Episode 4: Neon-Pocalypse Meow Part 1:

Yet another day is Neon’s Paradise. Not sure what to say anymore other than another thing happened that is of worth writing down I guess. Well, where should I begin from what happened today? Hmmmm… Well, maybe I should mention it involves Arrell now.

Yup, it’s his turn in the world of Neon’s. Arrell, while he probably always had an identity crisis considering he never did too much when it came to the group, he definitely had his days… and this was one of those days. So we should start with earlier today where we were at the Party Store, all just hanging around like usual. Just standing around as the world outside was dying and scary, just like any other time, even before Neon. And speaking of Neon, Neon was trying to fix something for all of us, despite us not wanting to do anything with whatever he was making.

But this was Neon’s World, we had no choice. So as Neon was behind the counter, fixing and mixing with… things… that involved blood of little puppies I’m sure, we were all at one of the tables, sitting at the corner booths, all sitting around the circle table. And as we were all gathered around, we were just talking and trying to pass the time.

Mac was saying while in the middle of the conversation, “Only if I could fly like you Forrest and get the damn hell out of here!”

Forrest then responded with, “But… don’t you remember? I tried that… it didn’t work.”

Mac then said to Forrest, “Yeah but you didn’t try hard enough. Now what I would do if I had wings is that I would fly faster than you and still be able to carry one of you.”

Arrell then spoke up and said, “Nope, you wouldn’t be able to. Now with me, I may not be as fast as Forrest, but I would be able to carry one of you guy with me, maybe two. I’m that good, I got the muscles.”

Jack then said to Arrell, “Stop trying to talk like you’re tough. I’m the tough one here, you fucker.”

Arrell then said to Jack, “No need to use harsh language, but I understand it if you don’t have my good looks and charm. You don’t get these muscles without getting some of the ladies after all.”

As Arrell was saying that, Arrell was giving Jack that look that says, ‘Don’t worry, I know I’m better than you, and there’s no shame in it’ or that kind of look like he’s giving you the bed room eyes and you can’t help but think he’s coming on to you, even though you’re coming on to him in your mind. You know that kind of look. While Arrell gave him his slight charm of a smile and moving his eye brows up and down in a quick secession.

And Arrell towards the end even started to flex his right forearm as well, trying to show off his muscles, even though those muscles weren’t shit, but whatever. All the while Jack was looking a bit annoyed by Arrell’s words. And might I add that if Arrell could carry someone while he was flying, that person or pony or whatever would probably get stuck in his legs or something.

I mean, who would let someone just climb on to something that flies? That person or pony might fall off or get caught in some kind of landing gear and die, and that would be stupid and be on the one who commanding it all……. I think I just referenced something again. I’m getting some weird feelings from it too… gives me goosebumps.

Anyways, I then butted in and said to Arrell with a sort of cynical look in my eyes, “Your Ego is showing again Arrell.”

Arrell then started to look pissed at me as he said to me and looked me in the eyes, “I don’t have a fucking ego, you do.”

I then said to Arrell, “That’s what an egotistical person would say.”

Arrell, then being frustrated with me then gave a loud ‘ugh’ and then got out of his seat and said with an angered and annoyed look his eyes as he was walking through the exit of the Party Store, “I’m going out for a bit to clear my head.”

Forrest, with a worried look in his eyes, said to Arrell, “But what about Neon!? What if he finds out that you aren’t here?”

Arrell then said to Forrest, “Then you can take my spot and cover for me. I’ll see you guys later.”

And then Arrell went through the main doors and bailed on us, all the while Forrest looked over to Neon who was then staring back at Forrest with an evil look in his eyes all with his smile still being there.

And as soon as Forrest saw Neon’s eyes, he started to sweat nervously, not sure what Neon was going to do to him now that Arrell was gone and he was going to have to take his place. Sure, one of us could have taken Arrell’s place, but that’s why we have Forrest, he is a good friend after all.

MEANWHILE, IN THE PARK OF STALIA…

So Arrell went to the park in Stalia, once again, still destroyed and barren of most life. And Arrell went over to the bench that Mac sat down on last time, you know, when he didn’t have his face on that time… remember it? I member. Anyways, he was sitting down and started to have a depressed look on his face. And as he was sitting there, he gave a slight sigh and was looking at all the mutated animals and creatures roaming about that was made from after the blast.

You had a poor little doggy with no eyes but seven legs, a big ol’ mutated chicken that was now a predator and a big ant that was half the size of a pony with the legs of a spider, and with eight legs I must add. And there was a weird unknown creature that was made from the blast, it was kind of hard to describe since it’s unknown. Just know it was black, it was a predator, walked on four legs, and did not have fur, but like a weird hard scaly kind of skin, all with uhhh… sharp terrifying teeth.

Yeah just walking around, wasn’t doing anything but just walking. But Arrell was specifically looking at the ant one as the ant was just trying to look for food.

Arrell was then saying out loud after giving another slight sigh, “I miss when I had my animals back at my little cottage before all of this. I used to force feed the animals, keep the animals there against their own will, and even experiment on them and create new ones and take care of them, even though they spoke our language and asked me to kill it even though I would deny death to it. And Asshat… I miss you Asshat. Only if you were still here with me. You would be making my day and help me get through these times right now if you weren’t killed in the blast.”

Arrell then gave a depressed sigh in his voice as he continued to say, “I remember how you used to climb on to my back and we would do stuff together and you would help me out even though I’m sure you were autistic I think. Oh Asshat, those were the days.”

Then a mysterious voice from behind Arrell spoke up and said to Arrell in a very charming, deep, and male brit bong voice, “Those were the days indeed my dear friend.”

Arrell then shook his head to both sides to look and see who said that while saying, “Who said that?”

And then the mysterious voice said, “I did.”

And then Arrell looked to his left and right behind him, sitting on the top of the bench was a mysterious, normal looking black cat.

And he was licking his paws too, as Arrell asked him with a confused face, “A talking cat?”

The talking cat then said, “Yes, I couldn’t talk before. But after the… incident that your kind had, I was then soon made and now I don’t even age at all, let alone speak in a fluent language such as the one that your kind speaks.”

The cat had a warm little smile on its face while Arrell asked him, “Wow, and you’ve been living here... in this shit hole?”

The black cat then said, “Yes, well, it hasn’t been the best but the other creatures that remain alive are quite friendly once you get to know them, in fact some are just misunderstood. Perhaps you could understand them since you seem to be of their type.”

Arrell then asked the black cat, “If only I can do some weird shit to them that is probably against nature and god in every possible way.”

Arrell had said it was a little smile on his face.

And as the black cat was about to respond, he jumped down and sat down on its cat ass on the bench like how Arrell was, and said to him, “Ugh, never mind. But I am interested in you now. Do you happen to know a blue unicorn around? Perhaps even a green earth pony?”

Arrell then said, still with a smile, “Yeah I do! Their names are Knight and Neon.”

Arrell then started to have a little frown on his face as Arrell continued to say, “But you probably don’t want to meet him for… reasons..”

Arrell then had a curious look on his face as he then asked the black cat, “Why do you ask?”

The black cat then said, “Oh nothing. Just… curious is all. By the way, the name is Blacky.”

Blacky then extedned out his paw as a sign for a little handshake… hoofshake… pawshake… whatever…

And Arrell then said to Blacky with a smile, “The name is Arrell.”

Then Blacky then said in a charming tone, “I think we are going to be the best of friends there Arrell.”

And if you’re asking who Blacky is… or was. I don’t know how to explain it to you, it happened a while back. Let’s just a certain situation happened where it involved me being stuck in the woods somewhere in the north and that I was being hunted by a group. And some guy in that group named Blacky was a part of it if I’m not mistaken. And some guy named Sky I think too… didn’t happen too long ago too, like maybe a year or two ago…

BACK AT THE PARTY STORE…

So Arrell came back from the park as we were all around the counter, drinking some stuff in shake glasses as Neon was behind the counter. We all had sickly looking faces on as we were disgusted by what Neon had made for us.

I was asking Neon as Arrell was walking in on us, “What is this stuff Neon?”

Neon then looked at me and said, “It’s a blood shake! And not just any blood shake! Every one of your glasses is filed with a different type of blood mixed with other blood. So for example yours Knight, it has both Cat Blood and Fetus Blood… from the Slender Fetus!”

I then had a broken look on my face as I said to Neon, “Oh... joy… And you even killed that Fetus thing huh? Well… uhhh… I don’t know what to say.”

Neon then got a bit closer to me and then said, “Don’t say anything, drink up!”

And then Neon looked over to Forrest as Forrest was looking like he was about to gag, as Neon said to him, “And Forrest… since you let Arrell go, you have to drink his now… and I made it special for you.”

And then Arrell walked in with a smile on his face and Neon noticed. And Neon said with a smile, “Never mind, Arrell is back. Arrell, I made something special for you and…”

Arrell cut Neon off, in which case he had balls, “Never mind that Neon! I’m just so happy right now! I just made a new friend, a black cat named Blacky! And the best part, he talks! I just wanted to let you guys know that I’ll be a little late today when we go out to the gym, I need to go and meet Blacky about something. Well bye now!”

And then Arrell turned back around, ignoring our torment, and walking away like Neon wasn’t shit.

Neon then started to squint a little bit, meaning he was pissed, but for me, I had a curious look on my face as I put my right hoof up to my chin and rolled my eyes back as I was watching Arrell walking away and asked myself, “Blacky? Why does that name sound so familiar?”

Neon then said out loud to himself, with still his squinting eyes and smile, “Yes… why is that name so familiar?”

LATER AT THE GYM…

So Stalia has a gym, but it was basically destroyed from the blast. But it was kind of still intact with some gym stuff. Neon and Forrest was there cause I don’t know. Neon just wanted to do stuff with us, and one of those things was to work out. Sometimes Neon just surprises you, even when he has gone rogue. He just cares about our health.

And Neon and Forrest was already there, waiting on Arrell, meanwhile the rest of us were either at the Party Store or doing whatever.

As Forrest and Neon was waiting, Forrest asked Neon as he was hovering a bit in the air, “Where’s Arrell at?”

Neon then said with squinting eyes again, “Yes… where is Arrell…”

And then Arrell busted through the already busted doors of the gym and all with a smile and with Blacky… also with a smile.

Arrell walked in and said, “Hey guys, sorry I was late! Blacky was telling me the funniest story ever! Blacky, why don’t you tell them?”

Arrell was looking over at Blacky when he said asked him, but Blacky said with humbleness in his voice, “Oh I don’t think so Arrell. They don’t want to hear the boring story. How about we just get started what we are here to do huh?”

Arrell then said, “Well ok then. Let’s start exercising you guys!”

Neon just kept looking at the black cat with a bit of suspicion in his eyes. So the first thing they started to do was balance on big, dirty balls… you know those exercise balls, they were just dirty and covered in dust and stuff. But they still had plenty of air in them, and three of them to be exact, with a lime green one, a light blue one, and a yellow one.

Arrell had the blue, Neon had the yellow, and Forest had the green one as they were trying to do stuff with it, but the guys didn’t really get it so they were just laying on it and jumping on it, not sure what to do with it. But as for Blacky, he had a little sneaky look in his eyes as he was eyeing Neon, so he went over to Neon’s ball and popped it with his claw… so now we only had two balls now.

And as Neon’s ball deflated, and fell on the ground a bit, he just stared at the black cat still with a smile and squinting eyes. Next thing they did was running on the treadmills. They were broken, but the tread part was still movable. So all three of the guys were trying their best to move it and run, but of course Blacky spotted Neon, walked right up to him, and used his tail to trip Neon’s back leg.

And once Neon tripped, he fell flat on his face, but somehow you could tell he was still squinting at the cat without even looking at the cat. And the last thing they did was lifting weights. There was only one bar with a few heavy weights on each end, and it was Neon’s turn to do it. So he got on his two back legs, started to lift the weights in full with ease, and stood tall and mighty with a smile.

But then Blacky jumped up on to the weight and said with a charming smile, “I hope you don’t mind the extra weight.”

And as Blacky put all of his weight on the left end of the bar, Neon started to lose his balance and then fell to the left side, failing to hold the weight, all while having his eyes squint over at Blacky and with a smile.

But Forrest saw what was going on and had a worried look on his face as he then said to Arrell, “I think Blacky is starting to make Neon angry Arrell.”

Arrell, still with a smile on his face said, “What are you talking about, Blacky is harmless.”

He had said while doing that shooing movement with his right forearm.

LATER THAT DAY AT KNIGHT’S HOME / THE LIBARAY…

Stalia only had one library, and that was what used to be my home. And while Neon was gone, me and Wolf decided to go back to the house anyways and look at the books just because we were bored. And once we had entered our old home, it was still intact.

And as I had opened the door for me and Wolf, I said to Wolf, “Damn, it feels like it has been forever since we’ve been here.”

Wolf then said in a normal tone, “I don’t know, seems about all the same to me.”

I then had a curious look on my face as I looked down to Wolf right next to my right and asked him, “What happened to you? Who touched you?”

Wolf then said to me, “The day when alcohol stopped coming Knight. I can no longer get drunk off my ass so therefore I am having no feelings anymore.”

I then said to him, “Oh… ok…”

And so the both of us walked to the library portion of the home. And once we did and I turned on the lights, cause I had a backup generator in the basement, surprisingly Neon didn’t get to that after the blast.

And Once I did I looked at all of the books, and I said to myself, “Wow… even the books are still here, all untouched. Can’t say I have too many memories in this room.”

Wolf then said to me, “How can you? You never wanted to be here to begin with, and all of this was for nothing as we will all die one day and the sun will explode, killing us all and eliminating everything and anything we had ever done. This world is for nothing. Our lives were for nothing. And now a green pony will just mock our lives like how we mocked ourselves.”

I then asked Wolf, “What?”

And that’s when Arrell popped up behind us with a smile alongside Blacky as he said, “Hey Guys!”

I had jumped up a bit from that, but wasn’t too startled as me and Wolf then turned around and asked Arrell with a curious look on my face, “Arrell, what are you doing here?”

Arrell then said to me, “Oh it wasn’t my idea, it was Blacky’s.”

Blacky then raised his right paw up and said to me, “Charmed.”

I then still had a curious look on my face, I asked Blacky while looking at him, “Do I know you from somewhere?”

Blacky then said to me, “Perhaps… maybe it was very cold. Perhaps very dark and gloomy with a few others with em.”

He had said those last words with a little evil look in his eyes as he said them, but I wasn’t catching on so I said to him, “Uhhh… not that I can recall.”

Blacky then said, “Then no, you don’t know me. Shall we be let in?”

I then said to Blacky, “Uhhh… Sure… why not?”

And then me and Wolf backed up a bit and moved to the side to let the two in. As the two walked right on in, Arrell was looking around while Blacky was just watching me. But I ignored and shrugged it off as I went to one of the shelves and used my magic to get one of the books off the shelves, and as I was doing so, Blacky went up behind my left back leg and then got out all of his sharp, untrimmed claws, and scratched my back leg really hard.

As in so hard that my back leg started to bleed a bit, and once he had done that, and he had done it with a smile I might add, I jolted up, yelled a little bit, and dropped the book as I then had a pissed off look on my face as I then looked downward and stared at Blacky and said to him, “Ow, you little fucking prick!”

Blacky then went over to Arrell, as Arrell was confused as to what was going on.

I had then turned around to look at Arrell and said to him, “Arrell, your little cat friend is being a dick.”

Arrell then said with a smile, “Blacky? Pfft… he’s harmless. He wouldn’t harm a fly.”

Blacky didn’t say a word in his defense; he just smiled with a charm, innocent look on his face.

And as I saw staring at him, I still had a pissed off and annoyed look on my face as I said to Arrell, “Yeah… well we’ll see about that…”

And then two left because why not?
