//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: The Band of Equestria // by CoconutSwirl //------------------------------// Chapter 2 the great band of equestria It'd been 2 hours since we'd gotten into the everfree forest and Luna's just raising her moon now. We've already set up the tents gotten a fire going, cooked the beef and veges and we're just sitting around now playing guitar waiting for Greg to finish up the dinner or for the inevitable guards coming to get us. "this happened at the worst time didn't it?" Matt asked us with the underlining sad tone. "what do you mean Matt this is a whole new opportunity for us" there goes jayson with his uplifting attitude "just think no more worries no more.." "meat" " what now Matt" I said through gritted teeth. " no more meat they won't let us eat meat" he had a point there but all of us already new that. " oh well I guess we can just..." *crack* " what was that?" Joe got up from his resting spot and picked up the hatched he was using to cut the smaller logs while the rest of us grabed an axe that we all used except Greg who had a kitchen knife and Jayson who had his pocket knife. "I think they heard us" someone whispered behind a bush. "ya think" another whispered a little loudly. " I know that voice!" Matt started to perk up " rainbow dash? " suddenly loads of royal guards popped up arounds us. I turned around in a 360 and counted atleast 20 guards in golden armour and about 5 in a darkish blue. " you've got to be shitting me!" Greg yelled as he rose his knife the guards started to take a battle stance and the unicorns among them seemed to have their horns glowing ready for some spell. Twilight steped out of the bushes along with the rest of the mane six with a little bit of a lack of fluttershy. Twiligh t started to speak " put your weapons down and come with us in the name of Celestia" I'm not having any bloodshed particularly because we're in equestria so I slamed my axe into the tree next to me " you heard the unicorn put em down" " why they could attack us if we do?" Matt said to me as everyone else either lowered their weapon of stuck it in a close by tree or stump. " because if you don't they will and I'll kill you myself ya bloody basturd now drop the fucken axe" the mane six seemed to cringe when I swore at him but if the guards were bothered by my swear than they didn't show it. Matt dropped the axe and the end of it hit his toe " yah fuck!" he grabed his foot and started hopping backwards and fell over the log he was sitting on and fell on top of rainbow dash. " ah get this... Thing! Off of me! " she cried
