The Stone Ones

"Are you sure this stuff is safe?" Twilight asked Forge.

Today was the day that Twilight had been waiting for. She was going to get, along with the other girls, Quicksilver. The said substance was in 6 small puddles right next to the girls. Forge had insisted that it was perfectly safe but it didn't help that him and the other 2 humans were hiding behind a wall like the stuff was about to explode.

Forge popped his head out from the safety of the wall and nodded. “Yep. You’ll be perfectly safe, just step on the Quicksilver and it'll do the rest."

"Wouldn't it hurt?" A scared Fluttershy asked.

"No Miss Fluttershy, it'll just feel.... funny. Now come on girls we haven't got all day, I'm sure you want to get home." The girls looked at each other and then at the Quicksilver. Surprisingly the first one to step on their puddle was Fluttershy. All of the girls quickly backed away and Forge ducked back down.

Luckily for them Fluttershy didn't blow up. The Quicksilver just swirled around her hoof, ran all around her body and started to float around her head. Fluttershy giggled. “It tickled." She told the relief-ridden girls. Forge peeked back up from the wall and grinned.

"See perfectly safe! Come on ya scaredy ponies, step on your puddles!" Dash and Aj looked at each other, embarrassed that Fluttershy was braver than them, and stepped on their puddles at the same time, both of them giggling from the process. This prompted the other girls to do the same. After they all finished Forge and the other humans came out of their hiding place.

"Good it worked!" Forge happily said, looking at each of the girls Quicksilver for any signs of problems. Rainbow looked at Forge angrily.

"Are you saying that you had no idea what this stuff was going to do to us?!" Forge didn't looked at her as he replyed, checking Twilight's quicksilver as it floated around her.

"Yep."

"Thank god what happened to the last pony didn't happen to you. Celestia wouldn't let Forge hear the end of it." Reaper said. The girls cocked their heads at him.

Longstrider was happy to elaborate. “Forge tried to bind Quicksilver to a mare. She exploded twice." He made a blowing up motion with his hands.

“WHAT?!" The girls yelled.

Longstrider continued. “Yep, you should of seen it. The poor bitch blew up, then reformed, then blew up again.”

The girls looked angrily at Forge, who threw his hands up in surrender. “Alright alright! I'm sorry for putting your lives in danger! Can you forgive an old- OW!"

After the girls each got their hits on Forge, who complained loudly at being beaten for just a little mistake. They took a good look at their Quicksilver, all 6 of which were floating all around them. Their anger sated they all wanted to know how the stuff worked. Aj, ever tactful, said, "How in the hay does this stuff work?"

Forge looked up from rubbing his bruised head and answered. “Just tell it what to do, it'll do the rest."

Pinkie jumped up and down, excited," Omygosh! Why don't you change into a balloon, or a jump rope, or maybe-" Before she could finish her quicksilver flew into her mouth, shutting her up. Forge chuckled.

“Like I said this stuff is semi-aware, I guess you were irritating it Pinkie." Pinkie tried to speak but it didn't make any sense with the Quicksilver still in her mouth. Forge just shrugged and continued.

“Now girls this stuff might... mess, that's the word... with you emotions a little. You might get some mild mood swings, nothing that a little self- control can't prevent." The girls nodded and Dash flew up in the air, excited.

"O man! I can't wait to use this stuff to help me with my tricks! I'll make the Wonderbolts for sure!" Forge smiled.

"If anything can help you that'd be it; fair warning girls, this stuff has a limited amount of power to it, you use it too long and it'll just wrap around your leg until you recharge it with the sun or the moon's rays. Understood?" The all nodded and kept playing around with their Quicksilver.

Across the castle Celestia, Luna, and Chrysalis were talking about the changeling queen's punishment in the form of the worse kind imaginable, working for Forge.

"You see, with Forge you have to constantly have to keep on your toes or you'll..... Well you'll be hurting afterward. So you’re pretty much Forge's assistant, voice of reason, and babysitter." Chrissy snorted.

"It can't be that bad working for him, can it?" The two princesses looked at each other and shivered.

"Thou have no idea." Luna fearfully said to her as Celestia handed her a big book.

"This is all you need to know about Forge, remember not to let him work more than 5 days without sleeping. Bad things happen if you don't. And another thing-"

Chrissy slowly tuned Celestia out as they walked down the endless hallways to the courtyard where they were met with an odd sight. Pinkie was bouncing around on a silver pogo stick, laughing hysterically, Twilight was writing notes on the floating metal in front of her, Dash was trying to outrun her floating metal and failing, Rarity was looking into a mirror that was floating all on its own, Applejack was trying to keep some of the floating metal away from her hat, and Fluttershy was trying to hide from her's.

Celestia's eye twitched, she knew what the metal was, and she couldn't help specifically remembering telling Forge not to give the girls Quicksilver. And speak of the devil; Forge strolled in the courtyard with a big grin on his face. "Ladies." He said, tipping his imagery hat to them. Celestia responded with a hoof to his head.

"OW! What the fuck was that for?!"

"What did I tell you about binding Quicksilver to them?"

"But-"

"But nothing! You're supposed to protect them, not try to kill them!" Forge shrugged.

“At least it worked.... Would it make it better if I said I was sorry?" Celestia put a hoof to her chin in thought.

“hmmmmm….” WACK.

As Celestia chewed forge out, Reaper and Longstrider walked out with rope a lot of rope. “Ready to go everypony?" Longstrider cheerfully asked, interrupting Forge getting ripped a new asshole.

When Forge saw the rope he groaned and Celestia and Luna snickered. “What’s the rope for?" Pinkie asked, still bouncing on the pogo stick. Longstrider turned to her and grinned.

“This is what's getting us home Ms. Pie. Ponyville's-"

“Forge’s Town." Forge interrupted

“Whatever. Its 10 miles away right from here right Tia?" Celestia's grin got bigger.

"The old swan dive Longstrider? Wouldn't it be easier to take a chariot to Ponyville?"

"Yes it would!" Forge yelled. Reaper snickered, walking over to Forge and nudging him with a shoulder.

"What's wrong buddy? Scared of a few thousand feet of open air?"

"You know that's not the reason!" Forge said, frowning.

"Um. I'm sorry to stop... This" Rarity said, gesturing to them. “But what is a swan dive?" The 2 humans and princesses snickered while Forge dawned a frown.

"You'll see Miss Rarity." Longstrider cryptically said as he tied the thin rope to an arrow and got his bow out. Walking to the edge of the courtyard where Ponyville was easy to spot he motioned for everyone to step back. Taking a wide stance he pulled the arrow back. "You girls might want to look away." He advised as the arrow glowed green.

"Clear!" Reaper yelled.

“Clear!” Forge half-heartily yelled.

"Fire in the hole!" Longstrider yelled as everyone looked away.

There was a deafening boom as the arrow shot thought the air at Mach 6, reaching the outskirts of Ponyville and lodging in a tree in seconds. The other end of the rope was tied down and was tested to see if it would hold a humans weight. By then a chariot was in the courtyard and all of the girls were herded into it.

The Reaper pulled out 3 hooks and handed one to Longstrider and tried to hand on to Forge, who refused it. “I’m not taking that; I'll just ride with the chariot." Longstrider snorted.

“Did you forget to put a tampon in this morning woman?" Forge narrowed his eyes at Longstrider.

"How many times have we done this?"

"26" Longstrider responded without missing a beat.

"And how many times have I gotten hurt because of it?"

".....26."

"That's fucking right!" Celestia figured now was the time to ruin Forge's day.

“There’s no room in the chariot Forge." Forge glared at Celestia, who fluttered her eyelashes at him.

Sighing, he took the hook, his shoulders slumped. “Fine… but whatever gets damaged is your fault Tia"

After their goodbyes, Longstrider took a running start and jumped off the ledge, hooking the rope he laughed like a madman, zooming down to ponyville. Next was Reaper who did a flip in the air before doing the same thing. Lastly was Forge who hugged each of his sisters in turn. “Goodbye Tia, goodbye Lulu. You girls come down and visit now ya hear?”

He hugged Luna close. “Little one, don’t be mad at your sister.” Luna stiffened.

“We- I forgave her for sending me to the moon, I deserved it, but you? No- I” Forge hugged her tighter.

“O little one, Tia hasn’t stopped beating herself for her mistakes. Now no but’s, make your peace with our sister.” Luna sighed and wrapped her wings around him, wrapping him in as tight of a hug as possible.

“I will. I promise.” Forge chuckled and broke the hug and messed up her mane. Turning to a smiling Celestia he wrapped her in another hug.

“I missed this.” Celestia said sighing, also wrapping her wings around him. “Why aren’t so guys mad at me I messed up, I-

“Forge clamped her mouth shut and looked sternly up at her.

“Now Tia, we forgave you, quite beating yourself up about it!” She smiled warmly down at him and nuzzled him.

“Remember Forge, no making golems.” Forge huffed.

“But I’m so close to-“

“Forge.”

“*sigh* Fine.” Forge broke the hug and looked up at her.

“Hey Tia, did you remember to tell you student about that spell?" Celestia tapped a hoof to her face and chuckled.

“No I forgot, Twilight, my faithful student!" Celestia called as Forge hooked the rope and flew down with his brothers. Twilight bounded to her teacher as fast as her hooves could carry her.

"Yes princess?"

"I needed to show you a spell that would help you protect yourselves from the effects of Forge’s pheromones." Touching her horn to her students she used a memory spell so she could do it without having to spend the long hours perfecting it. After Twilight tried it out on herself she nuzzled her teacher and promised to use the spell on the other girls when she got to ponyville....

5000 feet in the air......

This isn't so bad. forge thought as he zoomed to ponyvillemaybe all of those times were flukes. Just then he
heard the sound of steel starting to break. Forge groaned, he didn't have to guess what was about to snap. Looking sadly up to the sky Forge said," Why god why?"

SNAP!

Just then Forge's hook snapped, sending the human in a free fall thousands of feet in the air. Also, as luck would have it the wind picked up, sending Forge flying past his brothers, both of which weren’t least bit surprised that something like this would happen. As he flew toward Ponyville, going about 200 miles per hour, Forge first prayed to Tittyshit's, the patron saint of when bad shit happens that you know are going to happen but you get roped into doing that stupid thing by your asshole siblings. Then he bellowed at the top of his lungs, “Longstrider, for fuck's sake, slow me down!" He then curled up into a ball and willed the little bit of Quicksilver that he had left to protect himself the best he could.

Longstrider chuckled and enveloped him in his magic, so when he hit the ground he was only going 60 miles per hour, instead of 200. Not that it hurt any less.

Forge hit the ground like a rag doll, bouncing right back up through the air, swearing the whole time and leaving a nice sized crater in Sweet Apple acres as he flew toward town...

Right at the same time, Lyra and Bon Bon, were having their daily discussion (most of the ponies in town called it an argument but whatever...) about Lyra's favorite and Bon Bon's least favorite subject, humans.

" For buck's sake Lyra, human's do.not. exist! There is no proof they ever existed, and your dreams don't count as evidence! You think that one day a "human" is just going to fall out of the sky. That's never-"

“Get outta the way you stupid fucking ponies!"

Lyra and Bon Bon looked up, and lo and behold Forge flew down, smashing through their table, and going through the wall and into the house of Vinyl Scratch and Octavia.

“50 shades of FUCK ME THAT HURT!...”

Lyra looked smugly at her roommate. “I’d like an apology now if you don't mind." She said to Bon Bon, whose jaw was on the floor...

Forge groaned, his eyes closed. If you don't open your eyes then the pain wouldn't come. He thought to himself. Ya it's work- Oooo fuck me I was wrong, so WRONG! He groaned again an opened an eye to see where he was. It looked like a nice living room, or at least it was. The whole hole-in-the-wall thing had now ruined the whole flow of the place. To make matters worse Forge had broken the support beam of the house and the whole thing was about to fall on him.

"What the buck is that?!"

...and apparently the residences of the house as well...

Shooting up and lifting the collapsing ceiling with a grunt, Forge saw the ponies whose house that he accidently broke. One was a mare with a white coat, electric blue mane, and the reddest eyes that Forge had ever seen. The other was also a mare with a black man, grayish coat, violet eyes, and an adorable little bow tie around her neck.
Both of them were wrapped in bath robes, and with a quick look around Forge saw that there were used tissues all around the place, which brought Forge to the conclusion that the 2 were sick. It is also important to note that both of them had weapons in their hooves, the white one had a broom and the other had… Is that a cello? Forge thought as he tried to think is a way to diffuse the situation without getting the shit beaten out of him.

“Ladies, nice weather isn’t it?” He said weakly.

He got the reaction he was expecting.

Both of the mares screaming charged Forge, makeshift weapons raised. He took the cello across the face and the broom in his already probably broken ribs.

“Ow. Ladies stop for- OW!- a second and-OW!” Sighing he lowered the ceiling that he was still holding a little. The house groaned and shifted slightly, causing the mares to freeze, both in mid-strike.

“That’s better…. now I’m sure you’re mad that I broke your house but can you attack me later? When I’m not holding up about 5 tons of death above your heads?” The one with the red eye glared at him angrily and hit him again.

“You bucking stupid monster!” She said in a nasally voice, probably because she couldn’t breathe out of her nose. “Look at our house! Filthy Rich is going to make us pay for the bucking thing and we can barely afford the rent in this place now!”

“… Well that made me feel bad.” Forge told the mares.

“You should feel bad you ruffian!” The other pony said in a refined voice. “Crashing through other ponies things; didn’t your mother teach you better?!” Forge couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Look how about we argue about how badly I was raised in-“

“Are you dead in their Forgey?!” Longstrider called, poking his head in the hole in the wall. He got a wacked in the face by a pissed off DJ as a response.

“OOOWWW! What the fuck was that for?! Vinyl hefted the broom again, her red eyes burning with rage.

“Get the buck outta here monster! One of you thingy’s already broke our house no-“Forge groaned as he strained against the weight of the house.

“Hey Longstrider” He said “Could you give me a hand here? This house is really heavy.” Longstrider walked around Forge and tried to touch the ceiling but couldn’t, he was about 4 inches too short.

“No can do Forgey, you’re the only one big enough to reach the ceiling. Can’t you use your magic to lift the house?” Forge groaned.

“No there’s lead all though the house.” Longstrider whistled.

“That sucks buddy.”

“Fuck you. If you assholes didn’t make me do that swan dive everything would be fine right now, but noooo! I smash though a house, breaking at least 3 ribs in the process, get my ass beat by the owners of said house, and have to have a long ass conversation while I’m holding up said fucking house!” Longstrider smiled weakly.

“At least you’re meeting ponies.”

“…….” Forge honestly didn’t know how to answer that, so instead he sighed and looked at the 2 mares.

“You ladies might want to get anything you don’t want crushed out of the house. I can hold this house up for a few minutes.” The mares looked at each other and nodded as Forge looked at Longstrider. “Help’em out Longstrider, since it’s pretty much your fault that their house is broken anyway, and get Reaper’s black ass in here too he can help.” Longstrider saluted and walked outside where there was quite a sizeable group of ponies were gathering outside Vinyl and Octavia’s house.

He looked Vinyl and Octavia, both of which were still holding their weapons. “Now girls just get the things you need, I promise you will be reimbursed for everything else.” They both nodded and went through the house, showing Longstrider and Reaper everything that needed to be taken out…

20 minutes later…..

“What and the hay happened here?” Twilight asked as their chariot landed in Ponyville. There was a large group of ponies near her neighbor’s house, along with a mountain of instruments and DJ equipment that was neatly stacked a safe distance from the house. The said house was swaying dangerously, looking like it was about to fall any minute.
As they trotted over to see what was happening, Longstrider walked out of the front door carrying a large speaker. “Longstrider” Twilight said, all of them racing toward him.” What happened?” He put the speaker down and chuckled. “Forge took a little spill a few thousand feet up and smashed through a house.” The girls gasped and Chrysalis chuckled at her boss’s misfortune.

“O my goodness is he alright?” Fluttershy asked, ready to bolt into the house to give him medical attention. Reaper came out with Octavia, both of them carrying boxes full of stuff.

“He’s just got a few broken ribs; maybe a broken ankle. He’ll pull through.” The girls peeked inside and saw Forge holding up the house. Aj whistled.

“Has he been holding that house the whole time? Shoot that must be a lotta weight!”

“Ya it fucking is!” Forge yelled in from the house….

Back in the house Forge was sweating his balls off, every muscle in his body screaming in pain. Apparently a few things consisted of everything in the fucking house. Thankfully Vinyl was taking the last thing out, one of her favorite wub’s.
“Can you hurry up and take that speaker out ma’am?” Forge groaned.” I can’t hold this house up for much longer.” Vinyl looked at him and huffed.

“This isn’t a speaker! It’s a wub!” Forge looked the wub over.

“What’s the difference?” Vinyl huffed again and looked away from him. Forge grinned.

“I’m sorry ma’am” He said. “I didn’t mean to ‘wub’ you the wrong way.” He chuckled at his own joke and was rewarded with a smack in the ribs from Vinyl.

Wincing, Forge said,” Watch the ribs!” Vinyl giggled.

“You’re alright for a monster. And no more of that ma’am stuff, the names Vinyl.” Forge smiled and nodded a head at her.

“Name’s Forge, nice to meet you Vinyl; now get outta here so I can bring down the house.” They both chuckled at the bad joke as Vinyl got outside and a safe distance away from the house.

“Reaper is everypony outta the way?” He called.

“Yep!”

With a grunt and his last bit of strength, Forge threw the whole top of the house up a bit, making a beeline for the door as it came crashing down. He got out of the way as the house came down with a crash, bust and debris shooting out, creating a cloud of dust.

Gasping for air and on all 4’s, Forge grinned to himself. At least that- He heard the sound of a lot of ponies sniffing the air. Forge froze, realizing that he was drenched in his own sweat with a large group of females around him. Losing all of his coloring he looked up. All of the ponies, female and even a few males, all except Twilight, Vinyl, the two humans, (both of whom were watching the whole scene with amusement) and Octavia were looking hungrily at Forge with bedroom eyes.

“Fuck me with a rusty spear.” Forge muttered as he looked at his niece, knowing that he was too tired and hurt too badly to make a successful escape, and also knowing that Celestia has taught her the spell that would save his ass from a molesting. “TWILIGHT!” Forge bellowed in fear. “SAVE ME!”

….We will not coerce with something that surrounds itself with demons creature. You killed 2 of my kin; pray to whatever gods you follow that I didn’t catch you.If I ever have the displeasure of seeing you again your skulls my new drinking cup.

The human sighed, throwing the letter into the fire. That could of gone better he thought as he got up and walked into the big cavern that held his army. He looked down at the mass of black bodies and smiled.

From his vantage he could spy the red of fires that the forges were producing, each of them churning our various weapons of death. A little past those there was a large group of goblins circled around what looked to be 2 chieftains fighting, both of them screaming curses at each other in their rough tongue.

He sighed to himself; his hoard were getting bored, the enemy of discipline. Humming to himself, the human walked over to the ring and pushed through the mass of bodies. When he got to the front he took a second to admire both of the hulking goblins.

Both of them were bare chested, showing the red tattoos that signified their statue as chiefs. Both of them were about a foot taller than the normal goblins with huge hulking frames that showed bodies riddled with scars. To the humans surprise the smaller of the two was giving better than he was getting, the bigger one covered in his own blood and panting. Deciding that the fightt had gone on long enough he took two steps out of the crowd and cupped his hands to his mouth.

“What’s going on here?!” He yelled, the crowd turning silent in an instant. Both of the battling goblins stopped and walked over to the human, both of them bruised and bloody.

One of them growled and pointed at the other. “This one stole from my clan!”

The other snorted and butted heads with the other. “Say that again and you’re skulls my new drinking cup.”

“I’m going to-“

“ENOUGH!” The human roared, making all around him shrink back. Grabbing both of them and lifting them up into the air.
“You want blood? Fine, get the troops together; we’re going on a raid.” The goblins roared in approval, the two chieftains along with them. The human smiled, he should be thanking that pack leader for saying no to his proposal.

And was exactly what he was going to do….
