Twilight was sleeping after another late night of reading. She had received a letter from Celestia informing her that some new and seemingly hostile monsters had been sighted in random locations all over Equestria. She had received some blurred photos to use as reference. After she had looked in every animal encyclopedia book available she eventually got some sleep. Even while she slept the task set by her teacher dawned on her immensely. She had been warned not to approach any of the monsters because of other researcher reports that the monsters were very hostile, but how was she supposed to learn any more without interacting or even approaching these strange creatures.
After a few stressful but well need hours of sleep she finally opened her eyes and the sweet smell of breakfast hit her. She groaned and stretched her tired body before she rolled out of her bed and walked over to her bathroom to freshen up. After fixing her mane, tail and brushing her teeth she polishing her horn sand made her way downstairs feeling much better. When she entered the kitchen she saw Spike finishing some fired hay for himself and some grass pancakes for her.
"Morning Spike" Twilight said, giving off a long yawn.
"Morning Twi" Spike said, serving breakfast and letting out a yawn of his own "guess they are infectious".
They both sat there eating their breakfast in silence as they both slowly woke up.
"So what are we going to do about this creature project" Spike asked, as he was taking his empty plate to the sink and washed it off.
"I don't know" Twilight groaned, as she rubbed her temples "the reports said that most of them were territorial and aggressive, so how can we learn anything without getting close to one".
"Fluttershy?"
"We can try but remember her condition when we had stop that dragons snoring. She was terrified and I refuse to put her in the same state."
"True but what are we going to.....-"
"TWILIGHT"
The library door exploded and Twilight was tackled by something pink.
"Pinkie not the door again" Spike groaned "going to have to fix it again"
"TwilightIneedyourhelpsomenewponysarecometotownandIneedyourhelptogetthepartyready" Pinkie cried in record time.
"Um what" Twilight managed to get out "Pinkie can you say that slower please.......and get off me"
"Oops sorry Twi"
Pinkie jumped off the purple unicorn and she dusted herself off.
"Ok now tell me why you broke my door again for the third time this month" Twilight sighed, as Spike set to work fixing the door.
"Well I woke up today to see Gummy biting a lamp in the corner of the room so I tried to get to get him off but he wouldn't let go so I-"
"Pinkie the-reason-for-breaking-down-my-door" Twilight said slowly.
"Oh well when I got Gummy off the lamp I went to bake some muffins and I had a new idea for a cup cake so I tried to make it but I made some gold bars instead and I wonder what i'm going to do with all this gold so-"
"PINKIE THE DOOR" Twilight shouted "wait gold bars?"
"Well my tail twitched twice and my tummy itched and my ear flopped, that means a few new pony's are coming to town and I need your help with the decorations" Pinkie said, as she bounced around the unicorn.
"Finally" Twilight signed "alright Pinkie I will help you but I need to do a few things first. Oh and how many are there by the way"
"Hmmm I think four" Pinkie chimed. "But thanks Twilight for hel.....-"
Pinkie stopped bouncing and her back leg started shaking like mad.
"What does that mean" Spike asked, as he tested the repaired door.
Pinkie just stared at her back leg for a few worrying seconds.
"Pinkie" Twilight, waved a hoof in front of pinkie's face and got no reaction.
"SOME PONYS GOT MY PARTY CANNON" Pinkie cried.
"Wha-" was all that Twilight got out before screams could be heard from the the street and a crash soon after.

Gig crashed through the bakery wall from the force of Oats wooden gauntlet. His body hit the floor hard as he spat out a bit of blood and growled.
"Dark ones demand blood I....will.....obey".
After regaining a bit of strength he staggered onto his claws and turned on his essence. The scene around him was one of panic. Strange beings ran around in panic and fled to their homes.
"Fooooooooooood" Gig drooled.
A small one ran into his leg and froze with fear.
"Foooooood" Gig moaned again, as he prepared to indulge in a light snack.
"Oh no you don't".
Gig screamed as he whiped his head around to attack.
Tich had charged out of the bakery and grabbed Gig's head as it extended and wiped round. Gig's head stretched a good four feet and as strong as Tich was the rubber like skin was straining his foot hold as he struggled to hold the thrashing monster's head.
Oats burst out of the bakery, sword and shield in hand and grabbed the small pony and ran to the safety of a big tree house.
Oats smashed the door down and put the little pony on the floor and saw that it was shaking with fear.
"OH COME ON" a voice moaned as Oats turned to see a small reptile....thing.
"I just mended the door" it groaned again but froze as Oats and it locked eyes.
"Issac is going to love this" Oats breathed.
"Love what" a new voice said as Oats turned around and saw a purple unicorn thing.
"Oats could use some help here"
Oats sighed "Sorry about the door" was all he said and bolted out the door but not before hearing "Spike. Letter. Now"
Tich had slid slightly closer to Gig as he thrashed around wildly. Oats drew his weapons and charged at the extended neck but Gig sensed this and spewed some poison in Tich's face causing him to let go and his neck to snap back as Oats stumbled past his moved target.
Oats recollected himself and threw Tich one of the blue jars and charged at Gig again.
"Pointless Pointless Pointless Pointless" Gig repeated.
"Oh shut up" Oats said, as he smacked Gig with his shield and rolled out of the way of a slash. Tich took the antidote and the side affects took over. Tich charged into the side of Gig and carried it with him and crashed into the side of a tall elegant looking building. The wall exploded opened and rubble and cloth flew everywhere and a wooden beam collapsed as well. A high pitched scream rang through the room as a white thing stood there with a look of shock and dismay.
"Sorry ma'ma i'm just sdawcssadasdadas" Tich said as the drunk side affect kicked in.
"GHAAAAA stupid hunter submit to the dark ones" Gig growled, as it emerged from the wreckage and caused the white pony thing to scream again.
"hmmm nope" Tich said, as he picked up the 12 foot long wooden beam and swung it at Gig causing him to fly out of the room and into the street again.
"Home run WOooOooo" Tich cried, before running after Gig.

Issac was slowly becoming sober again as he strapped the colorful cannon to his back and slowly and calmly walked out of the trashed bakery. He looked around and saw some figures off in the distance coming towards the town with surprising speed. Pulling out his light bow gun he looked down the scope to see a few flying pony things. A few of them where on an chariot of some kind and had horns. But the ones that caught his attention were the ones with both wings and horns.
"Either i'm still drunk" Issac said with a hiccup "or we are in deep trouble".
At that moment Gig flew by and crashed into another house revealing some terrified looking pony things before getting back up and rushing Tich.
Isaac pulled out the cannon and read the instructions that came with it.
"Why does it even have instructions" Issac muttered "right" he began "Party Artillery Room Transformer Y class cannon mark one or P.A.R.T.Y Cannon"
Step one: Set the cannon to desired setting. Issac saw a gauge on the side and cranked it up to max and the cannon visibly swelled.
"Ok" Issac said in confusion.
Step two: Point cannon at intended area.
"Gigs face is the intended area" Issac chuckled.
Step Three: Press the big red button.
"......thats it? Issac said, as he checked the instructions again. "Well Ok"
Issac looked at the back of the cannon and saw a big button with the letters PARTY TIME.
"Awesome sauce" Issac thought as he cracked his knuckles and rotated his shoulders. "PARTY TIME"

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna thank goodness" Twilight cried, as the Alicorns appeared in a flash of light with a few guards that Shining and Cadence brought with them.
"Twilight are you ok" Cadence said, as she hug the unicorn firmly.
"Yes tell us of these strangers" Luna said calmly.
"Well Spike and I were having breakfast and Pinkie came in and told me that four new pony's were coming here with her Pinkie sense" that raised a few eyebrows but no pony questioned it as Twilight went on.
"Suddenly there was a some screams and a big crash and a voice came from the town square".
"What did it say" the white allicorn asked.
"Something about food." Twilight said, as her eyes grew wider.
"So they mean to harm our subjects" Luna said, with anger in her eyes.
"Well not all of them" Twilight injected.
"Pray tell" Luna demanded.
"Well the two legged one came in here earlier with a foal and left her here for protection".
"Where is this foal" Celestia asked calmly.
"She is upstairs resting she was shaking when whatever it was came in" Twilight said, as she looked to the stairs.
"I see, best we not bother her then. She must be shaken up after all that" said the Alicorn of the night.
"Indeed Luna that would be best" Celestia reassured.
"Was the thing armed in any way" Shining asked.
"It had a red glowing sword and a red spiked shield" Spike said, as he had seen more of the thing than Twilight.
"Any magic?" Shining asked again.
"Not from what I saw but they seem to have claws" Spike said, as he remembered the strange being.
"Claws?! Did they have body armor!" Shinning asked rather hastily.
"Uh yer why?" Spike said, being a bit taken back by Shinning sudden question.
"Because as well as monsters coming out of nowhere there have been reports of two legged beings who hunt and kill the monsters as well as threaten and harm pony towns."
A crash shook the tree and a few more cries could be heard.
"We must hurry" Luna commanded, and the guards stood at attention. "We must observe the enemy before we attack is that clear"
"Yes Princess" Shinning and the guard said in unison.

Gig ducked as the wooded beam rushed past, crashing into another wall and the residence scream and ran for their lives. Gig wiped his head and cause Tich jump back into the open.
The Gigginox walked out into the open area, panting heavily, drool and poison dripped from his mouth.
"The dark ones demand blood I will consume you" Gig said, with venom (bad joke alert) in every word.
"EAT THIS" Tich roared, as he took the beam and threw it with demonic strength as he flared up his essence causing the beam to fly like a missile but sadly it the Gigginox dodged and caught Tich in its tail.
"ENOUGH" Gig scream, as he pooped a strange substance from his tail encasing Tich in the sticky and rubber like goo. Tich tried to break free but the goo stuck to him and only stretched at his attempts.
After encasing Tich, Gig turned his attention to Oats. They walked in around each other. Oats never taking his eyes off Gig. Oats drew his Rathalos Sword and shield. The blade hissed with heat as it glowed a deep red and orange. After a few rotations they stopped and Oats rushed Gig. Gig grasped a piece of wreckage with his tail and threw it a Oats who just sliced it clean in half as the wreckage was no match for the blades intense heat. Oats slammed his shield into Gigs chest but got knocked back by a rubbery neck whip.

Issac found the battle site after chasing Tich who made Gig crash through half of the buildings in the town. Issac knew Oats can't keep up the fight forever but what could he do. Then a crazy but inventive idea came to mind.
"I'm drunk who cares" Issac mutter, as he barged into a house that didn't have any holes in it......yet. Over in the corner of the room Issac saw what appeared to be a family of pony things that just looked at Issac scared to death.
"Morning" Issac said, as he took a look at the gas cooker and filled a canister he had with gas and went over to the kitchen table and began to build something (Just like this)
The gas canister was attached to a pressure valve with a metal hose at the end. The valve was hooked up to a trigger and beneath the hose was a small lit candle. After wiping a tear from his eye at his beautiful creation he ran with it out of the house and called to Oats.
"OATS GOT A PRESENT FOR YA" Issac called, as he threw the contraption at Oats who barely caught it after avoiding another attack and as Gig prepared to bite down on on him he pulled the trigger.
Flames shot out of the hose end and spewed into Gigs face. Gig screamed as his pale and bare skin did little to resist the flamethrowers effect. Gig backed away tossing his head around wildly trying to put out the flames. Oats tried again but the canister was empty. Gig recovered and opened his maw wide enough to swallow him whole and closed Oats closed his eyes and waited. All he heard was a sound like a plug being pulled and when Oats opened his eyes Issac had stuck a colorful cannon into Gigs mouth.
"PARTY TIME" Issac cried, as he hit the big button.
Gig visibly inflated to twice his size his wounded eye bulged as his body was filled with streamers party banners and cake. Lots and lots of cake. When the inflating stopped and Issac pulled the cannon away Gig threw up everything. Large cakes, streamers, punch, balloons, small cakes, party hats, party blowers, more cake, then some poison and some actual vomit all flowed like a fire hose from his mouth and tail.
Needless to say Gig passed out from emptying three rooms worth of party supplies and as adangerous black and red energy discharge rippled across his body a rune like symbol appeared on Gigs back and head before fading away and then Gig collapsed on the ground.
Issac and Oats caught their breath before pulling Tich free of his slimy prison and collected their thoughts
"One thing has just come to mind guys" Oats said, sheathing his sword and sitting down on the ground "Where the hell are we"
"You are in Equestria" a rather angry voice called, and the three hunters and the unconscious Gigginox was approached by a slightly bigger white pony with wings and a horn followed by a blue one and a then a few.........dozen guards.
Tich burped and a small blue bubble came out of his mouth and burst.
"There goes the side affect" Oats said quietly, as Tich grabbed his head as the hangover hit him full force.
Issac looked at the white pony and narrowed his drunk eyes. He took a full breath of air and slammed his right foot onto the top of the cannon and struck a pose and shouted at the ponies.
"I ONLY HAVE ONE QUESTION"
"And what pray tell what is that" the blue one answered, with a bad frown on her face.
"Issac don't say anything stupid" Oats whisperers to Issac.
"WHO! THE! BLOODY HELL! ARE! YOU!"
Time seemed to come to a stand still.
Shining and the Guards had their mouths wide open in shock. Twilight's eye twitched as her mane began to stick up in random places. The towns folk stood in a crowd and were just as shocked. Luna's face was deep red with rage. Celestia was either unaffected or had the universes best poker face.
"NOW TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER"
Oats face palmed.
