Chapter 14- Pony got knocked da FUCK out

Just another pony- Chapter 14- Pony got knocked da FUCK out.

I woke up to a mane of rainbow. I then remembered where I was at, and tried to wake up Dashie.

“Hey Dashie?”

“Yes?”

“Can you get up? I can hardly move like this.”

“Are you complaining?”

“It may be the other conscience in me, but no. I just really got to get back to Twi so that she knows I'm alright.”

“Oh, alright. See you later Ty!”

“See you Dashie.”

I flew to the library to see a Twi sleeping on the couch again. I hate making this mare worry about me.

“Hey Twi, you awake?”

“Now I am, where were you last night?”

“I was too sore to fly back, I'm really sorry, but I had to stay at Dashie's for a night.”

“It's alright, I just got worried about you is all.” She came up to give me a hug.

“You don't need to worry about me, why didn't you just ask Thunder?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I thought you could talk to him mentally or something.”

“Oh no!”

You lied Thunder.

Yeah, it's called perception. It was pretty obvious a lot of the time.

“Well then. Thunder told me you could, it would have been pretty cool if you could.”

“Oh well. Today is one of your days off. A lot of weather ponies got tired thanks to the party and the sky can take a day off for now. I was going to go to the market when I got up. Care to come with me?”

“Not at all.”

“I was going to get some feed for Fluttershy, and some supplies for the library. I was also going to the market to get a little gift for Rainbow. I'm going to get her the new Daring Do novel today. She'll probably not have it yet because it hits the market today.

I'll have to get one too. I've taken a liking to this Daring Do character. Don't get any funny ideas; I'm not like that. I worry about Thunder though....

Anyways, the walk to the market was pretty pleasant. Although this one stallion did come up and be a complete and utter dick.

“Sup Twi. Who's the bastard here? That little filly I saw running from the party yesterday? I saw him come out while I was waiting outside, too cool to be at the party.”

Twi decided to speak to him, “You weren't there because Pinkie didn't invite you Cloud. I was walking to the market with Tybalt here.”

“So this is the wuss Tybalt? Or is he your little Ty? Babying him. Just why I left you. Remember how you said he would put me in the hospital after I-”

“I said DON'T TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.”

“Whatever. What do you got to say, little man? Being a little quiet, hmm?”

“Who are you?”

“Oh just Cloud Chaser. I left your whore because she was too uptight.” When he said 'Whore' I stopped dead in my tracks. No one talks to her like that.

“What did you just call her?” I was still mildly hurt thanks to John from yesterday, but I could still fight albeit half-heartedly.

“You heard me CRYbalt. I said WHORE.” Oh my god, that pun hurt it was so bad.

“Hey whorelight sparkle, remember how I said I was going to greet him?”

“Y-yes, why?”

“Well, here it is.” He turned around and met my face with his back hooves.

“Y-you don't want to do that Cloud.”

“Hm? What are you gonna do about it, bitch?” Oh hell no. I was not going to let him call Twi that.

Come on Tybalt, let your inner fire out. I am ready for some ACTION.

“Stop right there you fucker.”

“Oh? Does Crybalt have something to say? Cause if he doesn't, he better keep his muzzle shut before somepony bucks him again.”

“I fucking dare you to try it you bitch.”

“Hmph. You asked for it.” He reared back for another buck....

As soon as he launched out, I jumped up; dazing him. I then proceeded to clonk him in the back of his head with my front hoof. Also I decided to land on his leg, probably breaking it. I heard a satisfying 'snap' from his leg. He grimaced and reared to face me.

“You son of a bitch! I'll kill you for that.” I decided to back up, giving him room to charge.

“Yeah, come charge at me like the dumb bull you are.”

He charged, I flared my wings to get a good angle. Only then did he realize how fucked he was. I launched myself straight at him, my shoulder in front of me. I shoulder bashed him GOOD. It made me a bit uncomfortable, but he was hurting. Bad. I had worse in training, so I was good for the most part.

He was literally knocked onto his ass thanks to his charge. I jumped on top of him, beating him mercilessly. He brought this upon himself, and I was still a little mad from John attacking me. I needed a way to vent out, and that way was Cloud Chaser. I kept hitting him, not stopping once. Even though Twi was trying to pull me away for Cloud, who was bleeding profusely. I decided to let up, but not before spitting in his face. Paramedics had already arrived at the scene. They were loading Cloud onto a stretcher to get him to the hospital.

“Ty, what was that?”

“I wasn't just going to sit there and let him insult you like that.”

On the outside, Twilight was scared. On the inside though, she was glad Tybalt had did that. After all, she did tell Cloud that Tybalt would put him in the hospital. Ponies were desperately trying to get Cloud into the hospital. Almost nopony paid attention to me. I'm guessing that they all knew he was a jerk and he had what was coming to him. I don't know what made me, but I had to follow the ambulance. I don't know if it was that I cared, or if I just wanted to see him in pain; I just had to follow. I followed them throughout the streets all the way to the hospital. The rushed him into the Emergency Room. They told me that they had to perform urgent surgery on him. There was NO WAY I hurt him that bad, not to mention I was still a little sore thanks to John. Either I got stronger when I got here, or he was just particularly weak for a stallion. Either way, there's a good chance that he's going to die, and I want him to see the face of his killer so that he knows that he brought this upon himself.

I walked into the ER to find that Cloud could still talk. Yeah, emergency surgery and they leave you conscience. How wonderful that must feel.

“Y-you... Bastard. If I get out of here, I-Ill.... fucking.... Kill you.” With that, he passed out. I'd like to see him try to kill me again. It got him here, so let's see where it gets him next time. I would love to see this guy's grave. With me, first impression is nearly everything. If you come off like he did, it will be nearly impossible for me to like you. Just like if you come off as cool, I'm likely to be your friend.

“Come on Twi, we still need to get to the market.” I said, trying to forget what just transpired.

“A-all right, let's go Ty.” We were then quiet nearly the entire trip.

I say nearly because we had one awkward conversation, “Hey Twi?”

“Yes Ty?”

“I noticed... When was the last time there was a fight like that in town?”

“A-actually.... that was the first one.”

“I thought so.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, humans probably bring violence wherever they go. No matter where humans are, violence is one step behind. Answer me one more question, please.”

“A-all right.”

“When John first came here, did he get in any fights and why?”

“Actually, he did because he was protecting his friends; just like you did.”

“I wonder what his 'cutie mark' would have been.”

“Is that why your cutie mark a word ans shield?”

“Precisely.”

“Because you like to fight?”

“What? No! It stands for me protecting those who I love. I only fight when I have to, but I just couldn't control myself when he called you all of those names.”

“I-I know. And I love you for it. Please don't ever stop being who you are.”

“I love you too Twi. Here comes the market; let's just get what we need and get out.”

*******************

After me and Twi had gotten all that we needed from the market, we headed home. She would give everything that she got for her friends tomorrow.

“Hey Twi, I'm going to over to Apple Jack's farm, see you later!”

“See you Ty... Be safe.”

“I will, don't worry. I've seen worse than Cloud.”

I walked to the farm, with just me and Thunder to keep me company.

Hey Tybalt?

Yeah Thunder?

I just got to say... That was AWESOME.

Thanks. I was serious when I said I only fight when I need to though.

I don't know why you're so reserved with that awesome soldier body of yours.

You think being a soldier is awesome?

Hell yeah!

You think war is 'cool'?

….Yeah.

War is only enjoyable to those who haven't experienced it.

Yeah? I don't think so. You fighting was AWESOME.

Sigh... Remember Dead man's ridge?

Yeah, why?

That was a typical day of mine. I had to fight every day just to survive. I would gladly have given it up to live with my family. I was forced into the army. As in, I had no choice but to fight. If I didn't bring violence where I went, this place would have been perfect for me. Where everyone knows everyone and there is no plague. No death. No fighting. No crimes against humanity.

...You made me sad. I hope you're happy.

I'm never happy.

On the path to the farm, I saw some rustling in the bushes. Oh god, I hope it isn't another thing that wants nothing more than to rip my guts out.

Out of nowhere, Cloud Chaser jumped out! Seems that was an amazingly quick surgery. Must have something to do with the unicorns.

“Hey Crybalt! Nopony around to save you now... You're mine!”

I'm guessing he didn't learn his lesson. Sigh. Well I'm not going to let him beat me. He charged at me again. Foolish boy, he doesn't even learn from his actions. There was a slight rumbling in the distance, but neither of us payed no mind to it.

I knew exactly how to react to one of his charges. I jumped up, bucking him in the back of the head as I did. It sent him right into the field with his momentum.

That's when it all changed.

I didn't see the combine harvesting the field. Neither did Cloud. It was just so close, there was nothing I could do. He didn't even have time to scream. Before I even knew it, the combine swallowed him up, turning his screams into bloodcurdling gurgles as his throat was ripped out. The last thing I heard was the rumbling of the combine as his body was ripped apart. I saw blood spewing out of the back of the combine. A lifetime, gone. Dashed in the blink of an eye. I always hate seeing death. Most of the time, there's nothing you can do. Death is never fun, even when it's your worst enemy. Seeing someone get ripped apart piece by piece really can change you.

Dude....

Yeah Thunder. Seeing death in a memory is nothing like seeing it as it is happening.

I take back whatever I said about killing people, that was just too much....

Let's go home. I'm tired.

You're not even phased by this?

I've seen worse.

Like when????

You'll see if you ever open the interrogation room memory. Come on, let's get back to Twi. I just want this night over.

The walk back was a silent one. Deadly silence. Thunder usually always talks, but not now. Not now that he witnessed death right in front of him. I opened the door to the library to an embrace from Twi.

“Why are you back so soon? I started to worry because they had told me Cloud got out of the hospital...”

“He's dead.”

“W-what? What do you mean he's d-dead?”

“He tried fighting me again...”

“And you k-killed him?”

“Indirectly. He charged at me and I accidentally bucked him into a combine.”

“...”

“Come on, let's just go to bed. I want this day to be over.”
