“What, like you made us last night!?”

“So, gonna prank us again?…”

 

 

 

[A sandwich. Apparently not for a pony, as it has turkey and salami. Packed with meats and lettuce, onions and tomatoes, it really is a pristine sandwich that you would not mind eating, even if it was bit in half. However, upon inspection you see something glinting inside it, something dark.]

 

[QUEST DROPPED: SPEAR MASTERY]

[You give Applejack your Pickaxe.]

“Well, if we find any ores, it’d be a good way to get some extra cash since we’re not really in a position to get jobs right now. Plus, you can swing a lot better than I can, now.”

“Oh by the way, I invited Wheaties to the castle and she’s in the bedroom across from us, so if you wanna say hi, she’s here.”

“So I was thinking we could take her and the group out for some lunch and drinks. I have a plan about something, so we might take Gyro too, if that’s alright. My treat?”

“Wait, what?”

“Alright. Can you tell the others about it? I need some time to go meditate to see if I can’t work on my mana pool a little bit.”

“11 o’clock. Come get me if I’m in a trance or something, okay?”

[-4 MP]

[-4 MP]

[-4 MP]

“Just havin’ a jog!”

[-4 MP/-4 MP/-4 MP]

[ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPx-nUqLMtc ]

“Don’t stop me noooow, I’m havin’ such a good time, I’m havin’ a- Oh, hey!”

“Havin’ a jog.”

“Havin’ a jog.”

“Havin’ a jog.”

“Havin’ a defying-gravity jog. Oh, almost out…”

[-4 MP]

[Spell: Wallwalking has been fully learned, now working at 100% efficiency and able to upgrade.]

“There we go. Alright, see ya Shining!”

“…200 degrees, that’s why they call me Mr. Fahrenheit…”

“Ooh.”

“I am absolutely starved, hon, but I think there may be bologna-based evil afoot. Keep the pancakes safe, I'm going to investigate the mystery of what dark condiments lay between these innocuous-looking slices of bread.”

 

 

“I was just about to ask you the same thing.”

“Me either… It came out of this sandwich that one of the shadowy monsters had before.”

“I’ll make sure to ask Twilight about it.”

[STRANGE BLACK GEM ADDED TO INVENTORY]

“Well… anyways, If you want to go see Wheaties, Pinkie’s with her right now. We’re going out to lunch at 11, maybe ask Twilight to come if she wants, or her friends?”

“I’m going to meditate for a bit and see if I can’t do something about my mana.”

“I’ll try not to. Save me some pancakes, too!”

 

 

[MEDITATION]

[Now that you have experience meditating, you are able to choose a variety of things to concentrate on.]

 

-Fortitude [Focus on your mana as a whole, expanding it overtime.] (Raises MP)

-Might [Focus upon the potency of your magical flow, allowing more powerful abilities.] (Raises MA and chance to discover offensive spells)

-Redoubt [Focus on strengthening your bastion of magic, allowing stronger defenses.] (Raises MD and chance to discover defensive spells)

-Advanced/Specific [Concentrate the very nature of a spell you already own, and further its knowledge for greater effect.] (Trains a specific ability)

-Clarity [Empty your mind of all thoughts and processes, letting your chi grow your mana in sheer magical potential.] (Slowly raises MP, MD and MA and chance to discover rare spells)

 

 

 

[You align your chi with your mana flow, beginning to realize your magical limit. You gradually begin to bend its will, speeding up its flow and expanding your pool, stretching it farther and farther until it’s too far to shrink back, and your presence begins to fill it with the necessary mana, permanently increasing your magical power.]

[YOU HAVE GAINED +5 BASE MP!]

“Hey, are you okay?”

“…I take it you got that letter from Celestia, then?”

[ACQUIRED CELESTIA’S LETTER]

“So uh, while I read this, did you want to learn some healing and portal magic?”

[You open the scroll and begin to read the letter.]

 

My Faithful Subject,

 

(Twilight Sparkle) I ask you to hold on and stay strong. I have always told you of a day when an enemy would threaten Equestria that would not be able to be solved by using the Elements of Harmony, and that day is now. The future may look bleak, but there are many ponies (and a human), trying their best to eliminate this threat, and all we can do is have faith. I will ask you, however, to utilize your resources you have in the Crystal Empire and find something, anything relating to this shadow. I have fear that it is not from our world at all, but that does not rule out that it could be destroyed with something that destroys darkness.

 

In other news from Ponyville, most of the construction is completed, including your library. Your assistant Spike is also on his way to the Crystal Empire to meet you, safe and sound, I thought you might like that. The other ponies who’ve been injured in the initial attack have mostly healed, but there are those still mourning for the lives lost. Please, stay strong my student.

 

(Anonymous) I would like to congratulate you first on finding and learning Starswirl’s notes! Princess Cadance had sent me a letter with her postal service and they both came in within an hour of each other. In her letter, she told me that Twilight tells her that you are coming along nicely with your training in magic. I am astounded by your progress of magic, and would like to speak with you further on the matter when this shadow’s threat is vanquished.

 

On to more important matters, your friend Gyro Gear has been contacted by our royal army, and there is a very large shipment headed for Canterlot, Manehattan and Las Pegasus of your… interesting weapon. I hope you don’t mind that I took the liberty of renaming the invention while under our guard’s care, as your sense of humor, while endearing, might be lost on a few of my subjects. I appreciate your help with our defense, and I will be purchasing one of the coming smaller versions for myself and my sister due to our weakened state.

 

As for your research on the magical malady that is afflicting Steel Magnolia, I’m afraid I must’ve let a strand go without obliteration. It is called the Jovius Curse, a deathly magical illness that was thought to be eradicated centuries ago, but has unfortunately resurfaced in this poor stallion. The only way we could treat it was to completely destroy the magic from the victim, which would leave them weak, flightless and powerless. I would travel to the Crystal Empire myself to cure him, but I don’t have the magic to perform it. I wish there was another way, but any research is greatly appreciated. Before you try it, I do warn you that healing magic will not work on curses, as they’re an entirely different form of magic that healing does not cure.

 

With this knowledge, I hope that you find what you seek, but as much as I have faith in what you’re doing, I am going to draw the line on something that Cadance alerted me to in her letter. You have plans for entering the hive of Queen Chrysalis with a mentally detached changeling at your side. I’m aware of Cadance parting with one of her artifacts to aid you, and your budding magical powers, but it will not be enough. Their hive may be corrupted, but it is not a place for you to go, nor my other subjects. Luna and I will take care of it, and we are devising a plan as we speak - so I will have to ask you not to go into such a dangerous place. If you feel that you absolutely have to try such a suicidal tactic, I will not stop you, but I will stop you from taking anypony else with you. Now that you are a citizen of Equestria, and as much as I respect you, I will not hesitate to exercise force if you attempt to take your assembled group. If you really respect my word and rule, you will not go in there at all.

 

To reiterate, I know you’re helping, and you will be getting that medical license that you’ve asked for in time. (I bet you thought she didn’t remember?) I apologize for being so firm, but I have a great love and instinct for my subjects. Say hello to your group for me, and please send word if you need anything else.

 

Sincerely,

Princess Celestia

 

[End Letter]

 

 

“Well, I guess my plans for the hive have been shattered.”

“What seems to have you so out of sorts, Twilight? Anything I can do to help?”

“What is it?”

“No, it’s okay. Anyways, I read that Spike’s alright now, that’s good.”

“Can you talk while you work?”

“Well, about this Jovius Curse. Can you tell me more about it, or curses in general?”

“Would a manaseal or some sort of drain weaken the curse’s effects?”

“What if we did something like a blood transfusion, but with magic? Can we completely drain him a different way and give him magic through other means?”

“Alright. One more thing, uh, I saw you talking to Cadance before. Do you know if she got the healing spell to work, and if she tried it on the outpost guards?”

[-8 MP]

“Is there something wrong with that?”

“Okay. Thanks.”

 

 

 

“Wait, what did you mean but unless we have something, for the magic draining thing?”

“You just said nevermind in the middle of it.”

“This curse was supposed to have been eradicated, right? The number of ponies who even know about it seems rather limited. Given that this seems to be a rather unique case, the curse can't have spread far… the pony in the hospital might even have been directly cursed… If curses take a portion of the caster's life force like you said… would it be possible to analyze the patient's magic and trace it back to whoever cursed him?”

“So, what if we found the caster anyways? Could we match whatever part of himself he left with the curse to him?”

“So, the Jovius Curse dies when a user's magic is completely cut off, is the gist of it?”

“What if we were to restrict him from accessing his own mana, sort of form a 'reservoir' so that the curse dies off and then we can flood his body with mana again?”

“I found a spell at Fortuna Potions called the Aphitis Cuffs. It can indefinitely manaseal someone without hurting them, until a special word is spoken. Have they tried that yet?”

“Really?”

“Oh.”

“How about a teleportation or portal spell? Could we possibly separate him from the curse, or even his magic that way?”

“No problem. I’m not using it anymore anyways.”

“I have one more thing. The Changeling might know a few more things about draining magic, considering they feed off of love. It might know where to start?”

“Right… So, since the hive plan's a bust… what should we do about the Changeling? You obviously know more about them than I do. I wouldn't feel right suddenly turning around and treating it like a prisoner… I suppose that's just a bit of outsider sentiment… but I've already stepped on enough toes trying to stick my neck out for it, so I'll trust your judgment on this one.”

“Wait… what?”

“…”

 

 

“Where is he?”

 

“Hey, Pinkie.”

 

 

“It’s nothing important. I had a bit of chronic hero syndrome but I decided against it. Will’s right anyways, friends are more important. So, let’s see if Gyro wants to come and get something to eat, huh?”

 

“I figured I might try and levitate something to train it up a bit. my skills in that department are weaker than a filly unicorn’s, still.”

“I’ve become a bit more magic-oriented, and the armor wasn’t going to help me with that.”

“Y-you too.”

“Well, I can use healing magic and create portals.”

“I can’t use them yet because I don’t have the mana, but I know them.”

“You mean, pay you?”

“As we’re going to the place where I get my royalties?”

“Oh really? What’s going on, man?”

[-8 MP]

“I might’ve done something there. But I want to ask you, what is all this?”

“Wow.”

 

 

 

 

“Oh, you know… fighting corrupted yetis and a god of hate while trekking through a dangerous tundra, just to come back to save a corrupted Princess Cadance.”

“I wouldn’t say that. I’ve just been doing what I needed to do. I’ve also been boosting my magic up and actually learned some healing and portal magic, but putting that aside-”

“Also, for the contracts you’ve been getting, I’ve been talking to Cadance and Shining Armor, as well as Celestia. They’re the reason you’ve got those.”

“Anywho, I actually have somepony with me here you haven’t met yet. Gyro, this is my friend Wheaties.”

“We’re all going out to eat and get a few drinks. I insist that you come along, my friend.”

“But first, uh, you both might need a shower.”

“That’s me…”

“OH GOYIM, CHECK’EM!”

“YO!”

“How much is this?!”

 

 

 

 

“Red… babe? Wake up. Hey… you alright?”

“We’re filthy rich, that’s what happened.”

“Know what we’re gonna do with it?”

“We must now spend disgusting amounts of money.”

“Right now, let’s just see where it takes us.”

“Oh! Uh, sorry. Good to see you cleaned up, that’s all… Hey, Pinkie.”

“Here…”

[You give Pinkie 1,000 bits.]

“A little seed money for the real party planner. How about you lead the day today?”

“So, before we go, do you mind if we buy something real quick? I just want to get some more defibrillators, kablooie powder, and see how much the weapons are.”

[This pistol-shaped firearm has the capacity to fire pure magic instead of kinetic ammunition. Whether it’s for the combat-challenged unicorn or those with an innate magical sense, It will utilize your mana as a form of ranged attack in the same vein as a hand/hoofheld weapon. (R, +50 MA, -5 MP per shot. Can choose a different aspect of magic to fire for different magical values. Currently set to Arcane.)]

 

[The intrinsic value of this item is in its enchanting possibilites. Acting as a potion and a trinket, it is a very useful item. (Large Mana potion, refillable with mana and contents can be enchanted for enhanced magical effects.)]

 

[Gyro’s most recent invention along with the F.L.A.R.E., it seems to be a miniature robot with painted green metals in the shape of a human, fingers and toes abound. You’re not sure how he figured out what your toes look like, but it’s accurate. (Program-oriented minion - Use it to program it for a simple task that a full-sized person or pony can’t do.)]

 

 

“Hey, what’s the airship for, anyways?”

“Oh. Well, if you can’t find a pilot, why don’t you let someone else try and figure it out while you’re working?”

“Then not a pony. What if I flew it?”

“My world’s a lot more technologically advanced than Equestria, so why not?”

[REDIRECTING COMMAND . . .]

 

[The rifle that you and Gyro created for a shipment to the Princesses’ armies. Although made for a pony’s hooves, the trigger will work for claws and fingers and is just the right size to shoulder-holster. Its range is much farther than the other firearms, and can be attached with a scope for increased accuracy. (R, +150 PA, 10 turn reload, 1 oz. of Kablooie powder per shot, can shoot up to 2 miles away)]

 

[The pistol that you and Gyro created for a shipment to the Princesses’ armies. Although made for a pony’s hooves, the handle can be adjusted for claws and hooves as well. It has the same precision as the rifle and is much easier to reload, but has less range and damage, but can also be dual-wielded with proper skill. (R, +40 PA, 3 turn reload after six shots, 1 oz. of Kablooie powder per round of shots)]

“Hey Iron, since I’m trying out this new one and I can use it with my wand, you can have my old one.”

“What?”

“N-no, just thought you could use it the best.”

“I just feel like we’ll need them.”

“Thanks for all that. Anyways, are you ready?”

 

“So, this recombobulator thing, would I be able to transfer the complete mana pool from someone into it? There’s this stallion named Steel Magnolias who’s in a coma, induced by something called the Jovius Curse. Since it’s a magical curse, completely removing the magic from him would kill it. Would this be able to do that?”

“Alright. I’ve been looking for a way to drain mana and to hold it, so this should work.”

“I can eat anything, but I’d love some meat.”

“Is he french?”

“Er, thanks.”

 

“Oh, you do?”

“Well, until they say something I don’t see why not, right?”

 

“Hmm… Can I get a seared flounder in lemon-scampi sauce, with sides of steamed broccoli and riced pilaf?”

“In that case… She’ll have the breaded eggplant steak, with potatoes au gratin and asparagus.”

“Oh, well, after those… uuh, how about we get her to surprise us, anything on the menu?”

“Randomize it, please. Surprise us!”

[Party well fed! Skill and stat increases are boosted by 33% for the rest of the day.]

 

 

 

 

 

“Alright, lead the way. Don’t try anything funny, though, I saw that smile!”

“…No.”

“Okay! Uh, no, I was going to ask you something else, I mean.”

“I was wondering if you ever thought about giving that microphone on your face to AJ. You’ve seen what that mask of hers can do, so I bet it would really amp up her vocal power.”

“Don’t you have a bunch back in your trailer?”

“That sounds fine. Thanks.”

“Well, what’s the selection?”

“Yeah, we’re separated. Oh well…”

“Yeah…”

“Huh… There’s not too many ponies in here, is there?”

 

 

“If this is a pony version of Sex and the City, I'm going to become the Equestrian Ed Wood just to spite Pinkie and AJ, I swear on the sun and stars.”

“He’s uhh… director for.. stuff.”

“…Let’s just say he was quite the man.”

“…”

“It’s alright.”

“It’s okay, really.”

 

 

 

 

“She gave me and Iron tickets to Elsa’s Estrus.”

“No.”

“So, I bet you guys think you're pretty clever, huh? I'll admit it took us a minute to get a BEAD on the situation,”

“With you STRINGING us along like that, but I can still get BEHIND a good prank. Just don't be surprised if you're the BUTT of the next joke.”

“I’m alright, but thanks for asking.”

“Ready?”

“Alright, Pinkie, where next?”

 

 

 

“Alright, we had some fun, but I need to stop at another store while I’m thinking about it. You guys wanna go to the Wither again?”

 

“You okay? You don’t look so well.”

“Is it with what Berry was talking to you about?”

“…I’m gonna ask anyways, and you know it.”

“…Oh. Oh!”

“So, this gun can fire spells as bullets, huh? Like, I could cast a fire-based spell through it and it'd catch whatever it hit on fire? Does it work on spells with positive effects too, like shielding or power-ups? This is a cool little gadget, Gyro.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Of course it will. I don’t think he’d let anypony start swinging weapons left and right.”

“Okay, fine, fine. Real question, how much would it be to make an armor out of this yeti hide base that my friend Iron Will here is wearing?”

“Sure.”

 

“I’d like to sell back the armor I bought here, as I won’t be needing it anymore, along with a few other things.

“…It’s a robe.”

“Why, I ask? Just doesn’t make much sense that a man of my stature should have to wear a dress? It’s a robe!”
