AdventureNon Part 2

>The sound of combat echoes through the halls and chambers of the Moon Palace, steel on steel, screams and shouts of rage and sorrow. Alchemist Anon and Sword mage Luna stand surrounded by vile shadows, their stamina all but depleted they strive on against the ever growing tide of enemies.
Anon kicks back a shadow and hurls a potion at the floor, creating a large circle of green blazing fire, giving him a momentary rest. “There’s too many!”
>Luna shield slams a larger shadow into a bunch of its compatriots. “My energy runs thin! We must withdraw!”
Anon turns and watches as the doors they entered from are slammed shut by a new horde of shadow minions. “Its too late…”
>Luna head buts another shadow and hurls her blade into another. “Neigh friend Anonymous! It is never too late! We must persevere!”
Anon just shrugs and drops his rapier as the shadows overwhelm him. “Eh.”
>Luna wipes a single tear away as she watches the rest of the shadows turn to her. “You will not be forgotten my valiant ally..” She turns to her enemies and lets out a fearsome roar as she charges straight into them. “YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!”

>Anon and Luna respawn outside the dungeon.
“Dang I thought we had it that time.”
>Luna slumps down to the ground and rubs her aching temple. “We have to be missing something friend Anonymous, there seems to be no end to them, no matter how many we cut down, we just can‘t keep up.”
Anon kicks a rock and watches it go sailing into the distance. “Alright… we need help.”
>She looks up at him with an exasperated look. “And where would we get this help friend Anonymous? As far as I know, we are alone on this moon.”
He smiles and motions to his open palm. “I may have a magical ace up my sleeve…”
>Luna raises a regal eyebrow. “I thought you said you were devoid of magic?”
Shrugging, Anon takes out a piece of chalk and quickly draws a circle around him. “It’s old magic, magic that has been around since the beginning of time as we know it. Runes… or, words of power.”
>Curiosity piqued, Luna pushes herself off the ground and watches him intently.
Anon closes his eyes in concentration. “With these words of power… it should be possible to summon up some help.”
>“But who will heed our call?”
“Who knows, you never really know who’s farting around till you try.”
Anon dusts off his jacket, stretches his neck till it cracks before taking a deep breath and yelling into the sky. “TANK AND HEALER LFG!”
>With a crack, the sky opens up and both Luna and Anon are blinded by a sudden bright light. They hunker together as a wind comes from seemingly nowhere and buffets their gear. With another loud crack, the sudden phenomenon is gone, leaving in its place three little fillies.
>The three fillies form a pony pyramid and proclaim. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADER ADVENTERERS GUILD!”
>“Perhaps we were better alone…”
“Now now Luna, they look very mature for their age.”
>A’m Applebloom! Ranger supreme!”
>“I’m Scootaloo, master sneak-thief!”
>“And I’m Sweetie Belle! Dread Neighcromancer”
“Oh my god...“ Anon cringes and sharply bends over. “That’s adorable.”
>Luna nods in agreement. “True true, but… they’re still fillies.”
“Oh come on Luna, when I was their age I was already out punting gobos all over the countryside.”
>Scootaloo turns to her two friends. “Hey guys… what are we doing on the moon…”
>Appleblooms eyes light up. “The moon?! Ma sister said there are moon apples to be found! We’ll get our cutie marks in moon farming! We‘ll eve make a boatload of bits!”
>Sweetie Belle happily jumps up and down. “That’s GENIUS!”
>Scootaloo shakes her head and turns back to Luna. “So Princess Luna, what are we doing here?”
>Shocked, Luna bends down to look her in the eye. “You know me young filly?”
>Scootaloo makes a weird face. “Well duh, you helped me out, you know… At camp.”
>“What? But I do not..”
>Applebloom hops over Scootaloo and yells. “And you were the one to tell us to start this guild!”
>Sweetie belle squeaks. “Ya! We’re gonna be famous adventures!”
>Luna turns to Anon and gives him a questioning look.
He just shrugs and returns the look. “Time on the moon is convoluted?”
>Luna takes a deep breath before turning back to the fillies and formally addresses them. “As you seemingly know, I am Princess Luna, and this is Anon the alchemist Hero of the land.“
>Applebloom pipes up. “What land?”
>Luna shrugs. “Well now, if I was the one to set you upon this path, then I must trust myself and you to live up to those expectations.”
>The three fillies all line up and salute. “AYE AYE Raid leader!”
Anon laughs. “Alright, with that settled, lets get down to business then.”
>Luna smiles and raises her sword toward the Moon Palace. “Yes, we have a moon to escape from.”
