>As you are walking down the street, a loud clank noise is heard.
>You turn towards where the sound came from and see a shining sword sticking up out of the ground.
>It somehow pierced right through the cobblestone and is standing straight up now.
>A few ponies have noticed as well and begin to walk over.
>The sword seems to glow as it stabs the planet, making you all want it for yourselves.

>You walk up and grab onto the handle.
>Then use your strength and pull up.
>It doesn't even budge.
>Wow...
>You try again but with more force this time.
>It still does not move an inch.
>Holy shit this thing is in deep.
>Begin to stroke your chin in thought.
>A light bulb appears above your head.
>You grab on to the handle and thrust upwards with all of your strength.
>Absolutely nothing.
"FUCK THIS!"
>You stomp over to a bench and slam your ass down.
>Bon Bon comes over to the sword and tilts her head in confusion.
>She bites the handle and pulls.
>It obviously doesn't move.
>Lyra comes up behind her and bites her tail as she bites the handle.
>Both of them pull back.
>It still doesn't move.
>They switch rolls with Lyra holding on to the sword and Bon Bon pulling her.
>That doesn't work either.
>They walk away hanging their heads.
>Fluttershy flies by and then stops when she sees it.
>Her eyes grow wide and then she smirks.
>She brings her hoof up to her mouth and somehow whistles like that.
>A bunch of animals come over to her.
>She instructs them to line up big to small and pull on each other as she pulls the sword.
>The sword moves a little bit but then goes back.
>All of the animals stop and she flies up a little bit.
>She thinks of an idea and then flies back over to her animals.
>The ones that cannot fly besides the bear go back home.
>The bear grabs hold of the sword and all of the flying animals and Fluttershy lift the bear.
>He grabs the sword and then they all fly up at once.
>His paws slip and they all go flying into the sky, crashing behind some buildings.
>You shake your head slightly.
>Applejack is lead up to the sword by her little sister Applebloom.
>AJ walks up to the sword and circles it a bit, studying it.
>Then she turns around and lifts her legs to buck.
>When her hooves strike the sword, it bends and sends the same amount of force back at her as it straightens.
>This sends her flying back into her sister.
>Both of them are knocked unconscious.
>Huh.
>Is it even possible to get this out?
>A tower of shopping bags is seen coming through the town.
>Suddenly they all fall and you see Spike covered in fabric standing right next to Rarity.
>Rarity's eyes are wide and the glow from the sword is reflected in them.
>Spike catches wind of this and rushes over to the sword.
>He pulls on it and it doesn't move.
>Then he scratches his scales thinking of a way to get this gift to his mare.
>His eyes widen and he zooms off.
>He comes back with a rope and ties it to the handle of the sword.
>Then he takes the rope in his mouth and climbs the side of the town square building.
>He then attaches a few cinder blocks up there to the end of the rope and pushes it off the other side.
>The rope tightens and Spike looks back down.
>It hasn't moved.
>Growing desperate now, he adds his own weight to the cinder blocks at the end of the rope.
>The knot on the sword slips off and Spike falls to the ground with the cinder blocks.
>Rarity rushes to his aid and takes him to the hospital.
>A rainbow streak is seen across the sky.
>It curves down to the sword.
>Rainbow Dash is there looking at her reflection in the sword.
>She smirks and then bites down on the handle, pulling back.
>It doesn't move so she tries flying while biting it.
>Still not going anywhere.
>And she looks angry.
>She zooms off.
>A few minutes later an explosion noise is heard.
>You watch as she zooms over with a rope and hook attached to her waist.
>The hook goes right into a tiny hole on the tip of the handle and Rainbow pulls it with the rope.
>To your surprise, the sword comes flying out of the ground.
>When it gets up high, the hook carrying it slips out.
>Rainbow cannot slow down and continues flying off into the distance.
>The sword goes up quite a bit and then stabs right back into the ground at a different spot.
>Are you fucking serious?
>Just then Twilight is seen walking.
>She is snout deep in a book and not looking where she is going.
>The book hits the sword and she drops it accidentally.
>When she looks up to see what she has run into, her pupils grow.
>She bites down on the handle and pulls back.
>It doesn't budge.
>Her brow furrows and she backs away.
>Then her horn glows and a purplish pink aura can be seen around the sword.
>Sweat begins rolling down her face as she tries her hardest to move it.
>The ground around the sword begins to crack and then the chunk of ground is lifted up.
>She tries shaking it loose but cannot and drops it back down.
>With a groan she stomps away angrily.
>Pinkie is bouncing by and stops in mid air.
>Her eyes bulge out, touch the sword, and come back.
>She zooms over there and lands on it.
>She tries pulling it with her teeth.
>Nothing.
>Then she is on top of it pulling it up.
>Still nothing.
>She wraps her tail around the blade and sits on the handle.
>Then her entire body vibrates.
>The sword slightly moves up but then drops back down.
>It sinks even deeper.
>She jumps off and growls at it.
>Then her hooves stretch far away and she pulls a cannon back.
>She puts an actual bomb in it and points it at the sword.
>She presses the button on top and covers her ears with her hooves.
>It fires and makes quite a bang.
>When the clouds of dust clear, you cannot believe what you are seeing.
>The ground around where the sword is has been blown up, save for a lone spire where the sword rests.
>Pinkie's eye twitches.
>Then steam shoots out of her ears and all the smut explodes off her body.
>She jumps down in the hole and begins beating at the stone there until the sword is free.
>It pierces the bottom of the hole.
>She shakes her head and climbs out of the hole.
>Then walks away with her head hung.
>Applejack wakes up and looks over to the hole in the ground where the sword rests.
>She then runs off.
>A lone balloon floats by and stops above the hole.
>It pops and the pieces of it stretch out to form Discord.
>He looks down at it and then slithers through the air to it.
>He puts his hand on it and pulls up thinking it would just come out.
>But it doesn't even move.
>He is taken back for a second and then pulls again.
>Same result.
>It's funny that he thinks adding a second hand would help at all.
>Because it doesn't.
>He turns the ground into cake with a snap of his fingers.
>The bench you are sitting on begins to sink and you hold on tight.
>Roseluck gasps and then takes a huge chunk of cake out of the ground up to her mouth, licking her lips.
>Discord tries pulling up again.
>It still doesn't move.
>Serious rage is seen on his face as he turns the ground back to normal.
>The bench is set back the right way and you sigh in relief.
>Roseluck takes a bite out of rock and shatters all her teeth.
>Discord points his finger at the sword and fires a blast of magic at it.
>It bounces off the sword and hits him in the chest, melting him into a puddle of all his colors.
>The liquid Discord runs down the street and then flies off to Canterlot in the distance.
>The mane six come to the sword with their elements.
>They surround the hole and then all of them begin floating.
>A rainbow is fired at the sword.
>In a nearly blinding light, the rainbow is shot back at them.
>They all fall to the ground and the elements shatter.
>Twilight is screaming about the elements of harmony while the other five stare at the sword.
>Suddenly they huddle together.
>Then they split up, each running into town at a different direction.
>Within a couple minutes, they have gathered all of P0nyville into a single file line.
>With Twilight holding on to the sword, they all pull back at once.
>The amount of pressure from this is too much even for the sword, and it comes flying out.
>It disappears with a twinkle in the sky.
>Twilight rubs a hoof behind her head.
>"Hehe... Guess that was too strong."
>...
>Past the Everfree Forest and hidden in the mountains lies the Changeling empire.
>As they do their own things, a sword stabs into the ground.
 
The End.
