AND IF THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOU SAY WHAT THE WISE MAN WITH THE AWESOME MUSTACHE IN THE VIDEO SAID, THEN JUST READ IT! PLEASE ENJOY THE STORY, AND HAVE A NICE DAY. Kyle's PoV New Jamestown "So, let me get this straight. We are going to interrogate this random pony, who may or may not know why we are here, and then let her go back?" Ben looked at me and smiled. "Yup, pretty much." "But then would they know where we are?" "Who said they will find out?" I looked at him, confused. Before I could say anything else, Chuck and Juan came out of a building. "The prisoner is ready Ben," said Juan, "We are ready for you now." "Thanks Juan, Chuck, now come along." We walked into the building and saw the pony tied up into the chair. "SOMEPONY HELP ME!" Ben looked at me. "You know good cop bad cop?" "Yeah.." "Well we are doing that, but without the good cop." At that moment, Ben walked over to the chair spun it around, and looked at the mare. "Your awake, good, now answer these questions and it may stay that way." The mare gulped. "Now, lets start easy, what is your name?" The mare just looked at us. "I repeat, what it your name...?" "R-R-R-Rarity...." "Rarity.... Nice name... What do you do for a living?" "I-I-I-I run a nearby fashion shop.... Carousel Boutique, where everything is-" "Shut up! I don't care!" "You could at least give a mare better treatment!" Chuck and Juan pulled out their swords. "Umm, nevermind.... Continue..." "Alright.... Last question, and I'm sure it's an easy one... YOU WERE AT THE PONYVILLE SCIENCE CENTER AND LEFT RIGHT BEFORE OUR LAST SURVIVOR RUN! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU ALL WANT WITH US!!!!!????" "Ummmmm.... How do you know it was me?" "CAUSE YOU WERE ONE OF THE SIX GOD DAMN PONIES CHASING US WHEN WE WERE RUNNING BACK TO THE EVERFREE FOREST!!!!" The mare looked confused. Then.... Smiled..? Then started to laugh. Chuck, Juan, and I looked at each other. Ben turned around and made the signal to stay quite. Then, Ben also started t laugh, which made the three of us more confused. Soon, they were laughing so hard that their faces turned red. Then, out of no where, Ben pulled out his knife and stabbed it through the pony's arm. Rarity cried out in pain. "You know, you are a funny mare, so funny that I lost control of my arm for a few seconds." Rarity was crying her eyes out. "Now unless to want to die, you will tell us!" She got herself under control. "I swear to Faust I don't know, but Celestia has been dragging you here....." "Where is she at?!" "I-I-I-I.... I WON'T SAY!" Ben stabbed her other arm. "TELL US NOW DAMN IT!" "CANTERLOT! SHE IS IN CANTERLOT!" "Thank you." Chuck came from behind, hit her with a club, and knocked her out. "Chuck, Juan, go to the edge of the Everfree and throw her as far as you can." "You got it." Chuck and Juan ran off towards Ponyville. "Alright, Kyle, tell everyone we have an emergency meeting. NOW!" I jumped back a little. "You got it..." TWILIGHT'S PoV Ponyville "RARITY!!! RARITY!!! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Twilight, her friends, and a few guards have been looking all morning for Rarity. They searched everywhere. "T-T-T-Twilight.... What if the creatures took her...." "Don't be silly Fluttershy! There was no way they could have got in with all the guards that are he-" "SOMEPONY HELP ME!" "Ah be darned, that sounds like Rarity!" "Your right Applejack, lets go!" Twilight and her friends and the three guards ran towards the source of the voice. When they got there, they found Rarity. They gasped when they saw her. "RARITY!!! WHAT HAPPENED?!?!" Rarity looked awful, she was muddy, bloody, and tired. "Help... Me...." "Get her to the hospital!" barked a guard. They all rushed to the hospital, except Twilight, she ran back to her library. "SPIKE!!!!" "AHHH! WHAT IS IT?" "Get a letter to Princess Celestia!" CANTERLOT CELESTIA'S PoV 'Dear Princess Celestia, My friends, some guards, and I finally found Rarity. She claims that the creatures took her in and questioned her about everything and even stabbed her in her arms! The guards are now wanting to go into the Everfree and have Rarity lead them to the creatures outpost. I was able to convince them all to wait for your order though, so what is your order? Please give it soon, or the creatures might come for us first.... Your Faithful Student, Twilight' Celestia settled down the note and sighed, Luna trotted in. "Is something wrong sister?" "Yes, I am afraid that our creatures are going to march onto Ponyville.... They want to go home, and they will stop at nothing.... They already took in and beat Rarity! It is only a matter of time, dear sister.... Send more guards to Ponyville...." Kyle's PoV Town Hall New Jamestown "Quite, quite!" Ben shouted. The town hall went quite in an instant. "Now, we interrogated the pony, and found out the princess of the land has been bringing us here, and she is in Canterlot." The people chattered excitedly. "And then we sent her back." The people looked at Ben as if he was stupid. "Well, anyone have anything to say?" "..." "YOU FOOL!" After the 'You Fool!' people starting throwing their insults left and right. I sighed, maybe we should have killed the pony, but Ben said that would make us look like Barbarians. "Ben," I looked at him, "the people are right. They know where we are now. I'm sorry, but the only way to get home is to fight." Ben gave me a dirty look. "Yeah, but what if they destroy whatever brought us here if we attack?" "You already took a pony, beat her, and stabbed her! There is no turning back now." Ben sighed. "But what about if we die... We will never go home then! We only have 251 people to fight with, and we are going against an entire nation! Let alone whatever allies they have!" Before I could speak up, or Ben could seal the deal, some person whom I had not met shouted first. "I WOULD RATHER GO HOME AND DIE TRYING THEN STAY IN THIS WORLD IN HIDING AND FEAR!" "I AGREE!" "HELL YEAH!" "LETS DO THIS!" Before we even knew it, everyone was shooting cheers of support. Ben's angry face turned into a smile. "Alright, I agree. Lets go home!" Everyone cheered. "Now lets get to work." Everyone got quite. "Farmers, butchers, take the food to somewhere safe, in case the ponies come and burn the town." Ben pointed to three girls. "Victoria, Rachel, Claudia, go to the pond and get some water for soup so we can have quick meals." "You got it." "Lee, take some people and make as many bows as you can. We were able to get 200 arrows." "OK." "The rest of you, find whatever weapons you can get your hands on! Knives, hoes, shovels, axes, anything!" "Ben, what if they come?! How much time do we have?" "I will give us twenty minutes! Lets roll!" Everyone cheered as they ran outside. Victoria, Rachel, and Claudia grabbed knives and buckets and ran towards the drinking pond. Juan and Chuck were hiding the meat supply as were the farmers. I went into a cabin and started looking for weapons. I was able to find two clubs. People were already bringing out weapons and setting them into a pile. "We are back!" The gates open, and Claudia, Victoria, and Rachel ran back in with the water. Soon, we have two swords, fifteen clubs, ten axes, five axes cut in half so they could be used with shields (I called them mini-axes), twelve knives, seven hoes, and six bows. "Well, fifty-seven weapons. Shit." Ben stated as they look over them. "Alright, um, who picks first?" Lee spoke up. "Well, let the archers get their bows and then decide." Everyone agreed to that as four girls and two boys picked up bows. "Alright, now what?" I had an idea. "Why not do Bubblegum Bubblegum in a Dish? Each job sends a representative and the first one out has their job pick last. This goes on until we have an order." Everyone, again, as if this was a perfect world, liked the idea. So the designers, builders, farmers, butchers, Lee (the only Craftsman), and scouts sent a representative. We sent Juan for the scouts. "Aright.... Here we go... Authors Note: For those who do not know how to do the bubblegum dish thing, here is a link that explains it. http://www.gameskidsplay.net/games/circle_games/bubble_gum.htm About ten minutes later and everyone wanting to kill themselves from the terrible chant you say when you play bubble gu-, you know what it's called, the game finally ended. The order in which we would pick was decided. 1st: Scouts 2nd: Builders 3rd: Farmers 4th: Butchers 5th: Designers 6th: Craftsman (Ha, Lee, that sucker.) "Alright," Ben announced, "Have at it!" I walked towards the pile and looked at my choices. I picked up a wooden shield, then a sword. I felt so bad-ass, like one of those Spartans from the 300 only I had clothes yet no head armor. Ben also picked up the second and final sword, and we lifted our heads in victory as everyone gave us dirty looks. Everyone wanted those swords. Juan got himself a mini-ax and a shield, as did Chuck. We walked out of the way, as the builders went and picked up their weapons of choice. Holy crap, there were a lot of builders. By the time they were done, there were no more mini-axes, about 3 axes left, 4 clubs, 3 knives, and 5 hoes. The farmers went and picked their weapons, and there were no more knives or axes. The butchers took the rest of the weapons. Once that was done, Ben had more to say. "Alright, we will give them till dawn, if they don't attack by then, then we will attack! And we will find a way home!" Everyone cheered loudly. "Now, farmers, go make some soup with the water, so we can have a quick meal and then we will fall asleep, scouts and three archers, you will join me on night watch, now lets move!" Everyone headed to their cabin, and were also given orders to keep their weapons near them. Lee walked up to Ben. "Ben, my friend, what about those who don't have weapons?" "Get the designers over here." Lee ran off, and a few moments later, came back with the designers. "Alright, whenever you see a dead pony, pick up their weapon, unless it is a musket, then join the fight. Until then, stay behind cover in the forest." A designer whom I had not yet met spoke up. "You said muskets?! These guys have guns?!" "I said muskets, but I don't know if they used rifling, so they may be inaccurate anyways. Now go to your cabins." They nodded and ran off. I yawned and walked outside the gate, sitting down up against the wooden fort. I sat for about fifteen minutes when one of the archers brought me some soup, I ate it, and they took my shift so I could get some rest. As I closed my eyes, I began to think about where we would end up if we found our way back home. Would we all land at the same spot, or would we all end up back at our own homes? Only time will tell.... Location: Ponyville Third Person PoV As Normal Norman and Night Thrust, two guards in the royal guard, finished their shift of patrolling the town and headed to Sugarcube Corner for a treat, Normal looked to Night. "So Night, did you hear we are given the order to attack the human fort?" "Humans? That's what their called. Nice to know." "Really? I just told you we are going to attack, maybe even die, and all you can say it's good to know they are called humans?!" "Yup." "..... Well, we are to get up at dawn, and be ready to attack at noon." "That's it?" "Well, yeah...." "Dang, make it more interesting next time." They laughed as they walked in. Kyle's PoV Midnight New Jamestown I yawned as I opened my eyes. Damn, that soup was salty. I needed a drink. I picked up my sword and shield and walked to the pond outside. I waved to the two boys guarding as I walked out. About 15 seconds later, I arrived at the pond. Ben told me it was the bath pond as well, but I knew he was kidding. 30 minutes ago Chuck's PoV "Hum de dum dum, scrub a-dub-dub, in the pond...." Present Kyle's PoV I bent down to get a drink, I cupped my hands, filled them with water, and drank. My god, this water was good! Before I could get more, I looked down and saw a bunny. I smiled. "Hey there little buddy, wanted some water?" I filled my hands with water, and the damn thing bit me! Why the hell did it bite me! Before I could scold it..... "Angel!" I heard a quite voice come out of the bushes. I turned, and saw a yellow pony with a pink mane stare at me. Before she could say anything, I picked up my sword and pointed it at her. "Your coming with me...." Twilight's PoV 11:55 P.M. "Thanks agian for having me over Twilight.... I was just so scared being in the Everfree with those beasts near me...." "Anytime Fluttershy, I would be scared too! Would you like anything to drink?" "Umm... Some tea... If you don't mind...." "Not at all, coming right up!" As Twilight trotted into her kitchen, Fluttershy looked down at Angel. "Oh dear, I hope the other animals are alright.... What do you think angel..?" Angel puffed. Fluttershy looked forward. "I'm just worried that those beasts will take them and... Who knows what they would do to them. What if they-..." As Fluttershy began to ramble on and on, Angel looked toward the door, and began to hope to it. Angel then looked back, and started hoping toward the Everfree. "-And after they chop their legs off, then they mi-" Fluttershy stopped ranting and looked to see Angel no longer by her side. "Angel?!?! Where did you go?!" Fluttershy trotted over to the window, only to see Angel heading towards the Everfree Forest. "ANGEL!!!!" Fluttershy galloped out the door and also headed toward the Everfree Forest. Meanwhile, Twilight walked out with tea, only to see Fluttershy gone. "Huh, guess she got brave enough to head home. Good for her!" said Twilight as she served herself some tea and drank it. Present Kyle's PoV "Eep!" "I said... Your coming with me..." The pony looked at the bunny and tears formed into her eyes. "Please don't kill angel...." "Come with me, and the bunny won't die...." The pony started to cry and trotted over. "If you do anything funny.... I will slit your throat...." 'Damn!' I thought to myself, 'I feel like a bad-ass! More bad-ass then when I used a pen on my math homework!' When I got back to the fort, the two guards saw the pony and was about to attack her when I told them to stop. I walked in with the pony and shook Ben awake. "Kyle? What are you doi- Is that a pony?! In our base?! Is she a spy?!?!" Ben yelled out. The pony let out another 'Eep!' By this time, the whole town was awake and coming out. The pony gained the nerve to speak. "W-w-w-w-w-w- are you beasts....." Ben spoke up. "Humans wanting to go home..."
