The door to the bank burst open as Pinkie Pie came out cartwheeling down the stairs with 17 sacks of cash and armed with a joy buzzer. Autumn Blaze and Izzy were also there, armed with, you guessed it, more joy buzzers.
The break in came surprisingly easy, as Izzy instantly picked the lock to the bank’s front door. Apparently she just knew how to make keys from scratch, a frightening skill to have on hoof.
After that Autumn Blaze melted the vault door open. What it lacked in grace and poise was made up for in efficiency.

Twilight Sparkle and 15 royal guards surrounded the trio of bandits as the princess gave her orders. “Stand down Pinkie Pie!” she shouted. “We have you surrounded!”
“NEVER!” Pinkie responded, instantly taking out a guard with a joy buzzer. He collapsed on the spot, despite the fact he was only hit with a very small number of volts.
After that, Twilight Sparkle was unable to deliver orders due to the trio’s incessant talking drowning out all noise in the area. As such, Twilight herself got nailed by a joy buzzer blow from Autumn Blaze and the trio escaped the blockade to raid a Hayburger.

Twilight flew after her targets in a grand pursuit, determined to not let her targets escape the long arm of the law. The laws she made, after all. She was the ruler of Equestria. But Pinkie Pie and her cohorts were fast, not to mention tricky. And to make things worse, they had the power of Hayburger on their side. However, Twilight countered by magically floating a massive steel bar in front of the trio to block their paths, which was conveniently sitting at a nearby construction site in Canterlot.
Pleased with this change of events, Twilight quickly began to trap the three in place with a barricade made out of whatever she could find in the area, swiftly trapping the three in a dome of debris. Soon, they were entirely covered up for justice to prevail.
Autumn Blaze just instantly melted through it, and the trio escaped without difficulty while singing about the power of laughter.

“And… CUT!” Discord shouted from behind a camera. “Great take, everypony!”
Twilight Sparkle walked over to Discord as he removed the reels from his camera. “I thought this was supposed to be an adaptation of Robin Hoof,” she said.
“It is!” Discord instantly replied. “Just in a more modern setting and with 3 Robin Hoofs instead of one.”
“Robin Hoof didn’t light things on fire!”
“I’m sure he would have if he could,” Discord reasoned. “He wasn’t a Kirin. Speaking of, great work on that, Autumn!”
“Thanks boss!” Autumn Blaze could be heard from afar. She was a bit busy telling stories to some of the other filmmakers though, so she didn’t come over.
“You’re just mad because your character is the villain,” Discord said.
“No I’m not!” Twilight answered instantly. “It’s just that this whole film is nonsense! They’re using joy buzzers!”
“Look, if Pinkie Pie is playing Robin Hoof, or one of them anyway, do you really expect things to be normal?”
“You’re the director, I never expected this to be normal,” Twilight countered. “I just expect there to be some semblance of similarity to the source material.”
“But there is!” Discord protested.
“How?”
“They’re robbing the rich!” Discord answered like it was the most obvious thing ever.
“Then why did they also rob the Hayburger?” Twilight challenged.
“Because they’re sponsoring the film.”
Twilight facehoofed.
Good old Discord
Okay, much like the previous chapter, this is fantastic. The idea of Discord directing a film just makes too much sense given his character and love of insanity. Even more so when you add Pinkie Pie, a very chaotic pony in her own right, as the main character in said film. I can definitely understand Twilight's derision to the whole idea, given that she is a very orderly pony who doesn't particularly care for chaotic storytelling. Regardless, this was really fun, and I hope we can see more unique small scale chapters like this in the future. Hopefully one with Sunny, as for some reason she didn't appear at all in this chapter.

For once, he did something good for a change.
Again, a rather amusing chapter. Yeah, given most of the cast AND the director, I can see where this film shoot would be (purposely) quite chaotic.
Hitch: I know what you mean, Twilight. But I don't get why YOU were cast as the sheriff instead of me. I'm an ACTUAL sheriff.
Discord: That's exactly why you WEREN'T cast, Hitch - it would have made too much sense. Besides, you would have had to find a sitter for Sparky during the shoot and I know how much trouble you have finding a good sitter.
Hitch: Yeah, that IS actually a pretty good point on the latter part.
Other possible bits: Posey verbally ripping into Spoiled Rich (she might be one of the few ponies nasty enough to actually deserve one of Posey's tirades).
The Crusaders teaming up with the Pippsqueaks to pull an epically funny, but ultimately harmless prank on Cozy.
Diamond Tiara and Sprout comparing notes on their mothers.
Opaline sharing a dialogue with the REAL Grogar (who is understandably upset by the fact that the writers chickened out on actually using him - going for that ridiculous "Discord in disguise" nonsense).
But I can completely understand if you don't like any of these ideas.
Anyway, really looking forward to more of this.
this almost reminds me of the infinite loops project and im here for it
HOw's this for a chapter, the mane six try to be "whatever gen 5's equivalant to youtube" stars with help from the mane 5
That is so like the Joker Style
Well that was pretty random but yet I kind of figured Discord was involved they were trying to make a movie about Robin Hood and apparently Twilight was not too happy about it although the end it was pretty hilarious
Hang on
now playing razormind
Now its a heist
