So the three groups of two went on their way to find Niccolo and neutralize him.

"So, AJ, why do you think this man, Niccolo, wants to kill the governor?" Rainbow asked.
"Well," Apple-Jack replied," he probably wants a grab at the power the gov'ner has and is hoping to got that same power if the gov'ner is dealt with. Then he'll be free to take the power fer himself. Or maybe the gov'ner is interferin' with the Templar's plans. There are any number of reasons."
"Well, I can't wait until we find him," Rainbow replied,cracking her knukles. "Because when I get to him...he'll wish he was never born."
"Yeah, sure. Well, we best be crackin' down to business now. This manor is so huge, he could be anywhere!"
"Alright. Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get him!'
"Woah. Hold yer horses, RD. We gotta go 'bout this in a stealthy manner. We can't just run 'round makin' a scene! The guards will attack us and give Niccolo time to run away and we may not git 'im."
"Well, if he does run, the other four can get him!"
"What if they ain't in the right place at the right time? What if the guards find the other four? Any number of things could prohibit them from nabbin' 'im 'fore Niccolo gits out of here."
"Well, I guess you're right. Fine... But...", Rainbow said with a smile,"I bet you i can make it to the mansion from across this field first!"
"Oh, yer on!"
-=l=-
"So, where are we going, where, where? I wanna go in the building- OOH! What's that?!"
"Pinkie. Don't you think we should quiet down?"Fluttershy replied."We are supposed to be quiet so the guards don't get suspicious."
"How do you be quiet?"
"Just don't say anything, or when you do, whisper. We need to get close to the mansion. First we need to cross this huge olive field. Maybe, do you think, we could climb the trees and jump from them. I believe there are guards in here. I thought I heard something nearby."
"Oh...ok."
So the duo climbed their way into the trees and snuck past the guards in an attempt to reach the manor. Despite how far they had already come, they still had quite a way to go before they reached the manor.
"So, where do we go now, Flutters?"
"Oh. I don't know, Pinkie. I guess just sneak our way to the manor. We may run into the others."
"Well, what are we waiting for, silly?! Let's go!"
-=l=-
"So, where are we going?" Rarity asked.
"Well, it appears we are in a harder spot. We had best hide. I already see guards. But where do we-"
"Shhh. Over there! There is a cart taking corn from one of the fields. Maybe we can hide in it. It even looks as though it's headed to that warehouse which is close the manor. Shall we?"
"Great idea! Let's go!"
The two snuck over and hid in the cart. Not too long after that, the cart came to a stop. The pair waited a few minutes before seeing if it was clear. Twilight poked her head out of the cart. They were indeed in the warehouse. However, there were guards inside as well. They didn't count on. That
To make matters worse, a guard wielding a pitchfork came to inspect the cart. Twilight hid again when the footsteps got close she grabbed the guard, stabbed his neck, and pulled him in the cart so quickly, it appeared to be one single motion. Just then, a voice said,"Nicolas. Find anything? Nicolas? Where did he go?" Another voice replied,"Calm down,Fransisco. Nicolas has always been the one to pull little jokes on the job. I kind of like it. It makes this boring a little bit job fun. He'll show up soon enough."
"Get out and hide under the cart fast,"Twilight said.
The two jumped out and hid under the cart. With a tight squeeze.
"Eww. Do these ruffians ever clean up? My cloak is going to get stained!"
"Shhh. Don't talk. Plus, no one ever said this would be a CLEAN job. Now pipe down. On the count of three, we will sprint out and hide in or behind those barrels. Be swift. Make as little noise as possible. Ready? One...Two...Three."
-=l=-
"Hey, AJ?" Rainbow asked," Where do we go now?"
"Perhaps we might be able to hide in that there shed. But be sneaky. I see a few guards."
"So? We can quickly take 'em down!" Rainbow replied, flashing her hidden-blade.
" Now wait just a cott'n-pickin' minute! Lives are precious things, even if they are the enemy. We only kill people if it jepr'dizes the mission, if they attack us first, or if it's our mission. Got it?"
"...Fine... I'll race you to the shed!"
"Bring it!"
-=l=-
"Where do we hide next, Flutters?"
"Ummm...let's see...there's a small stone building over there. There is smoke rising from the top, though, so be careful and quiet. Got it Pinkie?"
"Uh-huh."
"Good. Now let's move."
