We were on our way to Canterlot, Equestria. It seems Canterlot was one of the largest cities in Equestria, and also where the imperial palace was located; it was a 16 hour train ride. I was relieved to see only a few other ponies besides our party of 12 on the train; I’m not a fan of lots of random people in small spaces.

“Okay here’s the game plan” Mike said laying the map on the floor so everypony could easily see it

“Apple Jack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity you are going to find the first pieces in the Imperial Castle’s dungeon. Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie you will go find the other piece in the Castle’s giant maze. Meanwhile me, Neon, Vespi, Royce, Augustus, and Courageous C will go to a bar and maybe see a play, sounds like a good plan?” Sounded good to me for the most part

“Not really” Apple Jack said “This is a team effort; this sounds like y’all getting drunk while we do all the work.”

“Would you rather get drunk and we do all the work?” Tyler asked “Knowing Vespi he is ought to fuck up too” The stallions laughed; to an extent that was true.

“Nuhuh” Apple Jack said “Twilight, you, Rarity, Vespi, courageous C and Royal Royce go find the one in the dungeon. Me, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Augustus, Pinkie Pie, and Neon go find the one in the maze. Sounds good?”

“Nope” Mike said “Anything but with Twilight” Twilight gave a sigh

“O get over it Mike, stop being a baby.” I said

“Fine, go eat out Rarity again” he said laughing at his own joke

“Sure, just don’t watch” I said; gaining more laughter; especially from Rarity.

“Fine; now that took up 2 hours what do we do for the next 14 hours?” Mike asked

“I don’t know” Tyler said “If you ask me I need a drink”

“No offense” Dan said “I think you are drinking a little too much”

I had to admit; Tyler has been liking his whiskey a little too much.

“Relax bro” Tyler said laughing off the criticism “Iron liver; do whatever.”

“Ayan tell me! Where is everybody?” It was the Russian

“I don’t know, I think that got on a train” Ayan said; he was arming himself; grenades, assault rifle, riot shield; he thought Vespi would go all ape shit over “Their cover” but how was he supposed to stay alive without guns and armor?

“Do you have any ideas at all?” He questioned again

“Yea, Canterlot to help out the Princess”

“WHAT!” The Russian roared

“Yea man; hey can you spawn another clip of Assault rifle ammo?” Ayan asked; it appeared instantly “Thanks”

“Great” Complained the Russian “Now I have to create a protocol to get my men into Equestria so they don’t all get killed!”

“Bro why are you so scared?” Ayan asked; trying his best to jam the new clip of ammo into an already packed cabinet

“I can’t let those kids get killed” He then said in the background “Yuri! Check the lifelines!”

“Life lines?” Ayan asked

“It tells us if they are alive; but not where they are” The Russian said

“Really?” Ayan asked

“Yea you died like what twice now?” The Russian said; “How do you keep spawning anyways?”

“I don’t know” Ayan said; trying to whip his hair from inside his suit “I’m just that bro”

“Whatever” Said the Russian; “Yuri found a protocol to bring humans into Equestria; do you mind some sniper support?”

“As long as they are not shooting at me” Ayan said laughing at his own joke

“We’ll see”

Back to the plot *** Back to the plot

“Okay we are here everypony” I said waking up; I couldn’t help but notice Rarity was right next to me on the seat still asleep.

The real alarm clock came when the conductor’s brown voice came through the loudspeaker stating “Welcome to Canterlot, Equestria enjoy your stay.”

Everyone finally got up and off the train.

“Okay let’s split up now. Everypony know where we are heading?” I asked; everyone knew, our two groups headed in their separate ways. “Team 1” our team headed towards the imperial castle while “Team 2” everyone else headed to the maze; via back entrance.

We walked for a long time; even some times wasting time and going sightseeing; but not before long someone would get us back on track. We just hit the 24 hour mark when we finally came to the castle. At first two guards blocked the entrance, one of course being Major Faggot.

“Hey Major Faggot!” Mike said waving his hoof; the other pony just looked at us while Major Faggot acted surprised.

“What happened? Did you find the jewel?” He asked

“No we found a stone; Vespi fucked us and we are here now saving your ass.” Dan said

“Really…” he said “Is this royal business?”

“Yes it is!” Twilight said, stepping forward.

“I see” The other guard said “Why should we believe you?”

Mike actually surprised me for once “This is Twilight Sparkle bitch! She saved your ass once and she will do it again!”

The two guards just looked at each other and stepped apart; letting us enter

“Wow thank you MP” Twilight said, nuzzling against his hoof. I swear I saw Mike actually smile

The entire castle was teeming with life. You couldn’t count to 10 before a servant, guard, noble, or knight walked by you. We asked for directions several times; that was how big the castle had been. Eventually a well-dressed unicorn leaded us all the way.

“Thank you” MP said, did I call him MP? The names are growing on me

“It is my pleasure” Said the unicorn with a pompous smile “I’d do anything for Rarity”

Cool… wait fuck what!

Rarity gave out a nervous laugh “Okay… now leave us alone…please”

“O why? You know you want me.” He said; draping his face dangerously close to Rarity’s; of all places why must that have a metal detector in the castle?

“Fuck off” Rarity said; shoving him to the side, bouncing into Conor; who in turn pushed him into the wall.

“O how uncivilized!” Wailed the unicorn “Such plebian behavior, no wonder why your town is so impoverished.”

“Pony please” Rarity said putting up 1 hoof “See this?” She turned her hoof so the palm was out “This is how many shits I give” I laughed but when I saw the Unicorn smile as well I turned my smile into a grimace.

“O please don’t be so naïve Rarity” he said with that smile “You really should just stop acting like a baby and settle to be in my top 5 whores.”

O fucks no

“Vespi take this” I turned around to see Conor handing me a mini-crossbow.

“Hey asshole” I said; time to test an old meme “Where do you like your arrows?”

He gave me an aloof face

“Knee?” I fired the crossbow; launching the bolt right into the knee cap of the unicorn, it gave out a sickly snap and he fell back screaming.

“MY KNEE MY BEAUTIFUL KNEE IT IS THE SOURCE OF ALL OF MY POWER!” He screamed crying like a mare.

“I used to cry a lot” I said “Then I took an arrow in the knee.”

Me, Conor and the other stallions just laughed. Twilight and Rarity didn’t understand it though. We headed on, leaving the asshole to his fate; on the way I asked Rarity about who he was.

“Him? That was Prince Blueblood” She said aggravated by the entire event “He is a real obnoxious prick, thanks for shooting him with that crossbow. But C how did you bring a mini crossbow into a castle?”

“Simple; I shoved it up my ass and when the time came took it out. Loaded and everything” I dropped the crossbow

Conor always told the truth

The Guard to the dungeon allowed us in; he also warned us at leastly a dozen times about the old dungeon.

“Don’t worry we will be fine” I said

Meanwhile *** Meanwhile

“This isn’t an auspicious start” Ayan said, he was dressed as a juggernaut in the middle of Canterlot square; he was also already receiving oblique eyes from fascinated ponies who had never seen a juggernaut suit before, or a gun for that matter.

“Alrighty talking to you through private chat” The Russian said “No one but you can hear me; but people can hear you so be careful”

“WHAT?” Ayan asked, he wasn’t paying attention; but now he had more than one ponies attention.

“Shut the fuck up!” The Russian growled “Head to the old dungeon, you know what to do”

“Got you” Ayan said silently “Will Yuri be there too?”

“Yes just hurry; and good luck” The Russian was gone

This is your time to shine Ayan; save your friends.

Back to the plot *** Back to the plot

“Thank god we are finally past that puzzle” Blue Royce- I mean Dan said. Of all the dangerous things that were in old dungeons, who knew the worst was a giant puzzle? We spent at leastly an hour trying to form a sentence out of 40 blocks with letters on them turns out it was “I am the walrus hear me roar cause I am a boss lolol” that is too stupid to be funny, even for us.

“Thank god that is over” I said

“Indeed, now we can find the stone” Rarity said

We entered a musty room; covered in bones and cobwebs; according to Twilight things like this scared Rarity too death; and besides being jumpy like every other pony she seemed to be handling it fine.

We noticed a small box on top of an abnormally tall table.

“Dibs on carrying it” Conor said; grabbing it; all of a sudden a light brown hoof came out and punched Conor. He fell down; slumped next to the table; who had attacked Conor?

“Twilight more light, pronto!” Rarity ordered; Twilight gave a deep breath and lightened the entire room; there it was the attacker! It was the English pony from the last party!”

“Hello chaps; I see you found my stone for me” He said

“Doctor Whooves?” Twilight said “But why”

“Why? It is obvious! I am always left out!” He began, I knew a rant when I saw one so I blanked out. I just thought about Rarity; no extra info necessary.

“That is why I am going to kill you all and take the stones for myself!” The doctor now had a crossbow in hand. “Hasta Luego” Lucky for me we had a guardian angel. I saw 2 red laser sights jet out from the dark shattered ceiling and the cope de grace.

“LEROY JENKINS!” Ayan jumped down, SCAR in hand and blasted Doctor Whooves; several rounds came perilously close to Conor but when a bullet would graze the table Ayan would readjust his aim. A clip later and a dozen sniper shots later Doctor Whooves was dead.

“Jesus Ayan thank god!” I said “Wait weren’t you dead?”

“I spawned again” He said with a smile “I’ll tell you the entire story on the way back.”

Sadly I couldn’t meet the 2 snipers but Ayan said we would eventually; Twilight and Rarity were awe struck. They had never seen the likes of Ayan; wielding an assault rifle, encumbered by grenades and a riot shield; I had to admit say what you want about Ayan he was a hero for today. He grabbed the 2 stones; 1 from Doctor Whooves knapsack and the other from the case, woke Conor, and safely got us out. Pro

We got out of the dungeon and began to head to the maze to see how things were going with team 2.

“So how do you know him again?” Rarity joked

For the Leroy Jenkins line props goes to MC; thanks man!
