Dagger's End:

The Swine Tide &

The Underworld Uprise (Vol. 2)

Chapter 4

Seeking And Finding A Start

Dagger, was just let out from court, as he was told what to do, and found out were the Hogz had gone to. Wartguts's clan, had fled into the southern parts of Equestria, as they got plenty of information from a grot, that was captured, that had landed in the meeting room, when the four princesses and Shinning Armor was. The same grot, was found by one of the guards, as they had caught him, just before he could leave Canterlot, where the little green goblin got the message that 'it was time to go someplace warmy-like...' After that was said, Celestia knew that the Hogz were heading twords the desert regions, and possibly heading right twords Appleloosa!

Dagger, walked through Canterlot, as he was about to meet a guard that was outside of Canterlot, with all sorts of equipment and an Equestrian guard to help repel against the Hogz. "Dagger, wait!" shouted a mare's voice, as she came trotting down after him. Dagger, stopped and turned around, only to find that Trixie had found him, and had followed him. Dagger, found Trixie to be annoying, in a sort of way, but found her to be quiet friendly, as she had helped him several times. Dagger, had his helmet off, as he looked at Trixie, and spoke to her in a normal tone," What is it?" he asked. After Trixie had caught up to him, she dug her hoof to the ground, unsure how to answer his question for a second. Then she found her words, "... The great and powerful Trixie, wishes to aid you, on your on going trip, and will not take a 'no' for an answer!" Dagger, was surprised to hear this, as he didn't want to endanger the mare's life. " U-um... Trixie, look... Be reasonable... These creatures, are a very brutal race, and if I let any of them harm you, it would hurt me a lot more, than a few cuts and bruises inflicted onto myself... So please just-" " Who do you think Trixie is!? I mean..." snapped Trixie, as she cleared her throat, then spoke in her normal third person tone, "... Trixie, knows you are going to be needing my help! It is very kind of you to care for my life, but Trixie sees a foe that nopony cannot fight by themselves. So I shall be at your disposal of aiding you, in this battle!" finnished Trixie, as she gave Dagger a look, of caring for somepony, which would be no other pony other than Dagger. Dagger, sorta knew where this was all going, as he knew that Trixie, was just a simple pony, who wanted to get fame and fourtune on her side, or at least so he thought. " Fine then... But don't say I didn't warn you... Trust me, these guys are tough, but can be stuipid at most times..." Answered Dagger, as he accepted her, in his party. Trixie, smiled happily behind his back, as she wanted to look like a calm pony, to Dagger. The blue unicorn, eventually caught up next to Dagger, as she walked by his side, like she was his servant, or a bodyguard to him.

Just before the two could walk out of Canterlot's gate entrance, as infront of them was a guard as he was protecting a cart full of gear and equipments, the mane six had trotted up twords Dagger. Dagger and Trixie, had turned around to face the mane six, as Trixie's and Twilight's path have crossed, yet again, only in a more friendlier manner. " Hello, Trixie! Hey, whats going on?" asked Twilight, as she politely said hello to her. " The great and powerful Trixie, is going to-" Trixie, was cut off, as Dagger had his hoof covering her mouth, as he then spoke for her, while Trixie was going to say about her and Dagger going on a quest, " To entertain me, by her performance, along the way!..." smiled Dagger, as he didn't want Trixie to speak, about her helping him to fight off against the Hogz, as this could make them think, that Dagger was going to use ponies to fight for him. Twilight, immediately notice that Dagger didn't want to reveal, that Trixie was going to help him, as she knew that Dagger was going to need all the help he can get. "... Dagger, its alright! We know that you didn't force Trixie, to help you on this quest. In fact, we were sent here to tell you, that Celestia has given you permission to ask for help along the way, on your journey. If you like, we could send out papers of you, asking for help, to fend off against these... um... Hogs... right?" " Yea, but with a 'z' instead of an 's' at the end. It's their way of speaking and spelling." replied Dagger, as he was relaxed now. " By the way Twilight... Why would ponies, want to help me? Aren't they afraid to fight against these guys?" questioned Dagger. Rainbow Dash, then thought of something in her mind... What if... Trixie was not just going to help Dagger... What if... She wanted him... all to herself... Rainbow gave Trixie a look, as she didn't trust her now. Trixie didn't pay any attention to Rainbow Dash, as she kept looking at Twilight Sparkle, while she was paying attention to what she had to say. " Yes, many ponies are afraid to fight, but some of them are even more afraid to lose Equestria, and I am sure they would be happy to help you, to avoid that problem." finnished Twilight, as she gave a lot of information, for him to think about. Dagger, looked around, thinking of what he should do, in order to stop the Hogz, he would need a few ponies, just to out smart them all. He didn't need a lot, but just a few to get the job done... " Thank you Twilight... I think I will take up on your offer! I will need just a few ponies to help me fight, against a mob of these guys, but I certainly won't be needing an army to stop them." replied Dagger, as he smiled softly. " Great, then I'll start sending out the information, in the newspapers!... And I wish you well, on your journey..." spoke Twilight happily, " Thank you, Twilight! It was nice knowing you all!" spoke Dagger, as he said goodbye to the mane six. "One last thing Twilight!" spoke Dagger, as he was already on the other side of Canterlot's gates, as they were both already faraway from each other. Twilight, turned slightly, to hear what Dagger had to say, " Tell everypony to meet me in the center of Ponyville, if anypony is willing to join me." finnished Dagger. Twilight, just nodded as she then ran to the press, to inform them about Dagger's biggest hunt, to find the Hogz and their leader... Wartguts...

Dagger, finnished waving goodbye to the mane six, as he then turned around to see an Equestrian guard, that was infront of him. " Reporting, sir!" replied the orange skin pony, as his mane was a somewhat a dark blue. " What's your name?" asked Dagger, as he didn't want to intimidate him, as his armor has already spooked him a bit. " Flash Sentry, sir! At your service!" Flash Sentry, was a stallion who had joined the Equestrian guards, as he was promoted from soldier to security, recently, as he hope to even get a bigger promotion, in his career, on this quest. " Easy, buddy! You can drop the act, if you like to, from here on out..." spoke Dagger, as he already knew how it was like to serve as a foot soldier, back in the days of the planet's life, in Quantillion. Flash Sentry, breathed out from his mouth, relieved that this pony wasn't going to be hard on him, like training was back in his days of boot camp. "Well, were to? I over herd, what you said over there, and thought we might be going to Ponyville, am I right?" asked Flash Sentry. " You catch right on! I'm impressed." complemented Dagger, as he then walked to a wagon that was behind him. "So... What's in here?" he asked, " Princess Celestia, has offered some equipment, for you, if you need any..." replied Flash, as he looked at him, if it pleased him. Dagger, thought about it, as most of the weapons and gear was of no use to him, as he had already had everything on him, to start the journey. " I won't be needing most of these things, but I'm preaty sure you'll be needing it though." spoke Dagger, as he judged the objects in the wagon. "Sir?" asked Flash Sentry, as he wasn't sure if Dagger was serious about his decision. " Don't worry, my gear is already on me, you just don't see it yet, until I am in action." replied Dagger, reassuring Flash. Flash Sentry, wasn't entirely sure, but he took his words, as he the hauled the wagon with him, as the three were heading off to Ponyville.

Night had struck, as Pinkamena was reading the newspapers, about Dagger forming a small group of ponies, to help him, stop the Hogz on their big genocide, across Equestria. Pinkamena, then got up off her seat, in her dark, dimly lit room, and walked to a drawer. She pulled out a small mirror, that would be used to brush her mane, as she then stared in it's reflection... Pinkamena, had closed her eyes, then made her way into Pinkie Pie's bed, while she was blind... She then laid in the bed, then made a quick blink, with her eyes, then got back up, away from her bed, and opened her eyes. Pinkamena, now saw Pinkie Pie, sleeping on her own bed, as she smiled at her... " Sleep tight... and don't let the Gummy bite... at least... not much..." spoke the quiet, pink grey mare, as she talked about Gummy, the toothless reptile. Pinkamena, then quietly walked into her secret closet room, where the safe would be in. She accessed through her little security door, and went back in, and didn't come back out...

A few hours had past, as it was already morning, just as the sun was coming out... Pinkamena, had spent most of her time, in her secret armory room, that held dozens of guns, ammo, and gear that was enough for everypony, in Ponyville. She got out from the room, with a dark cape covering most of her body, except for her head, as she then wore dark glasses on her eyes... Pinkamena, then took off the glasses, and thought it would be too much to wear, as it would attract too much attention, " There, much better!..." spoke the cheerful dark pink mare. Pinkamena, didn't mean any harm in Ponyville, as she was somepony else, in another pony's body, as her old body was a corpse now, and that she had to find a new one, one that would suit her needs. Pinkamena, made her way out the door, as she had all sort of weapons, gear, and ammo tucked tight into her jacket, as she quietly made her way out of the dark room.

It was six-o'-clock in the morning, as Dagger waited for the recruits to meet him at the center of Ponyville, where they were at the the town hall, waiting for anypony, who was anypony to arrive, outside of the building. " Trixie, hopes that there will be a good amout of stallions, to help us in the quest!" stated Trixie, as she didn't like waiting for other ponies. " Yea, I hope so too. We are probably going to need all the help we can get, right Dagger?" asked Flash Sentry, as he looked back at Dagger, as he was right next to him. Dagger, had his helmet on, as nopony could see his face or his eyes, as his helmet would be able to beat anypony in a stare down, as it would strike fear into their souls, as if Dagger had none... " Leave that to me... I want to test each and everyponies' strength, as I don't want them running around, and fleeing, when I say that WE, are going to defend Equestria... All by ourselves..." replied Dagger, as he then spot the first pony to come across their location. Unfortunately, it was just the mail pony, as Derpy Hoofs, was delivering the early mail, as she smiled cheerfully. Everypony sighed, as they thought that they had saw their first pony, who was willing to help Dagger, on his journey... Then, a few ponies had marched their way twords the three ponies, as this caught their attention! There were mares and colts, as they had some equipment on them, as they made their way twords Dagger's little group. This made the three of them smile, as Dagger knew, that there would be ponies who were willing to fight for Equestria, in this desperate hour, of need...

Time had passed by, as Dagger examined a few ponies. Dagger, never removed his helmet, as he looked directly twords their faces, as most of them, avoided eye contact. " Name!" asked Dagger, as he spoke through his helmet. " Frost, sir!" spoke the young colt, as he looked at Dagger, straight in the eye. Frost, was a stallion, who looked young, as he had light blue skin, and yellow blond looking mane, as he carried a sword by his side, and a crossbow on his back. The stallion, didn't seem afraid of Dagger's looks, as he was surprised to see a pony with guts. Dagger, didn't have to raise his voice at anypony, as he spoke normally to anypony who wanted to join his group, as he had already knew that his outfit, had already scared a few ponies, away... " So... you are willing to help me, and save Equestria with us?... Why?..." asked Dagger, as he wanted to make sure that he had a good reason to join his party. "... Your race... I felt bad for them- I mean- for you, as I would like to help you fight, along your side. Plus, I would hate to see that Equestria couldn't fight off against these invaders, without the proper and right amount of soldiers to fight." Finnished Frost, as he hoped that Dagger would accept him in his group. " Alright, good enough for me. You may, go with the others..." spoke Dagger, as he then led his hoof, to show the way to Trixie and Flash Sentry, as the young colt went right along.

" Name?" " Booze... Mr. Booze..." spoke, an old mule, as he showed his face expression that he didn't care about anything, any more. "... Mr. Booze? Is everything alright?..." asked Dagger, as he wasn't sure if the mule, was wanting to commit suicide, or if he was just an old and cranky mule. " Yea, is something wrong?" replied back the old mule, giving Dagger a look, if he was going to accept him or not. Dagger, went right back on subject, as he then looked at the mule straight in the eyes, " Why would and old fellow sniper, like yourself, join me, in such a heavy conquest?" asked the dark red armored pony. " Cause I used to serve, in the mule army, back when your buddies were fighting off the zenoids! And I have plenty of experience, when it came to a war..." finnished the mule, " But ask me this, Mr. Dagger... Why did you already offer yourself, to fight against these brutes? Are you doing it to help others, or are you trying to look like some sort of hero, and take all the fame for yourself?..." asked the old mule, as he looked at him. Dagger, now had something to think about, as he then pointed a hoof, at his group, giving him a single to pass. The mule, then minded his own business, as he then walked slowly away from Dagger, and made his way twords his group, as he carried an old model sniper rifle, on his back.

" Trixie, never thought she would be seeing such an old dirt bag, in this group..." commented Trixie, as she was surprised to see an old mule, walking by their party. "... I never thought, Mr. Dagger needed a pony, to lie for him... Or do you do that for yourself?..." Finnished Mr. Booze, as he then was walking twords a wagon full of equipment, then rested on it, as he climbed aboard. Trixie's head began to bubble, as steam was coming out of her ears, then she tried to stay calm, as she let the mule's words just pass, " Hmph!" spoke Trixie, as she had let out all the steam, out of herself.

Another pony had came by, as she was an archer, as she had the bow around her chest, and behind her were arrows, that hung on a small bag. She had two bandanas matching the same colors, as black as her mane, as she wore a black vest, that had small pads on her, and in the vest she wore a black shirt. The bandanas, covered her top and bottom parts of her face, as she walked by, almost looking like a ninja. Trixie, thought of teasing the mare, as she then spoke to her, with a tease, " Got something to hide?... Or do you think you are too preaty, to be in this group?..." taunted Trixie. The mysterious mare, didn't say a word, as the color of her eyes were purple... No pony knows anything about this pony, except for Dagger, as her name was Octavia, the musician who plays the double bass...

Another, pony came along, as this one was an older stallion, as he looked to be as old as Big Mac. The stallion, was a dark orange, as he had a fire looking mane, as it had a mixture of colors, of the fire. The great big stallion, was about as tall as Big Mac too, except a few inches shorter, as he stood very tall and buff looking. This big stallion's name was called Brave Heart, as he looked tough and strong, as he had a long, thick, great sword, on his back, as it stuck out to be longer than him. Brave Heart, also wore some costom made steel armor, as it shined in the sun, covering his whole body, except for his head.

A mare, who is a unicorn, had made her way and had passed Dagger's test, as she smiled her way proudfully, twords the group. Her name was White Coco, as all she had for a weapon was a hoof held crossbow, as she pulled a cart full of kitchen stuff, such as pots, pans, utensils, and much, much, much more things as the objects towerd over her, as they always looked like they were too fall right over her, as they were all tied down, to the cart. She was going to be the groups' cook, as her skin was as white as Rarity's, and had small chocolate spots on her face, and on her hoofs, as she looked like she had always been eating chocolate, as the spots were actually spots.

Dagger, had already recruited close the thirty ponies, as he had only enlisted twenty-seven ponies into his group. Then, two mares surprised him, as he wasn't expecting upon their arival. " Rainbo Dash? Apple Jack?" spoke the confused colt, as Dagger looked at the two. Apple Jack chuckled a bit, as she saw Dagger, " We thought we would help ya, in this here quest, as Rainbow here had dragged me into it." Spoke the country pony, as she smiled at Dagger, " I just thought, that you would make a great pony, to help out Equestria! That's all!" spoke Rainbow Dash, as she tried to explain herself. " Well... None the less you girls, need to pass a test..." spoke Dagger, as he didn't want any of these two ponies, to join his party...

He walked up to Apple Jack, and looked at her, straight in the eyes, " Why should I have you, in my group?..." Apple Jack, thought for a moment, as she looked through her past, and through what her apple trees have seen, from the past. Apple Jack had the skill, to look through what the trees have seen, in the past, as the radius around the trees somehow recorded the activity of anything, that had passed by. Apple Jack, had learned this trick, from one of Dagger's friends, Tank, as he had taught her and trained her, how to use this skill. Tank... the name ran into her mind... as the Apple Family still had his grave, at their farm... " Tank..." " What?..." asked Dagger, as he wasn't sure if he herd the word... Tank... " Tank!... I would like to avenge, Tank... As I know well, that all the zenoids are already dead..." " Apple Jack, I won't accept this, and I certainly-" " Apple Bloom, misses Tank, Dagger!... Ah am trying to show my sister, Apple Bloom, that Tank means a lot to me, just as she had loved Tank, before and after Tank's death..." Spoke Apple Jack, as she tried to control her tone. Dagger, looked at her, with a readless face expression, as Apple Jack couldn't see his face. " Ah'm sorry... I didn't... I didn't mean to..." " It's alright, Apple Jack... I miss him too... Not a day goes by, as I would remember Tank... He fought hard, and tried hard... He even died hard, last time I remembered. I saw his body, as we all had walked through Ponyville, before we went to the Krystal Empire..." Spoke Dagger, trying to show her, that it was safe to talk about Tank's death, as he found out, what Tank had done for the three fillies, Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom, Tank's smallest best friend, was Apple Bloom... " Anyway... That's mah reasons... I would like to fight for Equestria, as well as I would like to avenge your friend... Please, accept mah request..." begged Apple Jack. Dagger, nodded at her, as he allowed her to pass, "... Hey wait! Don't you have any weapons to use?" Dagger spoke outloud, as he got the country mare's attention. She was already a few yards away from him, as Apple Jack turned around to show him, that she was actually carrying a shovel, as she pulled it out from nowhere, waving it at him, " We'll this work, sugar cube?" asked Apple Jack, as she carried the shovel in her mouth. Dagger, nodded as a reply back, as he then looked at Rainbow Dash...

" And you, Miss Rainbow... Why in Equestria, would you want to help me in this quest... Don't you have to take care of Scootaloo?" questioned Dagger, as he looked at her, straight in the eyes, with his helmet still on. Rainbow Dash, looked cool, as she showed her normal Dash expression, as she happily replied, " Don't worry about her, she is in great hoofs, with my friend Twilight!" replied the rainbow maned pegasus, as she still hasn't come up with a reason to join Dagger's group... " Ok... that's fine, but what about you? You still haven't answered that question yet..." growled Dagger, as he could almost tell that Rainbow Dash didn't have any reason, to join his group, as he thought that Rainbow Dash may lie, as he didn't know anything about her. "... I...uh... Was called in, by the Wonderbolts! Told me that I should help you guys out, with all this! Besides, you'll need somepony with a lot of speed in your group." spoke Rainbow Dash, as she quickly spat out the words, at the last moment, as she gave her excuse, to join Dagger's party, as she spoke quickly, but calmly. Dagger, didn't like the way she spoke, but wasn't going to even bother pushing her aside, as he could already tell that she would most likely sneak around, and would follow them, from behind... "... Alright then, come on! We have wasted enough-" just as Dagger was going to finnish his sentence, another mare was trotting twords them... It was Pinkamena, as she wore her black coat, as she got Dagger's attention from her trotting.

Rainbow Dash, just passed by Dagger, as she then made her way to the group, leaving him with no notice, of her whereabouts, as she carried her own sword. She got her sword, after the battle for the Krystal Empire, when the zenoids had their big leader, Zues...

Pinkamena, was now right infront of Dagger, as she didn't show any sort of smile. She just gave a straight face, at Dagger, as she looked impatient. "...Name?..." Spoke Dagger, as he looked a bit uneasy. Pinkamena, just looked at him, as she could already tell Dagger was testing him, with his looks to scare other ponies, using his helmet, as you couldn't see his face. " Nice Nightmare Night costume... Where'd ya get it, a cheap bit store?" spoke Pinkamena, as she wasn't too impressed with his outfit. Dagger, knew what she was talking about, as he then removed his helmet, as there was no point to use the helmet, as a test anymore... Dagger, had a serious look on his face, as he didn't want ANYPONY to go, without a reason, on his journey, " I belive I asked you first... so please miss... Name..." repeated Dagger, as he looked at her straight in the eyes, once again... Pinkamena, gave a sly look on her face, as he looked at him, " Pink..." she answered, " Thought you might need somepony, with a lot of skills... to help you on this journey... I also happen to be hunting, for pigs. I have trophies of all sorts of species of warthogs, and wild pigs, as I would like to mount these new ones, onto my walls..." Finnished Pinkamena, as she already knew what Dagger was going to most likely ask her, to answer a few qestions as to why would a mare, like her, would join in such a conquest... Pinkamena, lied to Dagger, as he fell for it and took her word for it, " Alright... you may come..." spoke Dagger, as he didn't like her personality, and what she wore, as if he saw right through her. Dagger's group had now twenty-nine ponies, and one old veteran mule, as they all made their way down south, as Flash Sentry hauled the wagon, full of gears and weaponry.

Baltimare, a big harbor filled with shows, entertainment, and lost of salors, traders, and especially pirates, who hid in the city, as they would hide from Equestrian guards... Kora, was trying to find this 'Doctor', as she hid in the shadows in alleys, roof tops, and other pathways that would keep her from being spotted... " I can... tell... that something is about to happen... but I don't have any clue where this 'Doctor' might be..." Kora spoke to herself, as she could somehow sense their presence, near by... She was trying to hunt down Doctor Whooves, and question him as to who was he protecting, if he was protecting somepony... Who ever that somepony was... she had to hunt down that pony, as she would make her father happy... Kora, was on the roof tops, where she was able to look up high on the roof, as she would spy on everypony down below her. Everypony looked like they were having a good time, as they passed by each other, often talking to friends and dealers, as there was a lot of business in the air. "... Hey! What are you doing up here!" shouted a stallion. Kora, turned around, only to find that there were three Equestrian guards surrounding her. The guards, were armed with swords, as they looked at her, knowing that she was possibly a danger to them. " Can I help you?..." Spoke Kora, as she pulled her sword out infront of them. The guards stopped proceeding twords her, as they saw her mystical glowing sword, next to her. " Put your weapon away, and lets see some identity!... Do not comply now, and we'll have you arrested." replied one of the guards, as he dared to make his way twords her. Kora smiled, as she gave a sly look at them. None of the guards were going anywhere alive, she thought in her mind... She then pointed one of her hoofs, at the closest guard, as he approached to her carefully, and pulled her arm back, as if she was commanding something to follow her. Suddenly, the closest guard flew twords Kora, as she had stabbed the guard, straight in the gut section, only to now have her blade coming out from the other end. Kora, then pulled her sword out from the slain guard, and looked at the other two, while the corpse of the guard dropped dead infront of her. " Who's next?..." Kora, spoke like a killer, as she looked at the two, " Quick, get her!" Shouted one of the guards, as the two charged at her, with their swords. Kora, moved her hoofs a bit, only to get the two stallions flying up into the air! " What trickory is this!?" alarmed a guard, as the two floated in the air, by Kora's powers. Kora, didn't bother to answer, as she then slammed the two onto the ground, several times, then flung them off from the roof, where they would fall to their deaths. The two gaurds cried, as they flew off from such rappid speed. Kora, then hopped off the roof she was on, as she lept on to another building. She was making her way twords the harbor, as her instincts were telling her, that she was getting close to her target, as she could hear a small fight going on, as she made her way to the ship yards...

A fight had started, as the Equestrian guards were trying to put an end to a gang that had it's allegiance, to King Sombra, as they fought hard against the guards. " King Sombra, will see you burned!" Shouted a dark pony, has he just killed a guard, stabbing him on the back of his neck, then ran twords his next target, which was an archer. The battle took place, around ship harbor, as ponies were fighting on the piers, and sometimes on some of the boats. King Sombra's small gang, was assigned to attract some attention, as a terrorist group, as they would show ponies around them, that the war was coming... " King Sombra, brings war unto your lands! He will conqure, this day, when he arrives!" shouted a mare, as she was fighting against a sergent, as their swords had collided with one another. Kora, had hopped into the middle of the fight, as King Sombra's assassins spot her, as well did the guards, as both sides thought that she was on the opposing side. Soon, guards and dark pony assassins had picked a fight against her, only to be cut into pieces by her skills with a sword. Kora's way of using her magical light sword, was to use it to defending herself against most ranged attacks, such as magic, arrows, dragon's fire breath, and many others, as the attacks would go directly back at the attacker, hopefully killing them, depending on how the attacker reacts. Kora's sword was also able to cut through most objects, as it had a sharp magic touch, making the sword to not have the need to be sharpen. Kora, used her powers a lot, whenever she fought, as she could overpower anypony using her abilities, no mater how strong they were or how well they would use their magic, as Kora didn't need any magic of any sort. Just her sword, with a bit of magic, was good enough for her to pummel her enemies to the ground.

The fight didn't last long, when Kora had made her way into it. She pushed everypony, with her powers, and had flung everypony around. She also electrocuted them! She even used some sort of gripping powers, to choke them, and even used huge objects such as small ships, to crush a group of ponies, as this made a lot of noise around them. The whole harbor was left a mess, ever since Kora was there, as some ships were on the harbor, and pony bodies and crates were left all over the place... Kora, was walking through the harbor, as she looked around the mess, that she had created, searching for the Doctor, as he was nowhere to be found. Then, a gust of wind blew into Kora's face, as she had to close her eyes a bit, as her mane wipped her face a bit. She looked to where the wind was blowing suddenly, and had found what she was looking for... Infront of her, on a pier... was the Doctor, as he had half of his body out from a phone booth... And next to the phone booth... was nopony else, but... Starswirl the Bearded!...

Kora, hid quickly, as she poked her head out, slowly... She hid behind a few crates, as the big crates were halfway in the serface of the peir, as it probably held a hug supply of eggs, spices, or even a live animal, as it was probably already dead, from the impact, by Kora using her unusal powers... Kora, saw the pony of who she thought was Doctor Whooves, as she then spotted Starswirl. Kora, smiled with excitement, after she now knew who the target was. The Doctor, then went right back into his blue phone booth, and the whole booth sparked a few times, then disappeared into thin air... leaving no trace of the Doctor... Kora, then thought it would be the right time to reveal herself, as she then headed twords the old wizard, walking normally, but quietly, as she snuck behind him...
