The Gang's First Big Heist (2/5)

16 Year Old Joe's POV (three years ago)

After what seemed like ages, me and Morgue stayed standing in the office. It had really just been twelve minutes, but even then it was a very hard wait. The office was very bland and uninteresting to look around in. A simple desk with some papers and a very strong, advanced desktop.

The man behind the desk paid us no mind at all. As if we were never here to begin with. He was also sitting in the only chair there was in the room. Leaving the two of us standing in place ahead of him. If that wasn't bad enough, there was only one thing all over the walls of the room.

Newspaper clippings. From every instance possible, there were newspaper clippings all over the place. There were enough to cover the window in the office and still cover a good percentage of wall around the rest of the room. All those clippings were taken from the crimes of all that's happened through them.

A story on the sudden town-wide power outage. The bank losing one-hundred thousand dollars. The local museum having a few small time ancient artifacts stolen estimated at the total price of three thousand dollars. Small acts of terrorism. Confusing car crashes where the causer used stolen cars.

Those were only the small news clippings that I could see the headlines of anyway. There were more that were organized crimes, yet all ended in dead ends. And since they were so ingenious, almost none of them got caught.

You see, since they had different groups of criminals or the simple lone wolves going out and doing the heists, no organized crime had the same Method of Operation (MO). So it was confusing, and couldn't be traced. Not only that, but the base was part of an office complex. Within a mediocre national business, they had a more successful criminal syndicate in the back area of some of their stores. Two per state, and that was it.

Finally, the man behind the desk spoke up. He never gave out his name, nor asked for ours. It wasn't important.

"Was the third person mentioned upon invitation?" He asked, talking about Big Mike. Me and Morgue came without Big Mike the first time in fear of him thinking he would need to protect us. It's times like this where less protection was safer.

"Yes. He was included." I said simply, knowing that only the direct information was to be talked about.

A few keystrokes on his computer later, and he spoke up again. "State the reason for applying for an assignment and the amount you want minimum."

This was where we were to be detailed and descriptive. Being the brains of the group, Morgue entrusted me into explaining everything.

"Precisely fifty-seven miles from this location, there is a rest stop that plans to be taken down due to the state not having the funds to support it. There is a fundraiser to keep it from being torn down, and it requires twenty-five thousand more dollars to meet its goal. This fundraiser has less than five days, and because this rest stop has some history with our group, we wish to help fund the rest of the finances. So with that amount of money, plus wanting to acquire five thousand dollars for personal finances, we request thirty-thousand dollars in total. Regardless of what task is that needs accomplishing."

While it did seem a bit unorthodox, it was perfectly acceptable to just come in and basically say, "I want to make ten grand." for next to no reason. They just wanted a reason for filing reasons. That way, when they looked at your record they could tell whenever you made an off request. For instance, if you're doing crimes so that way you can use the money to buy a new house, buy a new car, and then take a trip to Vegas, they'll put all of that in your record. But if you suddenly use your earnings for something out of left field like money to give to some suspicious friend, that'll raise red flags.

The man stayed calm and simply did quick research on his computer. No doubt looking up the news on the rest stop to see if our story checked out. "Alright then." He concluded, nodding at how our reason checked out. And then came a few more clicks and typing before he looked up towards us at the exact time the printer started working.

"Given your skill set and amount you wanted, you've been assigned a class three job. The client has asked that an artifact of some sort be obtained." He then pointed towards the printer, in which Morgue was closer and picked it up. Letting both of us see the picture.

It was a strange artifact to be perfectly frank. A single golden shoulder pad for the left arm. It looked like it was a single piece to a full suit of armor, but it also had another noticeable trait to it. Within the direct middle of the shoulder pad, was an onyx gemstone. Pure black, and clear cut to look like a gear cog. And if all of that wasn't odd enough, it didn't have a single scratch on it. A little dusty and dirty, as an artifact should be, but not one dent, chip, or mark on it.

And seeing our unsure faces about the quality of this perfect condition 'artifact', the man spoke up once more. "One noticeable thing we have noticed, is that every time we offer this assignment to anyone, they always act terrified and reject it. We're unsure of the connection, but regardless they always chose another-"

"We'll take it." We both said in complete unrehearsed unison.

I wasn't even sure why I agreed to it immediately, and neither did Morgue. If anything, the amount of rejection to this job should have driven us away. It was as if we had both acted on impulse to this. We weren't trying to prove ourselves to them, anyone above knows we'd never want to impress such a shady group, but despite the facts...We couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"..." The man stayed quiet as we both looked deep in thought about the whole idea, but eventually nodded. Probably thinking that we were trying to make a name for ourselves. "Alright then. There's no time limit to this, but don't forget the one rule." He warned us before opening a small cabinet that was under his desk. Pulling out a file and handing it to us. "Goodbye."

Knowing that we had nothing else to say, I took the file and put the picture of the shoulder pad inside. The details and briefing were all inside. All we needed to do now was read over them and plan accordingly.

We walked out of the office, and met up with Big Mike who was out in the hallway trying to start up a conversation with the guard who was outside our door. All he knew was that these people were going to help us get the money for the fundraiser as long as we kept it secret. So one promise later, and he stayed quiet about the deal.

He'd have to learn the truth about them later, but not now. Not when we were just entering the big leagues. "So, how did it go?" He asked as we all got in the van. I needed all the time he had to think, so Big Mike drove for us.

"Well Big Mike, it was...Interesting." I told him as I opened the file. "All we need to do is this one job, and we'll get thirty-thousand dollars. Enough for the rest stop and more."

"Really?! That's great!" He said in joy. As he started up the car, me and Morgue looked to the file silently. We didn't want to just start reading it out loud like an announcement with other people in earshot, so we silently skimmed over the files ourselves while Big Mike drove us home.

The heist was a simple one to be honest. Apparently, there was an archeologist who was helping to dig up a recently discovered site in Africa. It had a few odd objects, and this was one of them. Of course, we could only guess how this archeologist could get it for himself.

Already, we could feel justified for doing this job. We were The Honorable Thieves after all. Only stealing from people who were in the wrong or truly deserved to be knocked down a peg. To which this archeologist fit the bill dead center.

The backstory of this thing was that the artifact was said to, in what the archeologists could decipher anyway, "Help one who's destined to wear, unleash courage to surroundings." Of course, before it could attempt to be deciphered further, it was reported missing. A free cookie to who can guess how that happened.

The man was named Edward Costalos. And the heist was to take place at his mansion...Yeah. Because every honest, hardworking, twenty-nine year old archeologist could afford a mansion. Does this moron even know what 'subtle' means?

"Well amigos..." Morgue begun after reading it through enough. "It looks like we have a thief to steal from."

Blitz's POV

You know...It really sucks being a Cypony. I mean seriously, it makes you as resistant to water as the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz. Not only that, but whenever you wake up, you're instantly reminded of how your entire arms gone. A little painful, but you learn to adjust.

Regardless, it didn't really matter at this point. As I woke up, I saw that there was a simple flat, white ceiling above me. Plus, I could feel blanket covers overtop of me. I went ahead and made the connection that I was in the infirmary or something along those lines.

I glanced around the room lazily, spotting everything around me. Which wasn't much to say really, it was all pretty simple. The floor and walls were white like the ceiling, there was a single window with a thick curtain over it to guarantee privacy, and a white door to go along with the bland feel of the room.

Aside from the bed, there was only a nightstand with a single table lamp on top of it. There was also a ceiling fan hanging just above me that was where the light in the room mainly came from. That thick curtain didn't let too much sunlight through.

On the nightstand was my music playear, and my tail leaning against it. The nurses must've known that they could've been taking off. All that was left of the room besides all of that, were the sliding doors on the left side of the room. They were lined with mirrors, but because of the direction I saw the reflection of the door.

Still, not much of this mattered. I don't know how long I was out, but it however long it was it was too long. The others are probably getting worried about me being in the clinic, and we've still got to finish talking about the- "THE OTHERS!"

I immediately sat up, threw the covers off and instinctively reached for my tail. Grabbing it and jumping off the bed. Only to trip and fall straight to the ground. Of course, my mind was in overdrive right now, as I started to just get up on my own.

I got to all fours and tried to run forwards, only for my body to react very poorly. I was moving so stiff and wasn't going as fast as I usually could. I rolled my head, stretched my wings, even shook my front right leg. Everything felt fine, just a little numb if anything, so I couldn't be hurt.

Maybe being shocked by that glass of water and hit in the head with a dumbbell was making me act really off...Though, not enough to ignore how crazy that sounds.

Knowing that it'll be hard to walk anywhere, I test out my wings to fly in place. My wings work fine, and I could probably be able to fly in mid-air underneath the fan in the room and avoid walking altogether.

And that works fine. At least until I make the smallest movement by sighing in relief. This making my center of gravity send me forwards and slam into the sliding doors of the closet doors. To which I then slide to the ground before falling on my back.

"Ugh...That could've gone better..." I started to sit up once again. Intending to look for my tail before anything else. That freak of all things natural, unnatural, and even a freak for genetical monster standards had my friends somewhere in the human world. Two red flags already, and I haven't even started showing the Mane Six and Spike around Earth, or find those three.

I went to move my hoof to feel my head, knowing that slamming into a mirror had to do some kind of damage regardless of me cracking the glass or not. Only, when I reached my head, I noticed something else. My hoof wasn't hard like a nail anymore. All hooves were supposed to feel like a giant fingernail or something along those lines. But now, my hoof felt soft and I could feel my head even more clearly than I should have.

Because with that giant nail like exterior, it was very hard to actually feel anything with your hooves. So imagine my surprise when I also saw that my coat on my front left arm was a whole different color. In fact, it was actually the near opposite color.

So seeing that all of these things didn't match up, I decided to focus my sight on the mirror that was in front of me. I was sitting on the ground, so I couldn't see all of me, but that was fine. Just my face alone gave it all away to me.

"No...No..." I said, moving my hoof in front of my face to see if the mirror wasn't just some spell or trick. And upon seeing my hoof for myself, I got furious at the sight of it. "Dear Celestia..."

I quickly checked my metal hoof, and saw the same thing. It had changed just like my normal one. Not only that, but now you could obviously tell that it was artificial. When it was a leg, it was the same size as a normal hoof. But now it looked just like a Terminator's arm.

...Arm...Hand...Fingers...

Human.

I inspected my metal tail that I still had and just now realized two things that came with it. First was a tennis ball that was stuck to the base of my tail. Kind of like how people put tennis balls on the legs of chairs.

Seeing that some pony did that, I decided to take advantage of it. I started to stand up on my two legs and used my tail as a cane to help keep my balance. I might've grown up a human, but being a pony for a year makes you adjust.

Standing up, I faced the mirror ahead of me. Now that I wasn't sitting, I was able to see all of me. My skin was now a little darker than a farmer's tan, minus the artificial arm of course. This was the first big change I noticed about me. Before Equestria, I had pale skin. I didn't go out much either, so there was no tan either.

I also had on a pair of shorts, and plain socks. I didn't have a shirt though, so I was able to see- "My...Wings?..."

I instantly turned to the side and unfolded my wings, amazed by the sight of them. They were the most notable things about me as far as I could tell. They were almost as big as Princess Luna or Celestia's wings to fit my human frame, and still had their normal black feathers. Making them stick out like sore...Well...Wings!

Aside from my wings, the other thing that made me stick out from any other human was my hair. Instead of being darkish brown like before, now it was a slightly darkened yellow.

One other noticeable thing was that I somehow got more fit too. Before all of this, I didn't have any kind of muscles to show off. And with having to lug around a heavy amount of artificial body parts, it wasn't possible for me to be too weak. But despite that, I went from looking average to being a bit more fit.

I guess fighting bears, Timberwolves, Wild West Bounty Hunters, working as a construction worker, and being friends with six ponies and a baby dragon that always get in crazy situations does that to you.

Finally, the last thing I noticed was on my right hand. On the back of my hand, was my cutie mark. The same gear cog and lightning that came with it. If I had both my hands, I guessed that I'd probably have my cutie mark on both of them. But I guess my bionics were more than enough for my left arm.

Still, that wasn't so important to me at the moment. There was still the matter of that second object that was included with my tail. It was a small letter that had been taped onto the side of my tail for me to read.

Peeling it off, I looked at it and read it to myself:

Dear Blitz,

Sorry Discord knocked you out like that. He did not know that you could be harmed with contact to water.

We made sure that you were fine though before bringing you over to the manor.

And before you ask, yes. You are back on Earth.

If you open the closet, you'll see that there is a wardrobe of clothes for you to choose from.

Pick an outfit, and once it's on, simply knock on the door. Two servants will come in to help you with everything else.

Once that's all done, come out to the backyard. Me, Luna, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Discord will be waiting for you.

Again, sorry for Discord's actions.

Rarity's POV

"Ugh...My word. Did that brute really have to knock us out?" I asked groggily as my eyes fluttered open. "I mean honestly, that was just unnecessary." I said as I lightly rubbed the top of my head in hopes to calm the pain.

"You think you have it rough?! At least you didn't get hit by a bolt of lightning!" Rainbow Dash yelled out in anger, jumping up and glaring towards me.

"Oh, yes how silly of me. After all, how could a rock the size of my head be painful at all?!" I asked, snapping back at her. Of course Discord would hit me with a rock. It seems to be the only thing I'm tied to when it comes to that ruffian!

"Come on Rarity, you know as well as I do that Discord's ta blame here. Don't forget, he hit me with a bag a apples." She said bitterly.

"And me with a dictionary." Twilight added.

"He got me with a disco ball! But at least I got to keep it!" Pinkie cheered, pulling it out of nowhere before also pulling out her party cannon and loading the disco ball into said cannon.

"Um...Well, I, um...Just got hit by some powder..." Fluttershy said sheepishly, a little afraid that we'd be mad that she got off easy with what was apparently sleeping powder. But that wasn't her fault, so we couldn't blame her.

Of course, Rainbow Dash just grunted in annoyance. "Of course he'd let you off easy." She said before getting up and looking around. "Hey...Where are we anyway?"

"That's the first thing you'd ask?" Pinkie questioned. "I thought you would've started off by freaking out about your wings missing." Pinkie then pointed towards Rainbow Dash's torso.

"What?!" Rainbow Dash quickly, looked to her sides to see they were missing. And looking up, she gasped. "Your horns and wings are gone too!" She told me, Twilight, and Fluttershy.

We all widened our eyes as we checked ourselves. I moved my hoof up to where my horn should've been, only to find that it was missing like Dash had said. "Oh, as if it wasn't bad enough." I said with an annoyed tone.

"Still, I think we have bigger things to worry about. Like why we're in a fenced in area." Twilight said, walking forward. By the look of it, the fenced in area was as big as the main room in Twilight's library. Ahead of us all was a three story mansion, that looked very well maintained. It was secluded as well. So no door to door salesmares either.

From the mansion and off to the right where it passed the fenced area was an odd looking path that was a rather unappealing black rock-like color. With two completely different looking carriages towards the end of the path in front of the mansion. That was all we could tell however, because towards the back area of our little spot were...

Stables?! Three dingy looking stables?! Who did these ponies think we were, hitchhikers?! Stables like these were barely acceptable with nature walks!

"Who was so crude as to put us in such conditions?!" I asked in complete and furious anger. "Why, when I find the pony that placed us in here, I AM GOING TO-"

"Rarity! Shh!" Spike shushed as he put a claw over my mouth in hopes to keep me quiet. "You can't talk right now!"

"Spike? What's with the new getup?" Applejack asked as she and the others started to walk over towards us. "Ya look a might silly dressed like that."

As blunt as that statement was, Applejack did make a point. Spike was in some sort of skintight outfit that would make him blend into the ground. That is, if we were in the desert. "Never mind that. You girls need to be quiet right now. We can't let him hear any of you talking." He said, pointing off towards the side of the fenced in area.

We all turned our attention towards the way Spike was pointing, only to see a very odd sight. It was some sort of skinny looking creature in these very dirty clothes. It had on gardening boots, an old looking cap on its head, a dull grey shirt, and some other piece of clothing for its lower body. It looked like it was made of the same material as overalls.

Oh, and the creature seemed to be riding some odd device of some sort. It was bright red and rolled around the ground by itself. No magical aura surrounding it, no ponies or animals pulling it, and the thing didn't look to be paddling it exactly. It's leg was resting on a peddle, sure, but it wasn't doing much else.

That's when the creature looked turned the wheel on the machine. To which the machine then turned in the same direction as the wheel, which was towards us. It looked towards us with a confused face, to which we returned a similar look on our faces as well.

"Remember, don't say a word." Spike reminded us, standing on the ground on all fours as the creature kept coming towards us. As he neared the fence, he slowly turned and slowed down the machine somehow. Thus stopping in front of us and beside the fence and making the machine quiet down by taking out a small metal trinket of some sort.

After studying all of us for so long, it scratched its chin with its...Is that a paw, or a claw? Whichever, he scratched his chin, and then finally spoke up. "Dear God, why does Ms. Solar have these things in her yard?" As saying that, I realized that its voice was quite similar to a stallion's voice. So I assumed that it was a male...Whatever it was.

And as soon as he finished saying that, Spike stuck out his tongue a bit and made a slight hissing sound. Making all of us look towards him confusedly. This including the creature.

"And why does she have a baby komodo dragon in that pin? He can run outta there any minute." He said to himself. "Hope it's smart enough to walk in front a the mower. Er else it'll take a ton a explainin'..." he said worriedly.

This caused me, Fluttershy, and Twilight to back away from him slowly. Spike just looked away and slowly made his way into one of the stables. Hissing at Rainbow Dash in hopes that she would get the hint and not speak up. Applejack was giving the creature a frown before turning away and shaking her head a little.

"And why's that one wearin' a hat. Looks like she's all dressed up compared ta the others." That's when AJ turned around with an angry look on her face. But when she say me and the others shake our heads no, she just snorted in anger and walked off as well.

All that left, was Pinkie. Who was...Walking right up to the creature with a smile on her face. "Huh...This one looks friendly." He remarked, reaching out to pet her. "Good girl...Still, what's all these pony things doin' here? And why were they painted the colors of the rainbow..." Then he looked towards Rainbow Dash. "Or...All the rainbow..."

Rainbow Dash looked ready to pounce on him, but the rest of us were silently snickering to ourselves.

Though, as soon as the mood had seemed to lighten up, we all stiffened at the sound of something very loud and new to us. It was a sound that sounded much like the machine he was riding, except three or four times louder.

"What in the world..." The creature said as he got off his red machine and looked around. Only to raise an eyebrow as something came towards all of us. It was two more odd machines. One was a dark blue color and had two wheels and another creature riding on top of it. It had a similar article of clothing as the creature in front of us, along with a white shirt with an ordinary shield on the front, and a blue jacket with a black strip along the middle. The bigger difference, was that it had an odd looking helmet on that looked too big to fit on a normal sized head.

The other machine was much like the first human that was in front of us. It had four wheels, but looked like it was made for speed and was much more interesting than the red machine. It was pure black and shined. While the human on top wasn't wearing a helmet, but a simple cap on his head. It had similar lower body clothing like the others, and a pure black jacket on which was zipped up.

The two new humans went impressively fast, and were navigating the land around us skillfully. I could tell that Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were amazed with the speed just by looking at their expressions. I couldn't blame them though, it was interesting to say the least.

They continued to ride around the yard for a good full minute, going around trees and doing a few small jumps from the bumps and little hills around the yard. After that entertaining show, they slowed down and came to a stop near all of us. Both of them silencing the machines they were riding on before laughing.

"Okay, I'm not gonna lie. That was cool!" The one on the four wheeled machine said with a laugh.

"I know right?!" The other one said, opening the screen of its helmet so we could see most of his face through the helmet. "I can't believe she let you just start driving the ATV though!" Okay, so the fast four wheeled machine was called an 'ATV'.

"You know," The first creature started. "That may seem fun for y'all ta just ride around on yer motorcycle and four-wheeler, but it just means more work for the landscaper." He said, pointing to himself. And the other thing was a motorcycle...Wait, I thought the second one was called an ATV.

"Oh! Hey there Mr. Johns!" The motorcycle one said happily, talking with a very familiar voice.

"Hello Sloane." Mr. Johns said. "Who's this?" He asked, pointing towards the ATV one.

"This here's Zeke. He's...A cousin of mine." Sloane said with a gesture...Hold on a second. Zeke? Odd creatures? Machines everywhere? Why do I get the feeling that all of this is starting to-

"Shining Armor!" Twilight suddenly screamed out. Sounding like she had just realized something. But since she realized it rather loudly, Spike quickly jumped up and held her mouth shut. Sadly, it was done and too late to stop.

"What in the-" Mr. Johns jumped around to face us, caught off-guard by the sudden scream of attention. "Who was that?"

Shining went wide-eyed in his helmet and tried to come up with a lie. Which, might I add, he wasn't good at doing. "That-uh...T-that was-"

"That was his sister. She probably called out from that direction" Blitz, oh pardon me, Zeke said nonchalantly as he pointed towards our spot and the mansion at once. "You see, his sister and a few of her friends got back from...From...Oh, what was the name of it?...Whatever, it was some private school." He explained. Not technically lying at all. "And that's why the ponies are here too."

"Really now?" Mr. Johns asked, unconvinced. "Now why would a bunch a private school girls wanna see a bunch a wussy ponies?"

"Wussy?" Rainbow Dash asked angrily, to which a few of us silently shushed. None of them could hear us if we whispered, but we didn't want to take that chance too much.

"Wussy?" Zeke asked with a raised eyebrow. "You know, you'd be surprised how threatening ponies can actually be. They can go through some pretty harsh stuff. Besides, they're sure more impressive than that lame mower you got there."

"Oh, he's good..." Pinkie said with a smile, to which AJ and Twilight both nodded in agreement.

"Hey! What's wrong with Old Reliable? It's plenty good!" Mr. Johns argued.

"Well, you got the old part right anyway. Seriously, what year is that model? 2003?" Zeke asked, to which Mr. Johns looked down in defeat. "Seriously, I bet if we gave that blue one a push mower, it'd be done in ten minutes flat before that old thing."

"Ha! That was a good one right there." Applejack said, the rest of us, Rainbow Dash included, snickering at how he managed to somehow make a joke with Dash's usual phrase.

"Alright wise kid, did you just come out here ta mess around and insult my lawnmower?" He asked with an annoyed look.

"Actually," Shining Armor interrupted. "My aunt Cindy wanted us to come and tell you that she wanted to ask if you could just come back tomorrow. You know, with my sister coming and all. She likes the peace and quiet. Especially when she's reading."

"Well, well, well. It seems Shining Armor is doing a good job at this too." I remarked as Twilight couldn't help but smile in what he said.

"Well...I understand." Mr. Johns said, nodding while looking back at his lawnmower. "I never was one ta question Cindy anyway. Besides, I got a few errands ta run. Thanks for the news boys."

He then started up his lawnmower and rode it off onto the odd looking road. Zeke and Sloane sat on their motorcycle and ATV and just watched as he went down the road. As soon as the sound of the lawnmower had faded away, they both sighed in relief.

"That, was a close one." Blitz said in relief as he picked up his metal tail that was hiding on the opposite side of the ATV. He then got off and used his tail as a cane to keep his balance.

"Shining Armor!" Twilight said running over and climbing up the fence so she was leaning against it and looking over it. "Is that really you?!"

"Yeah, hehe, it's my Twily. So great to see you. Sorry you had to...Wait, hold on a second." He then closed the screen of his helmet and turned it to the left as if he was opening a peanut butter jar, then simply took it off. Letting us see his whole head.

His hair was a little less blue than it normally was, but in an odd way we could tell that it was him. What the clear giveaway was his unicorn horn. And while his coat was a pale-ish color, his horn was still its usual white color.

"Hey, do we have ta stay in this fence much longer? It ain't exactly fun sittin' in here like a bunch a wild animals." Applejack argued. To which the rest of us agreed with a group nod.

"Oh, hold on." Blitz took a few steps forward, making sure he had his balance on two legs before picking up his tail with his metal arm. And in one motion, he swung the sword-like tail down and cut both boards in one section of the fence. Giving us a way to simply walk out.

"Thank you Blitz." I said, all of us walking out of the degrading pin. And as we stepped out, our horns and wings came back to their rightful place.

"Finally! I thought I was never going to get these bad boys back!" Rainbow Dash said, flying up in the air to make sure that they were working just fine.

"Blitz?" Twilight asked, looking up to him. "What happened to you? And where are your wings for that matter?" That did seem to be the question of the hour, wasn't it? How did he become...That?

"He's a human." A new voice said, answering the question for us and earning all of our attention.

As we all looked, we saw three more of these 'humans' walking towards us. Each of them looking very familiar to us. The one in the middle had on a business looking outfit that was pure white, with a mane that was very blond. So much so that the sun reflected off of it to make it seem like it was the sun itself. And not only that, but on both of her paws were a mark that resembled the sun.

The one beside her was in clothes similar to Blitz and Armor's. Except her shirt was pink and had a picture of a heart with writing on it that said: "KEEP CALM AND LOVE ON" She also had on a jacket like Blitz and some highlights in her mane. On top of all of that, she had a ring on one of her fingers and a crystal heart mark on both of her paws.

And the final one looked like a fashion disaster with the shirt having four clashing clothing styles, and the lower body clothing having two styles itself. All while his...Human version of horseshoes, were made entirely out of wood. He also had very familiar yellowed eyes, and a straggly white beard to match. Though, unlike the others he didn't have a mark on his paws.

Looking at all these three, we all figured out right away who they were and possibly how Blitz had become a human himself. They were Princess Celestia, Princess Cadence, and Discord all coming towards us.

"Princess Celestia." Twilight said, bowing before her, to which the rest of us followed suit. That is, except for Blitz and Spike.

"Actually my dear student," Celestia said with a polite smile, waiting for us to stand up. "While we're here, I'm not known as Princess Celestia."

"You aren't...Wait, I don't understand." Twilight said, not understanding Celestia's little riddle. Neither did any of us, but that was probably obvious enough.

Of course, she only chuckled. Speaking to us in a humorous tone. "That's quite alright. I suppose now would be the best time to introduce myself then." She cleared her throat and then waved towards us as if we had all just met.

"Hello. I am Cindy Solar, and I work in the United States of America as a Secret Service Agent for the FBI. And welcome to my unofficial home, E Quest Manor. And may I be the first to say, welcome. To Earth."

---

And so, welcome! I hope you all liked the entrance into the human world. I tried to make the designs of human-pony hybrids interesting without going too far. As I've said before, I don't plan on making human-pony hybrids have weird toxic colored skin. The only thing that the hybrids will have different from normal humans is wings, horns, and the marks that are only on their hands. Not their rears.

As always, remember to check in with that poll on the profile. Even if those three haven't been included into the finale yet, it helps know who to focus on the most. So that being said, I'll see you all next time!

Goodbye every Brony!

QotC: What do you think of the human-pony hybrid designs? Better than Equestria Girls, as good as EQG, or worse than EQG? Remember, I haven't gotten to the clothing styles yet, so keep that in mind.

P.S. As a side note, I need some help with something. You see, I need some help with character designs. There are going to be human characters and when describing them, I'll need to mention their clothes. Describing guy's clothes, I can manage. But for describing women's clothes, that's where I need help.

So yeah, if there's anyone who can be some kind of advisor on that kind of subject, I need your help. Because I don't know anything and I don't want it to come off insulting or something.

Thank you, and NOW goodbye every Brony!
