My Little Pony Flashing Life TRACK 08 VERSE 24

Verse 24

I followed Chief through the castle once more, this time so he could show me the guards of the empire that I’d be leading. Though he did give me a bit of fair warning… That warning was that they weren’t really in the best of moods for a new leader other than the rulers themselves. When we stepped in and saw all the shiny guards, they all looked at me with an annoyed corner look. I felt a bit nervous, but stood up as if I knew what I was doing.

SCORE: Encounter (Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes)

Shining Armor: Everyone, I want you to welcome your new captain!

Guards:…..*Look coldly*

Flash:…..Uh….

Shining Armor: Go on! Introduce yourself!

Flash: Oh! Er… right! *Ahem* Hello-er… Greetings, fellow guards! My name is Flash Sentry! And from this day forth, I will be your new captain! I need not your approval or disapproval! All I need is your cooperation and abilities, both individually and as a team! Do I make myself CLEAR?!.... *Doesn’t get a response*

Shining Armor: *Coughs and stomps the floor*…

Guards: SIR, YES SIR!!!

Flash: Huh? Oh! Excellent! Uh… Right! At ease, soldiers! Carry on! I will be finishing discussions with the prince, so you all return to… whatever it was you were doing! *Walks over to Shining and they leave* Uh… How was that?

Shining Armor: Déjà vu, that’s what I’d call it.

Flash: What do you mean?

Shining Armor: Nothin’ I just remembered how I first started as a captain. I was somewhat nervous too.

Flash: What are you talking about?! Nervous?! Me?!

Shining Armor: Flash, you’re worse at lying than Applejack.

Flash: Who’s Applejack? And where have I heard that name before?

Shining Armor: She’s one of my sister’s friends. You outta meet her sometime.

Flash: Wait… *Remembers when he first heard the name from talking to Moonlit Spark the first time and she mentions Applejack’s name as part of an old saying her mother told her, then remembers the second time in his dream when she told him that she was his daughter, but wouldn’t tell him who her mother was and now remembers-*

Shining Armor: Hey, FLASH!

Flash: ACK!!! *Gets cut off*

Shining Armor: You zoned out for a sec. Is something wrong?

Flash: Oh… Uh… No… Nothing’s wrong, I was just uh… thinking.

Shining Armor: Well think about it later. We got some more things to go over. Come on already!

Flash: Okay! Sorry, Chief!

Shining Armor: Anyways, I remember being very nervous when I was first put in charge of the Canterlot EUP Guards as the captain, but I was able to adjust. You should be able to in due time. I just hope you’re up for the responsibilities that come with it! You’ll have to be attentive at all points to hold down this position. It was a full-time job for me, and it might not be too easy. Can I trust that you will be able to handle it?

Flash: You’re putting your trust in me, sir?

Shining Armor: I am. You’ve been a follower, now it’s time you learned how to be a leader.

Flash: And you’re sure I can do this? I don’t know if those other guys thought to well of me being their leader.

Shining Armor: Well you said it yourself that you don’t need their approval or disapproval. Go by your words, Flash.

Flash: (Yeah, I think I just spoke myself into a corner…) Well… Alright. I’ll give it my best, Chief!

Shining Armor: Good answer! So, here is your new armor and backup spear! I assume you’re still using the old Lightning Spear, right?

Flash: You always told me to stick to my strongest assets… *Looks at the Crystal Armor design and then back to his original gold and blue armor* Though… Sorry, sir. I don’t mean to be rude, but are there any differences in the armor here and the armor from Canterlot?

Shining Armor: Well no, not by much. It IS mostly cosmetic. Why?

Flash: Well… I kind of gotten used to this armor design. It’s really grown attached to me ever since I wore it in the academy. And it still has plenty of years left on it, so…

Shining Armor: Yeah, I get that… After all, I did the same thing. I was just offering, just in case.

Flash: Yeah, I noticed that! And thank you for the offer, but I’d like to stick to my old armor for now.

Shining Armor: That’s fine with me. I could never get rid of my old violet armor! It’s a classic!

Flash: Though nothing will beat that Seraph armor that was “unbreakable”! Hahah!!!

Shining Armor: Hahah! YEAH! *They both laugh for a moment until Shining Armor glares into his eyes* Are you making fun of me, soldier?

Flash: Eep… no… *Sweats a bit*

Shining Armor: Gooooooood…. *Walks forward* C’mon, Flash! Got a few more things!

Flash: Right behind you, Chief!
