Yellowstone: Bonus Chapter

Yellowstone
After the Credits Scene:
Out from the Darkness
President Joseph walked into the conference room of the white house. He had called for an emergency meeting between him, his top agents, and Celestia herself. This was all her fault after all.
Agent Dimitri snapped a salute, “Sir!”
“At ease Dimitri” said the president, returning the salute. “Who’s here?”
Dimitri looked at his watch, “So far? Agents Hawk and Zorro have arrived, albeit two hours behind schedule.”
President Joseph nodded his head. “Where’s the horse?”
“On her vay sir.”
Joseph sighed, “Alright, bring in those two.”
Dimitri gave a crisp salute and moved to the double doors, opening them and giving a wave. Hawk and Zorro entered the conference room with a confident swagger.
“Yo Joe,” said Hawk, “What’s going on?”
President Joseph had long ago learned to ignore Hawk’s informal view of things, and motioned for the two to sit down. Joseph was impressed they stopped the assassination attempt by Cottonmouth before it even started, and destroyed the corrupt potion to boot. They were the top two agents for a reason after all, but Joseph feared their next assignment would not go so well.
Joseph picked up a remote from the table. With one button he revealed a large television, and with another he turned it on. On it glowed a satellite map of a storm cell from about a week ago. Hawk and Zorro recognized the coordinates immediately.
“Mr. President?” asked Zorro, slightly concerned.
“Dimitri. Is the Princess here yet?” asked the president.
Dimitri again checked his watch, “Yes sir. She has just arrived.” Without missing a beat, Dimitri opened the double doors again, this time revealing the divine form of Celestia.
Her face beamed when she saw Hawk and Zorro, “Well this is a pleasant surprise, meeting again so soon!” Hawk and Zorro waved at her as she moved to an open space at the table and sat down on her haunches. “Now Mr. President,” said Celestia in her calm tone, “Why have you summoned us here?”
Joseph turned around, his expression grave. “Magic has been leaking out of Equestria Princess, and it is causing a great many problems.”
Celestia gave him a stern look, “What do you mean?”
The president continued, “This is the tornado that derailed the Magna Rail during Agent Hawk’s recent escort mission. It appeared almost without warning, and was able to travel at remarkable speeds. Speeds fast enough to catch the Magna Rail in full reverse.” Joseph clicked another button, and a new scene appeared on the screen, this time with a wider view. It showed two very similar dark clouds, one where the Magna Rail was picked up, and the other near the town of Ten Sleep.
“Meanwhile, nearly a thousand miles away, an identical tornado was raging across Wyoming. Look closely at the center of these two storms.” He clicked another button, and magnified the center of both tornadoes. In the center of both of them was half of the Magna Rail.
Hawk rubbed his forehead in disbelief, and Zorro looked confused. Celestia was starting to put some pieces together inside of her head, but she didn’t want to admit anything yet. She had to be sure first.
“You see Princess,” Joseph went on, “That tornado was a vortex, that transported the team more than one thousand miles away in under one minute. I can assure you, this is not a natural occurring phenomenon of the Midwest. Hawk, Zorro, and your student Twilight Sparkle, all traveled through a worm hole. I believe the source of this event stems from this...” He clicked another slide into existence, this time it was a picture of Equestria, but through a lens filter that showed the magical bubble that surrounded it. There seemed to be a gash in its side, and an alarming amount magic seemed to be flowing out of it.
Celestia’s eyes widened. “How did this happen? I didn’t feel the enchantment break! I would have felt a tremor if something this huge had happened to the barrier!”
Hawk raised his hand, “Can we go back through old satellite photos and apply the magic filter? Maybe find out when this thing tore open?”
Joseph replied, clicking the next slide, “We can, and have.” The date was the same day as the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Celestia’s expression turned into one of horror as she counted the years.
“That’s the day my sister came back from her banishment. The day Twilight used the Elements of Harmony to save her…”
Joseph nodded, having been briefed on the whole ordeal with the Mare of Darkness, “It is our belief, Princess, that in the time between Nightmare Moon’s release and subsequent defeat, your protective shield was damaged. The probable cause is that you were not there to rebuff its potency, which is what you do every year on the day of your Summer Sun Celebration, if I am not mistaken. It is because you missed that year that this crack formed.” He paused letting it all sink in for those assembled.
“We also believe, that if not for this breach, you ponies would not have needed to leave Equestria. It is probable that this opening flows two ways. The inherent magic of your homeland flows out, while the pollution of our cities flowed in, thus causing you to take action, and leaving us the position we are in today.”
Zorro raised his hand, “Other than tornadoes that can cut down on travel time, what possible consequences could come from this?”
Joseph took a deep breath, and presented Hawk and Zorro with folders. “In the town of Sleepy Hollow, a scarce one hundred and twenty three miles outside of New York City limits, there are stories of a ‘Headless Horseman’ who rides at night, and is said to kill all he finds on his nightly ride, and take their heads to replace his own.”
Hawk looked up, “Sir, with all due respect, that was a myth, and that town doesn’t even exist.”
“Three counts of murder say different Agent Hawk.” Joseph clicked a new slide, it showed a small town and surrounding farmland. The magic filter revealed that the place glowed rich with the magical essence of Equestria. “The town of Sleepy Hollow manifested approximately seven days ago, and with it, so did the horseman. The victims include a ponified married couple who thought it was a tourist attraction, and a lost hiker who was looking for a place to sleep. Their heads could not be located.”
Celestia looked at the president in disbelief, “Are you saying that the magic that is leaking out of my homeland is summoning monsters from story books?”
President Joseph sighed, “Yes, and unfortunately, no.” He clicked to the next slide, “There is evidence to suggest magical infusion of the landscape has been going on for years. Things became more frequent when you ponies arrived on our shores, but at the time we didn’t have the resources to see what was going on.”
“Egypt, Giza. There have been numerous reports of chanting coming from underneath the pyramids. All personnel sent to investigate have not returned. Currently the police have sealed off the entrances and exits, but the chanting persists.” The filter revealed more magic surrounding the pyramid.
He clicked to another slide, “Athens, Greece. Two weeks ago. The winner of the ‘Miss Athens’ Beauty Pageant started speaking in verse with a voice not her own and predicted every event of your little trip.” He pointed to Hawk, who began to look very closely at the files in his folder.
“And this,” Joseph clicked to a new slide showing Yellowstone National Park, the filter revealing that the area was saturated with magic. Hawk grew tense. “This is an area you should be familiar with. The day after you left, Six Tribes officials sent me reports of seeing strange creatures in the forest, darting between trees. An account from a small boy in the area said that they were a tribe of sasquatch. If not for everything else, I would have dismissed it.”
“So what do we do?” asked Hawk, sounding concerned.
Celestia cleared her throat. “Well first, the hole in the barrier must be sealed, so no more magic will escape from Equestria and conjure anymore of these nightmares.” She gave a small chuckle, and in an apologetic tone said “It seems we were polluting your world as much as you, ours.”
The President gave her a forgiving look, “Don’t worry about the past Princess. Just get that breach resealed. That will give us a finite amount of problems to deal with.” Celestia nodded, her eyes thanking the president for his forgiveness.
“So where do we come in Joe?” asked Hawk.
Zorro finished reading the folder in front of him, “I can guess amigo.”
President Joseph put his hands behind his back. “The infusion of magic back into our world has caused curses and creatures from the ancient days of myth and legend to resurface. You two are to spearhead the elimination of all hostile paranormal entities, and protect the innocent. I’m giving you whatever support you need for this. And Princess,” Celestia gave him a determined look, “we will need the aid of magic in the defense of the innocent humans and ponies that exist outside of Equestria.”
Celestia stood up, “You have my full cooperation Joseph.”
Zorro stood, “And you have my sword!”
Hawk followed suit, “And my guns!”
Dimitri chimed in, “And my axe!”
The members of the board room looked at Dimitri with queer expressions.
“Vhat? I specialize in close quarters combat vith axes and shotguns.”
Joseph just shook his head, “Then let’s not waste any time. Hawk, Zorro…” he gave Dimitri a look, “…Dimitri. Your first assignment is to deal with the event at Sleepy Hollow. Your helicopter transport leaves in an hour.”
All three agents snapped a salute and rushed off down the hallway, Hawk calling dibs on shotgun. Celestia gave a resolute nod to the President and practically galloped out of a nearby window.
Joseph sighed and looked out into the night sky. “Things are getting exciting again, aren’t they?”
To be continued?
Why would I want to do that?
Why would I want to write an episodic series of gothic monster fighting adventures
Involving a cowboy, Zorro, and a Russian guy who uses axes and shotguns
That may have more wackey hijinks with Twilight Sparkle?
That just sounds silly.

The Baykok definitely sounds like something I can use.

Ummm...Sure I guess. Is it a cameo or something more...fanfic of a fanfic of a fanfic of a fanfic? And if you're doing a full on TCB fic I would definitely post the first draft of it in the Conversion Bureau thread on Ponychan before posting it here. That way it can get some review and any errors that could be present will be found and corrected.
Here's a link to the current thread: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/fic/res/53616.html
Word of warning, Ponychan's /fic/ is like a workshop, so be prepared for people telling you how to fix things and actually act on those suggestions. If there's one thing I've found out through writing Yellowstone, it's that there are always more errors and ways to improve.
That and you can read the other REAMS of good TCB fanfiction from a dozen or so other (far more talented) authors.

If I knew, I would tell you. Best answer I can come up with though? Collateral damage might have hurt one of the ponies and that's no good.
Russian with an axe.
Honestly, I would read a story that had that title. (Actually, considering that I've read Crime and Punishment, I very well may have...
) In any case, if you do turn this story into a series, I will definitely not be complaining.

Yeah it's her alright, but based entirely off the Rescue from Castle Midnight version.

Oh that's not a good sign.

At the time of that chapter the Sonic Rainboom episode wasn't out so I thought the train would be faster than RD, but I recently decided to change because that pony is pretty fast. Though now I actually have an explanation in my head that makes way more sense and keeps the train faster than the pony.

That's like the third time someone has commented on that. Seems I better edit it so it makes more sense then.
ZOMG I just found this deep in the reaches of FIMfiction. IT. IS. AWESOME!
Best.Fanfic.Ever :D
Wow, this is just AWESOME!!! Western gun fights AND ponies?? It doesnt get any better, though if the magna rail was a steam locomotive it might have added a little more 'BOOM' to the story haha
I loved this story. Had to read it all in one go it was so good. I haven't checked your profile yet, but I'm really hoping there's a continuation there. Excellent characterization, awesome action and best of all, you portrayed humans as...well human. Our full range from altruistic to savage to the true monsters. Excellent job! Have a Twilight!

Good eye. That is indeed G1 Megan from the pilot episode, Rescue from Castle Midnight. Except she's like...35 years old and 145% more violent.

I'm flattered, but don't think I'm at the point where I should be earning anyone's loyalty just yet. Once I can get some timely and consistent updates out there, maybe then, but given my history that is unlikely.
452104 Hey! EQD mentioned this as one of the more notable versions! Good enough for me!
Jesus Howard Christ, I LOVE THIS STORY!
Better!
I see what you're doing here with The Lord of the Rings reference!
