Chapter 2: The Friendship Express
After a unanimous vote, the Party decides to head out and defeat the Mongolian Warlord Sun Tzu. Fluttershy sings out, "~Angellllll~" Soon a small white bunny appears out of nowhere and hops to Fluttershy. "We wouldn't want to forget you now would we?"As our heroes step out of the hospital, they look around and see how Canterlot has turned from a metropolitan capital into New Lunar Republic HQ. Houses and stores have been converted to shelters, hospitals and military posts. Trucks and tanks rubble on the cobblestone, while planes and helicopters fly about in the sky. Rainbow Dash trots over to a nearby soldier pony, who wears a black NLR uniform. "Yeah hi, I'm Rainbow Dash, and me and my friends were wondering if we get a ride over to wherever Genghis Khan is." The pony calls out, "Get the party on the Friendship Express!" Soon, a large entourage of soldiers is escorting the Party onto the said pink train.
As the Party steps on-board, an Orange Pony is there to greet them. She salutes. "I am Colonel Golden Harvest, but you may refer to me as Carrot Top." The train whistle blows and soon the wheels of the train turn. "Genghis Khan has invaded Equestira from the Eastern Front, overtaking towns and cities. Our forces fight valiantly, but he seems to be to much for our conventional army to handle. We will arrive shortly."
After an hour or so of talking, banter, and awkward flirting, (mainly from one Pegasus) the Friendship Express stops. Stepping off, the Party sees a desert-like area filled with ponies, people, material, gunshots and explosions going about everywhere. Ponies hide behind sandbags and improvised walls. Off in the distance NRL forces fight with what must be Mongolian forces. "I have to go see how my divisions are going. You guys do what you best. Good luck!" Carrot Top gallops away. The Party turns to face the on-going battle...
So here we are with our first battle of Act II! Well, actually not. These Mongolian warriors are just of mook-level, nowhere near Genghis Khan and his elite bodyguard unit. So charge in, and test your characters attacks on enemy cannon fodder. Have fun!
