"I feel more suspicion than oddity emitting from him." Mandaline says after picking up her order.

"Danger is inevitable." Mandaline replied as she walked to the shop counter.

"If the blacksmiths are too stupid to destroy it...then we have no choice but to do it ourselves. Unless someone else steps in to help. that is."

"You mean odious?" Mandaline says as she continues to watch the ring with aversion.

Mandaline did not answer, but she watched as the blacksmith drew a sword and pointed it at his follower threateningly. She replied "I found it within the Forest, in a small creek. I can feel an evil aura emitted from it..."

Mandaline did a facepalm at watching the doctor and the hooded stranger. "You two have no idea what you are working with do you?" She says stolidly, pulling out a plasma pistol. She charged the shot, then fired at the Tardis, the shot acting as a sort of EMP.

"You know very well that is against protocol. We're not even in the same squad..." Mandaline said, her sentence trailing off as she spotted a crashed Banshee.

"Well, nice to know that I'm not the only one here!" Mandaline said to 077 through her radio.

Mandaline walked into the trees, looking around. She held her Spartan Laser ready, watching closely for any hostile movement.

"Oi! If you are friendly, please show yourself!" She called out once more.

(This will go along the storyline of the movie. This is in pony form, not humanized.)

"Thinking twice about enlisting?" One stallion said tauntingly.

"Nope." Was Steve Rogers' reply. He walked up to the podium as his name was called, and was asked several questions.

After a while, the survey was over, and Steve asked "Wait...what are you doing?"

"Your asthmatic problems are already the issue. I'm saving your life." Was the medic's reply.

Steve walked outside, and headed for a theater. Sure, he was disappointed, but the one thing that always cheered him up was a good film.

"No sign of hostiles. Tracing distress beacon." MAndaline said from behind her dark blue Spartan IV MJOLNIR armor. She activated the air filters on her EOD helmet, and looked around. The Spartan heard a voice call out, and she said "United Nations Space Command! Be you friend or foe?!"

"...One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,

One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

In the land of Mordor where the shadows lie."

[colour=#000000]Those are the words etched into it, Milady." The blacksmith said, holding up the red-hot prongs.[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Mandaline did not reply immediately. She looked at the blacksmith, and said "Destroy it. I do not want that...thing....inside Equestria. Or anywhere, for that matter..."[/colour]

[colour=#000000]"Yes, Milady." The blacksmith said as he walked out the door. He gazed at the ring as he walked, nearly running into a fruit stand.[/colour]

[colour=#000000]Mandaline watched the stallion go as he walked, noting the unusual clumsiness. She closed the door behind her, and walked to the bakery. Her cousin's birthday was to be celebrated the day after the next, and she did not want to forget the cake her relative wanted.[/colour]

After a few moments of contemplating, Mandaline finally said "Let's knock."

She pulled the pin on a sentex grenade, and stuck the grenade to the door, which was blasted off by the sentex.

Mandaline said "Well, if you are that desperate for my company, I'll join you."

Shalidor placed a small bag of currency on the coffee table. "I believe this will last me two or three...possibly four months."

After regaining his composure, Shalidor walked out of the room and asked "What are you charging for the rent?"

Mandaline replied "No, I was asking if any of you are Programs. But it is becoming obvious that you aren't. I will keep you covered until your transfer is complete."

She then turned around, drawing her Disc. The visor reappeared, and the Dosc hummed Menacingly.

Mandaline checked her Disc. No enemy signatures. "Can't say I blame you for being hesitant in the trust department..." She said Balance. She smiled. "No need to worry. Programs like me fight for the Users, not chaos."

Mandaline looked at Lightning. "Are you a Program as well?" She asked, referring to the glowing.

The stranger replied "I was sent here to assist with a defense protocol against chaos. You may refer to me as Mandaline. "

Mandaline said "I will alert Tron and Anon about this. They can trace these to the device they came from, which might be useful. I think Flynn might know what to do militaristically...."

Mandaline looked around, feeling guilty about her immunity to magic.

Mandaline continued to twirl the Disc as she tried to think.

Shalidor walked into the room, and looked around. The lights on his body flickered once more, and he gave a grunt of pain with it.

(....what?)

Shalidor said "Affirmative." He stood in attention, like Tron had programmed him to.
