My Little Pony: Mission: Earth 1: The Stolen Crown
Chapter 2
The Importance of Your Task
The next morning, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, Princess Cadence, Neo, the mane 6, and Spike all met up in the room where the thief escaped with Twilight's crown. Neo wished he could have seen who took it, but he knew it had to have been a human from the shape of the figure. Neo apologized to Princess Celestia for failing to stop the thief, but Princess Celestia smiled at him and said it wasn't his fault. Princess Luna came over and comforted him, telling him that he did his best and she knows that he'll figure out a way to get the crown back.
Princess Celestia explained to Neo and Twilight that the crown must be returned, without it, the elements of harmony have no power and Equestria would be left without one of it's most important means of defense. Neo said, "I will go and retrieve the crown, that thief has probably taken it to the world I came from known as Earth, I know that world pretty well since I lived there for 10 years before coming to Equestria." Princess Celestia nodded and said, "We agree, you must go and retrieve Twilight's crown and her element of harmony." Princess Cadence said, "Yes, you are our only hope Neo, the fate of Equestria and your world is in your hooves... or should I say hands." Princess Luna said, "The crown does not belong in your world, and in that thief's possession, Twilight's element of harmony will no doubt be used to bring harm to the inhabitants of your world, and they won't able to defend themselves, and in the wrong hooves, that crown could be used for evil and could possibly destroy your world."
The mane 6 and Spike were listening very carefully to what the princesses were telling Neo, and Neo knew that he had to get that crown back. The princesses were worried for Neo, especially Princess Luna, but they had to have faith that he would succeed. Princess Celestia said to Neo, "Do you understand the importance of your task?" Neo said, "I do." Princess Celestia said, "Good, then you must go at once." Neo took out a device and began to open a portal to earth, Princess Luna came over to him and said, "We have faith in you Neo, we know you'll return safely with the crown, until then, I'll miss you." A tear went down her face. Neo said, "Don't cry my princess, I promise I'll return with the crown." Princess Luna said, "I'm sorry that we couldn't spend more time together, but I promise I'll make it up to you when you return to us." Neo said, "Thank you Luna, you're a wonderful princess." Luna smiled, knowing deep down that he would return, then Princess Celestia said, "You must go now Neo." Princess Cadence said, "Yes Neo, there's no time to lose, go quickly before the crown falls into the wrong hooves."
Then the portal opened, Neo took a step towards it, then Rainbow Dash flew in front of him and said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, we're not letting you go alone Neo, if you're going, we're going with you." The rest of the mane 6 agreed, but Neo said, "Rainbow Dash, you can't go." Rainbow Dash said, "But we must, we're your friends, and friends have to stick together." Neo said, "Look Rainbow, I appreciate your loyalty, I really do, but I have to go alone, besides, the world I came from could be a very dangerous world, I can't take a risk on something happening to you girls, and in my world, there are no colorful ponies, or unicorns, or pegasi, or even alicorns, and if any government knew that you were there, they would capture you, do experiments on you and God knows what." Princess Celestia said, "He is correct, I'm afraid I can't let you girls go, sending all of you could upset the balance of his world, creating chaos that would make it impossible for Neo to get the crown back from the thief. This is something Neo will have do on his own."
Before going through, the mane 6 and Spike gave Neo a hug, wishing him all the luck in Equestria, saying they will miss him, and they hope he will get back to Equestria safely with the crown. Neo promised he will not rest until he gets Twilight's crown back to where it belongs, he waved goodbye to his friends and jumped through the portal. Right when Neo jumped, Twilight made an anxious look, she didn't want to let Neo go alone, she wanted to get her crown back just as much as he did, after all, it's her crown that was stolen. So Twilight quickly galloped towards the portal after Neo. The mane 6 shouted, "Twilight NO!" Then Twilight jumped into the portal along with Neo. Neo and Twilight went through the portal and the portal took them somewhere on Earth. They landed on the ground in an alleyway and it was during the night.
When Neo saw that Twilight had come through with him, he couldn't believe she came, Twilight was still an alicorn and she was exactly the same as she was. Neo said, "Twilight, how could you, I wanted you to stay in Equestria." Twilight said, "I know but I had to come with you, this is my responsibility, it's my crown that was stolen, and I must help get it back." Neo said, "Do you even realize how much danger you're in as long as you're here?" Twilight said, "I don't care, whether you like it or not Neo, I'm here and I'm going to help you return my crown to Equestria." Neo was so afraid for Twilight, he knew he was going to have to hide her and protect her, Twilight was a princess and she was very important to Equestria. Neo said, "Well, since you're here with me, I'm gonna have to hide you." Twilight said, "Why?" Neo said, "Because alicorns don't exist in this world, and if anyone sees you, they might try to capture you and take you to the authorities or some place where they might hurt you. And magic doesn't exist here, you won't have any magical abilities, you're practically powerless here. You're the princess of Equestria, and I have to protect you, if anything happens to you while you're here, Princess Celestia will hold me responsible."
Twilight understood, she knew that Neo was trying to protect her, tears filled her eyes and she said, "I understand, I'll do what you say." Neo hugged Twilight, she cried a little and Neo said, "There there Twilight, it'll be okay, I'm gonna get you're crown back and we'll be back in Equestria before you know it, now, let's go hide you." Neo and Twilight began walking through the alleyway. As they were walking, Twilight said, "Do you know where we are?" Neo said, "This place does look familiar, I think we're in Detroit." Twilight said, "Where's Detroit?" Neo said, "It's a city in America, it's a very violent city with a high crime rate, and the police here aren't very helpful." Twilight said, "Oh my, this sounds like a very dangerous place, and what are police?" Neo said, "They are people that protect other people, they uphold the law, and stop crime." Twilight said, "Oh, so they are like the royal guards." Neo said, "Sort of, but they're not royally."
Then Neo and Twilight came to an abandoned stable outside the alley, Neo knew this would be a perfect place to hide Twilight. Neo said, "Look Twilight, let's hide in there." They went inside the stable, once inside, Twilight said, "What is this place?" Neo said, "It's a stable, that's a place where people keep horses." Twilight said, "Well, I guess it'll have to do, after all, I am a pony." Then Neo and Twilight sat inside a spot in the stable, it was dark inside and it was kind of cold. Neo and Twilight snuggled each other, they were tired and had to sleep, so they went to sleep in the stable and would start searching for Twilight's crown the next day, and they fell asleep snuggling each other in friendship and warmth.
