//------------------------------// // The Crystal Lovelies Part Two // Story: Pony Grumps // by The watchful pony //------------------------------// The crystal lovelies part two Arin grump, Twilight, and shining armor just stood there as the cloud of darkness got closer and closer to the empire. Shining helped Cadence get back up and she gave him a smile before turning to the darkness and bringing the barrier back up and slicing the tip of Sombras horn off. "That may be the largest circumcision I have ever seen.", said Arin. "There is no telling how long cadence can hold out. We have to find the crystal heart before it's to late.", said Twilight with determination. "I'll come with you.", said Shining armor. "No, you need to stay here with Cadence. She needs your support now more then ever." "Just Rub her head and say she's pretty, that usually works for Jon when he's feeling down." "Come on Arin.", said Twilight as she motioned him to follow. The two of them started to run down the hall and saw Jon on the right side with a ton of valuables things all over his body and walking in the same direction they were running. As they passed him Jon saw them and yelled out- "Are we saving the meth empire again." "Yeah we are.", yelled Arin back to Jon. Jon ran towards them and all the valuables dropped to the ground. "So what's the plan book smart, how are we going to save the day". "I'M going to save the empire, you two need to stay and make sure the ponies never find out about the heart being missing and keep them happy." "Why?", said Arin "Yeah we save the world in games all the time, why can't we do it for real this time?", said Jon "You do know that's not us in the video game, right?" "Haven't you ever seen that one movie where they train someone to fly a spaceship by using an arcade game? I'm sure the same principal applies" "Guys please, I need you two here. The happy spirits of the crystal ponies are the only thing that can power the crystal heart. And when they find out the heart is missing, there spirits are going to be anything but happy. So I need you two to help my friends keep them busy and distracted from Sombra and from finding out about the heart until I can find it. "Alright fine, we'll do our best.", said Arin as they exited the castle. "Let's do this. GRUMPS AWAY!", said Jon as he ran off in one direction. Arin followed him towards the festival until Jon got winded and stopped. "So what's your plane Jon." "I... don't... have one. I figured if I keep running I would run into something." both Jon and Arin looked around. "Well since there doesn't appear to be anything here I think it's time we think of something." "Your right, now howe can we distract these meth ponies and keep them happy." The two of them touched the bottom of there chines as they both appeared to enter deep taught. Jon Gasped and said "I got it, we destroy this place. Now hear me out. If we destroy this place then there will be nothing for that puff of smoke to destroy, then he'll get board and leave." Arin looked at Jon for a good five seconds before saying "Jon, that may be the single most stupid plan you have ever come up with... let's do it." Both Jon and Arin went up to a stand with nobody around it and ripped off the top and wrapped them around fence postings. Arin took the makeshift torch and was about to light it with one of the lamps before Twilight ran by and yelled out "We're trying to save this place not destroy it." The grumps shrugged and tossed the torches away. "Looks like we need a plane B, and luckily I have one. We are gonna use our natural talents of making complete asses of ourselves and play a game in front of all these meth ponies. If they are to busy laughing at us they will never notice the cloud of doom.", said Jon. "That may be our best option but we don't have our games or any other equipment to do a live show." "Well there has to be a way to make a live show?" But then, all of a sudden an arrow landed in front of them with a bag full of a game, a system, a projector, and a magic generator. "That will work, got a love that malevolent blessing. Let's get unpacking." The grumps set out to set up for a live show. They put the projector up so it would project against a flat wall to a house. They managed to set everything up as well as getting a little bit of a audience going. "Alright, let's do this, what game are we gonna play.", said Arin as jon was digging trough the bag looking for the game. However, when Jon came out of the bag, he had a pale face on him and said "Oooooh noooooo" as he slowly turned the game around to reveal it was a copy of final fantasy 13. "Oh god hallway simulator, dame you malevolent force!", yelled Arin causing the audience to laugh a little. "There's no way we can make this game funny." "Yeah seriously, even sonic 06 was so much of a train wreck it was funny but this is just boring." "We have to try, we need to muster all the grump power in us and make this game funny. If these meth ponies are not happy then we have failed this place and our profession." Jon looked at Arin with a glimmer in his eye and said "Your right Arin, let's do this.", said john as he used his magic to put the disk in. "Welcome to game grumps where we try to play games except when they play us which is all the time." Both the Grumps did there hardest to make this game funny and for the longest time it seemed they where succeeding. They did there hardest to make hallway simulator funny but eventually the game started to break them. They where getting tired and the jokes stopped making the crowed laugh. Finially Jon collapsed on Arin. "Come on Jon, we have to keep playing to keep them happy." "I can't play anymore. There's no more crowed and I'm game grumped out.... Hey is it darker is it just me.", said Jon as both of them looked into the sky to see the shield disappear and the cloud approaching the city. "Something tells me the pretty pink princess is as grumped out as me... So shall we run for out lives?" "That sounds delightful.", said Arin as the two of them ran off screaming in the same direction as the rest of the ponies. Until tehy reached the center of the city has had nowhere else to run. The two of them hugged each other and starred at the cloud as the face in it got closer. "I think this is the end buddy, that being said your still not getting back that game I borrowed from you." Arin gave Jon the biggest really bitch face he could muster. Then Cadence flew in and landed next to where the fake heart was and crushed it. She placed the heart in the center and the heart started to rotate and a bright light started to emit from it. "Oh I think this is the part where the evil get expelled." Then the heart blasted the light outwards and blew up the evil unicorn. "Well they just murdered a man. At least he can tell everyone in hell he blew up." _____________________________________________________________________________________________ The grumps where in front of the entrance to Canterlot with the rest of the mane six, waiting for Twilight to come out. "So while we tried to make the ponies happy that purple unicorn managed to find the heart?", asked Arin. "Well it clearly wasn't that evil unicorns heart.", said Jon. "Oh yeah, That would be hilarious if Twilight got together with that evil unicorn.", said Arin. "Yeah they could make it work." "I honestly have no idea what you two are talking about half the time.", said Rainbow Dash. Then Twilight opened the door and proclaimed "I PASSED." Jon blew up a party popper along with pinkie next to Twilight. "Congratulations!" yelled Jon. Rarity went up to Twilight and started to sing. "I guess these ponies really love to sing.", said Arin as him and Jon stayed back away from them singing. "Maybe they live in a world that runs on sound of music logic where song numbers can come at any time of day." "You know what that is a very distinct possibility, I hope we never have to be a part of one." "Well maybe you don't.... hay is the train leaving without us." "... SON OF A BITCH! Hay wait for us!" yelled Arin as him a Jon tried to chase after the friendship express. The two of them ran into the sunset chasing after the train yelling curse words all the way.
