Chapter 44: Equestria Girls:
Twilight's POV:
Spike and I were heading to Canterlot High for the shard my friends had found, and nothing could ruin this.
"I feel like there are three people in that bush staring at us," says Spike.
"I think you imagined it," I said.
Bray's POV:
I was with my henchwomen, Catrina and Procina.
"Okay," I said, "a group of schoolgirls have the piece of the Infinity Sword. The Boss says that if we get the piece to him, he'll help us get back to Equestria and we can take our revenge on Discord for stranding us in this world!"
"Why did he do it again," asks Porcina.
"A stupid reason," I said, "because I said the chocolate milk wasn't that good. It was Inconceivable! Now, let's get to work!"
"I don't think we should be stealing from teenagers," says Porcina.
"Am I going mad, or did you just say 'think'? I DO ALL THE THINKING!"
"Bray, he can fast," says Catrina.
"Fast, fast, fast," says Porcina, "I think he likes to swim alast."
"He probably wants to do them harm."
"He's really, really short on charm."
"A great day for rhyme."
"Yes, yes, some other time."
"Enough of that," I said.
"Porcina, will our employer feel dread?"
"If he does, we'll all be dead."
"No more rhymes now, I mean it," I said.
"Anybody want a peanut?"
I then shouted in anger.
Twilight's POV:
I met up with my friends.
"Here it is, Darling," says Rarity.
"That's a shard alright," I said.
"So, what's it do," asks Pinky, "what's it do? What's it..."
"Is it dangerous," asks Fluttershy.
"If Cobra Commander and his goons get their hands on it, they could do who knows what to the world," I said.
"The-yn ya beder tay-uk it ta yo-wr base," says Applejack.
"If that Cobra guy gets here," says Rainbow Dash, "I'll take him on."
"Uh guys," says Sunset, "we got company."
"Is one of them a stretchy monster," I asked.
"I don't think so," says Sunset.
I turn around and see the three.
"Alright, you're the reasons I always hated school," says the only guy in the trio, "you don't need to ask why..."
"You could never get a date," says Sunset, "so you've held a grudge against high school girls."
The guy gives in. "Yes. Now, hand over that fractyl!"
"We call them shards," I said.
"Really? Our employer calls them fractyls," says the large woman.
I figured she meant Cobra Commander.
"Give us the shard and we'll burn down the school," says the guy.
"Don't you mean 'or', says the normal sized girl.
"Give us the shard or we'll burn down the school," says the guy.
"We can't let you have it," I said. We then demonstrated our powers.
"They have magic? Inconceivable! Catrina, smoke bomb!"
The normal-sized girl then does a smoke bomb and the three disappear... along with the shard.
"They have the shard," I said.
Bray's POV:
I called our employer to let him know what we did.
"We have the shard," I said, "victory is ours, now. Nothing can stand in our way. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant victory is yours and nothing can stand in your way." I hung up. "He won't even let us have some credit. Inconceivable!"
"You sure like to say that word," says Catrina, "was it your first word?"
Twilight's POV:
"We have to find them before they give that shard to Cobra Commander," I said.
"Don't worry," says Pinkie, "we can do it because...
Pinky Pie: As long as we're together
Like seven birds of a feather
We can do anything
And that's what makes me wanna sing
Fluttershy: We are ready to unite
We can win the fight
As long as we have each other
They can call for their mother
Rainbow Dash: We are awesome as one
Let's send them on a run
We're a well oiled machine
Now let's make those losers sceam
Applejack: If Cobra Commander comes eend gets us
We'll may-uk 'im a big wuss
'Cause squat kay-yun tay-uk us down
We're thuh heroes awf this town
Rarity: Together, we're invincible
And he who says Inconcievable
He's in for a great surprise
When will evil ever realize
Sunset: We are the best
And those three are just some pests
So let's go kick their butts
Because we got the guts
Twilight: With you girls by my side
I will never hide
Together we are strong
We can do no wrong
All: As long as we're together
Like seven birds of a feather
We can do anything
And that's what makes me wanna sing!
"First of all, with me, that makes eight," says Spike, "and second, shouldn't we be going after the guys with the shard?"
Bray's POV:
I looked and saw them coming.
"Split up. Catrina, since you don't have your magic, use those fencing skills you've been learning. If you see one, stab her! Porcina, if you see one, take care of her, your way!"
"What is my way," asks Porcina.
"You pick up a rock and throw it at her!"
"My way's not very sporting."
Sunset's POV:
I was walking through the woods. Also, did Canterlot High always have woods? Oh well. Anyway, I ran into one of them. She had a sword.
"Do you fence," she asks.
"I've been taking some lessons."
"If you come any closer, I will kill you."
"Just as we were about to become friends."
She threw me a sword and we dueled. We were even.
"Something I should tell you," she said, "I am not a lefty."
"Well, guess what, I... no wait, I am."
We continued. Then I managed to beat her.
"You won. Say, you wouldn't by any chance, have a light blue eye and a dark blue eye, would you?"
Weird question, but I showed her my eyes.
"Pity. If I ever met the girl with those traits, I'll be like, 'my name is Catrina, you killed the only cat I have ever loved. Time to die!"
"Cat?"
"I'm from Equestria."
"No kidding?"
Applejack's POV:
I was walking when someone threw a rock in my direction. I looked.
"Howdy," she said.
"Ya ahr makin' fun awf me."
"Listen, I was supposed to hit you with a rock, but I thought it would be more sporting if we actually wrestled."
We then wrestled. We were both purdy strong.
"You're strong for someone your size," she said, "I like you."
"Ah'm flattered eend all," I said, "but hooaah done ya tay-uk thuh shard?"
"Well, I'm actually a pig from Equestria and I just wanna go home."
"That's saaid." I felt sorry for this girl, but I still had to beat her and that's what I did. I knocked her to the ground.
"You win. We should do this again sometime."
"Yeah, ah guess."
Twilight's POV:
I came across the only guy and he was at a table with two orange sodas.
"Evening."
"Who are you?"
"I am Bray, a donkey from Equestria. That freak, Discord, banished me and my crew to this world."
"Discord? That's Fluttershy's childhood imaginary friend."
"Listen, you seem like a smart girl. So, here's the thing. We will have a battle of wits. What do you say?"
"Fine." I got out a formula. "I made this. It wouldn't kill either of us, just make one of us sick." I grabbed the two orange sodas and poured it in one of them and put them both back. "So, where is it?"
"It's so simple. All I have to do is divide from what I know of you. Are you the kind of girl who would pour the formula into her own cup? Now, a clever person would put the formula into her own cup because they would know that only a great fool would reach for what they were given. I am not a great fool, so I cannot choose the orange soda that is in front of you. But you must've known I am not a great fool. You would've counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the orange soda in front of me."
"So, you made your decision?"
"Not remotely. Because you made that formula in Chemistry Class. And the only way your teacher allowed you to make this is if they are an ex-con which means I cannot trust you, so I cannot choose the orange soda in front of you."
"Wow, you're clever."
"Way to I get complicated! Where was I?"
"Chemistry Class."
"Right. You must've known I would guess that, so I cannot choose the orange soda in front of me."
"I think you're just stalling."
"You think that. You're obviously this world's counterpart to one of The Princesses of Equestria, so I'd say you're powerful and have developed an immune system, so I cannot choose the orange soda in front of you. But you are also clearly the smart one of your group and like to study and learned that you are a mortal, so you put the formula as far away from you as possible, so I cannot choose the orange soda in front of me."
"Are you trying to trick me?"
"I have. I now know where the formula is!"
"Then make your choice."
"I have and I choose... what in the world can that be?"
I looked and saw nothing. Then I turned back.
"I could've sworn I saw something. Bottom's up. Me from my cup and you from yours."
We both drank from our cups. But there is a twist. You see, I knew all of that would happen. He actually poured it into a nearby plant. The plant then grows and attacks him. That was what the formula really does. If either of us drank it, it would just make the orange soda taste funny, but if a plant drank it, this would happen.
"INCONCEIVABLE!"
. . .
We were gathered at the portal.
"Cobra Commander can't get this shard," I said.
"Wait, who," asks Catrina as she and the others were tied up.
"Your boss," I said.
"I think I would've known if I was working for someone that can command snakes," says Porcina.
"Our boss is Grogar," says Catrina.
"What's a Grogar," asks Rainbow Dash.
"I'm a Grogar!"
We all looked and saw a ram.
"You're from Equestria," I guessed, "but why aren't you..."
"Human? I chose to stay this way."
"I... I thought you were just a myth," says Sunset.
"My dear, you thought wrong. Now, give me the shard."
"We can't," I said.
"Do so and I promise to get rid of Cobra Commander."
I then looked at the shard.
"And what would you use the Infinity Sword for," I asked.
"DO AS I SAY!" Grogar was about to... well, ram us, but Rarity makes a forcefield.
"What? You have magic?"
We then all used our powers against him.
"None of you have seen the last of me." Grogar teleports away.
After that, I decided on a new plan. We sent the shard to Equestria. Our counterparts can watch it. Now, no one will ever get it.
Cobra Commander's POV:
I sent Serpentor's child into the portal to get the shard. I attached a container to him. He came out with the shard.
"Well done, my... Hm, you need a name, don't you? How about... Slytherin?" He likes it. "Let's go."
Did you notice the Princess Bride reference? Also, Serpentor's child is based on his nameless pet from the 80's G.I. Joe cartoon. I also imagine Voldemort being Cobra Commander's favorite literary character. Anyway, in the next chapter, Jack, Miko, and Raf will go get the next shard, but they will run into the Constructicons.
