Cave Story
Journey
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSix mares stand at the edge of ponyville in front of a crowd. They wave off to them as they head off to the Cave. They reach the entrance of the cave by night fall and look down into the cave.
"I can't see anything." Twilight says making her horn glow bright trying to see what's down the cave.
"I don't care lets get going." Applejack says galloping into the cave.
The flying blue pegasus flies in after followed by the white unicorn than Twilight and the yellow pegaus.
*Human*
"Alright guys we'll split off and meet back here alright." Yūkan says walking forward down the middle path.
"Alright try not to get yourself killed." Tsumetai says walking down the right tunnel.
"Right." The girl says going down the tunnel.
*Middle path*
With a giant grin on his face Yūkan walks down the tunnel looking each and every way he can.
"I really don't even see why this place is told so badly. Only down side is we can't get out." He says shrugging his shoulders.
After a few minutes of walking he comes to a door inside of the tunnels.
"A door? Down here?"
He touches the door and feel a cold shiver go through his body. Something pulled him to open the door. Something inhumanly He backs away from the door instantly feeling warm again.
"Hm. There has to be something behind this door." He says putting his flashlight at his waist and turning it off.
Light emanates from within the room dimly illuminating the tunnel a bit. He takes off his bag and quickly rummages through it to find his four inch sheathed knife.
"Alright. I'm ready." He says putting his bag back on.
He grabs hold of the door handle and clutches the knife tight in his grip. He opens the door fast and sticks his knife out ready for an attack. What he does find is something worse.
"Oh... God..." He says as he looks at the array of skeletons mounted on walls, half decayed bodies of things inhumanly and humanly lay draped on wires, flesh hangs from the wall like someone would do posters, and a large controlled fire holds on the left side of the room holds many different creatures and rest o pikes burning away filling the room with even more of the rotten smell of death.
He drops his knife and looks around the forbidding room. He turns around and drops to his knees vomit threatening to spill forth. He clutches his stomach shutting his eyes wondering who or what would do something so horrible like this. He shakes his head and quickly gets up and running back to the entrance to find the others and tell them about the horrors. He keeps running and comes to an opening with a giant hole in the ceiling.
"Wha... This wasn't..."
He looks around and sees the three tunnels around him. One to the left, the other to the right. and the one behind him he just came from.
"No no... This is not good..."
*Tsumetai*
Tsumetai walks down the long tunnel looking along side the walls for any traps. After a bit he notices a glow at the end of the tunnel. He keeps the flashlight close to the ground and starts to approach in a crouched manner. He goes up against the right wall feeling for any switches of the sorts and watching for stepping panels. The light dims as he gets closer. He finally reaches the origin of the light which seemed to be a crystal ball of sorts. The ball didn't seem to be getting any light from a source of any see able.
"Is it coming from within?" He asks himself touching the crystal ball.
At the touch the orb burst with a green light surrounding him in a bubble. He looks around letting go of the crystal. The bubble disappears with a flash and soaks back in the crystal.
"Great treasures indeed." He says staring at the mythical orb.
He takes a hold of the orb and lifts it from its pedestal. He walks forward with the orb and the bubbles follows him like a protective shield. He opens his rough sac and places the orb within for a later use if needed.
"This sure as hell gonna come in handy."
A door opens in front of the pedestal leading down further into the tunnel. He smiles and walks towards the foreboding hole in the wall ready to find more treasures within this forgotten place.
*Elza*
The girls walks down the tunnel humming to herself a song she just heard off the radio. The sound of trickling water catches her ear to the left as she comes to fork int he road. Her eyes twinkle as she thinks water equals crystals. She quickly heads down the left tunnel in search of the source. She runs into an open room that is dimly lit by some source of light. She sees droplet of water dropping down. On the ground lies where the water used to be. She shines the light up to see if any crystals had formed but what is up there is nothing but. Bodies lay spiked on stalagmites blood dripping from the them as some of them look just like they are freshly placed there. She backs away looking in terror at the bodies above her. Some don't even look like humans.
"What the hell!" She screams slipping in a blood pool behind her.
She slams the back of her head into the ground below her. She stands up a little dazed and blurry eyed from the fall. She turns and goes for her way out to find that there is no tunnel behind her. A voice chuckles out in the darkness.
"Welcome to my parlor said the Spider to the fly." The voice says sending chills down her spine almost like a hand was rubbing down it.
*Pony view*
Twilight lands with a thump beside her friends other than the two Pegasi that flew down with her. Twilight and the other stand up and look up the dark conceding dark tunnel they fell through after the entrance of the cave.
"I can see why they say ponies can't make it back but me and Flutter here can." The blue pegasus says flying up through the darkness before shortly coming back flying down at her friends.
"Wha...What!" She says looking at her friends with a weird look.
"What is it Rainbowdash?" Twilight asks a little worry in her voice.
Rainbow flies up multiple time each time coming back down to her friends before yelling, "I can't get out!"
"What do you mean you can't get out!" The brown mare asks.
"When I try to get out it just turns me around in the darkness. I know I'm flying straight up... Dear Celestia something ungodly is going on here." She says grabbing her elbows
"Don't worry about that Rainbowdash." Twilight says, "I'll we'll figure out what's going down soon enough."
"R...Right..." She says flying low to her friends with the yellow pegasus.
The group moves forward sticking close as they walk through the tunnel.
"Seems pretty straight for..." Twilight says before it comes to a three way split.
"I reckon we should split up." Applejack says moving forward towards the first middle tunnel, "It'll be easier to find the girls and we could just meet back up here soon after.
"Right." Twilight says, "Me and Rarity will go right.
"Me and Flutters will go right." Rainbowdash says.
"And I guess I'm going with Pinkie."
The friends split apart promising the to return to each other.
