//------------------------------// // Adventure 1: Magic and Skill // Story: Team Friendship 2 // by W9001PILLSHERE //------------------------------// With living arrangements set, some classes decided to explore while others decided to learn through the ponies. As such, Sniper and Twilight headed for the library. Sniper: So who was this Ellis fella' you were askin' about? Twilight: He was another human who came right from... a zombie apocalypse. Sniper: Zombies, eh? That doesn't sound good. Twilight: I still have occasional nightmares about it. Sniper: Why wouldn't you? The end of the world doesn't happen every day. Twilight: (laughs) I suppose not. Sniper: So anyway, this world is made of only horses? Twilight: We're actually ponies. Not horses. Sniper: Never knew there was a difference. Anyway, so, do you have any sort of government? Twilight: We all live under the protection of Princess Celestia and her sister Princess Luna. Sniper: I see. And I couldn't help but notice that some of ya have horns such as yaself and others wings like that rainbow one, and others, neither, like that pink one who seems to be able to do the impossible. Twilight: There are four species of ponies: Earth ponies, unicorns, pegasi and alicorns. Pinkie Pie is an Earth pony, who, even without wings or magic, have a history of hard work going for them. Rainbow Dash is a Pegasus, ponies with wings. Not only that, but she's one of the fastest fliers in Equestria. And I'm a unicorn, which are marked by horns and a vast knowledge. Sniper: Hard to believe a world like this even exists. Twilight: Not for us. Sniper: Whatever. You have any questions for me? Twilight: I couldn't help but notice in your bag- Side note: Each class decided to take some weapons with them, just in case. Twilight: You had several strange looking things. What were those? Sniper: Well, I'm a professional assassin, and those are my tools, know as sniper rifles. Twilight was taken aback at the mention of "professional assassin". Did that means he was a psychotic killer? Twilight: Well, that's interesting. Sniper: My parents think I'm a crazed gunman, but i get paid money to take out specific targets. You know, a mercenary. Twilight: Oh, okay. I was worried there for a minute. Sniper: Never really hurt anyone 'less I need to or they're one of my targets. Twilight: What about those jars? and the shield? Sniper: Well, the liquid in the jar makes my targets more vulnerable to damage, should the need arise to get up close and personal during a fight. The shield... You remember the masked guy? Twilight: Yeah, what about him? Sniper: Well, there are people like him, only they're blue and not my friends. They carry deadly knives, which, with a stab in the correct spot in the back, is an instant kill. This shield protects me from a single stab, but also alerts me with a loud tone whenever it gets destroyed, followed by a dead Blu spoi. Twilight: Fascinating. Sniper: I'm also quite handy with a bow and arrow. Twilight: I see... Look at that. This is my library. Sniper looked up and saw the library in it's full splendor. Sniper: And I thought livin' in a van was startin' to seem ridiculous. Twilight: You'll have to meet my assistant, Spike. He's a dragon- Sniper: Whoa, whoa, whoa! A dragon!? Twilight: It's okay. He's just a baby, he can't hurt anyone. Sniper: Alright, then. I trust ya, if that's what you say... Spike: Hey Twi, what was that light- Spike suddenly dropped his tray and saw Sniper looking right at him. Spike: Another human? Twilight: That's right. And there are nine others in town. Spike couldn't even begin to comprehend, so he decided fainting was an easier way out.
