the Wildraubtier could not destroy it but Twilights PT was now badly dented, but that was not the concern of the purple unicorn. When they were hit the second time Twilight could swear she heard a yelp behind her, she turned around and looked into the barrel with the apples from Big Macintosh. Twilight’s mouth went dry as she saw a piece of pink cloth sticking out of the apples. “No, no, no, no, NONONO!” Applejack then appeared on her intercom. “Is somethin' wrong Twi? Are ya'll hurt?” Twilight did not respond to Applejack, instead she carefully lifted the apples out of the barrel and she could almost feel her heart stop as she dug a red maned head out of the barrel. Two orange eyes looked at her sheepishly. “Hi, Twilight.” In the Alteisen’s cockpit Applejack also went into shock, that voice couldn't be. “A-Applebloom?” The farmers voice was shaking, she hoped that she was just hearing voices right now more than ever, but instead she saw her little sisters head rise out of the barrel behind Twilight. “Yes, sis?” This was too much for Applejack and the farmer pony started to yell. “TWILIGHT, WHAT IS APPLEBLOOM DOING THERE?” Said unicorn was frantic, “I don't know she must have sneaked into the barrel while I wasn't looking.” Applejack did not respond, instead she pushed the pedals of the Alteisen down to the bottom of the cockpit as her robot reached incredible speed. Pinkie Pie tried to shoot the golem down but as she took aim one remaining golem managed to hit her with a boulder while she was distracted and knocked the rifle out of her hand. The one armed golem was now trudging towards the Wildraubtier and as it reached the downed PT it raised one of its feet, ready to stomp it into the ground. Twilight held Applebloom and closed her eyes bracing herself for the impact but instead she only heard the sound of rapid fire. The terrified unicorn opened her eyes again to see the golem stunned by a volley of Applejack’s autocannons. As her friend reached them with the Alteisen the red PT grabbed to golems remaining arm, forcing it to turn in her direction. The Alteisen’s horn started to glow bright red and Applejack delivered a headbutt that caused the Alteisen’s horn to slice right through the stone. As the core was visible Applejack jammed the stake into it. “DON’T. YOU. DARE. TOUCH. MAH. SISTER!” At every word another stake was shot into the golem, and as the last stake went though it, the golem was already crumbling. With the immediate threat to her sisters life gone Applejack turned around to see how the others were doing. Pinkie recovered the oxtongue rifle and finished one of the remaining golems off with Rainbow Dash and the rest of her friends already dispatched the last golem. Inside the cockpit meanwhile Twilight scolded Applebloom. “What were you thinking sneaking into the Wildraubtier all by yourself?” Twilight was furious at Applebloom, she promised her a ride in her PT once the whole disaster was over and what does that filly do? Said filly meekly tried to explain herself. “Ah didn't sneak in by mahself.” Dread filled Twilight, if that means what she thinks it means... Using her magic she poked around in the other three barrels and to her horror she found three other fillies, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Dinky Hooves. Twilight was now too shocked to say anything to the three fillies that were now looking at her with sheepish guilt as a shadow loomed over them. Directly in front of the Wildraubtier towered Applejack in her Alteisen. “Applebloom,” the sister of mentioned filly sounded beyond angry like the farmer tried her best not to scream them down right here and now. “You're in big trouble now lil missy,” Applebloom gulped, the last time she made her sister this angry things did not end well. “Once we get back to the Kurogane...I WILL SPANK YOU UNTIL YOU CAN CALL MY HOOFPRINT A CUTIE MARK!” This proved too much for the little filly as she curled up in Twilight’s lap like a scared cat. Even the other Cutie Mark Crusaders were shaking badly. Not that the purple unicorn couldn't understand their fear, even she was scared of Applejack right now. Authors note: FINALLY, this one took me longer than usual, I should really set a shcedule for myself. A few paragraph a day should be fine. Also my proofreader is not available right now so please forgive me any grammar errors. I will put this up until Midnight Moon is back and replace the chapter with the proofread one. Also the little story about Derpy and Hawkeye was an idea for another fanfic I had, should I try to write it now or should I finish Super Pony Taisen first?
