open Equestria's Darkest Hour

[Flareon 151]

Storm looked at the other AI unit and his eyes widened "Aw man that's so cool you have two of them now I'm really jealous of you. But it's nice to meet you too Epsilon I'm the owner and teacher at my new flight school in Ponyville." Storm smiled proudly altough he might have lost to Rainbow Dash he was still happy with his choice. He knew the Gala was going to be a lot of fun but he made a promise to Celestia that he would keep an eye out for those two evil ponies if he did see them he wouldn't think twice about trying to stop them.

 

Rainbow saw Pinkie board the train and smiled when she came over to them "Hey Pinkie that dress suits you perfectly I doubt Rarity could've made a dress any better for you." Rainbow looked around and saw Twilight and wondered who it was that she was talking to and thought it would be best to get her attention. "Hey Twilight over here come over and join us!"

Hank smiles at what he said "i have 9 more." Right when he said that all 11 appear in front of Hank. What can be seen on the back of his head his 11 panels for the AIs.

Epsilon nods "thats cool. Do you have any customers?"

Hank smiles "dont be jealous... They read can read my mind and if they are awake at night im awake. Also the pony who gave me this said that if sold the pony will be rich forever."

[Molporgnier 3]

Twilight swivled her head at the sound of Rainbow's voice, she was delighted to see Pinkie and Fluttershy there with her.

 

"Master Skullkin, I'd like to introduce you to some of my friends." The statement took Skullkin aback. The Idea of Twilight having friends was odd, if not impossible. She trotted over to her friends, checking back every so often to make sure Skullkin hadn't been lost in the crowd.

 

His memories came back to him: Celestia's request to guard her during the day as she taught classes, her little pupil coming in and seeming so much like him when he was young; watching her grow into the mare she was today. And now she had friends, her biggest fear, overcome.

 

Twilihgt waved her hoof infront of each pony after giving their name.

 

"This is Rainbow dash, that's Pinkie Pie, and that's Fluttershy."

 

He bowed, then took each of their hooves in hoof and kissed them before kissing their cheeks.

 

"I am Skullkin, First Guard of Princess Celestia, Last Survivor of the Discord war and Grand Master of the Knights of the Mare."

[Flicker Sweet 3,391]

Celestia looked around as the castle began top fill with guests. She felt a slight spur of disappointment when she couldn't spot Twilight or any of her friends........her mind began to drift back to that event earlier with the book........What if something happens here? she feared

[Flareon 151]

The train wistle blew and soon it was off it would only take a half hour to get to the Gala, Storm in the mean time had been enjoying the company of Hank although he had wanted to find Rainbow Dash. He made his was through the trainn car bumping into Flaret "Oh sorry I didn't mean to bump into you I hope I didn't mess up your dress." The train was already rolling up on the station soon they would be departing for what they hoped would be a grand night.

 

Rainbow was surprised seeing Twilight with another pony let alone one that seemed so different from anypony that she would normally be around. "Twilight I didn't think you knew anypony outside of Ponyville, and Skullkin it's nice to meet you you seem really cool so what are you doing hanging out with Twilight." The train pulled up into the station slowing down and finally stopping the doors opening and starting to let everypony out of the train.

"I am a freaking pony thank you very much. Gosh dang it your friends are pretty stupid." Shadow said, walking up to the door and presenting her ticket. She was already in a black dress with a red trim. "Are you coming?" She asked the guys behind her walking in and looking around.

 

(I am so sorry. Ive been in two other rps and I forgot about this.)

 

"Your new boss must be a dumbass." Hirue said as the three of them followed shadows lead. "Who the hell would mix ponies with pure breed Yokai?"

 

"I cant even get past that musky smell that hovers around them. It makes me sick to even disguise myself as them!" Rotto said, spitting. He was loud enough for shadow to hear. "It doesnt matter. We'll do all the work and he can go and be as useless as all the other ponies. As far as Im concerned, we're babysitting!"

"I've," his eyes revolved around the violet mare, "Some catching up to do with her." Twilight smiled and nodded, happy to finally have time with him and Celestia in the same night. The brown wood doors opened to a cascade of multi-colored ponies and stallions, all in the fanciest of garb.

Pinkie pie shook his hoof in the only way pinkie pie new how... with great force.With a quick smile. She said in her exited voice, "Hello, i'm Pinkie pie i throw the best party's!" she said happily.She had a big grin on her face planning his welcome party, all the balloons that would be there.

[kappa214 76]

Hank got up also as he walks off. He kept walking as his scar can be seen by everypony there. The ones that look at the back of his head can see the 11 panels for the AIs. As he walks he hums a song. He loves to keep moving which is why he was walking. The ones that can hear the humming seems to like it. He still walks around the train humming waiting for the best night to happen.

[Shift 4,272]

Rarity couldn't find the others, and ended up walking into a really weird room. She spit her tongue out in disgustment.

 

"This room sucks."

 

Rarity attempted to walk out, but stepped in some weird green substance. She was "stuck" to the floor. Rarity looked down, but didn't panic. She just looked around for the exit, but the weird green goo was holding the door shut. Now was time to panic.

 

"HELP MEEEE!" Rarity yelled, but then stopped. Gee, why must she rely on them to get out? She struggled to get away from the green goo, using Sweetie Belle alone as something to fight for.

 

Applejack, however, was having a great day. She had a barrel of bits, and the line stretched a long whiles. AJ smiled, and thought she heard some yelling.

 

"Aw, jus' mah imagination." AJ told herself, as she gave an Apple Pie to a regular who bought some pie last time.

[Flareon 151]

Storm took the time he had now to break away he wanted to find Rainbow Dash letting his wings unfold he flew around the main grounds for a bit passing a little food stand with apples on it but didn't see any sight of Rainbow. Flying into the main hall he saw Princess Celestia greeting those that entered the Gala, after making his greetings he made his way down a long corridor before hearing someone calling for help. Storm used his flames to burn the goo off and then kicked open the door "Hey are you all right? Let me get you out of there." Storm slowly burned away the goo freeing the white pony.

 

Rainbow waved goodbye to everypony she wanted to stay with them for the night but she wanted to meet a few people making her way through some of the crowd she soon found herself in one of the Grand Halls with other guests. Looking around she found one of the people she was looking for "Hey Spitfire hey." Dash flew over but was surprised when Spitfire gave her a confused look "It's me Rainbow Dash remember." Dash was shocked when Spitfire suddenly scophed and walked away.

[kappa214 76]

Hank walks around the grounds trying to find Rarity hoping that he can actually get her to like him. He walks around the rooms hearing Rarity yell for help "Rarity?" He calls heading in the direction he heard the voice. He stops outside the door Rarity is at "Rarity are you in here?" He knocks on the door as he had Epsilon go inside the room to see who it is. Once he saw Rarity "stuck" to the ground he broke down the door as he looks around the room "wow.... What happened here?" He threw a rope around her as he pulls her out.

[Literally Snails 2,307]

"I've," his eyes revolved around the violet mare, "Some catching up to do with her." Twilight smiled and nodded, happy to finally have time with him and Celestia in the same night. The brown wood doors opened to a cascade of multi-colored ponies and stallions, all in the fanciest of garb.

 

(Still waiting for shadow to reply :\) Rotto had on his only ourfit he had, which was far from dressy. He had a dark green jacket with a long coat tail, and one blackk boot on each fake hoof. When he saw Twilight enter the castle halls, he slyly slipped behind her and gave her a polite tap on the shoulder. "Excuse me ma'am." He said in his raspy, slow voice. "Are you the young mare named Twilight Sparkle? I've just been looking all over for you."

Shadow turned around to face the demons. The one who had insulted her had gone to talk to some other pony. "I would learn to control that friend of yours Buta whatever your name is." Shadow said, and evil look in her eyes. "Wouldn't want some horrible accident resulting in death to befall them now would you." Se said in a slight joking, but very serious tone. "Now what were we sent to do again, I was to busy studying her books which held all kinds of mystery's?" She asked.

"You should know, pony." Butajiri said, "She gave the book to you. She wants you to cast some spell and for some reason she thinks it's necessary to take us her."

 

"Don't mind our friend." The earth pony added. "Everything he said was true, but he should still keep his mouth shut. Sometimes it's easy to forget how easily you creatures have your egos bruised."

 

"You have moved your tongue enough for one night, Hirue." Butajiri snapped.

Skullkin landed a heavy hoof down near Twilight, memories of assassination flooding his mind and his years of protecting Celestia kicking in. His eyes burned with a sort of rage, as hundreds of memories attempted to flash in halucinations across his periphery. Twilight placed a hoof on his chest, and gave him a nod of dismisal. He moved only as far as her hoof moved him.

 

"Yes, I'm Twilight Sparkle. But, you have me at a disadvantage, Mr.?"

"Oh, it's not important." he said with a chuckle. "Just look at the way I dress. I'm just a lower class. You, however, are important. One can't walk a few blocks without hearing mention of you. I have also heard a lot about your companions. We all do what we must. I just hope you didn't say... Get attached to one of them."

[Flareon 151]

Storm looked around the room unsure as to what the green substance was but glad to see that Hank had jumped in when he did. Watching as Hank doated over the white pony made him feel a little akward "I'll uh let you guys be I'm sure that you can take care of her right Hank." Storm headed towards the secondary Grand Hall. He noticed off in the distance the Wonderbolt's and Rainbow Dash following trying to get them to notice her. Storm made his way closer and when Spitfire saw him she stopped "Hey well there's someone note worthy." Rainbow glared at Storm hating how he was able to gain the attention of Spitfire. "What makes him better than me?" Spitfire laughed at Rainbow "Well you didn't come in second in the Thunder Wing contest when you do that then maybe you can join us Rainbow Crash." Rainbow glared at both before running away "Rainbow Dash wait.....sorry Spitfire but I'm not interrested it should be her not me you're asking to join." Storm chased after her following her out into the garden.

[anythingmasterz 75]

Fluttershy had managed herself out into the garden, currently looking at the beautiful greenery, when she heard a commotion coming from nearby inside the ballroom. She heard what seemed like Rainbow Dash and then when she turned around to see what was going on, she saw a blue blur followed not too far behind an orange blur. Hearing the last bit of the conversation, Fluttershy decided not to interfere with what was going on with Rainbow Dash, hoping Storm would be able to help her.

[Flareon 151]

Dash stopped in a small bed of flowers tears in her eyes, she never really cried but after what just happened she couldn't hold it in. "Why don't you go hang with your new group Storm and leave me alone." Storm followed her into the flowers putting a wing on her just to have her swat it off. "Dash I turned them down I've never wanted the popularity or the fame. I was looking for others Shining Armor...." Storm put his wing over her again this time she didn't push him away "The other one was you Dash." Dash looked at Storm with surprise, she didn't know what to say but she felt safe and like it was right. Dash extended her wing and put it over Storm "This will sound silly but I was hoping to see you here and get to spend time with you." Storm put his flower in her mane the color showing off with the rest "I didn't tell you yet but you look gorgeous Dash." Storm smile seeing her blush as they started making there way out front wings draped over each other passing Fluttershy.

[Shift 4,272]

Rarity was quiet the entire time they were helping, nodded, and walked away. She felt in a weird mood swing, and that goo was purely evil. Something bad was going on...but what? Rarity headed to the Royal Library to figure something out. Not like she was Twilight or anything, it just needed to be done.

[kappa214 76]

Hank follows Rarity wondering why she only nodded "Rarity whats wrong? Tell me i can help." He follows her to the royal library "why are we in here? I didn't know you like to read." He looks at all the books surprised on how much there are. "is there a certain book you want?"

[Molporgnier 3]

"Oh, it's not important." he said with a chuckle. "Just look at the way I dress. I'm just a lower class. You, however, are important. One can't walk a few blocks without hearing mention of you. I have also heard a lot about your companions. We all do what we must. I just hope you didn't say... Get attached to one of them."

 

 

The ambiguous statement garnered one raised eyebrow and two furrowed, the latter accompanied by ever flickering eyes. Skullkin, touched her foreleg, beckoning her away. Not one to doubt Skullkins judgment of times to leave, she gave a courteous goodbye, and stepped aside with Skullkin.

 

"Master Skullkin, I understand why you're so protective of me, but you don't need to interagate every pony that walks up to me," She had a momentary sprint of thought, "Was there something wrong with him?" As she asked her eyes scanned the horizon for any signs of would-be assassins or the like.

[Flareon 151]

Storm and Dash made their way through the garden keeping their wings over each other as they saw other ponies walking around and enjoying the Gala. "I'm really glad we are spending this time together Rainbow Dash. I wasn't sure if you felt the same way that I did about you." Both of them just stared up at the sky the stars hard to see from the barrier that was protecting everypony at the Gala "I'm really glad you came to Ponyville and we found each other here I'm having a great time." Storm smiled and gave her a kiss on her head. Just off in the distance he saw Princess Celestia who had apparently finally gotten away to get some time alone. Dash and Storm walked up to her "Is everything alright Princess Celestia you seem out of it?" Dash gave Celestia a worried look but was also trying not to show off that she was with Storm Fire but was failing misserably blushing a little.

(are you still in this RP, Shadow? We kind of need you right now.)

 

"This is just perfect." Rotto thought aloud. "She's exactly like I thought she would be. I'm going to be able to do this so easily. I might even get to have a little fun." He reached into his coatpocket, pulled something out, then put it back in after giving it a quick look.
