What a way to begin the new year with a brand new crossover project for the Cinematic Adventures. And we start the new year with Shrek, you know the name and you’ve seen his face on various merchandising. Our friends will most certainly have a wacky adventure when they eventually meet.

But what’s this? One of the Mane Six’s fiercest enemies has gotten himself an army? An army that failed miserably against the ponies and Spike but still… it’s so funny the way the soldiers are taken down.

IT'S SHREK. OUR OGRE OVERLORD!!! 😱

That's right! The Master of the 420 Blazeits, The Master of the 360 Noscopes,& The Master of the 720 Quickscopes himself, The MLG Ogre Lord: Shrek!

What an amazing start! Looking, forward to how things will go with this adventure.

This, will be a fun way to start the year! :pinkiehappy:

Meanwhile, in Canterlot City

Though it may have been 2 weeks, Postwar had decided to temporarily live in Canterlot City, not just because of wanting to watch over, but because you recently formed a relationship with a young woman, who was none other than Sunset Shimmer. Not just Sunset Shimmer, but her human counterpart. Both of you decided to spend time with one another, even wanted to spend time with her during Christmas Break and the New Year. And so far, your relationship with her was extremely magical. Both of you decided to spend your time at the Cafe whilst having some breakfast that you paid for.

Human Sunset Shimmer: Hey, thanks again for spending some time with me today.

Postwar: Hey, of course I'd be spending time with you. What kind of a boyfriend would I be if i didn't?

The two of you laughed at that statement, with Sunset holding your hand whilst he held onto hers.

Human Sunset Shimmer: I'm really glad that I bumped into you.

Postwar: The feeling's mutual.

The two of you kissed one another whilst still holding hands. Nothing could ruin this moment. That was, until a few devices were heard whilst beeping. The two of them broke the kiss and looked at their phones:

Human Sunset/Postwar: Aw, crud.

Human Sunset Shimmer: That was work. Looks like the work of a therapist is never done.

Postwar: Same with me. They want me at the Galaxy Branch theatre.

*In case you wonder, before the second week was over, Postwar let her know where he worked, and she promised to keep it a secret*.

Human Sunset Shimmer: I'll see you around.

Postwar: Same here.

The two of them shared a brief kiss with Human Sunset running towards her car whilst Postwar quickly teleported to the Theatre.

Discord's Theatre, Galaxy Branch

At the same time, Ben was taking a break from training whilst Sunset Shimmer offered some water, with Galen, Cal and Ashoka by her side. However, among them were also Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo, Chewbacca, 3PO and R2. Within a split second, they were startled to see Postwar coming back.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, hey there, good to see you.

Postwar: Same here. *dusted himself for a bit*, Sorry I didn't make an announcement on coming, but I just got a word from HQ, Princess Twilight and the others are on the move.

Leia Organa: Oh? They're off to another adventure?

Postwar: Oh, hey there, I wasn't expecting to see you again? Where are the others.

Luke Skywalker: They're currently helping oversee the training in the next generation of Jedi.

Postwar: Oh? Did you find any?

Han Solo: Thanks to the New Republic, we were able to bring in over fifty people who are over eighteen. They're busy being trained at Yavin 4 right now.

Postwar: Wait, Yavin? But wouldn't that be dangerous.

??: It would, but they'll be moved to a different location once they do.

He saw another stranger standing next to Luke:

Luke Skywalker: This is Kyle Katarn. He's also a Master like me. he helped me train more students.

Postwar: Good to meet you. *shake's his hand*

Kyle Katarn: Same here. So, this Princess? What's she up to?

Postwar: I think you'll find the answer in there.

Sunset Shimmer: Then let's go. I dont' wanna miss this.

Everyone soons heads off to the theatre, wondering what their next adventure was going to bring.

Sonata Dusk wriggled around a bit and eventually squeezed herself out of the cabinet. Twilight Sparkle noticed she happened to be wearing the 24/7 championship around her waist, as she’d been doing for a week since their return from Gotham.

Wait a minute, when did that happen again?

You’d know if you actually read the comments.

… I’m a very busy guy.

Quick recap:

Upon their return, Sonata Dusk squashes Pharynx, like a bug, after he stole the 24/7 Championship Belt from Smolder. Now Sonata’s the current 24/7 Champion, and has been on every dragons, griffons, and greedy creatures’ radar.

AND WHO ARE THE JERKS THAT ARE GIVING THIS STORY MANY DISLIKES ALREADY!! :flutterrage: :ajbemused: :twilightangry2: :rainbowhuh:

Sonata’s eyes quickly darted toward the cabinet, and she quickly ducked back in hiding, closing the doors. As she sat there, all scrunched up tighter than before, she kept her hooves locked around her title.

“Don’t you worry, sweetie,” Sonata cooed. “Mommy’s not going to let those mean gold-diggers take you away.”

That is…if a certain draconequus has anything to say about it…

Discord: (Tapping his fingers) “Mwahahahaha…”

“Simple, really,” Tirek responded. “All we ask in return is for you all to swear your undying loyalty to the Dark One, an oath which requires you to leave under our rule and surrender the Elements of Harmony.”

The Elements of Harmony stood silent, stone-faced over the offer. The silence was immediately broken soon as Pinkie Pie burst out in hysterical laughter.

“Oh that’s a good one, Tirek!” She laughed. “I always knew somewhere under that muscular physique is a stand-up comedian!

Pinkie kept laughing uncontrollably, rolling onto her back, while the remainder of the Mane Six and Spike stepped up. It was clear they were more than ready to fight.

“You may have your strength back, but you’re still lacking in the brain department,” Spike said defiantly. “If you think we’d actually agree to that, you’re as dumb as mud!”

Random Dude: “I answer to no one, but Princess Twilight!” (Ignites a lightsaber) “Liberte, Fraternite, Egalite!” (Gets electrocuted) “Ooh-la-la!!!” (Faints)

I couldn't agree with you more, Drama. New Year, New Stories,& New Adventures to come this 2023.

The doors to Discord’s theatre burst open as Tirek made his way through the front doors. A team of security raced towards the centaur, all trying their best to stop the tyrant. Unfortunately, Tirek easily overpowered even the most skilled line of defense. While his fallen enemies were licking their wounds, Tirek casually made his way through the theatre. Soon as he got inside, he noticed two cloaked figures standing on stage near the magical television. He quickly assumed his place onto the stage and stood alongside the two cloaked figures.

“I trust our knights are keeping those ingrates at bay?” One figure asked.

“That they are,” Tirek nodded. “They won’t keep them busy too long, but long enough for us to get where we need to be.”

“Then let’s be on our way,” The other figure ordered. “We have two targets to find and much mayhem to spread.”

With a wave of the hand, the figure commanded the large mirror portal to open. The trio quickly made their way through the portal, which immediately closed behind them.

Fuming over the beaten security force is none other than Discord himself, who berates them.

Discord: “WHAT THE HAY WAS THAT?! You call yourselves security? You guys are making me look like an idiot out there! Not even Sunset Shimmer would screw this up! AND SHE’S AN EVEN BIGGER IDIOT THAN ME!”

Guard #1: (Groaning in pain) “I want my mommy!”

Guard #2: (Groaning in pain) “I give up!”

Discord: (To Guard #2) “No! NO! You’re not allowed to give up! I don’t pay you enough to give up!”

Guard #2: (To Discord) “You never paid us…”

Discord: “EXACTLY! Where is that Phantom-Dragon when I need him?”

Pinkie, as much as I like you, you do know where that reference is from and where it belongs, right?

Pinkie: *was smiling nervously with a squee* Noooo.

*my eyes twitch slightly in annoyance* I hope they have rum in that world…

Twilight stepped in between all of her friends as they continued staring toward the portal. It didn’t matter where it was taking them, but they knew they needed to stop Tirek and whichever allies he’s working with. Taking a deep breath, they slowly stepped through the mirror portal one by one. Wherever it was they would end up, it was sure to be one hay of an adventure for sure.

After the heroes left…

Discord: “DR. PHD! You’re never around when I need you!!!”

Me: (From inside a barrel of wine) “Coming…coming…” (Laughing) “For he’s a jolly good fellow, for he’s a jolly good fellow, for he’s a jolly good fellow….”

Discord pops open the lid and I came out…drunk.

Me: (To Discord) “Oh. There you are, boss man! You’ll never believe this…but Tirek totally wiped out our entire force!”

Discord: (Sarcastically) “Tirek, you say?”

I nodded…and then I got strangled…

Discord: “ARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!” (Used his magic to make me into silly putty and ties me up into a ribbon) “Get out of THAT if you can!”

Somebody once told me the world was macaroni

“Now, ogres, oh they’re much worse,” Shrek continued. “They’ll make a suit from your freshly peeled kin. They’ll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes!”

“Now, ogres, oh they’re much worse,” Shrek continued. “They’ll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin. They’ll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes!”

Clear was the blue sky; bright was the sun hanging over the land. Another beautiful day began in the tiny town of Ponyville. Birds twittered as they flew through the air over the roofs of the tiny homes, all the while the denizens went about their days. Little foals raced around the streets, laughing and playing together while the adults tended to their everyday business. Today was most certainly a very peaceful and most wondrous day.

Along the outskirts of Ponyville stood the castle of Princess Twilight Sparkle. The foundation stood high and mighty as the center of power in town. Inside, the little lavender colored alicorn was in her office working on a mountain of paperwork. One of the few disadvantages of being a princess, especially one who would eventually replace Celestia and Luna as ruler of all Equestria. But alas, the amount of paperwork she had to do was merely a fraction of the daily basis for a young alicorn. A task that involved exploring the concerns of the ponies, what taxes should be legalized or if a new trade agreement was deemed necessary. All of which required her immediate attention.

Twilight Sparkle held her quill with her magic, using it to note some quick response to a seemingly endless line of paperwork. She sighed out of both boredom and exhaustion, but she continued with her work as it was the one thing keeping her busy during this peaceful time. A sudden knock at the door coaxed the alicorn to look up and before her eyes stood her most faithful assistant and good friend, Spike.

*Entering with Spike was me, after having taken care of a secret situation at Discord's Theater*

Me: Afternoon, Twilight.

“Hey Spike, Hunter!” Twilight greeted with a smile. “What’s going on?”

“I was just wondering if you’d like to take a little lunch break,” Spike suggested. “You’ve been cooped up here since we got back from Gotham last week. Figured you’d need to get out for a while.”

Me: I know I would, even though I'm not royalty.

“It’s a bit difficult when there’s so much work to do,” Twilight responded. “Being princess isn’t exactly easy; it really doesn’t allow much relaxation time.”

“Oh come on Twilight, even Princess Celestia takes time off for herself every now and then. What’s another few more minutes going to do?”

Me: He's right Twilight. Celestia would even ask you the same thing.

Twilight Sparkle sighed to herself, looking back and forth between her number one assistant and the endless stacks of paperwork before her. She had been at it for days already and it seemed as though she barely even made a slight dent in it. Being that were the case, the question again repeated in her head: What was a few more minutes going to do? She placed the quill back in its inkwell and stepped out from behind her desk.

“Now that you mention it, lunch does sound great,” Twilight smiled.

Me: That's what I like to hear.

Well then, follow me to the kitchen,” Spike responded. “Sonata’s already down there getting everything ready. You know Twi, it still amazes me you gave her a job in the castle’s kitchen. I know she’s trying to redeem herself, but don’t you think you’re putting a little too much trust in her?”

“Not at all,” Twilight responded certainly. “I know it seems like a huge leap of faith after everything she and her family have done in the past. However, if it weren’t for Sonata, there’s a good possibility we might have gotten killed back in Gotham. That Siren is willing to risk her own life to save us all; we at least owe her a chance.”

“I guess you’re right,” Spike nodded. “Old habits I guess.”

Twilight: And I'm glad you helped her adjust to her new life, Hunter.

Me: It's what I do, Princess. As Jesus said, love your neighbor as you love yourself.

Twilight: *curious by that name*

The two continued their trek through the halls of the castle towards the kitchen, while continuing their conversation. Since they’ve gotten back from Gotham City, things were a bit dodgy at first starting with returning with Sonata Dusk, formerly of the Dazzlings. However, despite some general concerns expressed by the ponies and nearly every species in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle was quickly able to smooth things over with every pony. In return, the denizens were willing to give Sonata a chance to prove herself. True to her word, Twilight made the arrangements to secure a place in town for Sonata to stay and even offered her a job in the castle kitchen. To say Sonata was extremely grateful would have been an understatement.

Eventually, the two arrived at the kitchen and Spike threw the giant doors open for entry. Before them was a magnificent table already set up, with all the cutlery and plates set neatly.

“Wow, this looks amazing!” Twilight smiled. “Did Sonata actually put this all together? By herself?”

“It sure caught me by surprise,” Spike nodded.

Me: I can tell that she's passionate.

Twilight Sparkle looked around the kitchen only to notice something, or rather someone, was missing.

“Spike, where is Sonata?” She asked.

“I’m not sure,” Spike shrugged. “She was here only a few minutes ago.”

Me: Maybe she's forgot something.

“ACHOO!!!”

The sound of a loud sneeze made both pony princess and dragon turn toward the cupboards just near the stove. Twilight Sparkle slowly approached before flinging the door open with her magic. Sure enough, all scrunched up inside the cabinet, was none other than Sonata Dusk herself.

“Sonata? What are you doing in there?” She asked confused.

“Hiding…” Sonata whispered.

“After a sneeze like that, I’m sure whispering isn’t going to help much,” Spike commented.

Me: Hiding from what?

Sonata Dusk wriggled around a bit and eventually squeezed herself out of the cabinet. Twilight Sparkle noticed she happened to be wearing the 24/7 championship around her waist, as she’d been doing for a week since their return from Gotham.

Wait a minute, when did that happen again?

You’d know if you actually read the comments.

… I’m a very busy guy.

Anyway… Sonata quickly ducked herself behind the countertop, her eyes darting back and forth.

“Sonata, I think you can come out of hiding,” Twilight assured her.

“I don’t know if I can Twilight,” Sonata spoke fearfully. “Ever since getting this belt, I’ve been chased non-stop.”

“I know that feeling,” Spike mumbled.

“Granted, I do like this belt. It surprisingly matches my coat. But having to defend that belt against that mob nonstop, it gets a little tiring after a while.”

“Well, you needn’t worry about that here,” Twilight assured. “The castle’s a safe haven for all our guests.”

“Are you sure?” Sonata asked uncertain.

“I’m positive.”

Me: And if they try to touch you, they'll answer to me. *winks*

Eventually, after pondering the response, Sonata emerged from her hiding spot.

“Now, how about that lunch?” Twilight suggested.

Twilight and Spike just made their way back toward the table, as Sonata dusted herself from hiding. But just as they settled down, the door to the kitchen burst open and the remainder of the Mane Six arrived.

“Twilight, we’ve got a problem!” Rainbow said urgently.

Twilight and Spike groaned in unison, especially over the fact their lunch was ruined… again.

“Can never have a good lunch these days,” Spike grumbled.

“At ease Spike,” Twilight replied, facing the girls. “What’s the problem?”

“We’ve got a visit in town wanting to meet ya?” Applejack responded.

“What’s wrong about that?” Twilight asked confused. “Probably one of the diplomats from the neighboring kingdoms; although, we probably would’ve gotten a notice if an important guest was coming.”

“That’s the thing,” Rainbow responded. “You need to come and see for yourself.”

Twilight looked amongst her friends, and she could clearly see the distress upon their faces. Clearly, whatever they were talking about, it was obviously urgent. With a regretful sigh, she turned back toward Spike and Sonata.

“Sorry guys, looks like we have to reschedule lunch,” She told them. “Come on, every pony!”

Me: We'll be back Sonata! *runs off*

Soon, Twilight and Spike took off with her friends following behind. They raced out the door towards whatever was waiting to meet them. All… except for Sonata Dusk, who stood and waved goodbye to the departing heroes.

“You guys go on ahead!” Sonata called out. “I’ll just stay back here and… hold the fort! Yeah…”

Sonata’s eyes quickly darted toward the cabinet, and she quickly ducked back in hiding, closing the doors. As she sat there, all scrunched up tighter than before, she kept her hooves locked around her title.

“Don’t you worry, sweetie,” Sonata cooed. “Mommy’s not going to let those mean gold-diggers take you away.”

The Mane Six and Spike raced across town toward a large gathering of ponies in the midst of the town square. They all looked rather unsettled and nervous, the fear clearly visible upon their faces. Soon as the gathered ponies took notice of the Elements of Harmony approaching, they quickly parted to allow them through.

“Don’t worry, every pony!” Twilight called out. “Whatever’s going on, the Guardians of Harmony are here to help!”

“Now then… show us that horizon!” Pinkie quoted.

The stunned crowd stood silently, occasionally blinking every second, before all hooves pointed ahead. The group eventually made their way to the front and skid to a screeching halt. Once they saw what laid before them, all eyes widened with shock. Standing before them was nothing less than an entire army; an army made up of humans dressed in either dark leather-like armor or red-and-gold metallic armor.

And standing in front of this army was none other than Lord Tirek himself. The giant magic-stealing centaur with the wickedest smirk on his face, staring daggers at the Mane Six and Spike. Once their eyes landed on Tirek, the heroes instantly assumed their defensive stance.

Me: Ooooooooh boy.....

“Tirek!” Twilight exclaimed loudly. “I figured it was a matter of time before we saw your face again. Whatever intentions you have today, you’re going to have to get through us first.”

To which Tirek merely held his giant red hands in defense.

“Take it easy there princess,” He spoke with fake innocence. “Despite what you may think, I didn’t come to fight today… though it flatters me how anxious you are for action. Unfortunately, I’m only here… in peace.”

Me: In peace? Really?

“With an army at your back?” Rainbow questioned skeptically. “I’d sooner believe the Storm King will return.”

“Hmm… ‘Return of the Storm King’ huh?” Tirek smirk mischievously. “Thank you Rainbow Dash, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind for future reference.”

“What do ya want, Tirek?” Applejack asked.

“I come bearing a message from the Dark Order,” Tirek explained. “We’re willing to leave your wasteful little town and all its diminutive denizens in peace.”

“You really expect us to believe that?” Rarity asked. “What exactly is it you hope to gain in return?”

“Simple, really,” Tirek responded. “All we ask in return is for you all to swear your undying loyalty to the Dark One, an oath which requires you to leave under our rule and surrender the Elements of Harmony.”

The Elements of Harmony stood silent, stone-faced over the offer. The silence was immediately broken soon as Pinkie Pie burst out in hysterical laughter.

“Oh that’s a good one, Tirek!” She laughed. “I always knew somewhere under that muscular physique is a stand-up comedian!

Pinkie kept laughing uncontrollably, rolling onto her back, while the remainder of the Mane Six and Spike stepped up. It was clear they were more than ready to fight.

“You may have your strength back, but you’re still lacking in the brain department,” Spike said defiantly. “If you think we’d actually agree to that, you’re as dumb as mud!”

Me: Buuuurn~

Tirek merely glowered at the teenage dragon before quickly turning to the rest of the group with a smirk.

“Don’t worry your little dragon head, gecko,” Tirek responded. “I never expected you to take the deal anyway. I merely needed to keep you… distracted.”

Me: Distracted?...

This caused the Mane Six and Spike to stop in their tracks, now more confused than ever.

“What is he talking about?” Fluttershy asked worriedly.

“I merely had to make sure our latest allies were able to sneak their way into that little theatre of yours undisturbed,” Tirek grinned. “It’s humorous how its security is as easy as breaking into Canterlot even with your ‘elite’ guards. Now if you’ll excuse me, I really must be off to join them. Tyranny to spread, worlds to conquer, lives to destroy… oh yes, I’ll be booked for the next month. Boys!!!”

Tirek turned over his shoulder to the army standing behind him, every soldier unsheathed their swords and shields.”

“Keep them busy!” He ordered.

On command, the knights charged forward with their weapons drawn. All the other ponies screamed and began running in panic. The Mane Six and Spike quickly assumed the defense, as they charged into battle against the knights. Beams sparkled across the hills, followed by groans and screams with metal and swords flying in the air. Over the midst of hooves contacting bodies and metal scrunched up, Tirek was able to make his way through the screaming denizens towards the Discord’s ‘exposed’ theatre.

Me: *breaths* Alright, let's a go.

<>

*BOOM!!!*

The doors to Discord’s theatre burst open as Tirek made his way through the front doors. A team of security raced towards the centaur, all trying their best to stop the tyrant. Unfortunately, Tirek easily overpowered even the most skilled line of defense. While his fallen enemies were licking their wounds, Tirek casually made his way through the theatre. Soon as he got inside, he noticed two cloaked figures standing on stage near the magical television. He quickly assumed his place onto the stage and stood alongside the two cloaked figures.

“I trust our knights are keeping those ingrates at bay?” One figure asked.

“That they are,” Tirek nodded. “They won’t keep them busy too long, but long enough for us to get where we need to be.”

“Then let’s be on our way,” The other figure ordered. “We have two targets to find and much mayhem to spread.”

With a wave of the hand, the figure commanded the large mirror portal to open. The trio quickly made their way through the portal, which immediately closed behind them.

Meanwhile, the Mane Six and Spike continued their fight against the knights. Tag team action commenced with Rainbow Dash and Applejack deliver a series of hard-hitting bucks and strong-style punches. The combination left the targeted knights either flat out cold or screaming while flailing about in the air. In unison, Rarity and Twilight blasted a majority of the knights about with their magic sending them back while a few others started to run away.

Me: *use my abilities I use as Nightwing against them along with shooting lasers from my horn*

Spike spat flames, roasting a majority of the knights. Thankfully, the armor prevented them from burning to death. But those caught in the blast screamed like children, running back and forth with their pants flaming.

Pinkie threw some cupcakes toward the knights, one of whom caught it and lifted his face opening for a closer look. It was only then he saw a sparkling candle at the top and before any could react… *BOOM!!!* the cupcakes exploded, sending the knights blasting out of their armor… and leaving some spotted underwear floating toward the road.

Fluttershy used her powerful stare to immobilize and terrify the knights into submission. This act sent the remainder of the knights running for the hills or curled up in a fetal position, one of them sucking his thumb like a frightened little boy.

Eventually, our heroes had successfully pacified the majority of the knights, the rest managing to escape the area.

Me: And don't come back!

“It is just me or does this feet feel… familiarly simple?” Rainbow asked.

“I blame the lazy writing,” Pinkie shrugged.

Hey, you think it’s so easy then you do it!

It’s not as easy as it looks, you know.

“There’s no time for that now,” Twilight said urgently. “We must get to Discord’s theatre and stop Tirek!”

Me: You heard the Princess, let's move!

The Mane Six and Spike quickly made their way toward the theatre and burst through the doors. They noticed all the fallen security slowly regaining their stance, attempting to restore order before the frightened patrons caught in the action. One of the security intel pointed in direction, sending our heroes racing into the theater and onto the stage. Twilight quickly began punching coordinates into the machine, to track Tirek toward whichever world he travelled to. Pushing the final button, the portal opened up once more leaving all eyes staring into it.

“I wonder where it’s taking us this time?” Rarity asked curiously.

“No idea, but I hope we finally end up in a place where folks won’t be surprised about our presence for a change,” Rainbow said seriously.

“At least this will be our first ‘Academy Award-Winning’ adventure,” Pinkie grinned happily.

“Say what now?” Spike said confused.

“Never mind, let’s go!” Pinkie responded quickly.

Me: Good luck girls, Spike!

Pinkie: Wait, aren’t you coming?

Me: No, I have to keep an eye on Sonata and make sure no further evil comes in this theater. I’ll watch everything from here.

Twilight stepped in between all of her friends as they continued staring toward the portal. It didn’t matter where it was taking them, but they knew they needed to stop Tirek and whichever allies he’s working with. Taking a deep breath, they slowly stepped through the mirror portal one by one. Wherever it was they would end up, it was sure to be one hay of an adventure for sure.

Me: *seeing where they’re going, I pull out my book of Fairy Tales and send the invites out*

Eventually, our heroes had successfully pacified the majority of the knights, the rest managing to escape the area.

After which, every background and secondary characters came out of hiding…except for Sonata.

Gilda: “Well…now that that’s over, let’s focus on something even more important. Like how do we catch that siren with the golden belt?!”

Gabby: (To Gilda) “Better idea. Maybe we should forget the belt, and go to Discord’s Theater and watch our friends’ latest Cinematic Adventure.”

Gallus: (Ignoring Gabby) “Or bait that siren out with TACOS!”

Awkward silence as everyone stared at the griffon.

Gallus: “Tacos usually works…”

Canterlot Mall Theater, Discord's Branch

Arctic Ace has just arrive towards the Theater as he was coming up to the entrance as he sees Rarity coming to the Theater

Arctic: Hey Rarity! (He called out to fashionista)

Rarity: (she turn around and has a small smile) Why, hello Ace. Lovely, to see you again

Arctic: Nice, to see you aswell. Hope, you and the others had a great holiday (he said as he walks with her)

Rarity: We, most certainly did. (She mentioned) So Darling, did you happen to go and talk to her (she ask with a small grin)

Arctic (would have a small blush) O-Oh I, actually haven’t gotten a chance to talk with Sonata (he admit as he look away)

Rarity: (would be a little upset by this) And, why is that? Surely, you’re not shy or nervous to talking to her?

Arctic: Well, not exactly it’s just she’s a bit.. occupied at the moment with other stuff (he said remembering she has the 24/7 champion belt)

Rarity: Well, when you can you must speak with her (she said giving him a small nudge) After all, she’s seems like the perfect catch for you

Arctic: (would chuckled a bit) Was, that’s supposed to be fish pun

Rarity: Maybe (she said with a small chuckle) Though, I’ll admit it does sound a little cliché

Arctic: Yeah, but it was still a good one. (He said) Though, she was able to become a pony now thanks to the boss. And, she still look cute and adorable even as a pony too (he said looking away slightly blush growing a little )

Rarity: (would notice this as she smiles a little) I have, a good feeling about you Ace. May, the world give you a chance to talk with her and be happy (she said in her thoughts as both her and Ace enter the Theater room to meet with her friends)

Pinkie: (was chatting with her friends as she notice Ace and Rarity coming in) Oh! They’re here! Ace! Rarity! Over her! (She called out happily waving to them)

Arctic: (had a small smile and chuckled a bit) Hey Pinkie, nice to see you to (he said as he seats down along with Rarity)

Applejack: So, we’re in for another adventure (she ask as she look over as she sees Ace would nod his head)

Rainbow: Well, after there last one I wonder where they might be at next (she said curious with some excitement to)

Sci-Twi: Guess, will find out (she mentioned looking at the screen)

Fluttershy: I-i hope it’s not somewhere scary again (she said softly)

Everyone soon got relax in their seats as they paid attention to the screen and await for The princess and her friends next adventure

Future G5

Discord Memorial Cinema

On a wintery day that marked the New Year, I sat at the counter twiddling with the money in the cash register, feeling grumpy. The cinema remained undecorated for the holiday season.

I hated the holidays. Everything to do with them. Now please don’t ask why, it’s not your business to know the reason. My business is strictly with running this division of Discord’s Theater, though Cinema is more appropriate—it being much more specific to the kind of theater it was. The best compliment I could give was that the bar always had consistent high-quality beer.

Me: Bah! Humbug. What reason is there to be merry when you find yourself a year older and not a penny richer? (drinks) If I had my way, every idiot who would go about with Merry Christmas, Happy Hearth’s Warming or Happy Wishday or whatever on their lips should be boiled in their own pudding and buried with a stake of holly right through their chest. (snorts, drinks) You keep your holidays in your own way, my little ponies, and let me keep it in mine.

At that moment, the Projector whirred to life causing me to spit out my drink.

Me: (grumbles) All I can hope for is that it’s not another Godforsaken Christmas movie. I swear, this time of year brings out the worst in me. (refills flask and pockets it)

I then pressed the alarm bell underneath the register and initiated “Rush Time” preparations. As a rule, I was not allowed to sneak a peek at the future films to be shown, likewise the posters of them as well. So, while the radio played “Cleanin’ Up The Town” I rushed around to set the letters, posters, turn on the snack machines, and set the shelves of the counter.

I was genuinely surprised at the movie choice, which I welcomed with open arms.

Me: Hopefully watching a classic from my childhood will lift me out of this annual holiday slump.

Soon enough, the first few patron regulars began arriving.

Me: Good day, your majesty.

Haven: Good day, Mr. Fury and a Happy Wishintine!

Me: (dismissive) Uhuh, happy Wishintine to you too. You’ll have your regular?

Haven: Of course, and some…Diet Pepsi, please.

Me: Sure thing. Head on in, your majesty. Ah, Alphabittle!

Alphabittle: Frosty Shi—I mean, Warm Wishyhoof!

Me: (dismissive again) Yep, Warm Wishyhoof to you as well.

Alphabittle: I have some tea and potato chips, please.

Me: Very well, here you go.

And soon, almost every regular had paid for their seats and snacks…and of course wished me a merry season’s greeting. I kept up appearances for the sake of my customers, as all successful business people aspire to. My dislike for the holidays should not impede on my business. Eventually, the final group finally arrived, and with two—no, three—plus-ones.

Sunny: Happy Wishday, Plymouth!

Me: (dismissive) Seasons greetings to you too, Sunny.

Izzy: Hey, where are all the decorations?

Me: (again) Well, I’ve been busy enough as of late. I just didn’t have enough time.

Izzy: Oh! That makes perfect sense!

Tinny: So this is the theater you guys told me about. It’s definitely big!

Red: (thoughts) This is only the lobby. The main room is down here.

Tinny: I can’t wait to see my first movie! Let’s go!

I’ll admit, it was warming to see the two new friends rush through the doorway. Of course, they needed a discount—in other words: free seating—since inanimate objects can’t exactly pay on their own.

Me: You’re gonna love this. This film is one of my personal favorites, in more ways than one.

Izzy: EEH! I can’t wait!

Zipp: Well, let’s go then!

Pipp: Happy Wishintine~!

Hitch: Happy Wishday!

Sparky: Babby Bishay!

I watched as the friends all piled through the doorway as I counted the cash. Another successful day in the cinema, and all on my second showing. Profits are going to soar in no time flat with each successive showing in the coming future. I am definitely going to love this career.

Me: (grinning satisfactory) Merry Christmas indeed, Plymouth.

Just then, the doors opened again as a certain unicorn nervously trotted in.

Me: Hello again.

Misty: (startled) Oh, u-uh s-s-sorry, I didn’t…didn’t see you there because you…work…here.

Me: (deadpan) Yes I do. Anyway…here to watch the film?

Misty: Oh, yes—yes I am.

Me: …And you’re gonna pay for your ticket?

Misty: O-Oh yeah. Here you go.

Me: Any snacks to go with your viewing?

Misty: N-No thank you.

I didn’t trust Misty as far as I could throw her out. Her history of espionage was a sure fire detriment to my business as the cinema owner, but who would I be to turn away a potential customer? A terrible businessman, that’s for sure.

Misty: Happy Wishday!

Me: Yeah, Happy Wishday! (on my own, grumbling) Happy Wishday, Merry Christmas. It’s all a big load of Humbug! How does happiness and meriness fulfill your heart? All it does is break it…(sighs, despondent)…but you gotta have hope, perhaps for those who better deserve it.

Though, as I closed up the register and made my way into the theater, I couldn’t help but notice something was different about Misty. Was it her mane? Or that thing she was holding in her legs? Was that a lamp? What would she be doing with a lamp in a theater?


(A few minutes—about an hour—ago)

Misty was almost ready, if her nerves would stop playing up so much.

All she would do was go outside the castle, to Maretime Bay for the New Year festivities, and not even bother around the Cinema. Opaline said so…but she also yelled at her again when it wasn’t her fault…again.

Besides, Sunny said the New Year in Maretime Bay was a “sight to behold.”

Maybe it wouldn’t hurt if—

Opaline: Misty!

Oh…here goes nothing.

Opaline: Just what do you think you are doing?

Misty: I-I-I…uh, um…

Opaline: What is it? Speak up, you know I hate the mumbling.

Misty: W-Well, I was w-wondering if…(breathes in and out)…I was wondering if I could, maybe-go-to-Maretime-Bay-for-the-New-Year’s-festival…please?

She winced at the stone cold face of the alicorn, she could never fully tell what she was thinking when she had that face.

Opaline: Go? To Maretime Bay? For the New Year’s?

Misty: (usure)…Yes?

Opaline: (sighs) I don’t know what you fascinate with those “holidays”. They’re a worthless pastime for ponies to forget what’s most important: the power of magic!

Misty frowned in defeat.

Opaline: However…you have behaved ever since your…failure, so I will allow it, but ONLY this once, and you are not allowed near the Theater for the next two films, remember?

Misty: Y-Yes, I do remember. I-I-I won’t go near the Theater, I promise!

Opaline: Good. That’s good. Obedience is rewarded, Misty. You’d do better to understand that.

Misty: Uhuh, uhuh! I u-understand. Bye, Opaline!

Opaline: (bored) Goodbye, Misty. See you later.

Misty didn’t listen much to Opaline, she was too excited to be leaving the castle. In her haste, she had forgotten her mirror-locket, though neither noticed the little slip-up.

Soon enough, Misty arrived in the crowded streets. She decided to check out the market. There were plenty of stalls with ponies selling all kinds of knick-knacks, from prop vehicles to homemade jewelry.

One stall in particular caught her attention. A unicorn stallion was selling a variety of lamps, desk or otherwise. Misty then noticed a small desk-lamp:
static.wikia.nocookie.net/pixar/images/4/45/8989A2A4-5BC6-4FCE-92A4-3EBDB08945ED.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20220730232452
Stallion: I see Luxo’s caught your attention.

Misty: (startled) O-Oh!

Stallion: Sorry, ma’am. I didn’t mean to startle you.

Misty: N-No, it’s alright. W-Wait, did you say Luxo?

Stallion: Yep-a roonie! Luxo Jr. is its name! It helps to name all the lamps, that way they won’t jinx me with their…(shivers)…angry lights, or worse!

Misty: Uh…w-well, could…could I have Luxo Jr.?

Stallion: Sure ya can! For…say, twenty-five?

Misty: Oh…um…well, the thing is—

Izzy: Hi, Misty!

Misty: AAH!!

Izzy: Oh! Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you! What are you doing? Are you trying to buy a new lamp but don’t have enough money?

Misty: (sheepish) Um…yes?

Izzy: No worries! I got ya! Here you go, Lights!

Lights: Thank you, Izzy. (to Misty) Now, miss: remember to always turn off your light before you go to bed, otherwise your lamp will always shine on you and you’ll never again sleep for as long as you live~!

Crickets.

Misty: Uh…

Izzy: It’s alright, Misty!

Misty: So…should I pay you back, or…

Izzy: (chuckles) Don’t worry about it! It was a favor between friends! Your happiness is all I need!

Misty: Oh. W-Well, if you say so.

Izzy: Glad I could help! I’m gonna go get a smoothie! Wanna come?

Misty: Uh…sure?

Izzy: Yay! C’mon, I know a secret how to beat the crowds!

Except when they got to the stand, there was already a crowd, only it was gathered around the stand instead of in a line and going “Oooh!” and “Aah!” at anything but the stand.

Sunny: Izzy! Misty!

Izzy: Hi, Sunny! We see that you have a cluster instead of a line!

Sunny: I know! The crowd really loves Red’s tricks!

Misty: Who’s Red?

Izzy: He’s a unicycle I unicycled out of the garbage back on Nightmare Night! He’s really good at juggling balls! Wait, he’s not good! He’s fantastic!

Misty craned her neck around the crowd and managed to pick out the source. Indeed, there was a unicycle, without a pedaler, juggling rubber balls to the amusement of the crowd.

Misty: A unicycle moving on its own?!

Izzy: I know right?! He’s really good! The best I’ve ever seen!

Opaline was watching from her castle, unimpressed.

Opaline: A unicycling unicycle? (scoffs) Doubtless that Izzy enchanted it. It’s a basic spell, and she uses it on a unicycle? Such a waste of magic.

She turned off the viewing magic and walked away, bored.

Izzy: Come on! If we hurry, we can make it in time for Pipp’s New Year concert!

They rushed over to the gathered crowd before the stage, Pipp just about ready for the performance.

Pipp: Happy New Year, everypony! Here’s a song just for the holiday for all of you~!

Audience: Yeah!

As Pipp was warming up for her new song, suddenly the siren bells rang around town announcing the newest film from the Cinema.

Ponies: MOVIE!!

In the confusion of the crowd, Misty got swept up in the ensuing galloping towards the cinema. She didn’t think about Opaline above the noise, and when she remembered she was already far out of Maretime Bay. She also remembered how Opaline’s influence did not stretch out that far enough, and she had forgotten her locket.

Izzy: ARE YOU EXCITED FOR THE MOVIE, MISTY?!! BECAUSE I AM!!!

Misty had no choice, and she really wanted to see the movie.

Misty: YEAH!! I GUESS I AM!!


In any case, so long as she paid for her ticket, anything else was not my business.

Me: Good afternoon on this New Year, everyone. This next film you’re about to watch will be… a little bit different than what you’re used to. Who here likes fairy tales?

Nearly every hoof was raised.

Me: I thought so. So, this film will harken back to those fairy tales of yore, but not exactly at the same time. I’ll let you find out for yourselves. Sit back, relax, and enjoy—in a collaboration with Dreamworks Pictures: Cinematic Adventures: Shrek!

I then sat down next to the Mane Five and Red and Tinny.

Tinny: Hey, is that Sprout?

Hitch: Yes it is.

Tinny: Hmm…hehehee! (plays instruments)

Sprout looked over, noticing the smirking toy, going pale and wide-eyed.

Tinny: Hello~, Sprout!

Sprout: AHH!! DEMON TOY!! (dives underneath Phyllis’ table) Save me, Mommy! The demon toy has returned to eat me!

Phyllis, along with Haven and Alphabittle, looked over to see Tinny next to Red. He waved friendly, saying hello.

Phyllis: (sighs) Oh, sugarcube.

Alphabittle: What is there to be scared about a toy, especially that one? I like its aesthetic.

Haven: It certainly is. It reminds me of a toy I had when I was younger. (smiles nostalgically) I have many fond memories of that toy.

Me: Roll film!

Unknown location…

In the darkness, a single ray of light shined down upon a leather-bound storybook. The book opened as a voice began reading its text, further supported by the colorful pictures taking up each of the pages:

I read along with the voice.

Me: (in a Scottish accent) Once upon a time there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love’s first kiss. She was locked away in a castle, guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon’s keep in the highest room of the tallest tower. For her true love and true love’s first kiss…

Pipp: Aw, I love fairy tales!

The voice gave a chuckle as a large, green hand ripped out one page of the book (A page containing a picture of a prince kneeling before the sleeping princess). And just as quickly the book sealed closed.

Pipp: What the—Hey!

Me: (with Shrek) Hehehe, like that’s ever gonna happen! What a load ‘a—

Outside a wooden outhouse, with a front door with a moon silhouette cut out, a flushing toilet could be heard.

Me: Some—

The door soon burst open and out of it emerged a big green ogre named Shrek.

Me: —body once told me the world is gonna roll me! 
I ain’t the sharpest tool in the she-hed!

Zipp: So this is a musical?

Me: Not exactly.

Haven: Goodness! Is this our…Shrek? An ogre living in a swamp?

Alphabittle: Seems that way.

Tugging his underwear and shaking his foot to remove a page still stuck to his shoe, he gazed lovingly toward the place he called home. There stood a house which appeared to be a large tree stump raised from the ground (So one could see the tree roots underneath), covered with mold and grass. It would seem to be the heart of the swamp of which the ogre resided in. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was an ogre. If there was one thing an ogre loved more than anything in this big, bright, beautiful world… it’s anything ‘nasty’.

Me: She was lookin’ kinda dumb 
with her finger and her thumb 
in the shape of an L on her forehead!

With a deep breath and slamming the outhouse door behind him, Shrek proceeded to go about his daily routine:

Me: Well, the years start comin’ and they don’t stop comin! 
Fed to the rules, gonna hit the ground runnin’! 
Didn’t make sense not to live for fun, 
your brain gets smart while your head  gets dumb!

It began quite simply… every morning he’d take a lovely little mud shower, using a contraption of which he made himself. He scrubbed every square inch of his body with all the mud he was able to gather and even gargled some of it in his mouth. Not that it really did much of anything, but he rather enjoyed the taste of fresh mud.

Me: So much to do, so much to see, 
So what’s wrong with taking the backstreets? 
You’ll never know if you don’t go. 
You’ll never shine if you don’t glow.

Pipp: I’m loving this song already!

Tinny: It’s…different than what I expected.

Zipp: That might have been the point.

Haven: This is disgusting! Why are we watching all of this?

Alphabittle: Probably to show us the kind of…character Shrek is. A carefree orge who likes nasty things.

Then when he was done, he’d proceed to brush his teeth. Using the juice he squeezed from the nearest bugs, he’d scrub his teeth until the very substance seeped into his teeth. He’d face the mirror with a rotten, cavity-ridden smile… and the mirror shattered into the pieces. But that always meant his method was working.

Unicorns: Seven years bad luck!

Zipp: (unamused) You too?

Hitch: You guys have that same superstition too?

Me: Hey now, you’re an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid

Even though he’d already taken his shower, he’d dive right into a muddy pond for some additional bathing as well as, for lack of better words… taking care of much needed business. Those unfortunate to be ‘in’ his business, like a poor fish minding its business, were ripe for the taking by the carefree ogre himself.

Haven: Goodness. Is this…humor meant to be funny?

Alphabittle: I don’t know. Maybe it’ll get better.

Haven: Well, it appears our PlymouthFury is loving this movie so far, more so than the rest of us.

Me: All that glitters is go~old!
Only shootin’ stars~ break the mo~old!

As if that wasn’t enough, Shrek would dig himself into a nearby log and push aside some muck that was forming up. If he were lucky, he’d find himself some fresh giant slugs to take for himself. However he’d do it, one thing was certain for Shrek: He would never go hungry.

Me: It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You’re bundled up now, wait ‘til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

Izzy: Hey! What’d that slug ever do to you?

Hitch: I’m trying to figure out what these names that keep appearing mean.

Pipp: Oh! They’re the lead actors!

Izzy: Oh~!

Sunny: That makes sense.

Tinny: Some of those names ring a bell.

Red: (thoughts) Very funny.

The last part of his to-do list was what one would call a hobby of his. Standing by the pony while the setting sun was looming over the swamp, Shrek was applying the finishing touch on a wooden canvas of sort (Don’t ask how he got the paint). Once his work was complete, he picked up the canvas for a closer look, admiring the final results, and even gave a kiss to his masterpiece… despite the fact the paint still needed to dry. And then, he stabbed the wooden piece through the soil just a few feet from his house… which actually turned out to be a warning sign with his face upon it. A sign among hundreds he’d construct around every square inch of his home, all of which for good reason.

Me: The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water’s getting warm so you might as well swim
My world’s on fire, how about yours?
That’s the way I like it and I never get bored

Haven: Why must he paint so many signs?

Alphabittle: Maybe he prefers being left alone.

Izzy: (gasps) He has no friends?!

Red: (thoughts) He doesn’t look bothered at being alone.

In a nearby village, not far from the swamp, an angry mob of men gathered in the square. They were brought together for one reason and one reason only: To pursue the ogre Shrek and capture him. That very night, they gathered their torches and pitchforks and braved the dangers of the swamp itself to pursue their prize. They paid no heed to all the warning signs the ogre worked so hard to put together. The mob trampled over every sign that was in their way, refusing to back down.

Me: Hey now, you’re an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars~ break the mo~old

Hitch: Uh oh.

Zipp: I guess not everyone likes Shrek.

At home, Shrek was attempting to enjoy a quiet dinner that evening. A warm serving of food he prepped for himself (A bowlful of eyeballs plucked from rather ‘questionable’ circumstances’) and all the while relaxing over the warm glow of the fireplace. A commotion stirred him of his peace, and he approached his window to investigate. Looking around, he spotted the source: The local villagers, glowing with the light of their torches and the iron of their pitchforks gleaming against the flames. Shrek rolled his eyes, for he knew these particular villagers rather well and it was certainly not his first encounter, nor would it be his last. So, much to his chagrin, he left the house to settle some… ‘business’.

Me: Hey now, you’re an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars~ break the mo~old

Tinny: You sing nicely.

Me: Thank you, Tinny. I grew up watching this movie as a kid. (brags) I know it inside out, at least without any Equestrian interference.

Outside Shrek’s home, all the villagers gathered together along a brush. They were blissfully unaware of the ogre himself sneaking behind them. One of the villagers proceeded to pull back the brush, offering the anxious group a good look at the swamp. Before them stood the ogre’s dwelling, the glowing light of the fireplace brightly gleaming through the open window. They murmured amongst themselves, charting their next course of action… if any at all.

Sunny: Oh, dear!

Me: (with Villager One) Think it’s in there? (with Villager Two) All right. Let’s get it!

But the villager barely took one step forward before the rest hauled him back.

Me: (with Villager Three) Whoa! Hold on! Do you know what that thing can do to you? (with Villager Four) Yeah, it’ll grind your bones for its bread.

A chuckle caused the group to freeze briefly, before they quickly turned around. Much to their horror, Shrek stood before them, hovering over the frightened mob.

Me: (with Shrek) Yes, well, actually, that would be a giant.

Izzy: You’re so good at this! It’s like I can’t tell the difference! How do you do it?

Me: Years of experience in theater performances.

The mob gasped loudly and slowly began to back away. Shrek advanced toward them, trying to look menacing before these humans… and yet, he couldn’t help but attempt to make conversation all the same.

Me: (with Shrek) Now, ogres, oh they’re much worse. They’ll make a suit from your freshly peeled skin. They’ll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes!

Alphabittle: Hahaha, I knew I liked this guy!

Phyllis: Is he supposed to be scary?

Haven: He is to them.

Having said all that, Shrek quickly lost his menacing look.

Me: (with Shrek) Actually, it’s quite good on toast— (with Villager) Back! Back, beast!

One villager screamed at the ogre, waving his torch against his face.

Me: (cont.) Back! I warn ya!

Zipp: I think he likes doing this. It’s kinda funny to watch.

The villager kept waving his torch against Shrek, much to his amusement… but mostly annoyance. Casually licking his fingers, Shrek pinched one hand against the flame and extinguished the torch in seconds. The villagers gasped loudly as the village stared at his extinguished torch in shock and the torch slipped from his fingers.

Me: (with Villager) Right…

Sunny: Now what?

“RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Shrek terrified the mob with a great roar, frightening all the villagers into a screaming stupor. The spit and saliva spewing from the ogre’s mouth extinguished all the remaining torches and flew against those unfortunate to be in the ‘splash zone’… which essentially was ‘everyone’.

Sprout: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

Foals: AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!

Pipp: AAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Izzy: WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!!!

I just sat back and calmly ate my popcorn with an amused grin on my face.

As soon as he was done, he wiped his mouth clean with one sleeve and waited patiently for all the villagers to stop screaming. When neither man could scream no more, they stared frozen with fright anxiously wondering what the ogre would do to them now.

Pipp: Are we done? Can we stop screaming?

Zipp: Yes! Gah, I always forget my earplugs.

Alphabittle: That Pipp sure can scream.

Tinny: Still, I don’t feel scared by Shrek. I think he enjoys doing this.

The ogre leaned toward one villager and whispered…

Me: (with Shrek) This is the part where you run away…

Shrek laughed as the men dropped their torches and pitchforks. They quickly raced away as fast as they could until he could see everybody disappearing through the trees and back to the safety of their homes.

Sunny: Okay, that was funny.

Posey: All he wants to do is be left alone. He’s just…(chuckles) very creative at going about it.

Me: (with Shrek) And stay out!

With the villagers gone, Shrek looked down toward the ground and noticed that one of the villagers had dropped something. He reached down and picked up what appeared to be a wanted poster with what appeared to be a bearded gnome or dwarf. He read the inscription aloud.

Me: (with Shrek) Wanted. Fairytale creatures?

Sunny: What? Wanted?

Pipp: They were gonna capture him and sell him for a bounty?!

Hitch: Who put those up?! I demand an answer!

Me: You know, something about all this seems to be ironic considering the recent history of this land. But that’s just me.

It didn’t take long to dawn on what these villagers were up to: It wasn’t enough that these humans would trespass upon his private space; now they were hoping to capture him for a measly profit. He’d heard the rumors, that villages everywhere were on the hunt for fairytale creatures like him… though more pleasant and charming as opposed to ogres. Stories of people who would evict those very creatures from their homes, driving them away from their grounds, and those who couldn’t escape being sold for a few coins that would barely last a person for a measly day. All because whatever these creatures had against those authorizing the hunt, they clearly did not fit their ‘big, bright, beautiful world’.

All of which… was of no concern for the ogre. Shrek merely sighed and walked off, dropping the poster back to the ground while making his way back home. As far as he was concerned, he had no reason to fear these villagers. Not that he would ever actually ‘hurt’ anyone, but those bold enough to stand mere inches in his property and he’d scare them all away just as he had since he was seven. None would dare try to lay a finger on him, much less even dare to think to drive him away from home.

As far as Shrek was concerned, they can keep their big, bright, beautiful world. He was happy where he is, all alone and having everything he’d need. So long as those villagers actually paid heed to the warning of his signs, to leave him in the comfort of his own little patch of the world, it was all Shrek’s… and this ogre had nothing to worry about.

Me: I have a feeling I know precisely where our Equestrian heroes will appear. And that’s not all: another old enemy will be making an appearance.

Sunny: Who?

Me: Tirek.

Izzy: Tirek?! That’s…who is that again?

Me: He’s a giant red centaur with black and gold beady eyes with a long white beard who can siphon magic from ponies to gain strength. Not only is he strong, he’s also cunning and manipulative with spectacular charisma. (to Myself) A far more interesting antagonist than Opaline will ever be.

Zipp: A centaur that can steal magic from ponies? (breathes)

Misty: Tirek? I know that name, but I don’t remember Opaline ever telling me about him.

Me: We’ll just have to wait and see what happens next.
>>next

It’s not as easy as it looks, you know.

I agree one hundred percent, do people think it’s easy to do an entire movie beat for beat, that involves a lot of memorizing! That’s why I like these kind of fanfics, they’re underrated and underappreciated y

YES!! I was hoping for a Cinematic Adventures of Shrek :)

I personally can't wait to see the interactions between Pinkie Pie and Donkey :)

Let’s ggggoooooooooo XD, didn’t think the Shrek adventure would start this early, so excited woot woot

First of all, happy New Year! And second, we seem to be off on a good start already. What the heck is Tirek gonna do in the world of Shrek?

Meanwhile, in the human world

Sitting outside a cafe, at a table, Wallflower Blush and Juniper Montage were busy conversing.

Juniper Montage: “So, I was talking with Vignette Valencia the other day, and she was all about another of her B.Y.B.B. Thing. I want to be better, yeah. But I’m not exactly onboard with the whole…wizard kung fu…deal. It’s kinda…chaotic.”

Wallflower Blush: “Even more chaotic with everything we’ve seen and experienced in our lives?”

Juniper Montage: “Hmmm. Touché.”

Wallflower Blush: “Why do these things always happen to us? Why couldn’t we just have normal lives?”

Juniper Montage: “Yeah. I asked myself that question almost everyday. I mean…it’s not like we asked the universe to send us to places like Misthaven, Westeros, or Essos, and risking our lives to fight otherworldly battles…”

Wallflower Blush: “Nope.”

Juniper Montage: “Or even having living cartoon characters coming from other worlds to ours.”

Wallflower Blush: (Shaking her head) “Uh-uh…”

Juniper Montage: “I’ve talked about this with Sunset Shimmer. Human!Sunset Shimmer the other day and…she thinks it’s destiny.”

Wallflower Blush: “Destiny she says?”

Juniper Montage: “From her mouth to my ears! Which is lot more sensible than what Pinkie Pie would say…”

Wallflower Blush: (Groan and pinching her temples) “Not the puppet talk again…”

Juniper Montage: (Shrugging) “That’s Pinkie Pie being Pinkie Pie…All her talks about beings from another world, and how we’re just serving our purposes to entertain them on a little show…it’s random.”

Wallflower Blush: “Oy vey…”

Juniper Montage: “I mean…the Cinematic Adventure is one thing…And we happen to have connections with a kooky draconequus to show for it…but the thought of someone else…maybe millions of others out there in the Multiverse…watching us, for their amusements…at our own expense…” (Widens her eyes) “That keeps me up all night! Like I could never take a shower the same way again!” (Blushes a shade of pink) “And let’s not even mention the things I wear!”

Wallflower Blush: (Blushes an even intensive shade of red) “Uh…Can we just change topic? This is very uncomfortable!”

Juniper Montage: (Blushes) “Sure. Sorry.” (Clears her throat) “What were you asking?”

Wallflower Blush: (Sighs) “I was asking why we couldn’t have normal lives, like other people in the world?”

Juniper Montage: “Oh. Right…Um.” (Ponders) “Y’know, Wallflower…I’m afraid that after everything…there’s no such thing as normal…”

Wallflower Blush: “What do you mean?”

Juniper Montage: “We’re each one of a kind! That’s what. You like to garden, I like filming! You’re crazy good of going undercover and I’m good at speaking in general public!”

Wallflower Blush: (Smiles) “Got that right…” (Frowns sadly) “So, I guess even before Sunset Shimmer — Pony!Sunset Shimmer — came into our lives…we’ve never been normal to begin with…”

Juniper Montage: “And that’s a good thing! Like uncle says, it’s better being abnormal than being boring.”

Wallflower Blush: “Right…So, how is he? How’s your uncle, Canter Zoom?”

Juniper Montage: “Oh, he’s doing great! He and his crew are making another movie and…it should be done in time for the premiere in two more months.”

Wallflower Blush: “That’s progress. And is he going to let you back on set? I know the two of you haven’t spoken much since…”

Juniper Montage: “Uh…well…”

Wallflower Blush: (Cringing) “That bad?”

Juniper Montage: “Actually, I haven’t talked to him about it. I don’t want to push my luck of ever getting back on set. Honestly, I think it’s for the best to just leave the past where it is…”

Wallflower Blush: “Fair enough…”

Juniper Montage: “Besides, the less time I have with him means more time to spend with my best friend. Right?”

Wallflower Blush: (Smiles) “Aw, you didn’t have to do that, Juniper. But thanks…”

Juniper Montage: (Smiles back) “So bestie? How’re you and Slappy doing?”

Wallflower Blush: “Oh, he’s Slappy. That little rascal of a Demiguise just can’t stop slapping people enough for one day…”

Juniper Montage: (Shakes her head) “There’s just something wrong with that…monkey… sloth…thing, or whatever.”

Wallflower Blush: “That’s just Slappy. Though, he has been acting antsy than usual, lately…I wish I could understand him more.”

Juniper Montage: “Well, I’m no magical creature. But I have read in Newt Scamander’s book on Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and it says that Demiguise can see the future.”

Wallflower Blush: “Really? Then I wonder how our future is looking? Like will we ever see Sunset again?”

Juniper Montage: (Shrugs) “Like I would know…” (Looks at Wallflower in sympathy) “I know. We all miss her.”

Wallflower Blush: “I’m sorry I ever brought her up…”

Juniper Montage: “Hey, it’s okay. I know. We were all good friends with her. The same with the Rainbooms. But then, some crazy stuff happened, one after another and…”

Wallflower Blush: “…now she’s in another galaxy, far, far away…”

Juniper Montage: “…Well, at least we have our own Sunset Shimmer. Human! Sunset Shimmer…”

Wallflower Blush: “But…she’s not the same…”

Juniper Montage: “But…it’s still her.”

Wallflower Blush: “Hey! Don’t get me wrong! I’m glad to have met Human!Sunset Shimmer! But…I don’t know. Maybe it’s my fault. I don’t want to feel like we’re replacing her…and I don’t want her to feel that either…It’s just…I don’t know…y’know?”

Juniper Montage: “I know. But…we’ll figure it out.”

At that very moment, an owl came flying and landed on the table of the two girls, with a letter in its beak.

Wallflower Blush: (Takes the letter from the owl) “Huh. Wasn’t expecting mail from an owl. But if Pinkie were here…she’d say, ‘air mail.’”

Juniper Montage: “What is it? A letter from Hogwarts?” (Gasps in excitement) “Is it Cho Chang?! Oh please! Please, please, be Cho!”

Wallflower Blush: “Sorry, Juniper. It’s not Cho Chang, or Hogwarts…it’s Discord.”

Juniper Montage: (Cringing) “Oh…him again? What does he want this time?”

Wallflower Blush: (Reading) “He says…”

Dear Wallflower and Juniper,

It just occurred to me that you two have been WAY overdue for a time in the spotlight in the Cinematic Adventure. Just the two of you! So…bring the gracious and generous Master of Chaos that I am, I have taken the liberty of bringing you two in another adventure, by yours truly.

And here, you two will get to meet a brand new friend!

Juniper Montage: (Sarcasm) “Oh joy.”

Wallflower Blush: (Sarcasm) “What Cinematic Adventure are we in for this time?”

Without warning, there was a flash of light from the letter and both girls were sucked into the vortex.

Both: (Falling through the vortex) “WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!”

This. Is gonna be fun. I can feel it.

And now, a word from Alastor and Angle Dust

This has been a word from Alastor and Angle Dust

Good start so far, I wonder what'll happen next!

Looking, forward to seeing what plans you have with the both of them

Keep up the amazing job Phantom! :pinkiesmile:

It should be kind of obvious rarity is not going to love this swamp..........at all.

Discord' Theater

Dodger and I were working at the theater just keeping the place neatly in order when the next adventure begins. Zatanna is here also, she came back from Gotham just yesterday and told us about the clean-up the city had.

It's still full of crime but the people are sleeping more peacefully now. Then suddenly two hooded figures walked inside.

Hooded man 1: " What a tacky theater, I've honestly never seen one so outdated."

Hooded man 2: Ha, this is nothing. Back home we have theaters with actual bowling allies and big arcades you can win prizes, some even serve your meals.


I walked from behind the counter to greet our rather rude guest.

Myself: Greetings gentlemen, welcome..."

One interrupted me.

Hooded man 2: "And what do we have here? Two wizards from the Wizarding world and. ( Looking at Zatanna) Oh! Zatanna Zatrar from DC, a pleasure my lady."

Zatanna felt uncomfortable with the man's greeting but replied politely.

Zatanna: Ah...Well, thank you, may we ask why you're here? The theater isn't open to the public at the moment.


Hooded man 1: " Yes, we know but we are on expectation with the boss. We need to check the electronics, sound, and vision of the cameras upstairs.

Dodger jumps in and says.

Dodger: " Really? Well, I'm head of security and I wasn't notified, show me some papers and I'll check them."

Hooded man 1 looked to 2 and nodded. 2 then walked toward Dodger and placed his hand in his pocket to pull out these supposed papers but then he grabs Dodger's hand.

He spun behind him and with his other hand poked his fingertips rapidly at Dodger's back making him fall stiffly and painfully.

1 then jumped forward and placed his hand at his mouth only what came out was a breath of fire aimed at Zatanna.


Myself: " Zee, get down."

I screamed pushing Zatanna out of the way, just missing the blast myself, the man jumps again this time doing a spiral kick that shoots another fire blast from his shoes.

Silver Shill: "Ahh! Fire! Fire! FIRE!"

Myself ( in thought): ' Wait a minute, that fighting stance and the sudden fire. He's a Firebender and the other guy with how he knocked out Dodger. He's a Chi-Blocker!'

I pulled out my two wands and dual the two, the chi-blocker kept dodging with jumps and spins while the Firebender matched my attacks with fire, I tried not to use any lightning because I didn't know if he was also a lightning bender too and I didn't want to find out.

Unfortunately, he was. He then put two fingers together and formed a circle creating a charge of lightning, he then shot the bolt at first my direction then slightly changed it to hit Zatanna right on the arm, and she screamed in pain.

Myself: " Zee!"

In that distraction, the Chi-Blocker jumped from behind and paralyzed me too.

Dodger: " I can't move, what did you do?"

Hooded man 2: " Oh don't worry the effects will wear off in a few minutes."

I whistled for Fluffy but the Chi-Blocler placed his hand on my mouth and said.

Hooded man 2: "Sorry but if that's for your Cerberus out back he's currently tuckered out at the moment. Who knew a little flute could knock a big thing out like a light..... Eww, what are you? Four years old!"

He said that because I liked his hand while it was on my mouth.


A few moments later the two had entered the theater room and Zatanna was holding me as Dodger and myself were starting to recover, she was still in pain but she pulled through, just then.

The doors to Discord’s theatre burst open as Tirek made his way through the front doors. A team of security raced towards the centaur, all trying their best to stop the tyrant. Unfortunately, Tirek easily overpowered even the most skilled line of defense. While his fallen enemies were licking their wounds, Tirek casually made his way through the theatre. Soon as he got inside, he noticed two cloaked figures standing on stage near the magical television. He quickly assumed his place onto the stage and stood alongside the two cloaked figures.

“I trust our knights are keeping those ingrates at bay?” One figure asked.

“That they are,” Tirek nodded. “They won’t keep them busy too long, but long enough for us to get where we need to be.”

“Then let’s be on our way,” The other figure ordered. “We have two targets to find and much mayhem to spread.”

With a wave of the hand, the figure commanded the large mirror portal to open. The trio quickly made their way through the portal, which immediately closed behind them.

Meanwhile, the Mane Six and Spike continued their fight against the knights. Tag team action commenced with Rainbow Dash and Applejack deliver a series of hard-hitting bucks and strong-style punches. The combination left the targeted knights either flat out cold or screaming while flailing about in the air. In unison, Rarity and Twilight blasted a majority of the knights about with their magic sending them back while a few others started to run away.

Spike spat flames, roasting a majority of the knights. Thankfully, the armor prevented them from burning to death. But those caught in the blast screamed like children, running back and forth with their pants flaming.

Pinkie threw some cupcakes toward the knights, one of whom caught it and lifted his face opening for a closer look. It was only then he saw a sparkling candle at the top and before any could react… *BOOM!!!* the cupcakes exploded, sending the knights blasting out of their armor… and leaving some spotted underwear floating toward the road.

Fluttershy used her powerful stare to immobilize and terrify the knights into submission. This act sent the remainder of the knights running for the hills or curled up in a fetal position, one of them sucking his thumb like a frightened little boy.

Eventually, our heroes had successfully pacified the majority of the knights, the rest managing to escape the area.


Finally able to move Dodger got up and head toward us I immediately said.

Myself: " No, I'll take care of her. Go help the others put out the fires."

I took a look at her arm and it was fortunate to be a slight burn nothing I couldn't heel.

The Mane Six and Spike quickly made their way toward the theatre and burst through the doors. They noticed all the fallen security slowly regaining their stance, attempting to restore order before the frightened patrons caught in the action. One of the security intel pointed in direction, sending our heroes racing into the theater and onto the stage. Twilight quickly began punching coordinates into the machine, to track Tirek toward whichever world he travelled to. Pushing the final button, the portal opened up once more leaving all eyes staring into it.

“I wonder where it’s taking us this time?” Rarity asked curiously.

“No idea, but I hope we finally end up in a place where folks won’t be surprised about our presence for a change,” Rainbow said seriously.

“At least this will be our first ‘Academy Award-Winning’ adventure,” Pinkie grinned happily.

“Say what now?” Spike said confused.

“Never mind, let’s go!” Pinkie responded quickly.

Word got out of the attack and everyone checked to see if we were alright they saw the scare on Zatanna's arm but we promised she'd be alright. Afterward, we all gathered in the room to watch the next movie.

Unknown location…

In the darkness, a single ray of light shined down upon a leather-bound storybook. The book opened as a voice began reading its text, further supported by the colorful pictures taking up each of the pages:

“Once upon a time there was a lovely princess,” The voice read. “But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love’s first kiss. She was locked away in a castle, guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon’s keep in the highest room of the tallest tower. For her true love and true love’s first kiss…”

The voice chuckled with a large, green hand ripped out one page of the book (A page containing a picture of a prince kneeling before the sleeping princess). And just as quickly the book sealed closed.

“Like that’s ever gonna happen,” The voice chuckled. “What a load of—”

The mature audience covered the children's ears readying the approaching word that didn't come.


Fleck: " We were just getting to the good part."

Outside a wooden outhouse, with a front door with a moon silhouette cut out, a flushing toilet could be heard. The door soon burst open and out of it emerged a big green ogre named Shrek. Tugging his underwear and shaking his foot to remove a page still stuck to his shoe, he gazed lovingly toward the place he called home. There stood a house which appeared to be a large tree stump raised from the ground (So one could see the tree roots underneath), covered with mold and grass. It would seem to be the heart of the swamp of which the ogre resided in. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was an ogre. If there was one thing an ogre loved more than anything in this big, bright, beautiful world… it’s anything ‘nasty’.

With a deep breath and slamming the outhouse door behind him, Shrek proceeded to go about his daily routine:

Dodger: " Oh God an Oger, one of the most unpleasant and unsanitary creatures to walk the earth."

Myself: " They can't be that bad."

It began quite simply… every morning he’d take a lovely little mud shower, using a contraption of which he made himself. He scrubbed every square inch of his body with all the mud he was able to gather and even gargled some of it in his mouth. Not that it really did much of anything, but he rather enjoyed the taste of fresh mud.

Then when he was done, he’d proceed to brush his teeth. Using the juice he squeezed from the nearest bugs, he’d scrub his teeth until the very substance seeped into his teeth. He’d face the mirror with a rotten, cavity-ridden smile… and the mirror shattered into the pieces. But that always meant his method was working.

Even though he’d already taken his shower, he’d dive right into a muddy pond for some additional bathing as well as, for lack of better words… taking care of much needed business. Those unfortunate to be ‘in’ his business, like a poor fish minding its business, was ripe for the taking by the carefree ogre himself. As if that wasn’t enough, Shrek would dig himself into a nearby log and push aside some muck that was forming up. If he were lucky, he’d find himself some fresh giant slugs to take for himself. However he’d do it, one thing was certain for Shrek: He would never go hungry.

The last part of his to-do list was what one would call a hobby of his. Standing by the pony while the setting sun was looming over the swamp, Shrek was applying the finishing touch on a wooden canvas of sort (Don’t ask how he got the paint). Once his work was complete, he picked up the canvas for a closer look, admiring the final results, and even gave a kiss to his masterpiece… despite the fact the paint still needed to dry. And then, he stabbed the wooden piece through the soil just a few feet from his house… which actually turned out to be a warning sign with his face upon. A sign among hundreds he’d construct around every square inch of his home, all of which for good reason.

To say we were speechless was an understatement. How could one being be so gross.


In a nearby village, not far from the swamp, an angry mob of men gathered in the square. They were brought together for one reason and one reason only: To pursue the ogre Shrek and capture him. That very night, they gathered their torches and pitchforks and braved the dangers of the swamp itself to pursue their prize. They paid no heed to all the warning signs the ogre worked so hard to put together. The mob trampled over every sign that was in their way, refusing to back down.

Lyra: " Is he really dangerous? I get he's gross but it seems he just wants to be left alone."

Bon Bon: " That's just sad, no one should be alone all the time."

At home, Shrek was attempting to enjoy a quiet dinner that evening. A warm serving of food he prepped for himself (A bowlful of eyeballs plucked from rather ‘questionable’ circumstances’) and all the while relaxing over the warm glow of the fireplace. A commotion stirred him of his peace, and he approached his window to investigate. Looking around, he spotted the source: The local villagers, glowing with the light of their torches and the iron of their pitchforks gleaming against the flames. Shrek rolled his eyes, for he knew these particular villagers rather well and it was certainly not his first encounter, nor would it be his last. So, much to his chagrin, he left the house to settle some… ‘business’.

Outside Shrek’s home, all the villagers gathered together along a brush. They were blissfully unaware of the ogre himself sneaking behind them. One of the villagers proceeded to pull back the brush, offering the anxious group a good look at the swamp. Before them stood the ogre’s dwelling, the glowing light of the fireplace brightly gleaming through the open window. They murmured amongst themselves, charting their next course of action… if any at all.

“Think it’s in there?” One villager whispered.

“All right,” Another villager spoke determined. “Let’s get it!”

But the villager barely took one step forward before the rest hauled him back.

“Whoa! Hold on!” Another villager warned. “Do you know what that thing can do to you?”

“Yeah, it’ll grind your bones for its bread.”

A chuckle caused the group to freeze briefly, before they quickly turned around. Much to their horror, Shrek stood before them, hovering over the frightened mob.

“Yes, well, actually, that would be a giant,” Shrek corrected amused.

Myself: "Yeah, that true."

The mob gasped loudly and slowly began to back away. Shrek advanced toward them, trying to look menacing before these humans… and yet, he couldn’t help but attempt to make conversation all the same.

“Now, ogres, oh they’re much worse,” Shrek continued. “They’ll make a suit from your freshly peeled kin. They’ll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes!”

Having said all that, Shrek quickly lost his menacing look.

“Actually, it’s quite good on toast—”

“Back! Back, beast!”

One villager screamed at the ogre, waving his torch against his face.

“Back! I warn ya!”

The villager kept waving his torch against Shrek, much to his amusement… but mostly annoyance. Casually licking his fingers, Shrek pinched one hand against the flame and extinguished the torch in seconds. The villagers gasped loudly as the village stared at his extinguished torch in shock and the torch slipped from his fingers.

“Right…” The villager said awkwardly.

“RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Audience: " AHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Shrek terrified the mob with a great roar, frightening all the villagers into a screaming stupor. The spit and saliva spewing from the ogre’s mouth extinguished all the remaining torches and flew against those unfortunate to be in the ‘splash zone’… which essentially was ‘everyone’. Soon as he was done, he wiped his mouth clean with one sleeve and waited patiently for all the villagers to stop screaming. When neither man could scream no more, they stared frozen with fright anxiously wondering what the ogre would do to them now. The ogre leaned toward one villager and whispered…

“This is the part where you run away…”

Shrek laughed as the men dropped their torches and pitchforks. They quickly raced away as fast as they could until he could see everybody disappearing through the trees and back to the safety of their homes.

“And stay out!” He yelled after them.

With the villagers gone, Shrek looked down toward the ground and noticed that one of the villagers had dropped something. He reached down and picked up what appeared to be a wanted poster with what appeared to be a bearded gnome or dwarf. He read the inscription aloud.

“Wanted. Fairytale creatures?”

Tubby Nugget: " Wait, they were only attacking him because he was a fairy tale creature. That's not fair, what did these fairy tale Creatures do?"

Myself: " Nothing, the person who order the hunt is hunting them down because he see them as imperfection."

It didn’t take long to dawn on what these villagers were up to: It wasn’t enough that these humans would trespass upon his private space; now they were hoping to capture him for a measly profit. He’d heard the rumors, that villages everywhere were on the hunt for fairytale creatures like him… though more pleasant and charming as opposed to ogres. Stories of people who would evict those very creatures from their homes, driving them away from their grounds, and those who couldn’t escape being sold for a few coins that would barely last a person for a measly day. All because whatever these creatures had against those authorizing the hunt, they clearly did not fit their ‘big, bright, beautiful world’.

All of which… was of no concern for the ogre. Shrek merely sighed and walked off, dropping the poster back to the ground while making his way back home. As far as he was concerned, he had no reason to fear these villagers. Not that he would ever actually ‘hurt’ anyone, but those bold enough to stand mere inches in his property and he’d scare them all away just as he had since he was seven. None would dare try to lay a finger on him, much less even dare to think to drive him away from home.

As far as Shrek was concerned, they can keep their big, bright, beautiful world. He was happy where he is, all alone and having everything he’d need. So long as those villagers actually paid heed to the warning of his signs, to leave him in the comfort of his own little patch of the world, it was all Shrek’s… and this ogre had nothing to worry about.

Chapter one final

It's nice Sonata has work at Twilight's castle, and is the new 24/7 champion, and is very protective of that belt. Tirek had guts to stroll right into Ponyville with an army and making claim they would leave the ponies alone if they surrendered. But it was all a distraction so he could get to the theater. And now the group has followed him into this fairy-tale world where they're going to meet Shrek who lives quite an isolated life that will soon be disrupted when he meets a motormouth donkey and his home invaded by banished fairy-tale creatures.

And a Happy New Year to all!

Seems at the bad guy start with an advantage again, yet we are hitting the ground running with Shrek's introduction.

I feel sorry for Twilight. Between her friendship princess duties and film adventures, the poor thing has no time to relax. And even less if she also has to deal with a self-centered and power-hungry centaur and his army (who knows where he got it from). The good thing is that thanks to her previous adventure, she and her friends have the experience and strength to defeat a hundred men by themselves. The bad thing is that it was all a distraction, and Tirek has traveled to another world to look for Celestia knows what. They should improve the security of the Discord theater.

At least, this adventure will be in a more pleasant environment for Las Mane 6 and Spike, because in this world it is not uncommon to see creatures like them. Although, as we have seen in the introduction, they may have to escape from certain bounty hunters as soon as they arrive.

It's one of my favorite intros. The music, the humor and the presentation of the character. This film may be seen as a parody of fairy tales, but for me it is a revolutionary story that introduces us to a totally unexpected hero: Shrek the ogre. At the moment, we see that he is a guy who likes solitude, although the others don't want to be with him either. Since the age of 7? Poor guy.
After scaring those villagers away, Shrek thinks he'll be able to have some peace and quiet for a while, but he has no idea of the adventure ahead...or the particular companions he's going to meet with it.

I agree with you on that my friend. But I'm going to love the interactions between Pinkie Pie and Donkey.

Why are there so many people rp’ing and posting mini fics in this comments section?

11465561
Hey, Go for it! Love that Song! :pinkiehappy:

11465750
An adventure with Juniper and Wallflower? This is gonna be fun! :pinkiehappy:

11465639

Gabby: (To Gilda) “Better idea. Maybe we should forget the belt, and go to Discord’s Theater and watch our friends’ latest Cinematic Adventure.”

My hoof pops out
Me: An excellent point!
Gilda: Shut up!

Meanwhile, back in Ponyville

After everybody got settled down...well...most of everyone...

After being notified about the recent attack, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Storm Shield, along with their entire army of guards arrived in Ponyville to set up defense. Only it seems...

Storm Shield: (Sees Grubber hammering some stuff) "Uh...excuse me, Mr. Honey Badger?"

Grubber: (To Storm Shield) "I'm a hedgehog you fool!"

Storm Shield: (To Grubber) "Okay, okay. Yeesh! I'm sorry. But...might I ask, what are you doing?"

Grubber: (To Storm Shield) "Well, I thought it's pretty obvious..." (Munches on a taco) "I need more tacos and set the tiger trap to catch Sonata Dusk! Now if you don't mind. I'm kinda busy." (Resumes setting up his trap)

Storm Shield: (Rolls his eyes) "Gold fevers..."

Grubber: (Glares at Storm Shield) "Lousy OC." (Sees the taco he was using as bait) "Ugh. Where's a guy got to go to get more ta–COOOOOOOOS?" (Accidentally trips up his own trap)

Grubber: "Ooh...my legs...Hey! Some nachos!"

Meanwhile, somewhere else in Ponyville, hiding behind a wall of flour sacks, Tempest Shadow was looking through a pair of binoculars, when Shining Armor came up to her.

Shining Armor: (To Tempest Shadow) "Tempest. Status report."

Tempest Shadow: (To Shining Armor) "Our friends gave those knights an old fashioned butt whoop. They're resting, and recovering for another attack."

Shining Armor: "I see. Keep an eye on them, Tempest. And alert me if they're ready for another attack...I'm going to set up my shield." (Tempest Shadow nodded as Shining Armor took his leave to work his magic.

Storm Shield: (To Shining Armor) "That's all well and good. But even a shield spell won't stop an entire army of dark warriors..."

Shining Armor: (To Storm Shield) "That's why we have guards. Each and everyone of them trained by yours truly."

Princess Cadence: (Walks up with Flurry Heart) "And in case they ever break through the shield like before, that's why we're here."

Flurry Heart: "Although...something tells me we need to be more worried about what's inside, than outside."

Shining Armor: (To Flurry Heart) "Why's that, Flurry?" (Flurry Heart points to some dragons and griffons, who ransacking all of Ponyville, looking for Sonata Dusk) "Oh, Faust help us..."

Random Dude: "Me precious! ME WANTS IT! Where's me precious?!"

Meanwhile, hiding inside Princess Twilight's Castle, Sonata Dusk was curdling up in a fetal position, while holding onto her 24/7 Championship Belt.

Sonata Dusk: (Sweating) "It's gonna be fine! For realsies! Like Princess Twilight said...this is safe haven! It's like Fort Knox! Nobody will even know I'm here and..."

Discord: "HEY EVERYONE!!! SONATA'S IN THE CASTLE!!!"

Sonata Dusk: "Yipe!" (Feels the floor shaking as an entire stampede of greedy creatures with gold fevers on their made stormed the castle)

Gold fever mob: (Banging on the door) "GET THE BELT! GET THE BELT!!!"

Random Dude: "TIP THE COW!"

With that, the mobs tipped a minotaur and proceeded to use him as a battering ram.

Gold fever mob: "HEAVE! HO!" (Rams the minotaur into the doors) "HEAVE! HO!" (Repeat) "HEAVE! HO!" (Repeat) "HEAVE! HO!"

Sonata Dusk: "I have to get out of here!" (Escapes with the belt)

At Discord's Theater

(Where almost everyone are...sane

Apple Bloom: "I wonder where Applejack and our friends have gone to now?"

Scootaloo: "Wherever it is, Tirek can't be too far."

Sweetie Belle: "Well, whatever's happening, it's starting soon! Look!"

Shrek Opening

Capper Dapperpaws: "Hmmmm. Dreamworks?" (To Princess Luna) "Isn't that your kind of business, your majesty?"

Princess Luna: (To Capper) "Hmmmm. What do you think?"

Unknown location…

In the darkness, a single ray of light shined down upon a leather-bound storybook. The book opened as a voice began reading its text, further supported by the colorful pictures taking up each of the pages:

(0:47)
“Once upon a time there was a lovely princess,” The voice read. “But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort which could only be broken by love’s first kiss..."

Fillies: "AWWWWW!!!"

Colts: "Bleeeeech!"

Ember: (To Stone Cold Steve Austin) "You dragged me in here against my will from hunting a 24/7 Belt for this?"

"...She was locked away in a castle, guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon..."

Smolder: (Rolls her eyes) "Oh sure. Classic stereotype. Dragons used as guard dogs to protect treasures and keep damsel-in-distress hostages...just because we're bad."

Gabby: (To Smolder) "Well, to be fair, you do have a reputation when it comes to gold and–"

Garble: (Bursts through the theater wall) "Did somebody say GOLD?!" *Hic* "Where?! Where's the moola?!"

Discord: "Will you gold crazed fevers STOP BREAKING DOWN MY WALLS?! Phantom's gonna have to FIX all this..."

...And I'm still tied up...

"...Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed..."

Sweetie Belle: "That's awful!"

Steven Magnet: "OH! THE TRAGEDY!!!" (Bawls like a baby and picks up Cranky Doodle Donkey to blow his nose, before realizing too late) "Oops! Sorry Cranky..."

"...She waited in the dragon’s keep in the highest room of the tallest tower. For her true love and true love’s first kiss…”

Thorax: "That sounds–"

The voice gave a chuckle as a large, green hand ripped out one page of the book (A page containing a picture of a prince kneeling before the sleeping princess). And just as quickly the book sealed closed.

“Like that’s ever gonna happen,” The voice chuckled. “What a load of—”

Thorax: "Uh...what?"

Pharynx: "What just happened?"

Ember: "Sounds like somebody who agrees with me..."

Outside a wooden outhouse, with a front door with a moon silhouette cut out, a flushing toilet could be heard. The door soon burst open and out of it emerged a big green ogre named Shrek. Tugging his underwear and shaking his foot to remove a page still stuck to his shoe, he gazed lovingly toward the place he called home.

Somebody once told me
The world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed

Ember: "Huh. This is my kind of jam!"

Smolder: (Snaps her fingers) "Mine too!"

There stood a house which appeared to be a large tree stump raised from the ground (So one could see the tree roots underneath), covered with mold and grass.

Apple Bloom: "Uh...that looks...cozy?"

She was looking kind of dumb
With her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

It would seem to be the heart of the swamp of which the ogre resided in. It was a pretty nasty place, but he was an ogre. If there was one thing an ogre loved more than anything in this big, bright, beautiful world… it’s anything ‘nasty’.

With a deep breath and slamming the outhouse door behind him, Shrek proceeded to go about his daily routine:

Well, the years start coming
And they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart, but your head gets dumb

It began quite simply… every morning he’d take a lovely little mud shower, using a contraption of which he made himself. He scrubbed every square inch of his body with all the mud he was able to gather and even gargled some of it in his mouth. Not that it really did much of anything, but he rather enjoyed the taste of fresh mud.

Some of the patrons in the theaters were rather put-off by what they were seeing.

Capper Dapperpaw: (Cringing) "I've heard of mud bath...but that's just...wrong..."

Sweetie Belle: (Green face) "I think I'm gonna be sick..."

So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

Then when he was done, he’d proceed to brush his teeth. Using the juice he squeezed from the nearest bugs, he’d scrub his teeth until the very substance seeped into his teeth. He’d face the mirror with a rotten, cavity-ridden smile… and the mirror shattered into the pieces. But that always meant his method was working.

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid

Thorax: "Whatever that mirror was...rest in peace..."

Pharynx: (To Thorax) "You mean in pieces..."

Even though he’d already taken his shower, he’d dive right into a muddy pond for some additional bathing as well as, for lack of better words… taking care of much needed business. Those unfortunate to be ‘in’ his business, like a poor fish minding its business, was ripe for the taking by the carefree ogre himself.

Princess Skystar: "EW!"

Silverstream: "Ugh!"

And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Gallus: "I think I just lost my appetite for fishes..." (Silverstream looks at Gallus questionably) "Uh, fishes that I eat, I mean." (Silverstream smiled in relief, with a flirtatious raised eyebrow)

As if that wasn’t enough, Shrek would dig himself into a nearby log and push aside some muck that was forming up. If he were lucky, he’d find himself some fresh giant slugs to take for himself. However he’d do it, one thing was certain for Shrek: He would never go hungry.

Audience: "EW!"

It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture

The last part of his to-do list was what one would call a hobby of his. Standing by the pond while the setting sun was looming over the swamp, Shrek was applying the finishing touch on a wooden canvas of sort (Don’t ask how he got the paint). Once his work was complete, he picked up the canvas for a closer look, admiring the final results, and even gave a kiss to his masterpiece… despite the fact the paint still needed to dry. And then, he stabbed the wooden piece through the soil just a few feet from his house… which actually turned out to be a warning sign with his face upon. A sign among hundreds he’d construct around every square inch of his home, all of which for good reason.

The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I never get bored

In a nearby village, not far from the swamp, an angry mob of men gathered in the square. They were brought together for one reason and one reason only: To pursue the ogre Shrek and capture him.

Mayor Mare: "Reminds me of the angry mob we've got going in this town... All in hot-pursuit of one of our new residence's belt."

Pharynx: (To Mayor Mare) "Which was rightfully MINE."

Thorax: (To Pharynx) "Let it go, Pharynx..."

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid

That very night, they gathered their torches and pitchforks and braved the dangers of the swamp itself to pursue their prize. They paid no heed to all the warning signs the ogre worked so hard to put together. The mob trampled over every sign that was in their way, refusing to back down.

All that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

At home, Shrek was attempting to enjoy a quiet dinner that evening. A warm serving of food he prepped for himself (A bowlful of eyeballs plucked from rather ‘questionable’ circumstances’)...

Sweetie Belle: (Covers her eyes) "I don't want to look..."

.... and all the while relaxing over the warm glow of the fireplace. A commotion stirred him of his peace, and he approached his window to investigate. Looking around, he spotted the source: The local villagers, glowing with the light of their torches and the iron of their pitchforks gleaming against the flames. Shrek rolled his eyes, for he knew these particular villagers rather well and it was certainly not his first encounter, nor would it be his last. So, much to his chagrin, he left the house to settle some… ‘business’.

Hey now, you're an all star
Get your game on, go play
Hey now, you're a rock star
Get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold

Outside Shrek’s home, all the villagers gathered together along a brush. They were blissfully unaware of the ogre himself sneaking behind them. One of the villagers proceeded to pull back the brush, offering the anxious group a good look at the swamp. Before them stood the ogre’s dwelling, the glowing light of the fireplace brightly gleaming through the open window. They murmured amongst themselves, charting their next course of action… if any at all.

“Think it’s in there?” One villager whispered.

“All right,” Another villager spoke determined. “Let’s get it!”

But the villager barely took one step forward before the rest hauled him back.

“Whoa! Hold on!” Another villager warned. “Do you know what that thing can do to you?”

“Yeah, it’ll grind your bones for its bread.”

Gallus: "If his face doesn't kill you first..."

A chuckle caused the group to freeze briefly, before they quickly turned around. Much to their horror, Shrek stood before them, hovering over the frightened mob.

“Yes, well, actually, that would be a giant,” Shrek corrected amused.

Big Mac: "Eeyup."

Marble Pie: "Mmm-hmmm."

The mob gasped loudly and slowly began to back away. Shrek advanced toward them, trying to look menacing before these humans… and yet, he couldn’t help but attempt to make conversation all the same.

“Now, ogres, oh they’re much worse,” Shrek continued. “They’ll make a suit from your freshly peeled kin. They’ll shave your liver. Squeeze the jelly from your eyes!”

Audience: *GASPS*

Having said all that, Shrek quickly lost his menacing look.

“Actually, it’s quite good on toast—”

Big Mac: "Eeyup."

Sugar Belle: (To Big Mac, in shock) "Big Mac!"

Big Mac: (Quickly remembers the context) "Oh. Right..."

“Back! Back, beast!”

One villager screamed at the ogre, waving his torch against his face.

“Back! I warn ya!”

The villager kept waving his torch against Shrek, much to his amusement… but mostly annoyance. Casually licking his fingers, Shrek pinched one hand against the flame and extinguished the torch in seconds. The villagers gasped loudly as the village stared at his extinguished torch in shock and the torch slipped from his fingers.

“Right…” The villager said awkwardly.

Big Mac: "Nope."

“RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Shrek terrified the mob with a great roar, frightening all the villagers into a screaming stupor.

They ain't the only ones screaming. Everyone in the theater were all scared silly.

Audience: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!"

The spit and saliva spewing from the ogre’s mouth extinguished all the remaining torches and flew against those unfortunate to be in the ‘splash zone’… which essentially was ‘everyone’.

Shining Armor: (Breaks down the doors) "What's going on in here?!" (Sees what the commotion was all about) "Oh."

Soon as he was done, he wiped his mouth clean with one sleeve and waited patiently for all the villagers to stop screaming. When neither man could scream no more, they stared frozen with fright anxiously wondering what the ogre would do to them now.

Granny Smith: "OH!" (Clutches her chest) "There goes the old ticker..."

Eric Bischoff: "I need a new pair of pants..."

Shining Armor: "With all the screaming, I thought you were all under attack!"

The ogre leaned toward one villager and whispered…

“This is the part where you run away…”

Shrek laughed as the men dropped their torches and pitchforks. They quickly raced away as fast as they could until he could see everybody disappearing through the trees and back to the safety of their homes.

“And stay out!” He yelled after them.

Cranky Doodle Donkey: "My three words to Pinkie Pie..."

Matilda: (To Cranky) "Oh honey. If it weren't for Pinkie Pie, then we wouldn't have found each other."

Cranky Doodle Donkey: (Chuckles) "Well, that's one thing she did that I'm eternally grateful for..."

With the villagers gone, Shrek looked down toward the ground and noticed that one of the villagers had dropped something. He reached down and picked up what appeared to be a wanted poster with what appeared to be a bearded gnome or dwarf. He read the inscription aloud.

“Wanted. Fairytale creatures?”

Sweetie Belle: "Wait, what?! A wanted poster for Fairytale Creatures? As in...someone wants to hunt down all those cute and adorable characters we've read about in fairytales?"

Scootaloo: (To Sweetie Belle) "Or even the ones that Pinkie Pie made a parody off of, in her Pinkie Tales?"

It didn’t take long to dawn on what these villagers were up to: It wasn’t enough that these humans would trespass upon his private space; now they were hoping to capture him for a measly profit. He’d heard the rumors, that villages everywhere were on the hunt for fairytale creatures like him… though more pleasant and charming as opposed to ogres. Stories of people who would evict those very creatures from their homes, driving them away from their grounds, and those who couldn’t escape being sold for a few coins that would barely last a person for a measly day. All because whatever these creatures had against those authorizing the hunt, they clearly did not fit their ‘big, bright, beautiful world’.

Princess Celestia: "How awful!"

Princess Cadence: "Who would do such a thing to those creatures?"

Flurry Heart: "Well, whoever they are, I'm sure Auntie Twilight will put an end to it!"

All of which… was of no concern for the ogre. Shrek merely sighed and walked off, dropping the poster back to the ground while making his way back home. As far as he was concerned, he had no reason to fear these villagers. Not that he would ever actually ‘hurt’ anyone, but those bold enough to stand mere inches in his property and he’d scare them all away just as he had since he was seven. None would dare try to lay a finger on him, much less even dare to think to drive him away from home.

As far as Shrek was concerned, they can keep their big, bright, beautiful world. He was happy where he is, all alone and having everything he’d need. So long as those villagers actually paid heed to the warning of his signs, to leave him in the comfort of his own little patch of the world, it was all Shrek’s… and this ogre had nothing to worry about.

Queen Novo: "Phew! After all that excitement, I would like to have the Discord Special Potato Salad with everything please."

Silver Shill: (To Mina in the kitchen) "Mina! We need more potato salad!"

Mina: (To Silver Shill) "Coming right up!" (Picks up a tray of potato salad) "Oof! This is...heavier than...usual..." (Falls to the floor, spilling the potato salad, revealing that Sonata was hiding in it)

Queen Novo: (Annoyed) "When I said I wanted everything on my Potato Salad...I didn't mean a siren!"

Silver Shill: (To Sonata) "Sonata, what are you doing in there?"

Sonata Dusk: (To Silver Shill) "PLEASE! Let me hide in here! Please, I'm begging you!"

Mina: (To Sonata) "Don't tell me. Angry mobs with gold fever are hunting you down."

Sonata Dusk: (To Mina) "Yup."

Mina: "Resisting taco baits?"

Sonata Dusk: (Shrugging) "For realsies." (Her nose suddenly twitches and she sees...)

DESSERT TACO

*Hallelujah SFX*

What Sonata failed to notice was that the dessert tacos is tied to a string. She proceeded to chase after the taco, with Silver Shill and Mina struggling to hold her back.

Silver Shill: "Sonata! NO! Sonata! DON'T–"

Sonata Dusk: (Grabs the dessert taco) "GOTCHA!" (Was about to eat it, when–)

Sonata Dusk: "Oh no..."

Random Dragon: "Mine!"

Sonata Dusk finds herself in the middle of Ponyville, surrounded by every greedy dragons, griffons, and ponies...EVERYONE with Gold Fevers all have eyes on her...belt.

Mina: (To Sonata) "Okay. Don't make any sudden move...drop the taco, if you want to live."

Sonata Dusk: (To Mina) "Drop the taco? Why would I do that? That's like Aria murdering my tacos back in Gotham City all over again..."

Random Griffon: "Mine!"

Silver Shill: (To Sonata) "Which do you prefer? The taco? Or the belt?"

Random unicorn: "Bing-bong!"

Sonata Dusk: (To Silver Shill) "I choose both! The taco and my belt!"

Silver Shill: (To Sonata) "No! You can't choose that! It's gotta be one or the other! The taco? Or the belt?"

Sonata Dusk: (To Silver Shill) "I choose both!" (About to put her tongue on the dessert taco)

Mina: (To Sonata) "Sonata! Don't you dare–"

Sonata Dusk: (To Mina) "BUT HE'S SO TASTY!" (Proceeds to gobble up the taco...and gets pulled in) "WHAAAAA–"

And the mob attacked.

Greedy angry mob: "MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!" *HIC* "BING-BONG!"

Sonata Dusk: (In the clutches of the mobs, who threatened to pull her apart) "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Thankfully, Sonata was saved by the timely arrival of Isabelle, who fished Sonata free from the mob, and somehow managed to hold onto her 24/7 Championship Belt. Together, Sonata ran with Silver Shill, Mina, and Isabelle to escape the mob.

Sonata Dusk: "EVERY SIREN AND BELT FOR THEMSELVES!!!"

Dragons and Griffons: "MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!"

Trixie: "BING-BONG!"

Crazy Steve: "YOU ATE MY ENCHILADA!!!!"
