Act 1-7
Storm's a brewin'

Andrew walked out of the Police Station all slow like, he was fucking sick of getting pushed around by these, these things that had been happening. He twirled the Tomahawk in his hand as he tripped a herd of mutated rabbits about to trample on him, as he did that, he put it back into his sheathe, he was not aiming to kill, because there was nothing to kill.

In a few moments it turned to night, and Andrew could not see a thing, and when he was walking he fell onto his ass. He felt the road underneath him to see that it had been turned to soap, his rubber sole shoes would not go well with this. He started to walk on the checkered floor instead. He turned on his tacpad to see ten unread texts, from his team. He avoided the soap roads until they went back to normal, in which he didn't think would be for a while.

Echo 2 (Helena): Andrew, I saw something. Something not normal...
Echo 3 (Jhon): Um, Captain? I think you may want to see this. It involves Twilight and her friends.
Echo 4 (Nick): Captain, I'm currently with Jhon. You need to get your ass over here, Twilight's friends aren't acting right. To be honest Fluttershy's being a real bitch right now.

The rest of the messages were concerning Twilight and her friends, they were back, but something was way off. Andrew practically dropped his gun at the sight, Twilight's friends were gray. They were so gray, that you could barely make out what used to be their original color, Rainbow Dash wasn't even there, and Twilight looked normal. Andrew's jaw hung wide open as he just stared, and followed Twilight as she carried a big rock towards her library.

"Twilight, is something a little off about your friends?"

"I don't see anything wrong, why do you ask?" Andrew mentally facepalmed. He then took out a book and showed it to her, and her eyes glistened and he could've sworn her mouth started to water a bit.

"Andrew, can I see that book?" He scratched his head as he pointed to the book he had in his arms.

"It's not really a book, it's hollowed out with these pieces of jewelry inside of them." He opened it to reveal the Elements of Harmony, unknowingly of course.

Twilight then used her magic to put the jewelry on her friends as well as her own tiara. The humans observed as Twilight with a frustrated expression approach Discord's Throne, as well as her demented friends, Discord wasn't really amused, and neither were the humans, they had no fucking clue what was going on to begin with. Discord took notice of the four humans standing in the background and he smirked. Twilight then confronted him, trying to get the Elements to work on him.

"It's time to end this Discord!" She said as she activated her tiara, Nick pulled down his shades from his eyes to see what was going on, Twilight's eyes started to glow, and everypony started to float.

"Good show jolly good show! Now, run along now. I have some excellent chaos to be making right now." Discord made a waving motion with his lion paw.

"This is all your fault! My fault? No! It's your fault!" The girls argued. Andrew went over to try and defuse the situation, trying to get them to act their normal selves.

Just as quickly as it happened Twilight fell back to the ground. Defeated. They all argued a bit before turning their separate ways, and Twilight slumped down, turning into a gray color. She shed a single tear before doing the walk of shame.

She slowly walked back to her library. Andrew and his team all walked over to Twilight, following her to her library and upstairs. Discord was left alone creating more chaos, as which he was designed for. For now at least.

"C'mon Twilight. You can't give up on your friends, no matter how bad it is. They will come back, they always do." Helena put her hand on her shoulder. Spike burped out another letter, Twilight took one and opened it up to read. She picked up another. And another. Until she perked up regaining her old colors back.

"Princess Celestia must have sent these back for a good reason!" She reassured herself, and the team gave her their full support.

"Alright! I have to fight for friendship!" She said heroically, and Andrew gave her two thumbs up.

"Well, Spike you can rest." Twilight said sheepishly as Spike burped out another letter.

"I'll distract Discord. Go and get your friends. Team, make sure she gets them back, I'm not having another loner." Andrew ordered, and Twilight took account of what he said.

"Another loner? What do you mean?" She asked, and Andrew sighed. He waved her off as he spoke.

"Twilight I'll tell you later, ain't nobody got time for explaining right now." Andrew practically pushed her out the door, and Helena and the rest of his crew followed in close pursuit.

Andrew unsheathed his Tomahawk, twirling it in his hand again. He also unsheathed his knife, and held it blade side down. He went over to Discord's Throne, where he confronted him, even though he didn't have any magic. He could still at least try to stand up to him. Andrew had Celestia's poker face, he managed to be able to get it down when he was staying at Canterlot.

"Well look if it isn't my human friend." Discord said as he took off his sunglasses. Andrew just stood there, with his arms crossed and leaning on his left leg.

"Discord, this has got to stop. I can't have any more innocent lives being endangered. It's my job to keep them from harm, and I don't want to hurt you." Andrew said, and Discord just laughed in his face.

"You think you can stop me? I'm a god! You can't kill a god." Andrew was gone, all was left was a cloud of dust where he was previously standing. Andrew then used his Tomahawk and tripped Discord, and he laughed.

"That's the thing. I'm not trying to kill you." Discord clapped his hands, and took out a glass bottle and filled it with chocolate rain. He drank the milk in one gulp and threw the glass at Andrew, he jumped back as it exploded into a ball of fire.

"Sweet Jesus it's a fahre!" He said all comedic like. Discord smirked as he picked Andrew up with his Kinesis, he struggled against Discord's will, but resistance was futile. He was lifted into the air with ease, and Andrew could feel a force choking him and he could not breathe.

"Look here human, if there's one thing that everypony should know, is that you don't fuck with a deity." Discord said as he choked Andrew harder, and he was struggling even faster to try and escape his grip.

"Discord!" Discord's attention turned towards Twilight, who was standing there with her friends, all fully restored to their original colors. They were all determined to take down Discord, for all of the trouble he has caused for Ponyville. Plus the fact that they separated Twilight from her friends, they looked pretty pissed.

"Discord! Put our friend down!" Twilight demanded, and Discord only laughed as his grip tightened.

"How about we strike a deal? You put away your Elements of Harmony, and I give back this fine fellow." He suggested.

"Fuck... *cough* ...you." Andrew managed to choke out. As Discord loosened up Andrew took a deep breath as he contacted Helena through his wristpad. Andrew managed to break free of his telekinetic grip and climbed on his back, and wrapped the back of his Tomahawk around his neck.

"Helena! Tell them to take him down!" He ordered, and Helena looked at him like he was crazy.

"But, you'll get turned to stone!" Andrew's eyes widened for a second, but them nodded with determination.

"Just do it! I can't hold him much longer." Andrew yanked on his Tomahawk, trying to restrain him for as long as possible, and he couldn't use any magic due to him being choked by the little human pest.

"I thought we could have been friends, Andrew. I wish we could have met on better conditions." He shrugged, and Andrew chuckled.

"Likewise, but duty calls." Andrew replied.

"Twilight! We have to do it! Celestia's counting on you guys!" Helena pressured.

"But we'll hit Andrew too!" Twilight retorted.

"Just do it! I'll be okay!" Andrew yelled.

Twilight gritted her teeth as she activated the Elements once more. The Elements actually worked this time, and Andrew's team was left speechless. As the rainbow beam hit Discord, both he and Andrew started to turn into stone. Andrew gave a salute to his fellow squad mates as he was darkening in color.

"Nooooooooo!" Discord could be heard screaming even after he was turned to stone. Andrew on the other hand, could be heard... laughing?

"Never had this much fun in years!" He said as he turned to stone. Andrew was frozen on top of Discord and seemed to look like he was strangling him, and Discord froze with his hands around his neck, trying to get Andrew off of him.


(Listen to this)

Andrew woke up inside of his mind, it was pictured to be a hospital room, with a patient gown and everything. He lifted his forearms and saw that he had IV's implanted into his veins, he took them out as he vaulted himself upright, sitting on the side of his hospital bed.

"Am I dead?" He asks himself, he looked outside the door, and the lights were flickering on and off. He grabbed his aching shoulder as he walked down the hallway, looking for any presence of life.

"Andrew, why did you leave us?" He whipped around and saw a bloody apparition, he flinched for a moment as it got closer.

"Wait a minute... Dad?" He questioned.

"You left us, Andrew. You abandoned us, why?" Andrew backed away as his supposed, "Dad," got closer.

"I didn't leave you! I didn't mean to leave you! I just didn't like Vegas!" He scolded himself. He then felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Andrew, I loved you so much. Why did you abandon us? We were your family."

"Mom, like I said before, I did not leave you guys! I never expected the Las Vegas Incident to occur! I never wanted you guys to die. I missed you all so much." Andrew cried, he then got out of the hospital and ended up inside of a green field. His team was standing there, as well as the girls.

"You left us Andrew, you made your way into our hearts, and left a giant hole where you once were." They all said in unison, Andrew grabbed his head as he got on his hand and knees, crying.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it to end this way. I'm so, so, sorry." He sobbed. Andrew started running, running to wherever his legs would take him, not stopping for a moment to breathe.


"As you can see we are gathered here today for the heroism of Captain Andrew Hartfield, who sacrificed himself for other ponies' well being from the reign of Discord. Discord had been much more dangerous than we could have anticipated, and the fact that multiple of ponies have either been injured or killed during this event. Sadly to say, we can't risk bringing him back because we take the chance of bringing Discord back as well. May your soul rest in peace, Andrew."
