//------------------------------// // Team Iron Pony Part III The Final Countdown // Story: A Whole New World // by Van50608 //------------------------------// Chapter 28 Team Iron Pony Part III Final Countdown Sorry guys that this chapter is so late, but I've been busy as hell and with track and midterms it's a freaking shitton.  Also be sure to message a guy name "granttheearthpony" he's down in the comments. He's the real Grant from the story, and help me covert him to a Brony. Thanks! -Van  The next morning I awoke with a pleasant since of confidence. I combed my mane and walked down the stairs to see that everypony else had a smug look of confidence as well. We all agreed that we would still be best friends after the contest had ended, but the losing team could still complain about being Trixie's slave when Grant decided to bring her back from hell.  We had about 14 hours until the contest began so I decided that I would have Luna over for lunch. We are beginning to rebuild our once strong relationship, because ones walls tend to be weaker when they walk in on their special somepony doing it with somepony else.  It's a pretty depressing thought actually, but I'm gonna let it slide this time. Seriously ruling a country is high stress so I really don't blame her. When she came over at around  11:30 we decided that instead of going out like we alway do, we would instead make ourselves a nice lunch, and watch a movie. I was thinking that Black Hawk Down or Pearl Harbor would be good ones because for the last month or so she wanted to see how humanity fights its wars. I decide that I should start from the beginning with the most advanced super soldiers of their era. The Spartans. Ruthless killing machines capable of taking out forces that outnumber them 100 to 1. With this newly acquired info I decided that she would like 300 the best.  I head to the kitchen to see if she approves of my choice, to find that she has already began to make lunch. We were having daffodil sandwiches and tomato soup. The best part was the fact that she way doing in a Prench outfit that was at least two sizes to small. I walk up to her and say "Dawwww you look so motherfucking cute." She said "Thanks I really just want to make you happy." I replied "Well that's all I could ever ask for."  We kissed and then I asked "Hey want to watch 300?" She asked "What's that?" I reply "Probably  one of the best war movies of all time! It's about 300 soldiers called Spartans that defend a pass about a couple of mile wide to stop  500,000 soldiers from invading their county giving everybody else time to escape." She said "Wow that's impressive."  I replied "Yeah they were the best of their kind. With advanced weaponry, training, armor, and ruthlessness. Nothing could stop them." She asked "Did they win?" I said "Yes and No. They defended the pass long enough, but they all died doing it. You just have to watch." She replied "Alright, but I swear if this scared me like Taken I'm going to kick your ass."  I said "Don't worry it's an adventure not a horror."  She replied "Alright you get it ready and I will get the sandwiches ready then change."  I walk into the living  room to pop in the movie and get the couch set for resting I find that somepony had left a magazine next to the DVD player it said "Playmare Trololo Addition" and had a saucy Celestia in the front.  I yell "Holy Flying Fuck! That Troll!"  Just then Luna walks in with the sandwiches and says "What's the problem?"  I replied "Your sister is on the cover of Playmare!"  Just then Jacob walks back in the house and looks over at me. The next thing I know his wings are flared and they were going tha tump tha thump.  I yelled "Jacob get the fuck out! Come on man!"  He mutters "Sorry bro." and quietly walks out. We then pop in the movie and begin to watch. 5 hours until contest.  "His roar was long and loud." said the announcer I saw that Luna was hanging in his every word then the arrows black out the sky and the credits begin to roll.  She looked at me with astonishment and says "So that's one of your worlds greatest war stories?" I reply "Yes and there are many more like Black Hawk Down, Pearl Harbor, and Full Metal Jacket just to name a few."  She replied "Wow I'm going to have to watch them soon with you."  I reply "Yeah, but for now I have to get ready for the contest it stars in about five hours. Can never get there to early!"  She replied "Ok. I'll meet you there tonight."  She kisses me on the check. Honestly the feeling never gets old. I begin to walk towards the park, but turn around and think "Wait I'm going to need some badass music to pimp walk around with." I run inside grab my iPod and scroll down the list until I see the right song and think "Perfect."  I walk outside with a boom box and begin to blare the Final Countdown and Remember The Name the sound of trumpets seems to be everypony's attention just like I wanted. The boombox wails: It's the final countdown The final countdown The final countdown (The final countdown) Ohh ho ohh The final countdown, oh ho It's the final countdown The final countdown The final countdown (The final countdown) Ohh It's the final countdown We're leaving together The final countdown We'll all miss her so It's the final countdown (The final countdown) Ohh, it's the final countdown Yeah "  then a couple of minutes later "Its ten percent luck fifteen percent skill one hundred concentrated power of will." and  I think "Time to be a badass." and continue walking on the path that leads to the park with a group curious on lookers behind me.
