(If you wanna see the fight with Nicko & Anson go here http://www.fimfiction.net/story/231530/5/swords-sorcery-and-shenanigans/chapter-5-self-vs-self )

"OH GOD PLEASE SOMEONE GET THEM OFF ME!!!" Yelled Amy as she tried to crawl away from her "personal medical team."

"WHAT ABOUT ME I DON'T WANNA DIE BY A GROUP OF FILLIES THAT FUCK SHIT UP AT TIME!!!"

"Amy hold still," Said Applebloom hold on to Amy's legs. "How can we patch you up if you keep moving?"

"Yeah we're your medical team that Celestia made." Replied Scootaloo.

"Sun butt you bitch I'm gonna get you for this."

"Normally I would be pissed, but right now I'm more worry about if we'll survive this."

"Now hold still while we inject you with this potion that Applebloom made." Said Sweetie Belle as pulled the syringe from the medical kit they had with them.

"W-Wait a minute what's in that?"

"Just some herbs, apples, and some random potion that we got from Zacora's place but I'm sure you'll be fine." Said Babs as she held Amy down. "Ok girls give her the potion."

"Oh fuck me side ways I'm gonna die!!!"

"I think we're both gonna die!!!"

Sweetie Belle hopped on top of Amy as she had the syringe in her hand. At that moment before Sweetie Belle could inject the mysterious substance into Amy, Yuri intervene before it was to late.

"Um girls not that I don't mind you helping Amy feel better and all, but don't you think you should use that 100% bottle potion that Amy has in her backpack?" All four looked at Amy's backpack to see the potion that Yuri was talking about. "Plus I don't think you should use something that you made without testing it on something other then Amy."

"Oh right hehehe sorry Amy." Sweetie Belle said as she handed Amy the blue potion in her bag.

"It's ok," Amy grabbed the bottle from Sweetie Belle as she started to drink it until it was empty. "just don't do that again unless I'm on deaths door."  The Cutie Mark Crusaders nodded in agreement as Nicko, Leo, Anson, and the rest of her friends walked over to where Amy was.

“So Anson… Mind explaining to me the story of where the hell you were all this time?” Asked Leo.

“Yeah, That might take a bit of time…” Anson said as he suggested that everypony to get ready to hear is story.

“It started early yesterday. I was found unconscious by a buffalo named Little Strongheart, who brought me to somepony in the town of Appleloosa named Braeburn. He was concerned that I might’ve been suffering from heatstroke and brought me inside his house to lay me down and cool me off. I woke up a few hours later when he was trying to see if my condition had improved. I wasn’t hot or burning up (no pun intended), but I was more confused on where I was."

        "Braeburn took some time to answered my questions before he had to go check on the town’s crop yield for the upcoming harvest, so he left me alone so I had some time to adjust to my surroundings and also my current position. That’s when I found my bag, skill book and almost enough supplies for me to travel for quite some time. My skill book allowed for me to use the powers I demonstrated earlier in my bout with my brother. Still, my time alone only lasted for about fifteen minutes when I decided to walk outside and see what the town looked like. When I came on out, everypony was rushing inside their homes and locking their doors."

        "For a minute, it was because I thought they were afraid of me. Turns out I was wrong. It was because of a gang of outlaws that strolled into town and wanted to treat the place like they owned it. So I did the only thing I could think of… Beat the living crap out of them. Once that was over though, I thanked Braeburn for his hospitality in letting me stare there for the time I was there and he thanked me for helping the town. Before I left, he told me that he had a cousin in the Town of Ponyville that might help me out once I arrived. So, I crashed here and when I woke up the next morning, I found Ms. hothead wanting to fight me.”

“Hey, in my defense, I didn’t know that you were a completely different person until after Nicko arrived!” Amy replied.

“Really now?” Nicko folded his arms as he looked at Amy. “You didn’t take into account the difference in clothes?”

“For the record, Rarity could’ve made you some clothes for the event.”

“What about him holding two swords or summoning other blades?”

“Learning some new spells?”

“I’m a Rune Slayer, not an Infinity Sword.” Nicko sighed facepalming himself.

"Your not the brightest one in the family are you?"

"Shut up."

“Hold on a sec,” Applejack cut in afterwards. “Who was the pony that Braeburn told you about?”

“Somepony that goes by Applejack.” Anson replied. After a few minutes, something clicked inside his head. The mare who asked him that question had the same description as the pony that Braeburn told him about the day before. “Just out of curiosity, would that happen to be you by any chance?”

        Applejack nodded as she adjusted her hat. Before she could say anything though, a letter appeared right in front of Celestia and Artemis. It wasn’t from Spike since it appeared in a flash of light instead of a green flame and it had a royal seal from Canterlot on the scroll of parchment.

        “A letter from Canterlot at this hour?” Artemis questioned as he looked at his pocket watch from his left jacket pocket. It was only a little after 8 o’clock. Who could be in such a hurry to send a letter to Princess Celestia and in such urgency as well. It was a mystery until Celestia opened the piece of parchment and began to read. Moments afterwards, her eyes widened just like the look on everyponies face when Nicko got shanked in the shoulder. Something major must’ve happened for her to be like this.

“Everypony… we need to go to Canterlot now.”

"For the love of god what's with all these pony puns?"

"Well you are in another universe that is similar to yours."

"I know but still it can be a bit annoying thou."

"What's more annoying is that we're gonna be stuck with Celestia in Canterlot."

"Are you gonna tell me why you hate Celestia Selena?"

".....I'll tell you why tonight, but until then let's head off to canterlot."

(Moments later)

   After waiting a few minutes the carriage arrived to pick up Amy and the gang to be taken to Canterlot after reading the letter that appeared in front of Celestia. Everyone was pretty much enjoying the ride towards canterlot, mostly cause of the view and surroundings that they were passing. Amy & Selena on the other hand were pretty much board out of there minds, and to make matters worse they were stuck with Twilight Sparkle who kept informing Amy about the history of Canterlot , Princess Celestia who was keeping an eye on her so she wouldn't try to make a break for it like she tired to do earlier today, and Prince Artemus who was busy sleeping during the ride. After a few hours of listen to her yapping, Amy decided to pester her if they were at canterlot yet, just like a child when he or she ask if they're at the location that they been waiting to get there.

"Are we there yet?" Asked Amy.

"No." Twilight replied.

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No." She said with an annoyed tone in her voice.

"......How about now?"

"NO! Ugh what is wrong with you? Were you drop on your head when you were a filly or something!" Yelled Twilight as she slamed the cover of her shut.

"Ok one that only happen.....5 maybe 6 time, and two I'm board as hell in this stupid carriage when are we gonna get to canterlot?"

"Well think of something else until then." With that she went back to reading her book.

"......Hay Twilight?"

"......"

"Twilight."

"......."

"Twilight."

"............"

"Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twilight, Twi-.

"WHAT!? WHAT THE BUCK DO YOU WANT!?"

"Are we there yet?"

"...Oh fuck me sideways."

"Again your not the brightest pony."

"This should be interesting to watch." Celestia said Mentally while she watch her favorite student strangle Amy.

(Molly's carriage)

While Amy was busy getting strangled by Twilight, Molly was stuck with the twin brothers. Normally this wouldn't be a bad thing for her, but if a certain little Infinity sword user wasn't in the carriage with her asking her questions about herself then she might of enjoyed the ride.

"Your not much of a talker are?" Asked Anson. Molly said nothing in response not that she would say anything, but she was busy playing with her 3ds. "You know it's rude to ignore someone when they are talking."

"........."

"Oh I get it your giving me the silent treatment for what I did to your sister are you?"

"........"

"........"

"Well this awkward, so much for idol chit chat then." He said mentally.

"......How long before we get to Canterlot?" Molly said asking one of the royal guards flying the carriage.

"In about a few more minutes miss, why do you ask?"

"3, 2, 1....and."

"SOMEONE GET THIS BITCH OFF ME SHE"S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!"

"I'M GONNA STRANGLE YOU UNTIL YOUR DEAD!!!!!"

"That why pal." She said going back to playing her game.

"Is she always like that?" Asked Anson.

"When she's board or has nothing to do then yes."

(Landing platform, Canterlot)

"So this is Canterlot huh?" Amy mentally said as she exited the carriage that was carrying her and Twilight. Normally to some poeple this would be a breath taking moment seeing who this was a castle sitting on a mountain and all, but unlike most people Amy wasn't that kinda of person. "I have to edmit this place is...ok, but I'm so fucking board."

"We only been here for about a few seconds, and your board that quickly?"

"Hey cut me some slack I'm a bit pissed off at what happen to day, and I just wanted to go back home and watch TV with Lyra & Bon-Bon."

"Well to bad for your plans little miss hot head, cause were gonna be here for a while."

"Oh joy I'm stuck in castle full of rich snobs."

      Moments after landing the chariots, Princess Celestia and Prince Artemis were greeted by Nobleheart as everypony stepped out of the carriages and walked towards the Royal Guard Captain. Princess Cadence was also there to greet them as well as one additional guard that dressed himself in a Royal Suit and wore white gloves over both of his hands. He was an earth pony with cream colored fur and a short black mane. He kept his arms behind him and stood in position like a bodyguard. Leo though, noticed that every once in a while, that this pony seemed to look at him. More likely, his arm.

“Welcome back, Princess Celestia and Prince Artemis.” Nobleheart greeted the Royal Siblings. “I presume that you received my message?”

“Indeed we did,” Artemis replied. “We came as quickly as we could. However, with the railways undergoing repairs, our only method to bring everypony here safely was to come by carriage.”

“I understand completely.” Nobleheart nodded as Everypony followed him through the city. Cadence used the chance to introduce herself to everypony, including Nicko, Amy and all the other humans. However, Amy’s reaction to Cadence’s title of “Princess of Love” was just a sly snickering and then Yuri smacking her over the head.

"Ow! Jeez what the hell was that for?" whispered Amy rubbing the back of her head.

"It's rude to judge a pony by their title Amy."

"OH this coming from the girl who thought Selena was an evil pony for past month and a half."

"I said I was sorry, but after reading about her from Twilight books you can't expect me not to judge."

"Well at least Molly, Lyra, RD, Pinkie Pie, Scootaloo, and Bon-Bon didn't judge her after she told you all her story while I was gone."

"Alright fine I'm sorry I smacked you upside your head, but that doesn't mean you had to snicker at her title."

"Oh come on, when your named the princess of love you kinda have to wonder what it means."

"Oh whatever." Yuri rolled her eyes at Amy's statement. "Just try not to make any witty remarks towards her."

"I make no promises, but if she starts to insult me then the gloves are off."

(Royal Barracks)

The Barracks itself was a two story building that stretched out quite a ways. It almost resembled a school building based on what it looked on the outside. Inside though was a different story. The entire bottom floor was a weapons locker and armory with the back rooms being a rest area/training room that leads to the outdoor sparring grounds. The top floor was a meeting room and also held Gleaming Shields and Noblehearts personal office. This top floor also contained the map room and was also where everypony was planning to meet.

As they walked on up, Celestia was first to speak as everyone was adjusted to the new room and comfortable. “Now, Nobleheart. Would you mind explaining more on what you said in the letter you sent to us?”

"Oh god more talking, hey Selena mind giving me the short version of it." Amy asked mentally  as she lean her back against the door way. As she closed her eye and reopen them she found herself inside her head. At first she thought it was gonna be nothing but an empty room filled with darkness, but to her surprise is was room that looked like the ocean at night just take away the sand and the moving waves.

"Well someone's been busy making herself comfortable?"

"I'm the princess of the dreams kid what did you expect? Plus I'm pretty much trying to keep a low profile so your body is the only place I could hide."

"Makes sense i guess, so what's the short version of why we're here?

"Well after reading Noblehearts I think I can sum up what's going on in a few words."

"And those are?"

"Chrysalis, stealing spellshards, and powering up machinery, enchanting weapons."

"Hm.....something tells me Eric's involve, and knowing he is, I might have two ideas on what he's doing."

"And those are what pray tell?"

"Well one would be that he's planing on either making a machine to take out Celestia, or he could be enhancing an army of changelings."

"You got all this from just those four words?"

"Well it's not that hard really. I mean think about it, why would changelings steal spellshards?

"Cause they need some kind of energy to replace the lack of food source which would be love?"

"No but that's a good guess. It simply means that they either want it to enhance their power for a full scale war.

"Or for some kind of machine that would be strong enough to take out Sun butt."

"Correct but in order to make a machine like that, they would need parts of some sort."

"Well they can't buy any with somepony knowing who they're, so I'm guessing their next plan would be stealing materials."

"Maybe but for now let's keep this to ourselves until the time is right."

"What? Your not gonna tell Sun butt about this?"

"Do you really think anyone besides RD, the CMC, Molly, Pinkie Pie, and Yuri would believe me?"

"Good point we'll tell her when the moment is right."  (Music ends)

Good now we better head back before someone smacks me upside the head again."

"Ugh do we have to, it's not like they care what you do." Said Selena as she summoned a door right in front of the duo. "Well besides your friends that is."

"Yeah but I don't want to be lectured by Sun butt, and her favorite human Nicko."

"Fine let's get going, but I still think this is stupid as hell." She said as she open the door.

"It always stupid."

(Changeling cave/HQ after the Vanhoover Beatdown http://www.fimfiction.net/story/231530/6/swords-sorcery-and-shenanigans/bonus-chapter-45-vanhoover-beatdown )

"Hm so Ciela and Luke are back huh?" Asked Eric.

"If you mean those humans that I told you that attack me? Then yes they are back." Chrysalis answered.

A devilish grin appeared on Eric's face as he started to walk towards the exit of the cave. "Chrysalis, have the changeling go and get the materials on this list." He said as she handed her the list of items that he need.

"And where are you going this time."

"Canterlot Castle were else?"

"......Are you stupid or something? Cause in case you forgot that's where those humans are at."

"Which is why I need to go there to get something that's inside of Amy Anderson." Chrysalis looked at Eric a confuse look on her face, wandering what he was talking about. "I'll explain you see I'm working on a devise that will allow me to take out Sun Butt, but I need a certain little item that Amy has." Eric pulled out a digital screen show what he needed.

"Blazing Heart's Pendent is what I need to make my devise work. Once that bitch of a princess is dead, you can rule over Equestria and I'll get my revenge." With a snap of his fingers he made the screen disappear.

"And what about the other humans?"

"You can do whatever the fuck you want with them for all I care." Eric said while opening up a portal. "Just don't get in the way of my plans ok?"

Chrysalis nodded in response to Eric's request. "Question how are you gonna get that item from her?" She asked.

"Hm I think I might know a move that will...handle it." Eric jumped into the portal leaving Chrysalis behind with a chill down her spine.

"Glad I chose to be his ally then his enemy."
