Standing in the library next to Twilight I casually searched the internet on the rather ancient looking computer. I mean, big monitor huge tower, slow as fuck… by my day in age, you could search the web via a small camera implanted in the body and a wireless router to the brain.

I passed on those options.

My suit could bring down the entire power grid before this thing loaded a single webpage. Giving up, I turned to face Twilight, who sat nearby writing down something on a sheet of paper. Spike and Serenity casually searched the shelves for their next piece of reading material.

Leaning back in my chair I asked what Twilight was doing. She said she was making a list for the best ways to make friends! She also said that she needed people to like her if she was to have any chance at winning the crown for the Fall Formal. Letting out an amusing huff I went back to the computer. Searching the mass of information, a link caught my eye. Clicking on it, a video with an article came up.

Hero or Terrorist?

The article would go on to talk about the heroism we performed the day prior… and the attack on the officers. Frankly, we were defending ourselves. I know for a fact they would have tried to attack us the minute we turned our backs and they would have probably started shooting the minute we took off. Besides, they should be glad they’re alive. Reading on, there were quotes saying, “I don’t know who they are but they’re heroes!” or “They attacked those innocent officers for no reason!”. Reading further I finished and started to read the comments.

Some were pretty amusing.

Government agents, mercenaries, superheroes, secret terrorist project, time travel. Well the last one was partially true. Laughing them off I closed the link and killed the computer before slapping Twilight on the back and gathering Spike and Serenity. Walking out of the library the halls were filled with students going on about their business.

Until they started pointing, laughing, and talking quietly.

Furrowing my brow in utter confusion I mouthed, “What the hell?”

The further we walked the worse things got.

“Why is everyone looking at me funny? WOAH!!!” Twilight asked before being yanked into a nearby classroom. Turning to face the area in question the first thought that went through my mind was someone intended to hurt her. That was until both Serenity and I were dragged in ourselves. Whoever had us had one hell of a grip too! Twilight was leaning against a counter in the room while Serenity and I stumbled in before crashing into two separate desks and onto the floor.

“Alright, someone is getting an ass whooping!” I angrily said while sitting up.

The sound of the door slamming shut caught our attention. Leaning against it was a snow white girl in purple boots and a matching skirt with a light blue top. She stood there for a second while Twilight went on a confusing babble.

“I uh, who the, what the… Rarity?”

The girl in question quickly ran over to Twilight and started to take measurements of every part of Twilight's body with a cloth measuring tape. Once she was done she stood there in thought with a hand to her chin before ‘aha-ing!’ and going over to her bag. Bending over and reaching in she pulled out a few pieces of clothing before holding up a green dress.

“Perfect!”

Running over she slipped the dress over Twilight's head. She went from her light blue shirt with ribbon bow, dark purple skirt, and purple boots to a blonde in an all green dress and matching boot covers.

“Oh yes this is good!” Rarity said while walking around Twilight and examining her new look.

“Ohhhh…”

A moan caught my attention. Turning around I saw Serenity leaning over a desk. Standing up I walked over and helped her to her feet. Standing up herself she held a hand to her head.

“Ohhh… did anyone get the number on that ship?”

“Don’t tell me you hit your head?” I asked with a worried and annoyed tone.

She groaned again, “… Probably…”

Looking to the side I took a defensive step back as Rarity was less than six inches from my face.

“Can I help you?” She didn’t answer before she lifted my arm and started taking measurements. Much like her pony self, she was very intent on doing what she was doing. It wasn't until she moved to my waist that I said something. “Okay, now I feel violated!” I said while pushing her away from me.

“What? Do you have a problem with the way I look?” she asked, hurt while crossing her arms in front of her chest and turning her head to the side and closing her eyes.

“No,” I replied, “I don’t like you being that close to my junk.”

“Oh puh-lease!” she retorted with an exaggerated head tilt, “With a body like that you probably let all the pretty girls near there.” She leaned in close to me, “Now that I mention it…” she started to blush and bite her lip, “You are rather attractive!” she said while hugging my arm and tracing a figure down my chest.

“Serenity?”

“You are on your own big bro!” she said while holding her hands up and walking past me.

‘Slowly puts gun to head…’

The door knob to the room clicked and turned before Applejack stepped in and looked around for a second before she focused on Twilight. With Rarity shill groping me I didn’t have much else to do other than stand there and start making up excuses.

‘AAAAAAAnd… BANG!’

“There you are Twilight!” Applejack said happily, “I’ve been looking all over for you.”

Shortly after her, Fluttershy poked her head in, “Me too.”

Pinkie defied gravity and poked her head in hanging for the ceiling, “Me three!” Randomly disappearing from the doorway, she skipped in. Pinkie hopped over to Twilight and gave her a heavy looking over, “I like your new outfit!”

“So much for the disguise…” Rarity moped into my chest. “But I do have an eye for these types of things!” she said, the anger in her tone rather clear while she leaned away from me, “Like you seem to care…” she snuggled up to my chest again.

“WHAT!?”

“Why do you think she doesn’t care?” Twilight innocently asked. Pinkie was biting her upper lip with her eyes shut very tightly, and her fists clenched tightly in front of herself. She was ready to explode while Applejack stood behind her waving both hands in front of her neck and a ‘don’t do it!’ look. Behind her Fluttershy stood there nervously with her hands in front of her mouth. “No, never mind!” Twilight waved her hands, “Why were you looking for me?” she asked while taking off the blonde wig she was wearing and holding up a hand, “What’s going on?”

Everyone nervously winced while the three of us stood there like idiots.

“Ohhhhh… she hasn’t seen it yet?” Fluttershy nervously said.

“Seen what?” I asked.

Pinkie randomly pulled out a pink laptop and set it on a nearby desk, opened it and pulled up a video while we all stood around and watched.

“Ohhhhh it’s really not that bad…” Pinkie said while starting the video.

It would go on to portray Twilight as this dumb, repulsive and all around ignorant student. I recognized the voice as Sunset Shimmer as the narrator. I will not lie that she. Was. Ruthless. This started to solidify more and more that this Sunset owned this school.

Twilight gasped in horror “Uh… I…” she closed the laptop and placed her hands on her head.

Taking advantage of my momentary freedom from Rarity I grabbed Serenity and dragged her over to the other side of the room.

“You were supposed to watch her!” I quietly and harshly chastised.

“I did!” she shot back, “We were in the library all day!”

“Well were fucked now!” I said angrily while holding my arm out in the direction of the laptop. “Everyone has to have seen this!”

“Well you can’t scream at me when whoever took the video didn’t do anything wrong!”

I gave an exhausted sigh, “Maybe we should just take the crown…”

THUNK!

Hollow… like a coconut.

No I’m kidding. The sound of Twilight’s head on a wood desk stopped our argument.

“We’ll talk about this later…”

Looking over we watched Fluttershy leaning down at Twilight's level and scolding Pinkie about not taking anything seriously. That’s when the accusations started flying. Rarity went on to say that Pinkie was no better than Fluttershy. Pretty soon all three of them started an arguing fit that no one could understand. Fingers were pointed hands were held high and clenched into fists. I was about ready to say 'fuck it' and start placing bets.

Eventually Applejack broke the silence and told them to just move on. That remark eventually led to her apparent incident with Rainbow Dash. She explained how Dash made I liar out of her. Her excuse was 'it was different', which led the girls to say that it wasn’t.

Then to more arguing.

Twilight's apprehensiveness eventually turned to anger.

“STOOOOOOOP!!!” she yelled while partially getting out of the desk, “All of you!”

“Thank you…” I muttered.

“MINE!”

Rarity is like a blood sucking leech… Attaching herself back to my arm, Rarity pressed herself into my side. I groaned again while the girls just watched me. All of them slightly jealous.

“What? Y’all like city girls more than country?”

“Applejack, I am not answering that…”

“ANYWAY!” Twilight interrupted, “I want to show you something,” she said while reaching under the desk. From the distance I watched a paw stick out of her backpack and hand her a book. Holding up the blue book she placed it on the table and opened it to where it was tabbed. “You were friends once…”

Looking at the picture it showed the five teen girls in the room sitting on a bench with smiles on their faces. But they were clearly a few years younger than they are now.

“The freshman fair… y’all remember?” Applejack said quietly, reminiscing to the memory.

They all gave a small nod and a murmur in agreement to the memory. Twilight closed the book, placed her elbow on the table and interlaced her fingers and placed her chin on them.

“But something happened… I think that something was Sunset Shimmer.”

Letting go of my arm, Rarity walked over to Twilight, “Well it’s a nice theory darling but Sunset had nothing to do with it!”

Taking my freedom, I left the room. Closing the door, I sighed.

“That’s the last thing I need!”

Looking down the hall I started walking. Two days in and shit already hit the fan. Twilight is the talk of the school and the actions Serenity and I did the day before has gather the attention of the entire country! At this point I just wanted to get the crown and demolish that stupid mirror. The planet isn't ready for alternate universes, space ninjas, and magic.

“Please… just let me go!”

Well the sound of that distressed voice caught my attention.

“What are you going to do about it, walleyes?” A male voice said, insultingly.

Speeding up I followed the insults as they came. Most of them were, retard, walleyes, idiot, and so on. Rounding a final corner, I saw two young men standing in front of a set of lockers. In front of them, pinned to the lockers was a grey skinned girl. She wore a blue shirt, with a yellow tie, a simple green skirt with a white belt, white socks with a yellow top and green sandals with orange straps.

“You’re such a cluts!” one of the boys insulted.

The second one flicked her on the head, “Yeah! Now where’s our money?”

Groaning I started walking up to them while they continued to poke and jab at her.

“I-I don’t h-have any!” she stuttered while holding up her hands to protect her face.

“Well… looks like we need to teach you a lesson then!” one of the boys said while holding up a fist. “Hey what the-”

Grabbing the fist, I pulled the first bully away before standing between them and the walleyed girl and pushing the second one back. Both stumbled a few feet away before regaining their footing. Both of them groaned in anger while they clenched their jaws. I glanced over my shoulder.

“You okay?”

“Y-Yeah…” the girl said nervously.

“Alright,” looking back both boys glared at me like a fresh cut of meat.

“You would defend that freak!” one boy yelled.

“She isn’t worth the space,” the second added.

“Coming from the two dumbasses that are willing to harm an innocent girl… what would your mother say?”

They growled again.

“You are going to pay for this!”

I cracked my neck, “I’d die for her.”

Both of them charged me with raised fists.

“I can’t believe this Excalibur!” Principal Celestia said in a disbelieving tone, “You haven’t been here a day and you put two students in the hospital!”

Sitting in front of her with Derpy nervously sitting next to me. I just sat and listened to the principal’s rant.

“In my defense! They did come at me first.”

She huffed in an attempt to make a sentence, “A dislocated knee, a bruised stomach, a missing tooth with a dislocated jaw, a bruised esophagus, and a dislocated shoulder!?”

I held my hands up, faking ignorance, “When dad left I was the man of the house! We lived in a rather poor neighborhood so I started taking every hand to hand class I could!” I lied, lowering my arms, “It was either kill or incapacitate! They should be glad I chose incapacitate!”

Celestia dropped the folder in her hand onto her desk.

“I-I-I, I just can’t!” before letting out a disbelieving laugh, “You have no idea what this will lead to with the board!” she placed her hands on either side of her head. Shock written all over her face.

“I just wasn’t going to stand there and let them beat the shit out of her! They should have been known better to fuck with me!” I said with an amusing smirk.

“DON’T YOU CURSE AT ME YOUNG MAN!” She boomed while slamming both hands on her desk and standing up from her chair. My eyes went wide at the remark. Next to me Derpy started to cry. Sighing, Celestia’s head went limp while she closed her eyes. “Sorry…” she slowly sat down.

“…Its cool…”

Turning in her chair Celestia started to go through some paperwork, “I’m sorry Excalibur… but I’m going to have to suspend you for fighting…”

“WHAT!?”

“This cannot go unpunished,” she stated.

Leaning back in my chair I started to think.

“So… you are going to suspend me for self-defense?” Celestia looked at me, “You know… I’m still within the time of pressing charges. Especially since one of those boys was eighteen… I can charge him for assault on not only me,” I looked at Derpy’s sad form, “And a minor.” Celestia turned her chair to fully face me. “It would be unfortunate for the school board to here that two students got arrested on assault charges. Be even worse if the papers heard this…”

Celestia angrily narrowed her eyes at me, “Are you black mailing me?”

“No… I’m just saying that I’ll have those two arrested and leak the whole thing to the papers. I’ll also sue the school for banning me for something I had no control over. It was either fight or flight. And I sure wasn’t going to leave Derpy there defenseless. I was stuck between a rock and a hard place… either we walk, or I press charges… which would you prefer?”

Celestia’s door slammed shut behind Derpy and I.

“I’d say that went well,” I said while looking over my shoulder at the principal’s office for a moment. “How are you- OOF!”

Derpy tackled me in a massive bear hug.

“Thank you!”

“No… problem!” I wheezed out.

Releasing me I took in a large breath of air while Derpy stood by nervously while rubbing her arm and looking at the floor. “Ahehe… sorry” she apologized, “It’s just… nobody has ever stood up for me before.” She said while looking to the side.

“Hey, it’s what I do,” I replied with a warm smile, “I’m just glad you’re safe.” I looked to the side, “Well… I might as well to get to class…” Taking a step I felt a hand grab my sleeve. Turning around I saw Derpy. She held her free hand close to her chest, she was looking to the side at the floor and her face was blushing.

“I um… well…” she took a deep breath to calm her nerves, “Feel free to say no because well, you’re probably busy, but,” she stood up straight and looked me in the eye, “WouldyouliketogototheFallFormalwithme!?” she closed her eyes tight after that.

I shrugged lightly, “Sure.”

“I under- wait what!?”

“Sure. I’ll go to the formal with you,” I repeated.

The corners of her mouth widened into the biggest smile ever before she tackled me to the ground. Landing on my back with Derpy on top of me she held me in a tight hug… again. Looking up at me with her crossed eyes her cheeks started to turn red. Our faces were inches apart.

“Derpy?”

“Yes?”

“Can I please stand up?”

“Oh? OH!” she slid off of me and stood up. “S-Sorry… it’s just… I’ve never had anyone be so nice to me…” she nervously admitted, blushing while I rose to my feet.

“It’s cool,” I replied while adjusting my sweatshirt. “So the dance is tomorrow,” I looked at Derpy, “When does it start again?”

“Uh…” she pulled a cell phone out of her pocket and fiddled with it, “Seven!”

“So I’ll pick you up at 6:30 then?” I asked.

“Okay!” she said happily, “But I should warn you. My father is a little bit protective at times.”

Let me guess…? Shotgun shell to the lap. When I was in high school I dated a girl whose father was like that. Picked her up for our first date and he tossed a shotgun shell in my lap. Now that I think about it… THAT GIRL WAS FUCKING NUTS!

“It’s cool.”

Saying our goodbyes, we parted ways and headed for our own classes. Twilight was able to work a number on not only the five girls we ran into earlier but Dash and Applejack too. At the beginning for the day all five hated each other. By lunch, they were all the best of friends. From there on out. things were fine for the rest of the day.

Until I caught a live news feed of Downtown Canterlot.

The bell had just rung signaling the end of the school day. Walking through the halls I passed the teachers’ lounge. They happened to have the television on. It was turned to the news.

“It would appear that there is a dragon in downtown Canterlot!”

I did a quick 180 and looked at the television through the doorway. Various teachers stood in shock and awe with their eyes glued to the screen. The camera panned past the young female reporter and at the dragon in question. Here I expected a dragon from Equiestria, but that wasn’t the cast since the portal turn Spike into a dog. On the screen I saw a white and black Chroma, with the same color Boltor on his back, same color Akjagara, and Silvia and Aegis. From the way he was spitting fire and roaring, he was not in his right mind set.

I had to deal with this situation immediately!

“Serenity!” I called over the ear piece while running down the halls of the school, “We have a situation!”

“What?!”

“We have a Chroma class Warframe in Downtown Canterlot! Get your gear, we have to deal with this, NOW!”

“Okay… I’m on my way!” I heard her mumble a few things to someone before the feed went dead.

Running past students and teachers I burst out the front doors of the school. As if timed perfectly Serenity came out a few seconds behind me. Glancing over my shoulder I nodded at her which she returned. Right as we started running for Canterlot I heard a familiar voice behind us.

“Hey! Wait!”

Looking over my shoulder I caught Dash running out of the school with Applejack following while the rest of the girls started to walk out the door.

“Fuck!” I said under my breath.

Crossing the street with the girls hot on our heels I motioned with my arm for Serenity to split off. Catching the order, she split off down the street while I hopped a chain-link fence into someone’s backyard. Following Serenity, Applejack chased after her while Dash hopped the fence after me.

“Excalibur, wait!”

Ignoring Dash, I hopped the fence again into another yard. We continued this game of cat and mouse over several fences and through various yards until I came to a taller wood fence. Stopping in front of it and looking for a simpler route while Dash landed on the other side of the lawn and slowly walked up to me with a smug look.

“Hehe… got yah!”

I chuckled. “No quite…”

Turning around I grabbed the top of the fence and hopped over in one smooth motion. Landing with a roll, I ran to a nearby shed in the yard and hid behind it. I could hear Dash’s grunts and struggled moans while she attempted to get over the taller fence. After a few seconds she hobbled over the fence and landed on her ass with a painful groan. Rubbing her head, she stood up, looked around, and chose a direction before hopping the opposing fence.

“Finally…”

P.O.V. Twilight Sparkle.

Sitting down in this universes Sugar Cube Corner with Pinkie, Fluttershy, and Rarity -with Spike in her lap- we talked while we waited for Dash and Applejack to come back. I had no idea what Excalibur or Serenity were doing running off in such a hurry.

“Twilight!”

“Huh?” I questioned while looking at the girls, “Did someone say my name?”

All the girls shook their heads.

“Twilight, its Excalibur.”

Right, the ear piece!

“Ex-”

“Don’t answer! You’ll look pretty suspicious talking to nobody. Look… I saw a news feed of a Chroma class Warframe in Downtown Canterlot.”

‘A Tenno in this universe!?’

“I don’t know how he got here, but Serenity and I are on our way to deal with it! I’ll talk to you later.”

He stopped talking which caused me to look at my ‘new’ friends. They were idly talking about this or that. Most of it was how to get me to win the up coming dance. Some of it was the usual school stuff until Rainbow and Applejack walked inside looking tired and sweaty. They each grabbed a chair and took a lazy seat. Rainbow's was rather haphazard since she laid her head on the back and let her arms lay limp with both legs spread wide.

“Holy… crap… he is… fast!” she said between breaths.

“Yer tell’n me,” Applejack replied, “That cousin ah yers can run!”

I could only imagine why… taking a much needed break both girls calmed down before walking over and getting a milkshake for themselves before sitting down. While we sipped our drinks they asked me questions about not only myself but Excalibur and Serenity. All of which I had make up. To be honest, I was always a terrible liar and Applejack is basically a living lie detector! I obviously did well enough because she didn’t say a thing.

After a couple of minutes, a student barged into the little goody shop.

“Turn the TV to 42!”

Mrs. Cake grabbed a small device nearby and turned on a big box in the corner of the room on an elevated support system. It was a lot like the one we saw yesterday. The number ‘42’ appeared before the screen changed to a young woman standing with a small device in her hand like yesterday. Behind her, police ponies were hiding behind those ponyless carriages with the red and blue lights on while some of them would stand up and shoot their guns.

“I cannot say much other than there is a dragon in Downtown Canterlot!”

I stiffened up in my chair.

‘A… d-dragon… here!’

The video moved past the woman to see what was defiantly a dragon. It was white in color and stood with a very definitive hunch, giving it a menacing appearance. It was like no dragon I’d ever seen. After thinking Excalibur was one when we met him, I ran through every book I had on dragons. I watched intently as the massive beast let out the deepest and menacing roar as it bellowed bright orange flames to the sky before going back to its hunched stance.

“Wait! Who’s that!?”

The video turned around, on the screen I could see Excalibur and Serenity running toward the action.

“Is that?” Dash was unable to finish her sentence with how limp her jaw was.

Following them the video watched as they ran past. Saying something that sounded like hissing, Excalibur motioned forward with his arm while Serenity nodded. Sliding over the front of one of the carriages she went straight for the dragon while Excalibur slid up and took cover behind one of the carriages and next to one of the officers.

“Sergeant!” he yelled.

“Who the hell are you!?”

“Doesn’t matter! I need you and your men to move back one more block!” he ordered with an arm motion down the street away from the dragon. “Take a few men and evacuate the civilians in these buildings!” he added while twirling his arm in the air.

“And why should I listen to you!?”

The carriage next to them skidded several feet back as the tires screeched loudly as Serenity crashed into the side. Shaking her head, she growled before peeling herself out of the new dent she made and going after the dragon. Looking back at each other, Excalibur and the police po-man made eye contact.

“Do you really want me to answer that!?”

The police man grabbed a small black device on his left shoulder and started giving orders. The video moved to Serenity and the dragon. The massive beast punched Serenity in the jaw causing her to stumbled backwards. The animal let out a massive a deep throated roar while leaning forward slightly. Matching the intimidation act. Serenity let out her own high pitched screech while she activated her Hysteria ability. The dragon slammed its fists on the ground before charging her on all fours. Serenity charged with both claws open at her sides.

The dragon jumped and lifted a clenched claw when it got close enough to Serenity. In return she grabbed the closed claw with her own and used her other to smash it into the side of the dragon’s blade like head. The beasts head reeled to the side before it used its other claw to grab her shoulder and head but her. Taking a deep breath, it breathed fire directly into her face, causing the upper half of her body to disappear in orange flame and black smoke.

The sound of metal clanging filled the air as a fast flying metal object connected with the back of the dragon’s head causing it to cease its attack as its head bounced forward. It growled as it looked over its shoulder. The video turned just in time to catch Excalibur standing with his left foreleg extended out straight as the metal object connected to his fetlock.

“Is that… a car door?” Rarity questioned.

“That’s awesome…” Dash added, mesmerized.

Turning my attention back, Excalibur charged the duo as Serenity grabbed the dragon by the neck and unleashed her own attack with a flurry of hoof attacks. When Excalibur was close enough, he shield bashed the dragon when Serenity stopped her attack. The dragon stumbled backwards before shaking its head and growling. It took a deep breath, only to be cut off when the door hit it in the neck. This time instead of coming back to Excalibur, Serenity jumped forward and caught it. Rolling she stood up to the right side and bashed the beast it the head before throwing the door low.

On the opposite side the door bounced before connecting to Excalibur’s foreleg, where he punched forward, using the shield instead of his hoof. Spinning around the opposite way he bashed the dragon again before tossing the spinning door into the air where Serenity caught it. Before she could drop down for a slam attack the beast tackled her. Running full force, they crashed into the side of a massive skyscraper. Everyone in the room winced.

Pulling the door off her arm, the beast turned sideways and threw the shield, following the piece of metal, it hit Excalibur in the chest, causing him to stumbled backwards. Before he could recover the dragon was on him. It ran into him full force, using its head as a battering ram. Lifting its head violently, the swordsman was lifted into the air where he bounced off the front of a parked carriage and crashing into a wall, leaving a good sized hole.

Once again, everyone winced when he crashed through the wall.

Crawling out, his head waved side to side in the daze.

“Look out!” a female voice screamed from the box.

We all watched in horror as a massive white carriage crashed into him. I threw my hooves over my mouth and closed my eyes, while quietly mumbling his name. I could feel tears forming. If that didn’t kill him it would had to have at least, really hurt. We watched the screen in horror, many of the girls had hooves over their mouths while the boys sat slack jawed.

“Oh god…” the female voice from the bow said, the sadness in her voice was all too real. The screen went back to Serenity who was in a major claw fight with the dragon. “It… it would appear that our hero…” the voice couldn’t finish the sentence before crying and labored breaths filled the air.

As Serenity fought the dragon they slowly started to move in front of the hole. The dragon losing as the tortured frame beat it with a new sense of anger. Throwing one last major hit the beast stumbled back while she let out a fury and pained filled screech. The dragon regained its footing as it shook its head. Taking a deep breath, it began to roar back. It made it halfway through before a massive white carriage came flying back out of the wall and causing it to disappear from where it was standing. Crashing off screen, Serenity looked in the direction where it came from.

Turning to the side the video caught Excalibur stepping out from the hole in the side of the building while placing a hoof on the wall for support. The room rejoiced. Running up, Serenity offer help but was quickly waved off. Turing the opposite direction the video focused on the carriage as it started to wobble before it was pushed over, revealing the dragon. Panning out to catch everything, Excalibur and Serenity walked onto the right side of the street while the dragon walked to the left.

Looking down, Excalibur lifted a leg and stomped on another door at his hooves. Causing it to spin into the air and attach to his arm. Both charged the dragon as it went back to its four legged stance. Once they were close enough, Excalibur rolled and pushed off, using his front hooves as a spring. Both back hooves connected with the animal’s jaw, throwing it off balance. Serenity jumped over the duo before punching the beast in the back of the head. Flying forward it crashed head first into the door. Both Tenno would work in sync to each others attacks. When Excalibur punched with the shield he would throw it to Serenity, who would combo the attack. It was so fast that I could barely make it out.

The door would go high, where it would be given a new dent, then it would go low before it would connect with the animal’s head again. It was almost as if they were specifically targeting the head. No attack went low. After about 20 something attacks, Excalibur grabbed the dragon by the back of the head and bashed it into the ground, leaving a head shaped crater. Grabbing the makeshift shield from Serenity they both stood in front of the dragon. Propping itself up it shook its head before looking up at them and taking a deep breath.

Holding it with both hooves, Excalibur hit the beat square in the face, causing its body to lightly convulse and fall backwards. Looking at the front of the shield Excalibur said something in a that foreign hissing language before tossing the shield to the side where it clanged against the ground. Groaning, the dragon lifted its head and looked around. Offering a friendly hoof, Excalibur helped the beast to its feet. It looked around the battlefield before focusing on Excalibur and Serenity. Both exchanged a few words before waving something off and laughing lightly.

“Uhh… what just happened?” Dash questioned.

“They look like their… friends?” Fluttershy added.

The sound of metal grinding forced us to look back at the screen. All three Tenno turned to look down the street. Panning past them, we watched as a large group of camouflaged men came running down the street with heavily build, box shaped carriages behind them. Shortly after that one of those ‘tank’ type things roared forward. Panning back the video looked high to see two hovering type vehicles flying overhead. One was green with a massive rotating gun under the front while the other was black and filled with more troops.

“Military grade Humvee's with Browning M2 .50 caliber machine guns! An M1A1 Abrams with a 105millimeter cannon and .50 caliber machine gun! Is that an Apache AH-64 attack helicopter with a 30 millimeter M230E1 Chain Gun and 16 Hellfire rockets!? And that’s a UH-60 Black Hawk with an M134 minigun!?”

Everyone in the room slowly looked at Dash who was standing up with her hooves firmly planted on the table. We all raised an eyebrow at the rainbow haired girl. Catching the attention, she looked around the room.

“What? I can know stuff!” She huffed while crossing her arms and falling back into her seat. That comment gained an eye roll from the rest of the gang. Looking back again, Excalibur was looking at Serenity while giving her some type of order. Taking a deep breath, she let out a fear inducing screech while activating her Hysteria ability again. She charged the mass of troops and vehicles. All of the guard’s eyes went wide as they opened fire with their weapons.

BOOM!

The tank fired. Time seemed to slow as the round from the armored vehicle approached the charging girl. Sidestepping, she dragged her claws along the side of the massive round. She was quickly engulfed in cloud of black smoke and fire. As the cloud faded she was still charging. Guards reloaded their weapons while the tank fired again.

BOOM!

She didn’t even stop as she backhoofed the massive round, causing it to bounce on the ground before impacting with a nearby carriage and exploding. Before the tank could fire again, she vaulted over one of the ‘Humvee’s’ where she grabbed the gunner by the shoulders and bashed his helmeted head onto the top of the vehicle. Keeping her momentum, she landed, turned and continued forward. Grabbing two guards by their helmets she bashed their heads together and dropped them.

Reaching the tank, she dropped to all fours and rapidly climbed on top of it. Reaching the rotating top and massive barrel she sunk both sets of claws into the it. The guard on top aimed his massive weapon and fired at her, only to have the bullets harmlessly bounce off her armored frame. With one powerful tug, both sets of claws tore through the metal like butter, causing the massive barrel to drop free and send small pieces of metal everywhere. It landed with a loud CLANG! On the front before dropping to the ground. When the barrel was removed she turned to the other gunner, where she grabbed his weapon and ripped t from its mount and lazily tossing it to the side before she screamed ferociously into his face, causing him to hid into his hole. Sticking her head in and sticking her but in the air, she continued screaming before felling like she was safe enough. She finished off her attack by slamming the door to the hole closed and welding it shut with her claws. All the guards watched terrified as she sat there lazily on the tank.

The sound of someone clearing their throat caught their attention. They all turned back to see Excalibur and the dragon standing in front of one guard in particular. They all raised their weapons before Excalibur raised his right forearm, where an ethereal Skana Prime appeared before we were all blinded by a bright flash of white light. Wincing, I rubbed my eyes before focusing back on the screen. Right behind them, the dragon was skinnyer and it looked like his hide was floating…

The flying pelt let out a throaty roar, causing all the guards and everyone in the café to cover their ears. When it was over, Excalibur grabbed the guard by the collar of his shirt. He examined the man’s face before releasing him.

“Stand down Lieutenant,” he ordered the guard.

The guard narrowed his eyes, “We don’t negotiate with ter- AH!”

Excalibur grabbed the man by the collar yet again and dragged him over to one of the Humvee's and lifted him up before smashing him onto the front.

“I’m going to count to five!” the guard threatened.

“I’m going to count to three!” Excalibur threatened back while drawing his pistol from his hip and placing it over the guard’s heart.

The guard angrily pursed his lips.

“I would-”

BANG!

Everyone in the room gasped. Even I couldn’t believe what he just did. All that guard was doing was protecting the city! We nervously watched the screen thinking we just watched an innocent person die. Nothing happened for a second before Excalibur lifted the man off the hood, holstered his gun, and tore the man’s uniform open. I was amazed he was still standing. We all let out a relieving breath when we saw the bullet embedded in the man’s vest. Opening his claws, Excalibur cut the seemingly bullet proof piece of clothing off the guard and dropped it on the ground. Drawing his pistol again, he stepped back and pointed it at the man’s heart.

“One…”

“STAND DOWN!”

"Smart man…” Excalibur holstered his gun while the guard dropped to the ground in a fear filled heap. Excalibur gestured to Serenity with his head. She stood up before jumping off the top of the tank. Walking a short distance from the blockade, the low roar of their archwings filled the air before they attached Excalibur’s and Serenity’s backs. She wrapped her forelegs under the Dragon and took to the skies. She flew off one direction while Excalibur went straight for the green ‘helicopter’. He grabbed onto the side where the glass was before he adjusted his arms and pried one pane from the rest of the vehicle. Tossing it behind himself he reached inside and ripped a helmet from one of the pilots before coming back and shooting something in front of the pilot he removed the helmet from.

Jumping free he rolled in midair and went after the opening of the black one. Landing in the opened door he grabbed the gunner and threw him out before attaching him to the end of his weapon via a safety cable. The man flailed around in an attempt to keep himself from swinging so violently. Inside the glass we saw him exchange a few words before going back and jumping out of the open door and disappearing from sight.

Mrs. Cake turned the TV off while we all looked at each other, dumbfounded. The entire place was dead silent.

“That… was… AWESOME!” Dash yelled, breaking the tense air, “Did you see how he! And that! And that chick just ripped! OH MY GOSH THAT WAS INSANE!!!” she enthusiastically repeated what we saw with gestures and noises.

The whole room was a flurry of what we just witnessed. Words like ‘superhero’, ‘mercenaries’, and so on were all people would talk about. After about ten minutes of talking, said hero in question walked in -no armor of course. He let out an exhausted sigh while sitting down in an open chair at the table. He must have learned to sit like that from Rainbow. It was the exact same look.

“I hope you like dream floats!?” Pinkie enthusiastically said while dropping a glass with orange soda and vanilla ice cream in front of the exhausted Tenno.

He raised his head and tiredly looked at the drink before raising an eyebrow at the smiling, yet ignorant girl.

“I am okay with this…” he said before grabbing the glass and sitting up so he could eat his treat.

Dash and Applejack gave him an irritated look.

“So…” Dash started, “Where did you go?”

“Yah…” Applejack added, “Why were yah and yer sister in such a hurray?”

“I had to deal with something important at home,” he answered.

“And yer sister?”

He waved a lazy arm with his spoon in his mouth, “I’m not her mother…”

Author's Notes:

For those of you that either are unfamiliar or do not know about the Silvia and Aegis or Ack and Brunt (which are the sword and shield weapons in the game) The mod Eleventh Storm allows the user to actually throw the Aegis/Brunt (shield) out as an attack where it arch's back to the user. And the mod Final Harbinger, allows the user to ride the board (shield) like a well... board! So that was the idea with the car door, its the Aegis... but its a door!
