Grif yelled, landing on Tucker. "Hey get off of me asshole!" Tucker kicked Grif off of him, just for Simmons to land on him right after. "Man I hate you guys." Tucker groaned. "The feeling is somewhat mutual." Grif said, getting up. Tucker, Grif and Simmons got up, Tucker still holding onto his groin for dear life. "Where are we?" Simmons asked. "Is this heaven?" "No, it isn't." Sarge said. "This is uh... where is this exactly?" Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie and Rarity just stood there confused, unsure of what was happening. All they knew is that everyone who was tied to Caboose seemed to be just as wrong in the head. "Hey blue, you okay over there?" Sarge yelled. "What the fuck do you think asshole?" Tucker yelled back. "I squashed my love stick." "What is with the ponies?" Grif asked. "And why are they staring at me." "Why are YOU staring at US?" Rainbow Dash replied. "Holy shit they can talk? That's pretty fucking rad." "Why are you here?" Church asked. "Well, that Carolina person said that you have been in here for far too long, so she sent us to get you." Simmons said. "What? Why? We've only been in here for like two minutes." Church said. "Yeah, she really wants you out of here." Simmons said. "Yeah, and she sent a message with us to give it to you." Grif said. "She said she will kill us all if you don't come back in the next day. In hindsight I probably should have been a bit more worried." "You aren't exactly the whining type." Sarge said. "You're more of the sit around and do nothing kind of type." "You really know how I tick." Grif said with sarcastic sincerity. "Well, we're having a little trouble getting Caboose back." Church explained. "Why?" Simmons said. Church motioned towards a blue pony sitting huddled up to a pink one. "What?" Simmons asked. "What do the blue and pink ponies have to do with anything?" "Hey Simmons." Caboose said. "How's it going?" "Fine Caboose." Simmons said, his head whipping around a second later in realization. "Wait... Caboose... are you a horse." "For fuck’s sake YES he is a horse." Church said. "Can we actually take a minute to focus for one second?" "Dude, did you really just ask that question?" Tucker asked. "I mean don't you know ANYTHING about any of us?" "You're right. I wasn't thinking. Why would I think any of you would be smart enough to-" But Church was cut short by a flash of white light. "What's happening?" "I don't know!" Tucker said. "Is it a flashbang?" "Fucked if I know." Church yelled, eyes closed due to the brightness. "Oh fuck, I don't want to die! There's so many things I haven't NOT done yet. So many things I haven't slept on!" Grif yelled. "Calm down and open your eyes." Said a serene, calming voice. Soon the reds and blues opened their eyes to find themselves in the middle of a large room, with towering pillars and a red carpet leading to a door. On the other side, however, was a raised platform with a throne sitting on top. Sitting on the throne was a large horse, with a sparkling, flowing mane. The six sat in the middle of the room, gawking at the magnificent creature. They sat for a couple moments just staring. After what seemed like hours, someone spoke up. "Hi! My name is Caboose. It's a pleasure to meet you. I like your hair." "Thank you Caboose." She said. "My name is Princess Celestia, but you can call me Celestia if you wish." "Oh okay. Hello Princess Celestia!" Caboose said, getting up. "Why does shit keep happening to us?" Tucker said, still holding his crotch plate. "Why not anybody else in the galaxy. Surely god would have ran out of patience with us." "I think you've been chosen for a reason." Celestia said, now letting out a small smirk. "Though I do not know what that reason could be." Church let out a sigh then looked around. After a quick once over of everybody he looked back at Celestia. "So I assume you brought us here?" "Yes." She replied simply. "Mind telling us why?" Sarge asked. "I really don't like being in the same room as blues." "That is why I brought you here." Celestia said. "What? So I could hate the blues?" Sarge asked. "They really don't have to be in the same room as me and I'll still hate them." Celestia sighed softly. She was already regretting bringing them here. "My student Twilight Sparkle sent me a message telling me that some strange beings were fighting on her lawn." Celestia explained. "She wanted me to put a stop to it and that's what I plan on doing." "Good luck with that." Sarge grunted. "We've been fighting for many long years and if you think you are going to stop it simply by asking, you have another thing coming." "Who said anything about asking?" Celestia said, raising an eyebrow. "What are you going to do with us?" Tucker asked. Celestia said nothing and just smiled. The five soldiers soon found themselves surrounded by white mist and fell to the ground. "She's going to kill us! Run for your life!" Grif yelled, standing up on two legs just to fall right back over. It took a minute for the white shroud to dissipate but after it did something wonderful had happened. "Why the fuck am I a horse?" Tucker asked. "Hey you look just like me!" Caboose yelled. "Yay we're all pretty horses." "What the? Did you just turn us into equines?" Simmons asked. Celestia just nodded. "Mind telling us why?" Tucker asked, stabilizing on all fours. "I mean, it's not like I haven't spent my fair share of time on all fours, but usually someone is under me." "I did it to stop the fighting." Celestia said. "I think it is time you found your true selves, and you will not be able to turn back until you do." "And how exactly are we going to find our true selves exactly?" Church asked. Celestia stared at Church with a tight smile. "Do you know what a cutie mark is?"
