Lonely Roads

"KNOCK OUT ROSE YOU COME HERE THIS INSTANT!" Mrs. Brook had a very frazzled mane. For the past six months, Kor didn't deem to much of a problem. She was quiet and liked to observe everything that she hasn't seen before. Somepony didn't realize how difficult a unicorn foal can be once that stage passed. Her pink head band, yet again, seemed to fail at it's intended purpose. Kor teleported to the other side of the room, determined to not be caught. Brook tried to catch her with her telekinesis but a unicorn foal's magic is much more powerful then that of an adult. Until the foal's third birthday, Brook and Ash would have to deal with a troublesome filly. The silly filly gurgled a few undecipherable words and teleported out of her mother's grip. A strange smell came from Kor as she giggled. Someone left a present for her mommy in the diaper. "Rose you come here this instant!" Brook gave her a stern expression. The foal gave her a pouty look and crawled over to her mother. The mare lifted the pink/red foal with her telekinesis and carried her into the bedroom. She undid the diaper and a disgusted look appeared on her face. "Geez, what do you eat?"

"Well I would think your milk," smirked the earth pony that walked in.

"Hey Ash," sighed the aqua mare.

"Well at least she's living up to the knock out part of her name," he chuckled. The mare soon let out a small giggle, "She defiantly is. Did you know that she kicked Dusty in the jaw yesterday? He told me that he thought he was going to black out."

Yes, if you were wondering, she has a very strong kick. I really felt the earth pony bloodlines kick in. No pun intended. On the bright side, Sr, short for Stirling Rain, defiantly enjoyed her company. He couldn't stop giggling the whole time. Anyways, back to the couple.

"She'll def be a good fighter then, won't you, you little poopsy," he laughed blowing raspberries on the stomach of the freshly changed filly. All Kor could do was let out some high pitched shrieking and small little chortles. Ash and Brook climbed unto the bed after the diaper was disposed of. The good thing about foals is that they get tired quickly. They lied on their bellies and put Kor near their heads. The foal's eyes started closing as she put her hooves onto Ash's muzzle and she hung on, as if she feared that he would leave her alone. The couple looked into each other's eyes and let out a sigh of relief. The three ponies drifted off to a peaceful slumber.

Ash woke up with a start. His aqua mate was quietly snuggled up to his pink/red foal. He heard low voices outside trying to shut each other up. His dark eyes narrowed. Thankfully the windows in the bedroom were set high up and had strong, steel bars protecting his treasured family. He gently shook his wife away. She looked at him with bleary eyes. Brook saw him put his hoof to his mouth, gesturing her to not make a sound. Her eyes widened as her ears swiveled and caught the voices outside. "Lock the room and hide," he mouthed as he slowly climbed out of their bed. He winced as it slightly groaned from the shifting weight. Brook stayed on the bed, the hinges of the room squeaked slightly as he left the room. Brook locked the door with magic. The mare barely noticing that she was shaking as she picked up her foal and took her to the closet. She locked the closet from the inside and climbed through a small trap door on the wall. The sleeping filly still in her grip. Brook locked the hidden door and careful settled Kor into her hooves. Her horn glowed green again as she sent a telepathic message to Crimson Dust and Nuka Rose. "Help. Danger. Hiding. Ash went to investigate. Please. Come. Soon." She heard a crash and a grunt. "Please don't let that be Ash. Make it be the intruders," she whispered.

Ash tried to quietly close the door, but the hinges couldn't resist to let out a tiny creak. He waited as still as a statue until her heard the door lock and the closet door to lock. He let out a sigh of relief. At least they were safe and help would get here before the intruders would get to his family. Not the same could be said for him. At least he could stall the intruders. He tip toed to the middle of the room, not an easy feat for a large, earth pony He breathed in quietly and deeply and slowly exhaled. He sat on the couch, after he put on his knife bracelets. He flicked both fetlocks as a knife slid out from each bracelet. He breathed in deeply, some pony rammed the door, over and over again. He heard a kick and watched as his door splinted in half towards him. A large earth pony walked in. His coloring was that of dry blood and his mane and tail were even darker. If one would observe closely, they would see dark stripes covering his body. Traditional Zebra armor protected him. Suggesting that he was a follower of the Empire. A grin allowed the stallions pearly whites to flash in the full moon. "You know, I think it's very rude of you to  just break someone's door like that," Ash grunted roughly to the other earth pony. Two slightly smaller unicorns flanked the supposed Zebra, who was mistaken for an earth pony. They were both dark grey with white stripes. Mohawks adjourned their heads. If looked further beyond, a pegasus zebra and another earth pony zebra flanked the unicorns. One was silver with black markings and the pegasus was dark blue with silver markings. "So do you all paint those stripes on, or are those saved for the pets," sneered Ash. The large zebra walked over to him.

"No, and we're here to capture all the mares in your town." Ash growled and lunged towards the zebra's throat. Red magic enveloped him and threw him to the other side of the room. He landed on a small table and a vase flew off, breaking once it made contact with the floor. "I wouldn't recommend that," he snickered, "Scar can be pretty protective of me. Ash opened his eyes with a slight groan. "Think that's gonna knock me out," he got up on his hooves and stared at the intruders. "I don't like it when random pieces of shit enter my premises and try to take over," the earth pony growled.

The female Zebra unicorn smiled darkly at him, "and we don't like it when our victims get up to fight, but I guess we can't get it easy in life." A red aurora engulfed him again and flung him across the room, his head smashing into the wall.

"That's how it's done," she smirked at her crowd, only to find four ponies in the room. The last zebra taken care of. A blue unicorn with a shaggy black and red mane walked up to her, and slit her throat.

"Nuka, check out Ash. Make sure he wakes up and gets treated," he said calmly. A lime green mare with pink stripes walked up to him.

"What pony in their right mind would come into a town where they're bound to get killed," red eyes scanned the head of the dead mare known as Scar.

"Not a pony, a zebra from the empire," snarled Nuka Rose, her green eyes practically smoldering with anger. Nuka looked at Crimson, "I'll go find Brook." The unicorn zebra walked away, going straight to the bedroom. The door was splintered open. A dark earth pony searching under the bed, got up suddenly. "What a coincidence, Thorn. I didn't know you lived here."

"My name is Nuka Rose now. This is my friends' home and I ask of you to leave," she said with cool calmness.

"Oh come on now Thorn, remember us? Remember me?"

"Well your us, are all lying dead outside and I remember being a slave. Raped every single day by your stallions once I reached of age" her voice so sharp that it could cut through glass. She kicked him, and then jumped to the other side of the room. Each move was fluid and full of grace. The stallion smiled, "I see you still remember how to fight." Both ponies were now standing on their hind legs. Each throwing a precise move. Yet none of those hits landed on either attacker. "KOR NO!"  A dark green aura suddenly picked up the stallion and threw him against the wall. Knocked unconscious. The little unicorn filly starred up into Nuka's surprised eyes. "Nice," was only word Nuka managed to get out. The green and pink mare looked over to her friend, a horrified look settled on her face. "I'll take the body outside," the lavender maned mare nodded her head slightly.

Revenge is Sweet.

Don't worry, none of the ponies were hurt. The zebra's bodies were burned and the good guys escaped with no scratches.
