Our group of seven and the two regally dressed ponies were inside a large light gray room with two windows to alleviate the grim feeling in the area. "Give it to us straight, how much trouble are we in?" Circuit said in despair thinking both him and his team were going to be in big trouble.
"Well for one you and your group are going to pay for those boxes of donuts." The white pony said in a stern tone that of a mother if her child something wrong.
"Well that makes sense." Circuit said as he sighed in relief.
"Next we want to know who you are." The blue pony said leaning towards the group.
"I would like to say the same. Razor said as she stared at the clock bored out her mind.
"Razor!" Scalor said angrily as he moved closer to his roadrunner companion.
"No she is right, we should introduce ourselves I am Princess Celestia, and this is my sister Princess Luna." The pony said as her left wing pointed towards the blue pony.
"Pleased to meet you all." Luna said as she smiled trying to greet the group with the best way she could.
"We are both rulers of Equestria, the land that you and your friends are in." Celestia said telling the group where they were.
"Well that explains where we are." Outlook said as he looked outside of the window.
"Now would you tell us who you are?" Luna asked as she leaned towards the group sitting opposite from her and her sister
"Gladly my name is Scalor leader of this group." The cyborg said as he flexed robotic fins.
"Sorry to ask but why are you are covered in metallic plating?" Celestia asked as the metal on Scalor gleamed into her eyes.
"Well its a long story but I'll tell ya." Scalor said activating his hologram projector to tell his story.
"Pull up a chair this may take a while." Razor said sarcastically getting relaxed in her chair.
"It all started when I was a teenager looking for a job when I saw a flyer for this company looking for test subjects little did I know it would turn me half robot." Scalor said as he touched his legs as he somberly recalled the day he was converted into a half robot.
"It must be hard dealing with all that metal replacing most of your body." Celestia said feeling sympathetic for the fish.
"Well after some complications I managed to go with my normal life." He said as he stood up jogging in place as his legs made a whirring sound.
"My name is Dice and it is an honor to be in the presence of royalty." The platypus said as he bowed before the two ponies.
"How can you see us if you have that sash over your eyes? Are you blind?" Celestia asked wondering how the platypus was seeing them without seeing.
"Yes, yet my sensory nerves pick up every little detail of my surroundings." Dice said touching his bill explaining his ability.
"Fascinating." Luna said as she leaned toward the platypus's eye sash.
"The name's Razor the team scout." the roadrunner said in a determined tone.
"I'm Outlook, Razor's cousin." The owl said as he wrapped his wing around his favorite cousin.
"Yeah my idiotic yet useful cousin." Razor said forcing a smile knowing her cousin was being an idiot.
"I'm Circuit Breaker, I'm the brains of our team." The mole said as he removed his gasses to clean them.
"I'm Slash and this is my bother Kooker." The alligator said pointing towards his chameleon brother sitting on his shoulder.
"Hi!" Kooker said in a gleeful tone.
"Together we are The Lightning Seven!" The group said getting into a unified action pose.
"Nice to meet you all.” Celestia said.
"Your majesties Twilight and her friends have arrived.” A guard said as he trotted toward the regal ponies direction, while also trying to avert his eyes from the seven animals near him.
"Splendid.” Celestia said as Luna, the Lightning Seven, the guard, and herself walked out of the room and into the main hall where six multicolored ponies walking towards the white alicorn.
"Celestia we came here as fast as we could.” The purple one said getting the closest to Celestia with a look of concern on her face.
"Well Twilight it's great to see you and your friends too.”
"Everyone I would like to introduce you to the Lightning Seven.” Celestia said pointing her left wing towards the animal group as they made the same action pose they did for her.
"Universal mercenaries for hire at your service.” Scalor said proudly hoping to impress the group of ponies that surrounded them.
"Hello my name is Twilight Sparkle, the newest princess of Equestria ." The purple pony said as she opened up her wings introducing herself first.
“I'm Pinkie Pie party pony extraordinaire.” The pink mare said bouncing up and down like a rubber ball.
“I'm Fluttershy I take care of animals, so if you have an ailment just talk to me if you want to anyway.” The yellow pony said as she started to hide behind her hair.
“Rainbow Dash is the name and being fast is my game.” The light blue pony said as her hooves flew sporadically to show her strength.
“Howdy I'm Applejack, and I grow some of the best apples around.” The orange farmer said as she tilted her Stetson hat.
“My name is Rarity, and if any of you feel like wearing clothes the first order is free.” Rarity said seeing the technically 'naked' animals standing before her.
“Well it's nice meeting you all.” Scalor said as him and his team smiled seeing so many new faces.
“Lightning Seven I wish for you all to go along with Twilight and her friends, not only will you see more of our world but maybe you'll be able to pay off that tab.” Luna said telling the Lightning Seven what they should do instead of washing dishes for the donut shop.
“Well can't argue with that.” Outlook said shrugging his wings knowing he didn't want to wash dishes for three boxes worth of donuts.
“Onward team!” Scalor said courageously running towards the castle doors.
