Swig came to the conclusion that he wont share a seat with anypony. "ehhh... I'll just... get comfy under the seats with the luggage" Swig secured his seat/luggage hold and pulled an old camera out of his bag. "Everypony huddle up! Family Vacation photo!" Swig levitated everypony into a group and secured them together and forced a smile onto them uisng his magic. Swig jumped in and levitated the camera and took a shot, the photo printed and Swig checked it out. "look at us... we're like a normal dis-functional Equestrian family on a holiday to Phillydelpha!" Swig levitated everypony back where he picked them up from.

Since we are all bronies here... does this count as spiritual cannibalism? because the fandom is based on ponies after all (obvious)

"Is this everypony then?, if so, lets get moving!" Swig packed everything below the seats on the cart "Get comfy, Acid, you gotta sit on somepony's lap there's not enough space" Swig did a head count: Redstorm, Acid, Raze, Cleo, Jonny, Lyona, Straight Shot and of course... Swig himself. "That's eight ponies! the cart only holds six! Acid, since your the smallest you get to sit on somepony's lap, that leaves one more pony having to share a seat" Swig stared at all the ponies looking for any volunteers to share a seat... they all stared back at him. "Wh... Who? Me?"

I put all my drawings on Deviantart and I need to tag other deviants to my work in order for them to have my drawings (sorry 4 the inconvenience)

@, I'll take a shot, well I will take a shot if you have a deviantart account, if you do please tell me so I can continue drawing. Sorry, I cant draw for people unless they have a deviantart account

Swig thought to himself for a moment "they don't understand the importance of what I know or have, I don't blame them, they wouldn't know, some things are kept secret for a reason" Swig cast a seal spell on his saddlebag after what had happened between Jonny and him, "this should keep any curious ponies away from my stuff" Swig put his saddlebag on and tightened it, Swig gave a quick glance at Jonny due to his suspicions. Swig climbed onto the minecart and checked the mechanisms.

@@Skullbuster, "sorry, some things I have are to be kept secret, secret enough that it is worth killing you for" Swig packed the knives back into his jacket Swig walked back to the train station's platform, on his way up he used his magic telepathy and whispered to Jonny "If I find out that you know what I my secret, I wont hesitate to kill you"

@@Skullbuster, "You were here at the station this whole time!" "Were you watching me? If so what did you see!?" Swig levitated several knives, "I might have no choice but to silence you if necessary" (200 character requirement sucks, just typing to fill in the requirement)

@@Skullbuster, Swig Panicked and fell back not realizing that Jonny was here the whole time. Swig grabbed Jonny by the collar and dragged him behind the minecart. "Were you watching me?!?! What did you see?!?! Answer Me Honestly Or Your Head Is Gonna Be The Minecart's Hood Ornament!" Swig raised a knife to Jonny's face and raised his eyebrows indicating that Jonny should answer quickly and honestly

@Lynette, Swig used his clear vision spell and peek through the blizzard. "Hey Cleo u know these ponies?" Swig grabbed Cleo's head and shoved it into the Clear vision's magic bubble, to Cleo it seems as if the blizzard just disappeared and she could see clearly through the storm. "well? you know em?"

@Lynette, "The minecart works well enough" Swig climbed out "Better warn the others that I used lamp oil on the minecart, before somepony accidentally sets this thing on fire" Swig drew a carrot and it came to life, "lunch...." Swig ate half of the carrot and left the other half on the pile of supplies on the minecart "Where the hell is Redstorm Jonny Acid And Skyfall?"

@, "sooo... everypony else seem to be taking their time, you might as well be useful and help me, I oiled up the minecart's mechanism with lamp oil, go on the other side and crank that lever, I'll crank the other lever and lets test this thing out" Swig climbed onto the cart and lowered his lever and the other lever raised. Swig raised his eyebrows and stared at Cleo indicating her to help

Swig saw a silhouette in the distance, he used his clarity spell to see into the blizzard and saw Cleo "HEY! You Better Get Outta There Unless You Want To End Up Like Me!!!" Cleo didn't hear Swig's voice through the storm, nor did she even notice him. "Sigh* Shes really slow... and deaf" Swig levitated Cleo by surprise and levitated her quickly towards the station and put her down on a seat. "Man, you walk real slow" Swig opened Cleo's bag and dug through it looking at what she managed to loot. "you got a good amount of supplies for the trip"

Swig heated up his horn and used it as a welder to fix anything wrong with the minecart "I do tend to overdo things" Swig blew off his glowing red horn Swig looked around to check if nopony is around, he dug into his saddlebag and checked on the Elements of Harmony "If only things didn't turn out like this" Swig took in a moment to think about what happened a few days back -----------(FLASHBACK)----------- (this is the part i skipped back at canterlot) Swig wore all of the elements and tried to make a spark, the elements of harmony rejected Swig because he is an invalid wielder. A pulse blew Swig back and tore the elements off his neck. "What the Fu-" Swig jumped back in and tried to grab the elements again, but everything stopped. In that split second, the world around Swig stopped, a flashback was played right in front of Swig, the flashback contained information about the war... Equestria was not the good guys during the war, corruption and politics led Equestria to invade other nations. "the history books said that we, Equestrians were the good guys... those were just lies and propaganda" Swig found all this hard to swallow, he refused to believe what the elements had shown him. ----------(Annnnnnd WE'RE BACK)---------- Swig woke up from a short nap, the minecart was starting to collect snow, "shit!, better brush it off" Swig cleaned the minecart from the snow and put some wooden planks over it to cover it from the snow Swig sat climbed onto the station platform and took a seat, Swig stared into emptiness and thought about what he saw

Swig was at the train station with his saddle bags stuffed. He lifted the minecart and put it back on the rails "the wheels still spin, but the lever mechanism is broke" Swig climbed under the cart and checked the mechanisms "oh... just some piece of bent metal" Swig used his magic to bend the piece of metal back into place "time to give it a try" Swig crawled out and onto the minecart and gave the lever a push, the minecart moved smoothly as ever. "now... where are the rest of em?" Swig loaded the supplies that he hoarded onto the minecart and waited for everypony else

(Yeah maybe tomorrow coz i gotta sleep soon, I'll probably do a dis functiona-family on a road trip pic, ill post the pic late coz im going out tmr) Swig checked the strings on his bow, tighten his nooses and sharpened his knives "I got a pretty stupid plan, loot the market district, the supplies there should keep us alive for weeks if we don't end up killing each other, then we go to the train station, I know the which rails to take, we have to travel by hoof, there are no trains or carts to take us there, unless somepony knows how to repair a broken cart" Swig smiled and puffed out his chest in pride "and we will play eye spy on the way there, just like a functional family"

"look at us, were like a dis-functional family preparing for a roadtrip to Phillydelphia!" Swig sarcastically celebrated "we're one step closer to love and unity! which will fucking end this winter! just like the history book said!" Swig sarcastically turned around in anger

"Someplace warmer? there is no such thing as "Some Place Warmer" the spirits of the windigos will follow us, Where ever ponykind goes the Winter will follow, Haven't your heard the story of "Hearths Warming Eve"? The war caused the Spirits of the Windigos to follow us, History has repeated itself" Swig handed his history book to Redstorm "Chapter 37, it explains why its so cold in Equestria, and how it has happened before" Swig sighed in disappointment "Whereever we go the winter will follow us, we will suffer the same fate as Commander Hurricane, Chancellor Puddinghead and Princess Platinum"

"Chill, don't get mad over your dirty coat" Swig wiped a stream of blood off his face and licked it off his hooves "Plus you look prettier, at least I don't get violent over little things" Swig tried to hold in his laughter "Didn't you learn from last time to not rescue me?, by the way your punches are weak" Swig turned to Redstorm "now where did you say you were going? and why?"

"Fine I wont draw on her, I'll just use my unique "Drawn To Life" magic on her" Swig concentrated his magic and started drawing a rectangular shape that floated on top of Cleo. Swig continued drawing until the rectangle turned into a prism. The holographic shape slowly turned solid and started getting its colour.... It was a brick... A heavy solid hard brick "I told you I wont draw on her" Swig muttered as he tried to finish drawing the brick to life, and dropped it onto Cleo's head

@@RedStorm, "heading out? where are you going?" Swig questioned Redstorm "I believe theres plenty of more loot here in Ponyville, nopony has even looted the market district, we dont have to leave until the loot runs out" @@Skullbuster, "I dont mind Cleo if she tries to kill me, she wont succeed" Swig levitated a charred piece of wood and drew a tuxedo over her coat "I always survive, even if i got shot square in the head" Swig jokingly said. "my secret method of surviving is to NOT try to survive, karma takes me the other way around"

@@RedStorm, @@Skullbuster, @, Swig woke up early the following morning and Cleo was still asleep, Swig levitated a piece of charred wood from the fireplace and drew all over Cleo's face. "Better get moving, wake up Cleo..." Cleo refused to wake up and Swig levitated her and continued walking further away from the station. Swig occasionally shook Cleo violently trying to wake her up, but all she did was snore. "Man, shes heavier than me, I should be the one complaining about the weight" Swig saw Redstorm and a kid through the window and approached the building. "Knock Knock!" Swig used Cleo as a ram and knocked down the door "I found this thing, I think it belongs to you" Swig jokingly said as he threw Cleo in front of them. "I've been tossing her around and shaking her but shes still asleep"

@, "Warmth! fire!" Swig was so cold that he rolled into the fire "Dont worry, my magic prevents me from burning, actually you should be worried because I'm still alive" Swig moved his limbs around, they were still stiff buy they were thawing "I'll be moving around in no time, you should be worried" Swig gave off a sheepish smile

@, "kinky eh?.... maybe I'll save this book for another time... when nopony's around, and I'm heavy because muscle weighs more than fat!" Swig stuffed the book into his saddle bag "HELP! HELP! HELP ME!!! MY NOSE IS ITCHY AND I CANT MOVE!" Swig stuck his tongue out trying to scratch his nose with it "I Cant Reach!, Oh Sweet Equestria! SAVE ME!"
